Steelers vs. Chiefs Week 2: Knee Jerk Reactions from the Steelers defense-less loss to the Chiefs Vince Neil of M枚tley Cr眉e claimed to be a dreamer with a heart of gold that had to run away high so he didn’t come home low. But I think he was at his most poignant when he sang...”Im on my way. I’m on my way. Home T. J. Watt Jersey , Sweet, Home. As Week One’s tie flummoxed those in Steelers Nation, I was feeling cautiously optimistic leading up to what I presumed to be a fireworks show at Heinz Field. So if you want to know how my emotions fluctuated throughout the day, keep on reading.Nonetheless, a simple reminder, a knee jerk reaction is an immediate and unthinking Jerome Bettis Jersey White , emotional reaction. It’s basically shooting first and apologizing later. I can safely say that’s a true definition of your’s truly and a good lot of Steeler Nation. Here’s my real-time reactions during the Steelers battle with Andy Reid and the KC Chiefs.1st QuarterJim Furyk back home leading the Terrible Towel wave. Cool.It’s amazing. Kind of knew that Ben would go deep to Washington on the first play. If fans and media complain thet somebody needs to get involved, they typically do it right away. Kind of predictable.Mahomes has poise on the pocket. Conley, against the zone, was wide open. Team just honored Billy Hillgrove for 25 years in the booth. Great ovation.It’s early, but Ben looks way off again.The crowd has completely given up on Berry. The boos were deafening.They left Watkins and Kelce all alone. Steelers need to score on this drive. If not we are witnessing the beginning of the end.Washington is in there a lot.AB was open. Ben just plum missed him.Conner with the spinaroonie in the open field.Welcome back Tony Toe Tap.Can’t settle for three.Can’t even get three. Ouch. Gonna be a long drive home.Leave it to the Steelers to make Sammy Watkins look like a superstar.Edmunds plain blew that stop. Gotta tackle.Mahomes is for real.They got lucky there on the hold. People are leaving.If they don’t do something soon, I’m going to have to drown my sorrows at the Pierogie House.Quarter 2Jesse James was wide open. Nice.Nice look from Ben too.Crowd is back in a big way.Dude next to me snubbed me on the high five. I’m dejected.Offense can’t let up. Need to cut it to seven.Switz can add a really good dimension to this team.Was that s Big Dan sighting? He does exist.That was a perfect drive.Bos(not-so)well. What in the name of Kris Johnson is going on?Jeff Hartman and I picked James as a sleeper to have a huge game.James Wow-shington.This place is electric now.Quarter 3What a great half. But can’t revert back to Q1.Reverting back.Missed assignment. Watt can’t be covering guys deep.This defense couldn’t stop up a toilet.AB and JuJu may very well be the best receiving duo in the NFL.Ben is overthrowing these guys. They’re getting separation.Got lucky on the pass interference.Why is AB having a tantrum?Little surprised. Thought No. 30 was short.This will get reversed.I can’t believe they let Ridley play .Quarter 4Six TDS are ridiculous. This defense is undisciplined.Lucky bounce to be at the one.Gotta bring it. Need the safety.Just got hot sauce in my eye. Crap! My eyes are like the Steeler secondary. Burned.Really brought it on the safety. Huge.Gotta take advantage now. No TD here and it is over.Another penalty on Vance. C’mon man. Crowd is mad. But tough to go for it with 9:16 left.Here we go. Need seven and luck.JJ and JuJu. Clutch.Vintage Ben. I can’t take this. Wow. Needed a three and out. That first down killed them.Well. That sucked. ...So...now as I replay the game more and more in my head James Conner Jersey White , my perceptions will alter. But for now, you just got a glimpse of the first thoughts that popped in my mind while I was watching this game. Feel free to get your commentus maximus on in the comment section. There are many things Steelers fans like to complain about. The defense. Play selection. Slow starts. The coaches are also often targets of such complaints. Specifically, Mike Tomlin has taken fire for struggling coming out of a bye. But do the numbers back up the claim?Coming off of the bye week, the Steelers under Coach Tomlin have a record of 7-4. A winning percentage of 0.636 does not scream of ineptitude. In fact, Mike Tomlin‘s regular-season record is 119–62–1, which gives a winning percentage of 0.657. If using this same winning percentage over an 11-game sample Womens Jerome Bettis Jersey , what would be the predicted record?It would be 7-4.In other words, Mike’s Tomlin‘s record coming out of the bye is no different from his regular season record. It is exactly what one would expect it to be. It’s almost as if the post bye week games aren’t any different from any other regular season games. Not every coach can be like Andy Reid and his unprecedented 16–3 record after a regular season bye. Even the great Bill Belichick’s record off the bye is in line with his record. While in New England, Coach Belichick has a regular season record of 219-76. Applying this win percentage of 0.742, the prediction of Belichick‘s record coming out of the bye week would be 13-5, which is exactly what it is. For comparison sake, Mike Tomlin has a much better win percentage after the bye then his predecessor. Bill Cowher’s record coming out of the bye was 9-7. This record is skewed ever so slightly because of the 1993 season when teams were given two byes. The Steelers won both games following their bye week in Week 5 and Week 9. It is much safer to say that Coach Cowher’s win percentage out of the bye of 0.563 is noticeably less than his career regular-season win percentage of 0.623.So why do some Steeler fans insist that the Steelers are not successful after the bye week? It could be because of recent history. Of the last four seasons Jerome Bettis Jersey , the Steelers have lost following the bye three times. Before last year‘s five-game winning streak following their Week 9 bye, the Steelers had lost games for three straight seasons after their week off. But as quickly as we are to remember this losing streak, the five straight seasons of picking up a win after the bye week from 2008 to 2013 seem to have been forgotten.Of the four games the Steelers have lost coming out of the bye under Mike Tomlin, three of them have been by one score. 2015. Even this game was a one score game until Seattle added another touchdown with 2:01 left in the game.One last important piece of information: every season a Mike Tomlin coached Steelers team has lost coming out of the bye, the team has gone on to make the playoffs. That’s correct- every season. In 2007, 2014 James Conner Jersey , 2015, and 2016, the Steelers recovered from the loss to still reach the postseason. If the Steelers manage to pick up the win against the Browns at Heinz Field this Sunday, Mike Tomlin will have twice as many victories coming out of the bye than losses. With the numbers not matching the narrative, fans who feel the need to complain about something will have to quickly move on to the next grumbling point.
