    Last season Rodgers was healthy the whole season, while Fields and Wilson were injured and missed games :shrug:.

    Well, it seems the defense won't be as predictable as they were last year.

    The expectation for Austin is probably the same as what he did last season around 500 yards and 5 TDs, remember Jonnu will put up good stats as TE2.

    The local media who watches practice every day, guys like Watt are moving around and they have been blitzing more.

    Until I see it on the field in games I'll believe it. We have watched the HC,DC
    For the past 5 years hold pat. This doesn't fly, attack! I would rather watch them lose being aggressive
    than what we have seen for past 5 years.

    OP couldn't even wait until the first loss of the season to be all doom and gloom.

    No, we are allowed to disagree . I am a Steeler homer and proud of it
    I have to see it in game day action when the lights are on. Preseason we won't see it
    but we better see it in regular season.

    What is seen in camp doesn't often translate to the reg season. Years of experience tell us so.

    Yea, I've seen some intriguing defensive formations. Good to see them experimenting this camp.

    At least they had a team make the AFC Championship a few times. What did the AFC south have during then.

    Will You stop, or at least know what You are saying my friend. We were 8th in the league in blitz rate last year, and I believe 1st in 2020. This is just 2025.

    The afc south were not always bad in the Manning era

    In 2002,the tians finish at 11-5 and make the afc title game
    2003:Titans at 12-4 but the colts still won the division
    2004:true it was not good with only the jaguars at 9-7
    2005:the jaguars were at 12-4,the colts still won the division
    2006:not a good division,but the colts were 3-3 against the afc south and 9-1 against the rest
    2007:3 teams make the playoffs in that division,the colts at 13-3
    2008:the colts finish at 12-4,not enough to win the division because the titans start the season 10-0 and finish at 13-3
    2009 and 2010 were weak division but the afc south were not always terrible


    Also,Manning has still been in 4 super bowl,top 5 QB of all-time easy!

    He is though. Simply looking at 27 postseason games doesn't make them "the same as the rest". The entire body of Manning's work is better than Rodgers, Brees, and Ben. He won more SB's than Rodgers and Brees, and was just a better player than Ben despite having the same 2 SB rings.... I love Ben to death (and I am more bullish on him than most on here), but I would've traded him and multiple first round picks for Peyton. He is clearly better.

    Brady played in a cream puff division too... Nobody holds that against him either. Manning would have won multiple more SB's if he had better defenses. Its just the truth. We will never know of course but Brady > Manning > Rodgers/Ben/Brees (in that order imo)

    The team had a pretty good offseason I don't get all the negativity but to each their own.

    Maybe we should see some different blitz packages then, we are not getting home.
