Steelers Defense - Is it Coaching, Scheme or Players?

true but the fumble and the drop was the 2 biggest play in that game

 

The Ravens out gained the Bills by 150 yards and held Josh Allen to 126 yards passing but like most games it comes down to winning the turnover battle. The Ravens turned it over 3 times while the Bills didn't turn it over at all.

 

the bills have much more postseason success in these last 4 years than we had since 2011. Ravens i didnt look up but its better than our 3 postseason wins in the last 14 years.

 

We look at it differently, and that's cool. The only post season success to me is a trip to the SB, the way I look at it, they are doing the exact same thing we are doing, going to the playoffs, and getting beat before reaching the SB.

 

i used to look at it like you do, but i’ve been starving or missing a playoff win for a long time. The bills are much closer to that SB win than we are, as of right now. If AR signs maybe we narrow the gap a little. But then there’s Tomlin and his coaching staff: who are a liability - not an asset - in the playoffs.

 

The Bills are a very good team. Also a very unlucky team.


The Bills could have been the AFC representative in last year's SB. I think they would have lost to the Eagles also.


The 49ers got to a SB with a mediocre QB. He is good enough to win with when he has the players around him to make him great. But, he doesn't make the players around him better. I think the 49ers made a bad move.


The Lions lost both coordinators to HC jobs, and their starting Center just retired. I believe they will continue to be the team to beat in the NFC because they have built that team the right way. I still think they need to upgrade Goff, and they are in the SB.


I like what I saw from Jayden Daniels last season. But much like CJ Stroud's rookie season, there is film on him now. I will be very interested to see how Daniels does his sophomore season.

The Bears will go as Caleb Williams goes.


I expect the Ravens to represent the AFC in the SB this season. It's their turn. They have the offensive prowess, they have the defensive guru coordinator, and they can run the football better than the Eagles of they will just do it.

 

Its all just losses in the playoffs. Again, there have been hundreds of teams go deep in the playoffs, and never make a SB. How far you get a few years into the playoffs means nothing the next year.

 

They'd be the second team to reach that conclusion.

The extension he signed last year would make offloading him difficult though.

 

Did the Steelers make a mistake letting go of Spillane? I read where he was the 10th ranked ILB in the league last season. He had the 2nd most tackles (158). Queen with 129.

 

No, Spillane is very limited in pass coverage.

 

And Queen isn't??

Spillane: 27 tgts - 78% completion - 193 yds

Queen: 35 tgts - 83% completion - 281 yds

 

No

 

It was very hard but this is also true that the best number that Brady had during in his career was against the steelers....At one point Brady had like 22 TD,0 INT in the first 6 games in the Tomlin era.The best numbers of Mahomes are also against the steelers,this is like 18 TD 1 INT in 4 games

 

According to Ryan Clark, apparently it's the coordinators.

 

Who hires the coordinators?

 

Now do the Cowher era him and LeBeau had no answers either.

 

very slim sample size for Cowher and Lebeau(only 3 games but Brady had 3 interceptions in those games and they would likely been 2-1 in those games if Randle el not make a awful play at the end of the first half in the 2005 matchup).It was also in the spygate era for the pats

 

There you go with the excuses when talking about Cowher they lost period .

 

HFS.....how people just act like history didn't happen. I can't even count the number of people that wanted LeBeau gone because........
The game had passed him by..
His scheme was too hard for 1st, and 2nd year players, and we should implement a easier scheme.....you know, like Seattle is running (that was the favorite team at the time that this was all being said)
I was mortified at losing LeBeau, but for many fans to say this.....it's freaking hypocritical.
Also You may have not been one of those fans that were in the majority at that time, and if You weren't, my apologies, but there were many of them then, many.

 

I'm surprised you didn't start a separate thread for this tweet

 

Coming from the guy who has done just this 2457 times

You really don’t deal well with competition

 

It was time to move on from Lebeau,he was great for so long with us,he is a legend but the game had passed him by

The problem,Butler was just trash and the steelers needed a complete overhaul of their defense and 11 years later,I still wait for it
