The Steelers dropped another to the New England Patriots in a poor performance on both sides of the ball. The game had a malaise and the Patriots picked up all the big plays when the Steelers couldn’t.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The chants for Kenny Pickett have already started and Mitch Trubisky had his first bad day as a Steeler. He went 21-33 for 168 yards with a touchdown and a brutal interception. Despite having a great cast of playmakers Matt Canada has kept the offense shackled.<\/p>\n

The defense couldn’t pressure Mac Jones and the front struggled to stop the rush. The Patriots took the air out of the ball and were able to run out the final 6:33 of the game.<\/p>\n

After a great week, the special teams fell back into old issues. Gunner Olszewski muffed a punt and it setup a Patriots touchdown drive. The kickoff coverage team had a terrible day and surrendered over 85 yards.<\/p>\n

Beer We Go Steelers, Beer We Go!<\/p>\n

BEER WE GO STEELERS, BEER WE GO! \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My \u201cGAME BEER\u201d goes to:<\/strong> Not a lot of bright spots, but Myles Jack had double digit tackles for the second week in a row and he has the Steelers attitude you want to see. Also Considered: \u201cLittle Bos\u201d Chris Boswell who hammered both his kicks including a 52 yarder.<\/p>\n

Beer of the Game:<\/strong> Miller Light for me at the West Side Sports Bar and Grill in Saratoga and I had to watch the game on the app, KGB did Bud Light lime, and Dante did A&W Root Beer.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteel the Snacks\u201d: <\/strong>So being out of town for business made this a tough day for me, KGB kicked off the Steel the snacks tradition with New England Clam Chowder and New England Lobster rolls. Everything looked spectacular.<\/p>\n

My Stat of the week:<\/strong> \u00a0Pretty simple, ZERO sacks without T.J. Watt. All the pressure the Steelers showed off week one, looks gone right now without Watt. It is a stark contrast.<\/p>\n

My Thoughts on next week:<\/strong> It is two days from now, so not next week. The Browns are coming off a horrible and embarrassing loss to the Jets. They will be amped up pretty good and looking for revenge. This to me is the litmus test for the Steelers because this will tell us what the Steelers will be this year. I can discount the loss against the Patriots because Belichick seems to have Tomlin\u2019s number. The other huge factor is the Steelers need to find a running game.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s Jersey:<\/strong> This is tricky, I had a jersey ready to go, but because of several factors never got to wear it, going to save it for Thursday night football. I did wear the Beer We Go 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
