counting Steelers out too soon, Bell running the ball pretty good on this series

Not counting them out. Just saying it is going to be pretty hard to comeback against this Jacksonville defense down 2 td's.

We will see, because it is still early...

HORRIBLE PLAY CALL. Did the steelers hire shula for todays game??

4th and short is one of the few areas Shula did well at.  He didn't have to think much. More often than not, Cam runs a sneak.

The Steelers running wide against a good and fast defense that is loaded up to stop a run is foolish.  Better to sneak it, or if you have to give it to the running back, straight up the middle.

What a difference in a young defense, the jags, vs the panthers old defense

we could rebuild our defense to a simular level if we really wanted to. Luke and our starting corners are still young and interior dline should be good. But that would require much better drafting than weve been doing over recent few years. 

A good start would be drafting 2 really good safteys in the first 4 rounds. Been ignoring saftey for along time and were starting to pay for it.

I'd let Worely and Bradberry play out their rookie deals to see if they get better. I'm willing to be theyll be helped out alot with much better safteys and a young DE.

The f*cking Jags of all teams could be heading to the AFC championship, and their QB didn't have to lead the team in rushing to drag them into the postseason. Who's the GM over there again? But we've got fans here who take solace in deflecting criticism or our own previous GM. Sad state of affairs.

Their oline is better than ours . Better RB. Better WRs. Alot of that does fall on GM drafting and FA personnel choices.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
