Russell Wilson to blame for Steelers' losses? Shannon says don't place it all on him 🗣️ | First Take

[@RavensFlock9592]

As a Ravens fan I know just because the Steelers have been losing doesn’t mean you can overlook them. The Ravens need to take care of business just like they did in week 16. Take them seriously because they will bring their best shot.

Thanks, Shannon, for not blaming Russell on this! I agreed 100% Well Said. Russell gets blame for EVERYTHING!!! If the WR's fall down on their route, its Russell Fault. 🤦‍♀

[@blisshyatt6350]

Just like Tomlin huh? Gets all the credit but none of the blame. Baltimore and Cincinnati was almost entirely on him. And if we would have went 2-2 at the end of the season no one would even be saying a thing and we'd probably be a lot more confident going in

[@MmaMadman85]

Thank you Shannon for holding George Pickens responsible, but to be fair Antonio Brown was a model WR for us before the cheap shot. That hit from Vontaze Burfict changed that man entirely.

[@christopherharrison2987]

That hit changed him for sure, but the AB we saw at the end was really a metastasized version of who he was the moment he became famous.

[@Shanycole]

Thank you for stating the facts. Yes Russell has not played his best the last four games but he is not the number one, the number two the number three the number four problem with Pittsburgh. They have a lot of holes to fix. He is not to blame for everything.

[@jessicaadaora9109]

He is, because from august we knew the O line wasn’t good, Russell isn’t a mobile QB, so his immobility makes it worse, he also isn’t very tall, and without GP and the deep ball he can’t make intermediate throws very well and isn’t mobile which is how he combatted that when he was younger, he also being in mobile has made the run game worse and without the threat of the deep ball both the pass game and run game has suffered. Those are all his characteristics/fault, against bad teams or teams not playing well that’s ok, you can’t win with these deficiencies against the good teams. He already doesn’t have and never had a good supporting cast, and honestly probably never will, just not how Pittsburgh builds their teams lately, so he is always going to have to do more with less, and he can’t. So that kinda makes it his fault.

Bo Nix steps in, they are headed to the playoffs and Nix only took 24 sacks in 17 games. Not to mention, the steelers won 10 games last year with the QB play. Did you also say Kenny did a lot more with less?

[@greggorsag9787]

Steelers’ O-line reminds me of when we played tackle as kids and there weren’t enough kids to block. You would just stand there lookin’ at the QB and you were supposed to count to “5 Mississippi” and then rush. Of course, in the end you just kinda’ slurred out “5 Missippi” and rushed.

[@C2Poke]

Stop it. You’re making a false comparison to imply racial bias. Burrows has multiple elite weapons to throw to. Wilson doesn’t have any elite weapons on offense at all. So Burrows should definitely do more to help his team win because the front office has prioritized gifting him with weapons to maximize his talent.

Saturday and Sharpe get it. They are 100% correct. Btw, Patrick Mahomes now has two young 1st round picks in Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown playing receiver for him, plus a still productive DeAndre Hopkins, PLUS one of the greatest tight ends of all time in Travis Kelce. Mahomes was struggling mightily when Brown was out and they hadn't yet gone out and gotten Hopkins. Through six weeks he had thrown 6 TDs and 8 INTs, and yet the Chiefs were 6-0, because the defense was playing lights out. I'm not 100% convinced the Steelers conservative, vanilla game plan against the Bengals wasn't at least partly motivated by a lack of concern over the result once the Ravens locked up the division earlier that day. I suspect they may have decided they would rather put less on film for their playoff opponent then empty the playbook trying to win a game that at best was going to decide whether they go to Houston or Baltimore. Baltimore is a short trip from Pittsburgh, and Zay Flowers got hurt earlier in the day, so Tomlin may not have been particularly worried about drawing the Ravens in the wild card round.

As a die-hard Pittsburgh Steeler fan, Mike Tomlin and the coaching staff have to clean this up. From Plaxico Burress back in the day to Antonio Brown, Chase Claypool and now George Pickens. This situation with Pickens could ultimately be what gets Mike Tomlin fired. As for the current situation Russell is not totally the blame because if it wasn't for him giving our offense a spark this offense would probably be abysmal. I know George Pickens is a head case, but we're just not that good at receiver without him. I don't understand why they didn't utilize Freiermuth in the offense more. Calvin Austin can be somewhat of a deep threat but he's very small in stature. Mike Williams has some ability but he's not fully developed and Van Jefferson is simply nothing more than a third receiver at best. I love the fact that we're facing Baltimore on Saturday because you know there is no love lost between us.

Oh Stephen - Russ put 400 yards on these people just a couple of weeks ago, but for some reason the coaches decided on a different game plan for the second game. Russ is just fine. Pickens dropped 75% or so of his passes, the ball sailed through Austin's hands, and Freiermuth had a drop - all at very inopportune times. And as Unc noted, the left tackle was getting hammered - and the coaches didn't do anything to help. Wilson can't do anything when that's happening.

Stephan A would be correct if we were talking future. Or even the regular season. But here we’re talking playoffs. You can draw all the Jayden/Lamar comparisons you want but you cannot use Lamar as an example of “trust” when it comes to the playoffs.

That is true; the Steelers have a knack for finding talent at the WR position. But how much of that can be attributed to their willingness to take on players with character issues? Not all teams will do that, so they "pass" on draft day. High risk, high reward.

Excuse YOU Shannon. That is Dan Moore Jr at LT. The modern day Joe Thomas. He is so good at LT that we cannot take him out of the starting lineup despite drafting 2 Tackles in the first round the past 2 years (Even before injury to Fatanu, first team reps ALL Offseason so no your wrong if you try to correct me). And it is Mike The Great Motivator Tomlin who has cristened him as his franchise LT. Nothing can be done to help him because if he is being overrun then nothing can be done in general. These are just straight up facts from the head coaches mind.

