#SteelersNation who stood out? The passing game. Thought we were going to be a run first team. Nope. I'll take it.

@gerrydulac This is the most embarrassing moment in Pittsburgh sports history. And that's saying something, since the Pirates and all...

[jim bender @jimbender125]

@theMMQB @ConorOrr Nobody in Pittsburgh thinks he's a prize. Except maybe the clowns who have driven this once proud franchise into the train wreck it now is.

#steelers have gone from a perennial powerhouse to the Bad News Bears

[jim bender @jimbender125]

Hate to say it, but we have to start to consider that the reason Matt Canada's offense doesn't include passes anywhere near the middle of the field is that Canada and Tomlin know Pickett can't be trusted to make the throws. #Steelers

[David Todd @DavidMTodd]

It’s almost comical at this point. Didn’t even consider it until what would have been a game-clinching pass to Pickens at the end. #Steelers

[jim bender @jimbender125]

@planetsteelers @DavidMTodd Exactly. Not 1 game where the guy has looked like a capable #1 QB. I rooted for him like everyone else in this town. But midway through his 2nd season, not 1 solid game from whistle to whistle. The sooner we - and Steeler brass -- admit this, the sooner we turn the page.

[jim bender @jimbender125]

Think Canada can get a touchdown here? The first? Late in the 4th quarter? Maybe just one touchdown? Christmas present? #Steelers

[Billy Hartford @CamHeywardFan]

How I slept last night knowing that I won't have to watch the Steelers lose a football game today.

[jim bender @jimbender125]

Sure do but will never happen.

[Nikki Holt @NikkiRaeM]

Steelers need a big time changes during this bye week. #steelers

[Alex Kozora @Alex_Kozora]

The Pittsburgh Steelers officially have the 32nd ranked scoring offense in football. They fall behind the Denver Broncos today.

The Steelers are averaging 15 PPG. #Steelers

[jim bender @jimbender125]

WHY do the Steelers defenders never look for the ball??? #Steelers

[Blitzburgh @Blitz_Burgh]

Matt Canada Three and Out Special.

Run
Run
Throw
Get off the field.

#Steelers #NFL

[Blitzburgh @Blitz_Burgh]

It’s simple. This offense will not do anything until Matt Canada is out of Pittsburgh. #Steelers #NFL

[Blitzburgh @Blitz_Burgh]

Hiring Matt Canada to run his offense was the biggest mistake of Mike Tomlin's career. #Steelers #NFL

[Andrew Fillipponi @ThePoniExpress]

Anonymous Former Steelers quarterback: “To call this a high school offense would be demeaning to high school football.”

[Josh Rowntree @JRown32]

Matt Canada has been the offensive coordinator of the #Steelers for 25 games. They have scored over 20 points in regulation just five times, all last season. @937theFan

[jim bender @jimbender125]

WHAT a pass #Steelers

[jim bender @jimbender125]

NOW they use the middle, behind 6 with two minutes left in the game. Isn't that like, offensive sin #1? #Steelers

[jim bender @jimbender125]

Can't throw a thirty yard pass to a target standing still. Way too much air time for the defense to react. #Steelers

[jim bender @jimbender125]

Unbelievable #Steelers
