No.

It's content clearly crafted, packaged & targeted to people, like yourself, Dub & whomever else shared or liked that stupid shit; specifically to engineer reaction.

Reaction ranging from the smallest internalization and confirmation of prejudice, all the way to "see, I told you *insert stereotype here* FAFO".

You're being sloooooowy, carefully and systematically conditioned by these clips. A fair amount of them by sources outside of the U.S.

You anyone else reading, need to ask the most important question - "why?"

Yet those 2 helped a team win the division and make the playoffs.

I won’t do a position by position breakdown but the Steelers lacked high-level talent at QB, WR2, especially WR3, and RB.

Caveats: a) Warren is talented but probably best suited as a team’s RB2 in today’s committee-focused NFL. b). Gainwell had a very good season. He is a reason to be excited for the Smith hire. That being said, he was RB3 and RB4 in Philly even before Barkley. c) DK is talented but no one has accused him of being a good route runner, leader, etc. and he needs a side kick to achieve high-level production. Teams took him away for long stretches because of these factors.

Steelers were bad offensively and I give Tomlin credit for eeking out a few wins he shouldn’t have. Bad offensively IMO due to talent and so the playcalling leaned safe to maximize wins of scoreboard.

This is a late gripe

I was on 70 in the fall, driving in my lane and going the speed limit. Dude in front of me slams on the brakes because he missed his exit. I got rear-ended. Dude drove off into the sunset like he didn't even know what happened. But I know he did.. he ended up passing the exit. I'll see you in hell motherfucker

What’s worse.

Having excuses for when he didn’t do well?

Or ignoring his offenses when they were good?

Can’t do both man. You can’t say “you’re making excuses!” And then say “well the stats aren’t telling the story”

It’s probably somewhere in the middle. When Arthur has good players he does well it seems. When he doesn’t have good players he doesn’t do well. Here at OSU he’s going to have the best players so I bet he’ll do great.

If I’m being a bit harsh/fair to the dissecting the 2025 Buckeye offense - I think the season looks a lot different if they simply had a QB that could see and throw in the middle of the field.

I don’t know if it’s height, vision, design, training wheels, processing speed, coaching safe, or nerves, but Sayin had inexcusable misses - primarily to Inniss but that one to Klare on the Miami 2nd quarter drive will haunt me. Those open throws make the OL look slightly better.

I don’t think Sayin was quite good enough - which is fine, he was a freshman. But that late in the year, I was expecting more advancement. Again, being a bit harsh but you get high expectations at OSU. Those misses throughout the year and the last 2 games can’t happen.

Kid has zero problems with arm talent (velocity, touch, accuracy) but he has to make the leap in commanding the whole field. Very confident Day will help him and we’re staring down greatness.

This and a veteran OL should make an elite offense again (Arthur Smith or not lol).
