The Teryl Austin/Defense Complaint Thread (2025)

They could not possibly play any worse

 

MT did put the secondary on notice. whatever that means. they have to play better. no duhh.

we have to stop the run. again no duhh. i guess this stuff wasn't seen until after the game and the film was reviewed.

 

The Packers haven't won a game in Pittsburgh in the last 55 years. The last Green Bay QB to win here was Bart Starr in 1970.

 

It is at home.
Sometimes a smack in the face wakes one up. Maybe it happens.
But Green Bay is tough and they have Parsons and I don't want to see him hitting Rogers.
Love definitely can shred our pass defense if it plays as it did.
And most definitely, they have a ground game.
They are also very well coached.

It's a very tall order.

 

and ruined the playoffs in Buffalo the year before.

 

Did you watch the games last season? Any recent season? The middle is always open.

 

I think they get two turnovers from Love.

 

Right now the Steelers are giving up 375 yards a game which is the 5th worst in the NFL. We still have to face the Packers, Colts, Chargers, Bills, the Ravens twice and Joe Flacco again.

 

Yeah, that would have made sense..

 

I think the offense will be good enough to carry them to a win this week.

 

Welp, Tomlin said this defense will be historic.... just not the way you thought

Anyway, defensive ranks faced by GB and PIT:

GB: 12th, 21st, 13th, 30th, 31st, 15th - so they stacked a bunch of wins against bad defenses
PIT: 26th, 6th, 5th, 10th, 13th, 31st - losses against one tough defense and one division opp

 

Only hope is the team wants to go all in and win won for Rodgers against his old team...

Otherwise, this might be the first really good offense we face this year if you can believe it. There is a possibility it could get ugly.

 

And looky here, the Steelers face another QB that loves the middle of the field. Love is 7th in middle of the field passing in 10-20 yd range, completing 66%, averaging 11 yds/rec.

If the Steelers think they can used Wilson to cover their receivers in that range they are in for a rude awakening.

 

Well... Packers get another bad defense on Sunday to pad their stats.

 

HM will say NO and some other garbage. Dude must be the most depressing person in the world to be around. His cup instead of being half full is always empty

 

I think we bounce back. I keep saying it over and over. When playing division games toss the records out the window.

 

Look for max protection.
Extra TE to help block Parsons
Worked against the race baiter in Cleveland

 

Can we see players play with passion and urgeny?

 

What's more important: The way they "look"? Or scoring more points? I'll take the latter any day. No team has ever been crowned champion on style points. But..... I know what the OP means.

 

it has severely hurt the defense.

 

I looked

 

Solid game tonight from the boys huh JEH
