    But Pierre for the first time in his career played consistent and earned a starting role in 2025.

    True but Ramsey,Slay and Watt had their worst season in their career

    Watt is just washed lol. Ramsey was miscast as CB1, maybe try him at slot CB and play him close to the LOS.

    Yeah so easy to defend that they have won 10 games 3 years in a row with Fields at QB (lol) , Old Wilson, Old Rodgers, Pickett/Trubisky/Mason.
    We're top 5 in sacks, top 5 on forced turnovers, and top 5 in redzone D.
    Yes Yes Yes sounds very simple to play against. LoL
    Some people like to believe anything regardless of actual proof.

    It is amazing how poor the use of English is for many players

    Have you ever noticed that reporters tend to interview the same handful of players

    I think a big part of that is finding someone who can give an intelligent understandable response

    Watt could have a bounce back season in 2026...Likely not as good that he was from the 2019 to 2023 period but I still expect a much better season if the opposing QB don't throw under 2 seconds for 8-10 yards on a pitch and catch every time on passing play

    Hmmm wonder what they have in common :hmm:......could it be age, could it be a bad season??
    Simply You don't win 10 games 3 years in a row with Fields, Old Watson, Old Rodgers, and Mason/Trubisky/Pickett playing Qb(all who lost their job after leaving Pittsburgh ), be in the tops in sacks, forced turnovers, and redzone because your D is simple to play against. To even suggest it is dumb. LoL

    It's like a needle in a haystack. The education system in the US needs a complete overhaul. I miss the 70s.

    Remember Chase running his mouth after the Bengals beat the Steelers, they knew what the Steelers were going to run blah blah blah. In the rematch Chase got shutdown and frustrated he spit on Ramsey :shrug:.

    You and I clearly have different definitions of what “sprucing up” means

    No team allowed more passes to the middle of the field than the Steelers. So if the Steelers were playing outside leverage, maybe Slay's comment has a nugget of truth.

    Priorities. Education is no longer a priority of our state, federal governents and society. Stock market and tax cuts are the #1 priorities. Been like that since the 80's.

    Wish they would bring back corporal punishment, too. I got my @$$ busted several times in the 80's for getting in fights, running down the hall, skipping class, etc.
