Steelers win in overtime!!!!!!

If Watt is done that ends all hope going forward.

Canada’s play calling is awful.

There are enough playmaker on D to keep them in games without him. It's still a huge loss though.

Offense needs to figure out their shit though. Can't have 5 int's every game.

Yep. I think it is more the fact the defense/luck can't win them all. W/O Watt that just means the others need to step up but if that offenses stays like it is then even the playmakers will be worn out by week 8.

Well I stood on this hill last year, and will continue to do so until proven otherwise… Matt Canada is not a good OC

Granted there was a lot of sloppy play to go around, and not just from a playcalling perspective.

Low grade sprain/tear is best case… which is 4-5 week timeline. Rupture or tear & he’s done.

The fact that they are going to wait until Monday gives me hope. If the tear was bad they would need to operate immediately.

Yeah you are right. That may be a good sign

The Malik Reed trade now looks massive... But they are going to need more help now. I was sad they didn't swoop in on Quincy Roche. He cleared waivers & went to NYG's PS, but got elevated today.

Mmmyeah, but he's the cornerstone of the defense, it all essentially starts with what he's able to contribute on the field. Going to be very tough to maintain without him out there

He is abysmal. Not the right fit for the players we have on this offense

DIfferent QB, different year... same old paltry YPA. Now suddenly everyone is changing their tune about thinking it was all Ben's fault

I personally never thought it was ALL Ben's fault, but him being washed up and sucking ass also played a part. Both can be true: ben was done, and canada's offense stinks

Agreed. I'm more speaking to the Canada truthers out there that kept turning a blind eye to his schemes while burying Ben and everything else BUT him.

I was willing to give him another shot after Ben to see what he could bring to the table but its looking like the same old shtick to be honest.

Does Canada have a play action on 1st down inside the 5 yard line? I mean it’s fucking ridiculous that they always try to run the first two downs and get stuffed and then try to throw on 3rd down when the entire stadium knows what the call is, zero imagination and never take advantage of a play action and a pass to the TE….and they have a very good TE that should be utilized……sickening

IIRC Matt Canada is known to be arrogant... It was documented some time ago. Dating back to his college days. He will "die trying" by forcing his offense to work before admitting that it doesn't.
