It’s the leaky defense stupid.

    The seahawks with under 200 offensive yards with 2 minutes left vs 49ers....If the steelers defense are bad against this offense,it will be a huge red flag

    Maybe start to consider sprinkling Holcomb in there a bit more as well.

    Ok. But....Payton Wilson and Patrick Queen are the 1st team ILBs. They both played very well today. I'm rooting for Holcomb. He lost his spot in TC though.

    This defense isn’t really built to stop anyone anymore, just to slow them down enough to outlast them.

    I don’t know what it is, but they have missing impact play from the middle of the defense for a really long time now.. NT, ILB, S…

    I feel our defense is like the Colts defense of the Manning days, was pretty good during the regular season, it lived and died on the success of their edge rusher (no unique blitzes), but it folds in the post season because they just line up and try to beat you with sheer athleticism…

    I’m just not seeing much strategy.

    Our front line got pushed around today, except for maybe Watt. The rest including highsmith just sucked today.

    and Slay is proving to be a liability. I didnt like bringing in a CB on the wrong side of 30. With Ramsey it might be working out cause he can play safety as well but Slay? I dont know what they were thinking there.
