lost to the New York. Jets, despite leading by 10 points.
In the fourth quarter. They did get a spark from Kenny pick who
became
the first quarterback in the entire history of the National
Football League to have two rushing touchdowns in his first
regular season game. Can he pick it? Has that going for
him? But he doesn't have the victory because the Jets pulled
the rabbit out of their butts
to win that game. But now came the news on Monday and
I'm sure we'll hear more about it all day today.
Can he pick it? I'm taking over
from its true bisque is the starting quarterback and look
it's a no-brainer. It's easy to go from the veteran to
the first round rookie.
Once you have the first round rookie under Center,
you can't start pulling them in and out of the lineup, you
gotta let him play. That's why you drafted him, he's your
quarterback. Now, he's the guy
and they go forward and they see what they have with Kenny
Pickett Chris. Yeah, exactly. Right. I mean, he gives a spark
to the football team. The team is there's obviously a lack of
belief in Mitchell Chbosky. And what he's done, we heard the MU
murmurs over the last
You weeks about in other receivers thinking that there
may be a little more open than they should be the frustrations
and the Pittsburgh media
yet your Biscay, not aggressive enough,
you know? Again, I don't know if it's going to look a lot
better but you might as well just like who cares. You're
a one and three football, team that's nose. Showed no signs of
moving moving. The football are being consistent that way
and pick it. It shows that he's game, ready.
I mean, yeah, he made some mistakes in the game, it's not
easy to be thrown into a game. You know why? Everybody's Going
and that therefore games in the season and hey you got to,
you know, get on the moving car here and then function like
you've been planning all along. It was not an easy situation,
but he looked very good. I mean, calm, cool, controlled
made. Some great throws Under Pressure,
made a few throw up. You know, big throws to move the ball
down the football field. But unfortunately made then, oh,
especially that second interception. A rookie mistake
that gave the Jets one more chance to
have a chance to come back in the football game and Zach both.
Did a great job of taking advantage of that.
Yeah, and it really is amazing. How the Jets pulled it off. But
pick it did enough that he should be the guy because true
Biscay didn't do enough to keep the job. No, true. Biscay
ultimately needed to win games
and you've got deante Johnson, Steelers. Receiver who said
after the game, it's a rebuilding year for
the Steelers. I don't think they entered the year regarding it
as a rebuilding year. I remember Peter King, his
training camp tour
talking to Mike Tomlin. And
Peter kind of made that point and
tomlin's attitude was bring it on and I don't expect Tom, and
to back down from any fight. But
Even if you don't back down from a fight, sometimes you
lose the fight. And here they are at 1 and 3
and they've got bills bucks. Dolphins Eagles. And then their
bye week
and they can be 2 + 6 or 1 in 7 days are going to be
the underdogs in each of those four games, maybe they can pick off
the Dolphins. If the to of stuff is still lingering and
they're not getting it done with Teddy Bridgewater, you're
gonna have a hell of time with the Eagles
are going to have a hell of time with the bills who they
upset last year in week 1. So the bills are going to be
ready, you're not going to catch.
I'm unaware. This time.
The Buccaneers are going to be desperate for a win and they're
a better team across the board. This is this is New Territory
for the Steelers, under Mike, Tomlin to have a team that is
overmatched
waiting for TJ W to come back. There Owens 7, without TJ W all
time.
And the idea that they could go into their bye week, on
a seven-game losing streak, I haven't looked it up yet.
I have a feeling, it's been a long time
since the Steelers have lost seven games in a row.
Well, it doesn't look good. I mean, they got issues. There's
no doubt. About that. And, you know, even there where,
you know, I know they had 10 points and that football are 10
point lead in that football game last weekend. Like, at no
point, did I watch that game and go? Oh, they're clearly
the better team on the field. Let's not forget the Jets did a
lot of dumb crap to
to let them have the lead or the Jets were in control of
the football game, really for the first half and then down there
and feel gold territory. Zach Wilson shows him, his
immaturity, throws a dumb interception when they're in
field-goal territory,
maybe they can get more Points.
You know, they get an unnecessary roughness, call on
the Hail Mary that true Biscay through into the end zone and
then they get to kick a field goal and get points of order
half. So,
you know, yes, you know to your point Mike. I mean, it's
struggles a little in Pittsburgh and I don't see how
it really turns around, and I kind of agree with what deante
Johnson is talking about it. Say it is a semi rebuild. We
know they're going to fight and play hard, but damn, they can't
run the ball, they don't protect that
well, in the pass game
and their defense.
This is not like what we've been accustomed to with
the Steelers and Mike Tomlin. It's solid. We know they're
opportunistic, they're going to make some plays but they're not
dominant.
We saw a Zach Wilson, pick them apart. We've seen teams run on
them. You can kind of do whatever you want against
Pittsburgh. So I expect the losing to continue. I don't
think it's going to turn around. I think it's going to
be an ugly here in
Pittsburgh.
Yeah and look I I got that one. Wrong pasta and meatballs.
I thought they'd find a way to pull it together. Now the TJ W
injury did
change everything.
Is right? But when you have that much of the team focused
on one guy,
maybe you need some more around him and it's just the total
team effort that they need to win these games. Where they
aren't the better team?
You still need two pieces there to make it happen but who
knows? Maybe Kenny pick, it will take them up to Buffalo
and they'll, they'll beat the bills and then we'll be
feeling very differently about the Steelers. Come next week.
