Pat was ignored for the majority of the game. He didn’t even earn me fantasy
points

Agreed, we’re middling at the moment. Losing the DPOY certainly has a huge
impact, but the offense needs to get some semblance of continuity or it’s going
to be a very long season.

That was a nice play for sure. But although it certainly isn’t all his
fault, opponents sure are finding it easygoing to run straight through the
middle of the line.
I really hope that Bush rebounds this year but I’m not seeing much thus far.
I don’t know what to make of the season thus far. On the one hand, all of
the games were relatively close. But probably a more accurate assessment is
that they are a blocked extra point away from being 0-3.

Fair assessment, but you've got to admit his stop on the goal line against
Chubb (right?) was a pretty impressive feat of strength! That dude, Chubb,
was running defenders over all night...

I’m not seeing much from Bush, not bad in coverage but pretty terrible
against the run.
And is it too much to ask for a play action pass or two on first down?

So, I'm going to say something here, and people are free to stunt on me
later for saying this:
I liked a lot of what I saw last night and I like where Tomlin has this
team going.
Now, do I think they are making the playoffs? Nah. .500 record? No - the
AFC is too good this year. But I think this team is building it's
foundation to be a monster next year. I think this is going to be like one
of those Cowher years when he went 5-11 or 6-10, and I agree with Tomlin
when he said 'definitively no' when asked if he's going to make changes.
- The offense has gotten better in each of the games it's played. That
first half was awesome - they converted long drives twice, ran the ball
effectively, spread the ball around, and were generally effective.
- Despite the Browns oline being portrayed as God-like, the D without Watt
got consistent pressure, and honestly is still waaay better against the
run than expected. They got pressure even though they ran a lot of 3-3-5.
- Le'al is going to be a monster. Bush is definitely improved. Jack is a
huge addition. Add a Ike Taylor level corner to this defense through the
draft next year and watch out.
- The oline, coming into the year considered a gigantic liability, was
good last night. How much did we hear from Miles Garrett?
- Yeah, Mitch needs to go, and it will happen at some point this year. But
give Kenny the Mahomes treatment and let him sit for as long as you can.
- Pickens is a hybrid of OBJ and Antonio Brown. Assuming his head stays
screwed on right, he'll be WR1 for 10 years. DJ and his drops (he had 2
last night) can explore free agency in a couple of years.
- The run game is getting better. Warren is a great change of pace back to
Harris.
None of this is good enough for this year, but I like where this is going.
I like the plan. I think this year is going to be tough to watch, but I
think they are going to turn this around.
Flame away. :)
