Well, in classic Pittsburgh Steelers fashion, the trap game took shape early, and the team suffered its first loss of the season in Week 4. The blame game is an easy game to play after a heartbreaking loss. The truth of the matter is that the defeat falls on everyone’s shoulders. Some die-hard Steelers fanatics may have a different idea on who to blame, such as the defense, Mike Tomlin, Arthur Smith, the offensive line, the referees, Justin Fields, or even George Pickens and his red-zone turnover.
After a game that was absolutely winnable against an injured Colts team that simply had more heart, Steelers fans are understandably upset. However, some are also optimistic as to what the future holds. Neither side is wrong, and no one can take away from how dominant the Steeler looked in the first three games of the season. Here are some of the fan reactions to the Steelers’ Week 4 defeat in Indianapolis:
I'm a long Steelers fan, since my childhood, since Kordell's times (before the SB XXX) and I agree that @DangeRussWilson should be our QB.
Fields is afraid of the big plays, he has been charmed by our defense.

Justin Fields was awesome today

George Pickens did this in a playoff game & you blamed Mike Tomlin. https://t.co/L7aeq4Y5BO

Maybe he can get George Pickens to stop celebrating after every catch, or at least get him to catch TD passes that go right through his hands.

@steelers lost the game because of the defense. Don't blame @justnfields for the loss.

Defense was atrocious
Offense has disgusting turnovers
Offense didn't even get going until the second half
And the #Steelers still only lost by 3 in an away game because we got a dude at QB now#HereWeGo

They get Harris running into the same wall all game. Patterson runs to the right and he gets 43 yards on 6 carries. 🤡 Tomlin at it again.

Honestly I think it’s Arthur smith. But yeah he isn’t playing like a contract year.

I think youve been over estimating Arthur Smith. Mediocre OC at best. Lots of questionable play calls. No creativity

Herbig as been a fine replacement lol. Not having highsmith is not why they lost
