Mocking large nfl coaches isn’t exactly new. See: Mike McCarthy.

What a dreadful game. They are awful at scheduling prime time games.

How many more times do we have to see the Jets and Giants in primetime? Better than Bears and Broncos... I guess...

The Jets with Roders might have been more watchable. As is the team has played hard in those games besting what looks like a really good Bill's team, and giving the Chiefs everything they could handle. The Giants...well they are a mess, and two weeks from now we get to watch Buffalo beat them by 40 on Sunday night...maybe 50.

It's always going to be this way as no matter how bad the Giants are, they are going to get their primetime games because of the market. We all got to see the decline of Eli Manning in our living rooms like it was a local team just as we have got to witness the career of Jones. These games are a lot better if you set your expectations on how bad the Giants can get as I can't be the only person that was cheering on the sacks in hopes of witnessing an NFL record broken.

Lol. So it sounds like Matt Canada may have created a burner account on twitter to defend himself and criticize his players and coaching staff. He also used his Steelers email account on signup.

Looks like the Besrs trading the first pick of found 2 for Chase Claypool has paid off. 2nd straight week that he's inactive again this week and Bears are trying to get anything for him.

Red flags when he couldn't mesh with the notoriously player friendly Tomlin and Steelers last year. Antonio Brown was good until he got out from under the Steelers blanket. Roethlesberger and Joey Porter back in the day too were well protected.

Sounds like he's got a high opinion of himself after one good season and probably enabled by others around him, but for as quickly as the NFL machine can make you a rookie sensation, they can also knock you down just as quick.
Just becuase the Bears are dysfunctional doesn't mean they should throw the ball to you everytime, and with you not getting targeted every down doesn't mean you are under utilized and throw a hissy fit enough to get told/suggest yourself to stay away from the team.

The worst part of this Matt Canada stuff is the name association of Canada and his incompetence. Even if not true you just get the feeling that his tenure is coming close to the end.

well it should have ended a long, long time ago ... this is on Tomlin and his damn loyalty. They are pretty much wasting a season and they are too proud to make a change mid season.

I suppose his loyalty is an extension of the organization as there's only been three different Steelers head coaches in my lifetime which is crazy. I suppose it shows that they have done very well at hiring head coaches and that they stick with them and avoid knee jerk reactions. That said their offense hasn't been good for a while now and it's probably time for a change there.

I quite like the loyalty at the HC position, but as for the coordinators, it needs to be earned. Tomlin is loyal for the sake of being loyal. It speaks volumes that he's been in charge for 17 years, yet has nothing even close to a coaching tree. No one's coming for the dudes he so happily hangs on to.

The offense is a mess, but it doesn't need to be. They are excellent at drafting and developing receivers. Fixing the OL has been a slow process, but there's some talent. They do have good young players at the skill positions (Pickens, Johnson, Freiermuth, Harris, Warren etc). I don't see it with Pickett, but he might do better with a somewhat competent OC. Keeping Canada was a brainfart of massive proportions, and everybody knew it. That's the frustrating part.

Another underachieving Charger, not surprising. I really wish they would get rid of Bosa, so overrated and always hurt.
