    This team is just a handful of plays away from an 8-5 record. Make a stop in the Jets game. Score in the Dolphins game. Not throw the 2nd pick in the Ravens game.

    There were other winnable games this year as well. How to get there? Start with rebuilding the offensive and defensive lines. IMHO that's really all the offense needs. They have a young QB, RB, TEs, WRs - just need blocking and a better coach. On defense, they have to be able to stop the run, especially when they know it is coming. And stop the soft zones where WRs are wide open on 3rd and 4th down. DL, MLB, and CB. I feel like as woeful as the offense is, there are more needs on defense. Can this all be corrected in one draft? Maybe not, but they may be able to make decent strides to get this team to being competitive again.

    This team is not the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Arizona Cardinals, or Houston Texans. They will be better next year.

    ALL TEAMS are a handful of plays away from a winning record. FLUSH IT! watch the games. they are not good. opposing teams tell us they know what we are doing before we do it. we are HS football.

    I think you missed my point. I didn't say they were good now, I said they need a few more pieces in order to win those games.

    Which is why I said they need a few more pieces in order to win those games.

    The Steelers are eighth in the league in average time of possession this season. They had a few bad games in this area early in the season, but the idea that the defense is just overworked simply isn't true.
