Took Mike McCarthy 6 weeks of regular-season football to have the worst game management I've ever seen from the Steelers in my lifetime.

[Daniel Valente @StatsGuyDaniel]

Some of the decisions this Steelers' front office has made in terms of which contracts they handed out, acquired or declined to pay are perplexing.

Especially in the WR & CB room, very questionable asset management & pro-level player evaluation when it comes to bringing in vets.

[Daniel Valente @StatsGuyDaniel]

The funniest part about the Joey Porter Jr. trade is there’s an above 0% chance the team uses a decent draft pick & takes a swing on a CB again in the next two years with the hopes he can be as good as Porter.

[Daniel Valente @StatsGuyDaniel]

What a giant fumble by the Steelers & Omar Khan. Pittsburgh asked for a good man cover CB1 for a decade, got one in Joey Porter Jr. & then couldn’t find a way to keep him because of prehistoric franchise rules. Steelers are worse today in the present & short-term future.

DK Metcalf couldn’t catch a cold right now.

@justinboone Sorry for your loss, Boone.

T.J. Watt in Week 1 vs. Falcons
- 3 TFL
- 2 sacks
- 1 INT
- 1 TD

Reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

Mason Rudolph on that 3rd and goal

Still feels weird not seeing Mike Tomlin in Steelers gear

[SleeperNFL @SleeperNFL]

Mike Tomlin on TV!

@AdamSchefter how many times can one person update a tweet?

[Daniel Valente @StatsGuyDaniel]

This feels like the type of draft that either ends up being incredible or god awful. No in-between.

A perfect pick for the Steelers

[Daniel Valente @StatsGuyDaniel]

The Steelers QB room now consists of yesterday's hopium (Mason Rudolph), today's hopium (Will Howard) and tomorrow's hopium (Drew Allar) 😭

@Ross_McCorkle 😭😭😭😭

[Daniel Valente @StatsGuyDaniel]

There is nothing I want more right now than the Steelers war room reaction video when Makai Lemon asked Omar Khan on the phone why Philly was calling him.

[Daniel Valente @StatsGuyDaniel]

The Steelers are the only team that can get little brothered in their own city

[Ross McCorkle @Ross_McCorkle]

Here is the moment Makai Lemon thought he was getting drafted by #Steelers and realizing in real time that the #Eagles traded up, via @gmfb this morning.

He asked Omar Khan "Why is Philly calling [me]?"

[Daniel Valente @StatsGuyDaniel]

Steelers had their guy and let their in-state rival snatch him from their grasp in front of their home fans tonight.

Sums up the state of the franchise. Too busy standing still while the best teams in the league leave them in the dust.

[Daniel Valente @StatsGuyDaniel]

How do you let this happen on your home turf

From the NFL Draft: A wild story, as the #Eagles trade up for Makai Lemon... while he was on the phone with the #Steelers.
