Offense steadily improving

5th in ppg
4th in ypg
2nd in redzone scoring


Best it's ever been, just needs to be more consistent. Already like Randy over Haley.

 

2nd in passing/game but 23rd rush/game. Surprised it's that lopsided given Conner's su cess but time me it screems.imbalance and an.over reliance on big passing plays... Would be interested in 20+/- yards... Could only put my fingers on passer rating breakdowns easily

 

I'd rather have a top 5 defense and average offense... than what we have now. Seems like we won more Super Bowls with that alignment.

 

I think the Steelers should trade for desean Jackson.. Idk why but i really like him. Him ab and juju at receiver best core in football. Have him through 2020 too I think

 

For years I was a true believer that defense wins championships but I think the NFL has made rule changes so the offense has the advantage now. Seems most fans want offense and I understand that but raised on the 70 Steelers I fought it for a long time.

 

I hear ya but not clear if that's a winning recipe at this point in time. Baltimore had a top if not the top defense going into the KC game. Maybe things will change later in the season as teams start to figure out good pressure schemes but right now good defenses don't seem to be winning games for teams

 

That does not work anymore..... the 5th best defense in football by todays standards is horrible. The best defense in football is not stopping the rams chiefs pats chargers saints and the probably even the steelers at all anymore.......

 

......and that's in 3 quarters

 

You would rather be the Jags?

 

Lopsided due to getting behind big in the early season games. I would expect our rushing rank to improve going forward if our D continues to improve.

 

Nice, but we're still -3 in TOs, and we're #1 in penalty yards with almost 600 yards of accepted penalties. Almost a full game ahead of 2nd most penalized team.

Turnovers + penalties can easily cancel out scoring a lot of points.

 

we are 4-2-1 playing sloppy quarters... if we can keep improving we should be good. I expect some dumpster fire losses though, it's just in our nature lol.

that penalty stat is not good

 

The problem is the back half of our schedule is so tough we won't be able to win "sloppy"

To beat the Pats, Saints, Panthers, Chargers, etc we have to play almost perfect. We can't fall behind 21-0 and expect to come back and win against teams that are actually good.

 

our November/December stretches we look elite. Then come January we fall back to September levels.

 

FTFY.

 

So you would take the Ravens defense and #14 offense over the Steelers #4 offense and #18 defense? These rankings are based on total yards. The top defenses are 21, 28, 31, 25 in offense.
