Steelers want Bell for life

So they would have play a week later at the same place it wasn't like we played @ Jax we played at home. Yes if we play that game there will be a different out come, the same can be said about the Super Bowl or any game. My point is losing to the Pats had nothing to do with the jax except one thing we might have played the Pats in the AFCCG instead of the Jags in the divisional round. Of course who is to say we beat Tenn??????

 

They would've smoked Tenn just like they did earlier in the season.

 

So then we really weren' that good if we had to avoid people? Wouldn't have mattered if ne played jax because they beat them

 

So using your logic it wouldn't have mattered when we played the Jagoffs cause A we would of lost and B we would have had turn overs.........just like we did earlier in the season. Se how that came back to bite you in the butt. You can't pick and choose.......

 

Dude forget it, you don't get it .

 

Yeah but the eagles defense made a play when needed. They lose that game if they don't force Brady to fumble and if they don't stop ne from scoring 5 out of their 11 possession which 2 of them were 4th down stops.

 

The defense did play a good game right up until the last drive where they left the Pats go right down the field and score. Up until that point they both did what they were suppose to do both offense and defense. We were up 5 and the game in the defense hands and they couldn't close it out(with help from the coaching staff) so yeah I blame the defense. I also blame the offense for that pitiful display on the series before the Pats got the ball all we need there was a first down. Let's not forget the Pats did hold teams to 24 or under points in 12 of their games, it's not like we are talking about the worst ranked defense.

For the record I was not the one who posted blame another poster said the offense lost that game I disagreed. Both get a lot of blame along with the coaching but I am not putting the blame on the offense when the defense was given the lead and a long field to bring it home.

 

What? They held ne scoreless on 5 out of their 11 possessions. Overtime the defense wore down and got tired. Eventually 1st ballot hall of famer like Brady and gronk are going to score lol you expected to THEM shut them down the ENTIRE GAME? but when it mattered most they made the stop. Just like how in the 2012 sb the ravens were shutting the 49ers down then they made a cone back but in the end their defense made the stop when needed. And lol had the offense showed up like philly's lol what? Philly just like pitt lost the lead in the 4th qtr... difference was their defense showed up in clutch time while this defense wet the bed completely.

 

Now with Bell reportedly set to sign the franchise tag, do you think the steelers could perhaps do a sign and trade with him if they know they won't hit his magic # he is asking for?
I wouldn't be against a sign and trade either.. Maybe look into a trade with the Giants for their pick as well?? Something like....

Giants Trade:
2nd Overall Pick
and one of the following three: Elvin Engram (TE), Landon Collins (SS) or Janoris Jenkins (CB)

Steelers Trade:
Leveon Bell
Steelers 1st rd pick

and if they want a 5th I will throw that in there..

Then with the #2 pick we go after Barkley from Penn St.

 

If they put the exclusive tag on him again they cant trade him...........

 

The clowns are going to draft him #1

 

Not until Bell signs it and I am sure if we tried to trade him he wouldn't sign it to jerk everyone around. The tag and trade thing is a good idea only if Bell signs it and he don't have to sign it till when he wants and no team is gonna wait for him to sign it right?

 

I dont know what your point is NY, if we ex tag him there is no trade possibilities, if go with the non X tag he would be able to negotiate with other teams to get that contract he wants, it would be in his best interest to sign a non X tag right away..........

 

Yeah I quoted the wrong guy on accident this is why I hate using my phone, you said the same thing I was trying to say to Chuckie he was talking about tagging Bell and trading......sorry

 

over QB???? or do they pursue QB in FA??
I would only do the Giants trade, IF the Clowns weren't drafting barkley..
