There is clearly something wrong with the Pittsburgh Steelers offense. After another dismal loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, 35-13, frustrations are high.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin didn’t even want to answer questions after the loss that dropped the team to 2-6 on year but Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett had plenty to say.
Pickett basically said it was time for a change.
“It’s insane to keep doing the same things over and over and expect something different.”
Pickett also called out his teammates for not studying the game plan enough.
“I don’t think we study enough as a group.”
The Steelers’ issues can be traced back to offensive coordinator Matt Canada. Canada is not getting it done as the OC and Tomlin doesn’t appear to plan on changing that anytime soon.
Tomlin not wanting to answer questions after the loss does not change the fact that his team right now is one of the worst in the NFL and you have to wonder if Steelers management will make a change if Tomlin doesn’t.
You also have to wonder if Tomlin’s loyalty is costing his team victories. He started the year with Mitchell Trubisky as his starting quarterback before finally seeing the light and starting Pickett who looked good during the pre-season.
The Steelers have had to deal with injuries to running back Najee Harris and a few other issues, but the issues on offense seem to begin and end with Matt Canada.
