Ok then, so what event exactly were you referring to, when you said "the Browns were getting what they deserved"?
The Chubb injury, right? I can't imagine what other event you could have been referencing.
So you were saying the Browns deserve the Chubb injury, because they signed Watson.
That's not a good look. Justifying injury like that.
On top of all that, you root for a team that had Rothlesburger as their QB. That's pretty hypocritical, is it not?
"Lemonade requires a significant amount of sugar. Otherwise, you've just made lemon juice."
It's pretty obvious to a neutral observer that RR meant the Browns deserve getting a lousy QB for signing Watson. Connecting that statement to Chubb is a huge stretch.

Looking back over the thread, and the context in which the comment was made, I agree.
Out of context, it really seemed like RR was referencing the Chubb injury, but in fact, he was referencing Watson's poor play at QB.
I take back what I said, my mistake, RR.
"Lemonade requires a significant amount of sugar. Otherwise, you've just made lemon juice."

Event? Who said I was referring to an event? I’m referring to Watson sucking and the Browns being saddled with his contract. The fact that you think I’d be happy about an injury like Chubb’s says all I need to know about you.
EDIT: thanks for acknowledging the wrong assumption

Since you have Bob on block, I'd advise going back and reading his post that immediately precedes your post here. He admits to misreading your post and should clear up any ill feelings.

For Steelers fans (maybe any fans), this the a great breakdown on the level of suck that is Offensive Coordinator Matt Canada:

Production quality on the video below (also in the article above) is cruddy, but valid points abound; some shocking.

Additionally, when Canada was asked about how to improve, here's his response:
https://steelersdepot.com/2023/09/if...get-mojo-back/Canada when asked how does the offense get its mojo back: "I don’t know. If you have the answer, you can let me know or tell somebody else. When you’re playing good on offense or anything in life that is good, you stack it."
I mean, just fire the guy already and put him out of my misery. Good Lord.

Just when you thought Canada's offense couldn't sink any lower, there was last Sunday... It's physically painful to watch.

Steelers fans are really down on Canada.
Personally I think Vince Lombardi couldn't get that team to win, the personnel is pretty awful. Long time before they are relevant again.
The defense usually keeps them in enough games so that they are an expected 7-9 wins, which puts them with a middling draft pick- they cant rebuild picking mid teens or later every year.
Yea, Pitt has been in this purgatory for years now. Ever since Big Ben entered the decline of his career. Their offense wasn't good enough to carry the team to anything past the wild card round. Their defense was good, but in an offensive league, D doesn't play as well anymore.
I think Pitt errored drafting Harris in the 1st when they needed OLine help. I think they errored in drafting Pickett, drafting the home grown kid when there were serious questions about him.
Pitt was fortunate that they got Big Ben in middle of the 1st round. It allowed them to stay competitive while drafting in the mid to late first round.
Here are some shocking numbers I borrowed from a poster on steelersdepot.com, who in turn grabbed them from a Steelers Facebook forum page (no membership, so I can't link). These are from Canada's tenure as OC:
• The Steelers have more 1st quarter drives that end in turnovers (15) than they do touchdowns (13) since he took over.
• The Steelers average just 4.4 Yards Per Play on 1st down since he took over. Worst in the NFL.
• The Steelers are 1-15 if their opponent scores more than 22 points. Worst in the NFL.
• The Steelers offense is 2nd Worst in the NFL in yards in the 1st quarter since he took over.
• The Steelers offense is 2nd Worst in the NFL in points in the 1st quarter since he took over.
• The Steelers offense has had 26 first half drives this season. Only 1 of those have ended up in the red zone. Worst in the NFL.
• 61% of their drives this season reach 3rd down. Worst in the NFL.
• 55% of their drives result in a 3 and out. Worst in the NFL.
• The Steelers have scored 20 points or less 24 times since Matt Canada took over. Worst in the NFL.
• The Steelers have not had a game with 400 yards on offense since he took over. Every other team in the NFL has at least 4.
• EPA/play this season: Worst in the NFL.
• Dropback success rate: 2nd Worst in the NFL
• Rushing success rate: 3rd Worst in the NFL.
The skill position players are pretty good actually- Dionte Johnson (WR), George Pickens (WR), Pat Friermuth (TE), and Calvin Austin III (WR- first season; a 4.3 burner) at receiver, which is a good group. Harris isn't a great RB and was probably overdrafted, but he's not terrible. Jaylen Warren is a fine change-of-pace/3rd down back.
Now, the O-Line stinks, period. They added players, were supposed to get better this season and finished last year strong, but they're back to just pure awful. That doesn't help Kenny Pickett, but that also does not excuse the fact that he's not making the throws the few times he's been given a somewhat clean pocket.
The defense has its own issues. They're great at Edge, but their ILB staff has been retreads for a while now. Their starting secondary is old and slow, with the exception of Joey Porter Jr., who they won't give starters minutes. With Cam Heyward out, the best interior lineman is probably also a rookie (Benton).
But the stats I led with- that's Matt Canada. He just doesn't have the first clue what he's doing.

And just like that! The Steelers are in 1st place!

1. only time im glad a steelers win is vs the Ravens, good job
2. That has to be the worst NFL game played Ive ever seen. Both teams played terrible.
I'd rephrase to, "The Steelers are in 1st place like that??"
At some point, they have to score more than one offensive touchdown. Glad they finally played Joey Porter Jr. a little more though- and it paid off big time. Yet, I still came out of that game feeling like the Ravens lost it rather than that the Steelers won it. I'd like to stop having that feeling at some point this season.
