After the Pittsburgh Steelers embarrassing 17-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills, critics on social media were out in droves. Probably the biggest targets of the fan’s vitriol are the coaches, especially offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner. Steelers cornerback Steven Nelson was paying attention and took a not-so-subtle shot at the fans who criticized the team’s performance.
Don’t misunderstand, we get where Nelson is coming from. There are parts of the game that no matter how close you watch or how much you know about the game you cannot be privy to unless you are on the sidelines.
Having said that, some of the problems last night were pretty obvious. Are fans supposed to not point out how ridiculous it was to keep going back to the wildcat or the struggles the Steelers defense had in stopping the Bills run game and wide receiver John Brown? Say what you will about coaching from your living room but when fans can see the glaring mistakes a team is making from a distance, just imagine how bad it looks up close.