How can Russell carry a team where they need to go if you have to surround him with the pieces? That would mean he’s just along for the ride. Russ gets so many passes and I don’t get it

[@mindovermatter56]

Exactly

[@Breezeway1970]

Your audio probably wasn’t working when Shannon and Saturday were speaking. No QB is carrying their team without help except maybe Allen, Lamar and Mahomes. Even Mahomes looked avg when his WRs were dropping passes and the line wasn’t blocking

[@cambell-yi2gh]

They have some pieces. Just need a secondary and a left tackle lol.

[@SevenSixtyMedia]

Rusty Wilson is 51% of the issue

[@RheemQ]

More like 30. I can tell you people don't watch these games because if you put more than 40% of the blame on Russ I don't know why even debate sports. I don't understand you people. If you don't watch the games stop debating. Because if you did watch you'd see it was the defense and receivers dropping his passes more than it being his fault. Not to mention their OC always trying to pound the ball with run game when they don't have the RB quality to do that instead of using more of the TE's like Washington and Pat when Pickens is dropping passes like last game.

[@marcuswilliams173]

More like 60%

[@SevenSixtyMedia]

@ it’s all the above but Wilson is not the answer

[@RheemQ]

@SevenSixtyMedia I never said Wilson is the answer. I said he's not the majority of the problem but you people keep trying to make it like he's the main problem. This team has multiple problems. I actually Watt would pull a Reggie White and go to a better team before his best years are behind Jim because he's on the equivalent of the 80's Eagles. A team that's good to make the playoffs but never win anything. He should go to a team like Baltimore, Buffalo, Detroit, or Philadelphia. He's wasting his time. I actually hope the Steelers don't resign Russ because I want him to go to another team and let Fielrs be their future and give them what they asking for. A QB who is injury prone behind a horrible offensive line with no weapons who will never win them anything. Russ is getting blamed for flaws this team had before he got here but he's conveniently the new scapegoat because it was Tomlin for years. And when they're both gone they'll find another scapegoat in Fields. The Steelers fanbase are a bunch of crybabies. They're the only the team that cries over contending every year when Carolina, Las Vegas, Tennessee, or Cleveland would love to be in their right now.

[@SevenSixtyMedia]

@ I’m telling you he’s not the answer that’s all

[@That63Center]

I've said it for years the Browns worst decision was letting Baker go.

[@reekybaby5223]

Steelers season was shot the moment the benched fields 🤷🏾‍♂️🥱

[@kylem6370]

@reekybaby55223 completely right. They said they benched Fields cause he wasn’t scoring enough TD’s, even though he was extending drives and moving the ball and getting points and not turning it over. Russ comes in and doesn’t look any better, if he throws for 200 yards that’s a lot. Fields would get you that plus 50+ on the ground, and he can extend plays with his legs. Russ turns it over to much, can’t extend plays, and can’t put the ball in the end zone. His best win is the ravens where they scored 0 TD’s.. but they beat the jets, giants, browns and bengals once. Lost to the Browns and bengals once and got destroyed by the ravens, eagles, and chiefs.. look at who Fields beat he won against Atlanta week 1, well before Cousins fell off, Broncos, and Chargers.. both of them playoff teams with great defenses. Crazy they don’t wanna say it’s Russ why they losing now, they act like Steelers haven’t had the same starting LT all year and that Pickens wasn’t throwing a tantrum on the field since the beginning of the season about his targets. They wanna blame everyone but Russ, crazy how Denver cut him and ate $80 mill in dead cap and got rid of Jerry Juedy who everyone said was bad cause of his #’s he put up with Russ. Then Denver with a lesser roster and rookie QB who was the 6th QB off the draft board make the playoffs and looks a lot better than Russ did, even without having Juedy, who oh by the way was a top 10 WR this season in yards. Seattle got rid of him and became better, broncos got rid of him and became better, Steelers were winning vs good opponents with Fields and made the switch and can’t even compete against playoff teams.. people need to stop defending Russ and call it how it is. Fields was playing good and they said it wasn’t good enough, Russ is playing bad and they catering him saying it’s everyone else.

so funny that carolina had both baker and darnold in their qb room and let them walk

[@chiefgangmusic]

Funny when Pickens was dropping passes from Justin Fields, it was all on Justin Fields. But now it’s “we can’t blame Russ”. Funny when Justin Fields failed to not score 20 pts in only two of his six starts, SAS and a lot of other MFs were whining about the offense and only scoring FGs. And that was even with Justin Fields being 4-2 and having the Steelers in first place. But now that the Steelers has become the worst redzone offense in all of the NFL and has now lost four in a row while failing to score 20 pts in 6 (SIX)(SEIS) of their last 8 (EIGHT)(OCHO) games, it’s “we can’t blame Russ”. Dam I guess everything is Pickens fault now. That’s a daaam shame.

[@juiceloose2462]

[@chiefgangmusic]

@ Naw bro I can care less. I’m just a fan of keeping that same energy. They ain’t got to change QBs, but they could at least acknowledge the fact that the offense is as. HeII as much as they were whining those first six weeks, you’d think they’d be whining even louder now that the offense has been significantly worse. That’s all I’m saying. I ain’t here on no “I told you so” type shjt. I’m just not letting those excuses skate. Stand on business! If you gone be about something then be about it. Don’t be putting the goalpost in no U-Haul truck and acting like we ain’t seeing that shjt.
