Week 3 power rankings

11. Panthers (6): The defense didn't get to Ben Roethlisberger last week like they usually do at home (35 sacks in their previous nine home games) and they ran out of running backs vs. the Steelers. Ron Rivera isn't too happy Mike Tomlin's team ran for 264 yards on Carolina's defense -- the most rushing yards vs. the Panthers since 2008.

Wow, pretty generous imo. This week will tell us ALOT about this team. Another Pittsburgh performance and it may be a long year. But a bounce back game and we're right back to where we want to be.

Would love nothing more than for Cam and KB to go off! I'm not so worried about the Tolbert and Stew injuries. Our run game has been non exsistent anyway, I rather see a back like Seastrunk get some looks. Whether it be on tosses, screen plays or just something short out of the backfield. We're more build for something like that, I just hope Shula doesn't become stubborn and try and force things up the middle. Need to start calling plays that best suit your talent and not the opposite.

    • It’s like being on the Flyers broadcast team feed so far
    • Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.
    • I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
