Rodgers could get down now that the coverage can't only gameplan Garrett Wilson, and Breece Hall is running thru big holes like those.
Pitt D was supposed to be pretty damn strong eh?

The problem with Russ is that he isn't good pre snap, he is bad and easily fooled in today's game.

So all has now is street ball if his first read isn't 10 yards open.
Which exposes his other problems like being slower and can't throw over the middle.
So now you get bad scrambles and dump offs mixed with a missed timing route because he never plays on time, Never.

I do think Russ did about the best he could

Russ's statline is a bit misleading though, there is a lot of bad film and luck
Those balls get picked against many DBs

He was good enough under pressure, dumped off for 3 big run after catch long plays

Looks like they play the giants so they will likely reach 6 wins, interesting

I really think the D was overhyped and now is very shallow on defense
That is a bad problem to have
I didn’t pay attention to any hype, but Selah had an impact on D.

He took over the 25th ranked team in total defense in 2021and had them ranked 4th by 2022. They finished last season ranked 3rd.

They gave up 18 points per game in 22’ and 20 per game in 24.’

And tonight they gave up 37 points to one of the most one dimensional offenses in football.

He knew what he was doing.

Fair enough, that is true

Russ throwing 50/50s can go both ways as we know
I expect him to go on a turnover run to lose a game or two if he lasts

I don't think they should have ditched Saleh, no upgrade of a replacement so no benefit
GM was just all pissed and humiliated IMO and probably lost a few wins off this season
