Expectations vs Reality

Before 2017 we expected this to be a offensive juggernaut with a upcoming defense that can get some stops.


We started the year with a stifling defense and abysmal offense.

Well, here comes the end of the year and yeah sure our defense has huge holes but guess what?

We have the potential to be that offensive juggernaut with or without brown.

1. Surging Ben
2. Bryant back
3. Juju on that beat(returner too)
4. Bell
5.ridley
6. James
7. Healthy McDonald’s
8. Bosgod
9. Our savior brown if he can make it.

Oh yea we lead the league in sacks, who would’ve thought.


Offense has to carry us.

1. Score
2. Hit opposing qb
3. Score more
4. Bosgod will handle our nerves
5. Tie Haley up
6. Defense will get a couple stops



30-35 ppg will get us 7

 

Good points. However, if we are playing in Foxboro, I'd say that # at the end is 33-37 ppg

 

I agree with your premises. The offense cannot commit turnovers or leave touchdowns off the board in red zone opportunities. Tomlin and Haley cannot go conservative if the game is on the line and punt, leaving the balance of the game in the hands of the defense. If the Steelers play as smart as their talent, they have a good shot of winning it all. Plan to score 40.

 

We all know that Ben has the ability to run a Peyton Manning style no-huddle offense all game long and I see no reason we shouldn't let him throughout the playoffs. Push the tempo and let our offensive weapons take over.

 

I'd hate to see a no-huddle offense against our defense all game long. They're lost after 35 seconds of running in circles after the ball is snapped.
