    We all seen it with our own eyes;

    On another note, it looks like the next game could look similar to Wk1. Seahags vulnerable to the pass, very tough against the run. Look for more Rodgers heroics.

    Take that with a grain of salt since two teams that many think will be in the SB are with us and below us.

    If you go back to the end of last year Last 5 games including playoffs we were terrible/
    I hope we see huge improvement going forward.

    Those two teams played each other and have top offenses. OTOH, Steelers made the Jets offense look Super Bowl bound.

    Remind me my friend when was the last time the Bills defense looked great?? Their D has been average lately, and I believe the Jets beat them in the 1st game last year.

    I agree with the Bills defense.Biggest reason why Josh Allen is still ringless

    Don't worry, we are all in a simulation. This is just going to be like one of those Herbie the Love bug movies. Starting out at the back of the pack and then moving forward, passing them up one at a time!

    I think with the small number of games in the NFL, we'd want to adjust these results compared to the average performance of the teams they played.

    I think your post would look very different to people who (1) knew the last 5 teams they played last year and (2) people that didn't.

    We will see. Different teams, different gameplans. I expect the offense to run better and the defense to be better overall. It's not that we CANT do it. This year's defense is (on paper) better than last year's and we had some bad games against the Ravens, but also held a number of teams that run it well in check (first Ravens game, Philly, etc.). We just need a bit more consistency and quite frankly, to gel into what we can become throughout the year.

    We will see the same game plan until we can stop the run.

    Chiefs and Bills have Mahomes and Allen to count on for heroics. Can Rodgers deliver week after week? As for the Lions, who’s also in the pack with us, it’s going to be a long season for them. Their coaching staff was decimated

    And the Steelers beat the Bengals in gm1.

    Divisional games are a toss up most times.

    Buffalo has the Steelers problem, can't stop the run. So it's hang on tight and hope for Allen magic or a key turnover.

    it is hard to take with a grain of salt.

    it is a trend, as of now, last 6 - 7 games and counting.

    The guy that posted this appears to not know the rules of football, because he just put that boy on notice by the Refs, that 2nd play should have been a flag, it was a big time hold, and a take down by the jersey. I hope someone points that out to the refs

    Hopefully we can only get better since it would be hard to get worse

    did we even get anyone to stop the run. We have old man Car. What is queen or whoever doing. Our rookie is injured. Why isn't Yahya Black THE NOSE TACKLE --WAKE UP STEELERS you must stop the run. Oh I have a little<secret> for you Warren is only a 3rd down back and Gainwell :lolol:.Is it TJ Watt or TJ WHAT----As in what are you not doing that you should be doing----Like :zwin: ALL THE qb.Whatever we got Rodgers and he will take us to 7. if not .kick him to the retirement home to eat bark in his dark places. >I < better see something better this week. Not giving up tons of points ..looks like a Madden game. Lets go :steelflag:
