Pittsburgh Steelers fans are fed up with offensive coordinator Matt Canada and want him gone

The Pittsburgh Steelers began a two-game winning streak today looking for a big win as 3-point favorites against the Texans. Instead, the team was defeated 30-6 and many believed offensive coordinator Matt Canada was to blame.

This isn’t the first time Steelers fans have wanted Matt Canada fired. Since he was hired before the 2021 season, Pittsburgh fans have rightfully complained about him.

They finished bottom in 2021 and 2022. Most wanted him fired after last season. He was retained, hoping that the second seasons of quarterback Kenny Pickett and wide receiver George Pickens and the signing of free agent WR Allen Robinson would help the offense.

He hasn’t. The team has totaled over 300 yards of offense just once and has yet to gain over 400 yards in a game under Matt Canada. It’s been 37 games and counting. Sunday’s loss to the Texans could be a new low. Houston has shown promise, but this is a game that both Vegas and the Steelers expect to win. Instead, the team placed an egg on both sides of the ball. The offense in particular was particularly bad.

Pittsburgh had just 225 offensive yards and 12 first downs, and couldn’t find the end zone all day. Pickett was horrible, throwing for just 114 yards on 23 attempts to go with one interception. And disaster struck when Matt Canada mysteriously called a shotgun pass on 4th-and-1 that had no chance and injured Kenny Pickett.

The calls for Matt Canada’s hiring are growing louder among most Pittsburgh fans and NFL observers.

“Matt Canada is a terrible combination of not only the worst player but also the most predictable player in the NFL,” said NFL expert Warren Sharp.
“Mike Tomlin needs to cut ties with Matt Canada’s experience. We know he’s not good enough. Goodbye change, have two weeks to make the necessary changes. Let’s spend the rest of 2023 seeing if Kenny Pickett can get close to the league average QB,” said Steelers_DB.

“Matt Canada is not going to fire himself. That’s why I’m bored of him. It starts at the top meaning Rooney/Tomlin. Who hired him? Who continues to keep it? It’s a 2. And it’s crippled this team for so long,” KevinAdams26 said. There are hundreds of other tweets like this. Almost everyone agrees. Matt Canada has to go.

Steven Nelson took sweet revenge on his former team.

The Houston Texans quarterback and former Oregon State star threw a key interception in the Texans’ surprising 30-6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Nelson was excited after the Texas upstarts picked up their second straight win, improving their record to 2-2.

Nelson’s pick came when he caught a deep pass from Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett in the first half. The Texans turned the turnover into a three-pointer and took a 10-0 lead.

Nelson, who played for the Steelers for two seasons before being released, talked a lot of trash after the win.

Nelson signed a three-year, $25.5 million contract with the Steelers in 2019. The Steelers, who had to cut salaries at the time, terminated Nelson’s contract in March 2021.

Nelson signed with Houston in April and settled with the Texans. The interception was his second of the season.
