Jerome Bettis on Dan Patrick Show is disappointed in Steelers Defense. #Steelers #NFL

Patrick Queen told Jeremy Fowler many defensive players were out of position and there was a lot of miscommunication: “It’s gonna be a hard 10 days for this team. We’re talking to linebacker Patrick Queen. He was just talking about like how they weren’t in the right places. There was miscommunication and in Week 7 for a team that’s supposed to be a divisional leader.” #Steelers #NFL

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says both TJ Watt and Cam Heyward were pissed after the Bengals loss: “I was at locker room last night, and there was a mix of confusion and really anger. Talking to Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt, they were just talking about how unacceptable this performance was. Mainly from a run-defense standpoint. We know that Joe Flacco was getting his yards and Ja’Marr Chase can go off when he does get one-on-one coverage. They want to clean up their matchups on the back end, but they feel like that is only elevated when you can get it done with the run defense. The Steelers have always prided themselves on that.” #Steelers #NFL

Ryan Clark believes the Steelers should make an easier role for Jalen Ramsey: “He is so special, because he is so talented, because he can do so many diverse things from an intellectual standpoint, he might be doing too much. This is a guy that’s played free safety, nickel, dime, and that’s played outside corner. You’re asking a player to move and maneuver into all those roles, and they may have to have an understanding that Jalen Ramsey has to be this thing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And we have to play this way.” #Steelers #NFL

The only thing that looked geriatric on the field last night was the STEELERS DEFENSE.

Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco put on a show in a back-and-forth 2nd half last night 🔥

Got eligibility left?

Steelers aren't the highest paid defense in the NFL. That would be Houston.

𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: Jalen Ramsey wanted all the smoke with Ja’marr Chase in the preseason. This aged horribly 😭😭

Watch Chase here top of screen. Don't think the Packers won't try to see how the Steelers handle this empty 3x2 in Week 8. #Steelers #NFL

Ryan Clark went after Steelers hard for loss to Bengals on ESPN's First Take #Steelers #NFL

The last time Pittsburgh's offense scored 8+ points in the first quarter was Nov. 15, 2020 against the Bengals. 82 games ago! Pittsburgh had 10 points in the '22 opener against the Bengals but Minkah had a pick-six.

Broderick Jones clip getting shown on The Pat McAfee Show today 🤣😂 #Steelers #NFL

Incredible stat from Amazon broadcast. Steelers haven't scored more than 7 points in 56-straight games. Other tidbits. - Tomlin ties Mike McCoy for HC record - Giants ended NFL's 2nd-longest streak (80 games) last week - Week 8 opponent GB hasn't allowed 1st qtr point in 2025

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith ripped on Jalen Ramsey Friday morning: “Didn’t you trade Minkah Fitzpatrick so you could get Jalen Ramsey? Jalen Ramsey was getting exploited throughout the night, multiple times by multiple people. Not just Ja’Marr Chase. What I’m worried about is the reliability associated with Jalen Ramsey. We have to ask, he’s been around for a very long time, he’s done it all. It’s not to say that the brother still can’t play and he can’t still do good things, but is he what he used to be? Because I don’t see last night happening to a younger Jalen Ramsey.” #Steelers #NFL

Bart Scott Friday AM called the Steelers a ‘Soft 4-2’ team: “I mean, we knew that this was a soft 4-2. They should have lost to the Jets. You talk about being outscored in a lot of games that they won or outrushed, outgained they were able to get five turnovers against the Patriots. This just brings them back to the pack.” #Steelers #NFL

Colin Cowherd on Steelers defense vs Bengals: "That game was not only about Flacco. It was about Pittsburgh’s defense. It’s the highest paid in the league once again... it’s atrocious." #Steelers #NFL

Sorry, Mike, but, yes, that does define us. #Steelers #NFL

Took the Bengals just four plays to go 63 yards in their final possession and one of those was just a 2-yard run. First two plays went to Chase for 33 yards, which were ultra easy completions and the most separation he had all game, which really says a lot. #Steelers #NFL

Jerome Bettis to Dan Patrick on the Steelers defense: "Nobody's playing well, let me say that. The back end, they're not playing particularly well. The front seven... they're giving up too much yards in the run game. This is one thing the Steelers never gave up, was 100 yards rushing." #Steelers #NFL

To compound the coverage and schematic problems on defense on Thursday night, the Steelers D had a season-high in missed tackles with 16. #Steelers #NFL

Josh Sweat contract is probably a good gauge for what Herbig's value would be. 4 years/76 million. In terms of what Steelers would offer, who knows. They're not in a rush to make that decision. He's under contract through 2026 w/ tag option.

Uh Oh: Steelers star CB Jalen Ramsey calls out his teammates and himself, saying they have to play better. “We have to play better. It is what it is. Next play. Got to play the game. Got to execute.” 😳😳😳

James Harrison ripped the Steelers D play versus the Bengals on his pod with Joe Haden: “With the 26th, 28th ranked defense, we’re not gonna go nowhere. These offenses we’re gonna face in the next four, five weeks, they ain’t turning the rock over like that. They’re doing things more effective than anybody that we’ve played yet to date. If we come out there playing like we’ve been playing the last six, seven weeks, we’re gonna get the band struck up on us. We’re gonna get embarrassed. They’re gonna dog walk us. Drop your nuts. Put your foot in the ground. Stand for something. We can’t even bust a grape in a fruit fight right now. Right now, we trash. Flacco went out there and pulled a belt out on our ass. Put belt to ass.” #Steelers #NFL

Aaron Rodgers still has a grown man arm!!! #Steelers #NFL
