·42 min·4 clips

Why is DK Metcalf, the Steelers' $30 million receiver, barely getting targeted while Aaron Rodgers looks lost?

The episode opens with a humorous technical glitch before the hosts dive into a post-game analysis of the Steelers' 3-2 loss to the Chargers. They start by expressing frustration over DK Metcalf's lack of targets despite his $30 million contract, noting he was targeted only seven times. Aaron Rodgers' performance is heavily criticized, with hosts describing him as "a deer in the headlights" and questioning his decision-making and happy feet in the pocket. The offensive line's inability to protect Rodgers is highlighted as a key issue. The discussion shifts to the team's overall offensive struggles, including a 1-for-11 third-down efficiency and poor time of possession, with the Steelers having controlled the clock in only one game this season. Hosts point out the defense's inconsistencies, such as allowing backup running back Isaiah Spiller to gain 95 yards. They analyze specific game moments, like missed opportunities to Pat Freiermuth and overthrown passes. Criticism extends to head coach Mike Tomlin, with hosts debating his job security and linking him to the team's 0-3 primetime record this year. The upcoming schedule is scrutinized, noting games against the Bengals, Bears, Bills, and Ravens. Side topics include Chris Collinsworth's on-air mistakes, the team's safety roster changes, and Aaron Rodgers' sideline behavior without a tablet. The episode concludes with a mix of pessimism and dark humor, referencing the team's reliance on CBS broadcasts for wins and joking about Snoop Dogg's presence at losses.
