That sounds like a callout on Daboll to me. If so, cheers to McDermott.

If a guy on special teams doesn't just up and decide to let a rusher come in unblocked.. we win. If, ifs and buts were candy and nuts then we'd all be having a merry Christmas

I agree that Daboll had a bad game, but it was because they WERE NOT running the offense from last season. He changed it up and it felt like he was trying to prove what a genius he is.. or based on statements from the offseason that he outsmarted himself. He talked a lot about how you have to change or other teams will pick up on it and stop it. That's true, but he made some critical errors in his scheme. Teams learned the Bills won't try to run and if they do, it will be largely ineffective. Like mind boggingly ineffective. So they just sit 7 guys back in coverage. The Steelers line is one of the best in the league, but Daboll should have put a lot more focus on the run game as it's the easiest way to make a team pay for sitting so many guys back in coverage. Instead, he outsmarted himself with his brilliant 5 wide formation.

I have no idea how you thought I said what you think I said

..but no dome...

making the 'easy' plays over and over with few mistakes is a good way to win games.

We'll beat up on teams with lesser defenses. Pittsburgh is one of 3-4 teams in the league can generate that level of pass rush with only 4 guys and Daboll will go right back to believing in his own Genius then when he faces a real defense, it will all crumble again.

What exactly did you want them to do? The cap unexpectedly shrunk a LOT. Please point to the other teams that 'handled' better?

Miami winning and thinking they can pull ahead in the division doesn't seem any better.

They're not, but they can play the same defense that caused the offense to fall apart today. Fast, aggressive, attacking the receivers while keeping a bunch of guys in coverage and still getting pressure.

It doesn't get easier next week. Miami also can pressure with 4 and hang a bunch of people in coverage.

Utter BS. You don't try that kind of crap in the 1st game of the season against a very good defense who is well coached especially when your offense is not in sync. A complete idiot should have known it would go like that. You QB sneak it with a QB who has an amazing track record of getting it. You let the QB throw a short pass with a stable of what is supposed to be the best receiving core in the league. You put in a full heavy set and ram it up there.

I said all offseason they weren't focused on football. Before last season, we heard about how much Diggs, Beasely, Allen, etc were hanging out and tossing the ball around outside of organized activities. They were distracted this year. So hopefully, they get on the same page.

Shame they spent the offseason reading their press clippings and arguing on twitter instead of getting together and building chemistry like they did last year.

This team showed in the offseason they were not committed to winning.

This team was not focused all offseason. It's showing up.

They were worried about a whole lot of non-football sh*t on twitter all off-season.

Official who was right there lets it go...official from across the field throws a flag. You have got to be kidding me.

These refs can't be for real

That's why you don't run that play needing 1 yard in the 1st game of the season against a disciplined, fast defense

Are you f*cking kidding me? Daboll, WTF

maybe a little more focus this offseason would have helped. I said this team did not feel focused.

Amazing how all the rookies on the Steelers line don't hold...

I'm hoping his pre-season is over now.

Steelers defense is also legit. They're allowing no YAC
