| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Matt Williamson. What's shaking. |
| 0:10.1 | Beautiful day here, a little hot, you know, but we are in the middle of summer, middle of dog days, and I'm going to sound redundant, but I just can't get this off my noodle right now. |
| 0:21.8 | Of every layer of this onion that I unpeel, it seems like every 24 hours I take another layer of the onion off, |
| 0:30.4 | about just how terrible. |
| 0:33.6 | The Pittsburgh Steelers started games last year. |
| 0:37.0 | Unbelievable. So I got some more numbers, |
| 0:40.4 | some more comments, and then I'll probably drop it. But it's, I knew it wasn't good. |
| 0:48.5 | I knew it wasn't good in week 10, but I didn't think it was to this degree. So how about this? On the Steelers opening |

| 1:35.5 | I mean, it's not like they were, well, I guess they were negative point differential, |
| 1:42.2 | minus six in terms of minus seven, in terms of first drives. |
| 1:46.9 | But it just happens that they happen to throw a pick. |
| 1:49.3 | The big thing here is 17 straight opening drives without a touchdown. |
| 1:55.9 | Horrendous. |
| 1:57.0 | I mean, you have to blame, again, for all this stuff, the weekly prep, in this particular case, you have to discuss the script, the scripted plays of the offense and the offensive play caller. |
| 2:15.4 | And I will say this, though, there are two sides of every coin. The side of the coin |
