Like most losses, there was plenty of blame to go around for the Pittsburgh Steelers dropping their first game of the year. Players didn’t execute well enough. The other team made more big plays. And coaching didn’t always help. It’s important to take all of that into account.
But for this article, I want to focus on the coaching errors the Steelers made Sunday. Stuff I’d put less on the players and more on coaches not putting Pittsburgh in the best positions to succeed. There’s always grey area and interpretation but these are things I’d put around unsound scheme more than anything else.
