It’s the leaky defense stupid.

Steelers have proven they can beat LJ. It's been a while since Steelers beat Allen/Bills. Think it was opening day....2021, Ben's final year.

 

Last 2 games vs Baltimore have been ugly last year...For Josh Allen,he has our number like crazy....Remember when the Bills offense had almost 400 yards on offense and 31 points at halftime in 2022?

If the steelers offense would been better in this game,the Bills would score 50 points in that game

 

last of the playoff teams

come on STD - these are silly discussions...

last too in DECEMBER, for the most part

LAST when it counted, you know we SUCKED when it mattered MOST - embarrassed on Nat'l TV week after week, laughing stock again in the NFL

 

I don't care what is what rated last year. We had a bad team take us to the limit. I'm not moving anything. Those were two top tier QBs playing ▶️ in that game. We played Fields. Huge difference. This is a new year. That defense we had on the field yesterday was bad. If you're not concerned about the defense that's fine. I am very concerned. But then the Steelers play down against competition quite a bit. Cannot understand this defense at all.

 

Will have to wait and see just how bad these Jets are. Only one game in. Nobody is picking the Jets to make the playoffs at this time but that remains to be seen. I saw improvement in that game with Fields over both his time with the Bears, and last season with us. Who knows, maybe they found a good combination there.


Overall, yes. Our defense will need to improve. And I think they will. Might take a few games.

 

They got rid of their best thumper in Roberts. Shows where the priority is.

 

So regular season means nothing. So Marino sucks, Lamar Jackson sucks, LaDainian Tomlinson sucks, Barry Sanders sucks. How did some of them make the HOF???
I've said SBs are all that matters, but you people that say regular season means nothing then have to say everyone I brought up sucks also then.
Yous people can't have it both ways when You want it to be. Either regular season means nothing, or it does.

 

1000%.

It's the same issues every year.

Only one constant.

And people don't realise just how much TJ Watt has kept the team and Tomlin afloat.

 

Let us not forget the leg of BOZ. Said it before, if we had a mediocre FG kicker we'd be 7-10 last 2 years not 10-7.

 

Great point. Boswell does account for many of those close wins.

I was not encouraged by that 'Buttercream Curtain' performance against the JETS. I hope it is just the first game being like a preseason game, but that unit can't perform like that given the salary cap invested.

 

Yep, you're quite right, he's been the deciding factor in many wins over the last few years.

 

Teaching moment for the right side of the DL, mostly wide left runs:

 

This is what he said, I heard it on the local (PGH) news last night.
He is only in his second season and he sees it already, just like Minka did.

 

So Highsmith and who was playing RDE

 

Seen Black over there a couple of times. He was credited with at least one missed tackle.

 

Looks like they were running right at Cam Heyward and Peyton Wilson
in the graph.

 

Point to ponder: At the current pace, total team sacks for the year = 17.

 

The ILB Heavy hitter and run stopper from the last few years was Robinson, now playing for New England.

I don't know why Holcomb spent the entire game on the sideline with how our ILBs were not stopping the run.

 

You are right , because qe are the only team that has ever won because of a field goal. LoL. Maybe the rest of the NFL will catch on.

 

This will especially be that when the times you sack a Qb are taken away because they said he was running. They show Watt with no sacks, but I don't know about you, but I seen him take the Qb down behind the line of scrimmage . Funny Hmmm

 

All teams have won by FG's. I'm saying a mediocre one would have missed a lot of those game winners BOZ has won for us.

 

YEP
THE ONLY POINTS SCORED IN WINS.

 

Newsflash: WE are Pittsburgh Steelers fans.

Anything short of a Super Bowl Victory is not acceptable.

I'm tired of the fan base being complacent like Cowboys base.... and accept mediocrity, ah shucks attitude, etc. Screw that.... we need some major changes starting at the top in the coaching staff.
