    We keep hearing this over and over again and when he was in and healthy, Steelers were definitely much better. But.........how many games did he miss or was playing in diminished physical capacity in his young career prior to the tragic incident? Between Bell and Shazier, lots of critical games with one or the other or both MIA.

    " Obviously " the way the D is playing as of our last game I don't give us any chance,but that would be "painting with too broad a brush " . If we can " go back to the lab" and " unleash hell" there's no reason we can't be popping Champagne like " popcorn" . Remember when things are looking their worst " we don't live in our fears" and " the standard is the standard...." Obviously "....

    Your right but you cannot blame others for being apprehensive since the 2017 defense looks very much like this years version

    Yea, the defense sucks, but the O is turning the ball over way too much. We were -5 and worst in the league. Then Ben threw a pick in the 1st quarter so now -6. This is a poorly coached, poorly disciplined squad.
