If we stick with the run and stuff their run, we will win.  I watched some of the Ravens vs Steelers game and the Ravens O-line was getting a good push all game long (I also recall Cleveland having some success running the ball on them) so I don't think they're particular stout at the point of attack.

 

I say the game stays close for a half while we try to establish the run, but we pull away in the 2nd half as they start to get gashed in the run game.  24-10

If you have been paying attention the past 2 games you would know we haven't run the ball initially or to excess until we are trying to put the game away in the 4th.  We have come out passing to set up the run given that people are loading the box.  This week we need the same formula, take what the defense is giving us and mix it up.  Pass when they load the box and run when they expect pass.  It isn't that complicated.

fug it we're gonna win 63-0 the Steelers won't even get positive yardage against us. 15 sacks, 5 takeaways (3 for TDs). After the game the media focus won't be on domestic violence it'll be on whether the Steelers should stay in the NFL or get demoted to the CFL along with the Raiders.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
