worried about our run defense

The Commanders don't have Mahomes they have a rookie QB.

 

Daniels is still a great QB even if he is a rookie QB,similar to C.J Stroud last year and Stroud had a big game vs us in 2023 too....It will be a huge challenge and it will be a great win for the steelers if they are able to beat the commanders

 

I have seen him play but some of you guys are acting like they're unbeatable, even if they lose it's not a big deal it would be a loss to an NFC team.

 

The problem is with the IDL group as a whole. Larry O and Cam Heyward are the best that the team has. Problem is, both are over the age of 29. DeMarvin Leal was having a good season until his neck injury and I don't know what has happened to Keeanu Bentons ability to stuff the run myself.


QB isn't the only thing the Steelers need heading into 2025. $10 says IDL will be a massive focus.

 

True. But that rookie has outperformed Mahomes so far this year, and by a pretty considerable margin. Daniels is the 7th rated passer in the league and Mahomes is 24th. Justin Fields is 9 points more highly rated than Mahomes has been so fart this year.... It is fair to say that I am more scared of Daniels right now than I am Mahomes, except for post season. Patrick's experience in the post season matters a ton, no matter how he's performing in the regular season.

 

Mahomes be what?

Stinky

 

I don't care about the personal stats Mahomes is 7-0, Daniels is 6-2.

 

Some in the local media is starting to question whether Benton's best position is NT.

 

Why do You keep putting words in My mouth. LoL. I have never said such a thing. I said we are great at not giving up points, and turnovers. I want to get better also. I just don't think the D sucks, or is bad.

 

This is the exact reason why yards don't matter, and points do. Without a miracle bomb....the Bears win that game.....no matter how many yards Washington had

 

We should get Dexter Lawrence

 

The problem with this is....outside of Bengals, and Chiefs.....who can get away with that all game long against us, and with the Bengals D.....they will have to stop our offense

 

Big difference is....unlike against the Texans last year....we can score now.

 

Yeah, there is a lot more than just QB play that goes into a team's record...

 

HeinzMustard said he can see commanders getting 400 yards - he did not say anything giving up points... you shat all over him over about the 400 yard argument.

Make up your mind on what you're arguing over.

 

I think with the bye week and getting back a lot of guys who were out that we beat the Redskins in Washington.

 

P. Wilson is so small that it's easy to move him. Queens still seems lost. Stopping the run definitely requires some thumpers and guys with the willI to do. It seems to me that we were generating pressure with 4 or 5 rushers on 3rd and long and dropping back 6 or 7.

 

Commanders have played the 5th easiest schedule thus far in the season (based on Vegas projected win totals). The Steelers have played the 7th easiest. Something's gotta give in the next game.

Oh, and the Steelers have the 6th toughest remaining schedule in the NFL.... knuckle up!!

 

Daniels is LJ but with hyper accuracy that LJ doesn't have. That is a deadly combo...

 

true but Stroud had still a great game vs us

 

For the entire season the commanders are top 3 in yards and PPG....THey have a elite offense right now and they could have more points vs bears without penalties like us vs giants

 

I don't think there is a maybe. They caught the Broncos before Bo Nix started figuring things out. They caught the Falcons in when Kirk Cousins was playing his first game back from the torn Achilles tendon. The Commanders, Ravens, Bengals, Eagles, and Chiefs are all going to be tougher tests.

 

The point is the Giants had close to 400 yards against the Steelers, but they found a way to win the game so scoreboard.

 

They should play Roberts more on the early downs, then on passing downs use Wilson.
