stephens-howling is a non factor

 

pouncey gets injured every year so no surprise there

 

losing foote hurts but the steelers just aren't anywhere close to what they were a few years ago

 

Howling was going to be their return specialist this year.  And per PFT he was actually their leading rusher today.

 

Will agree with you though that the Steelers aren't what they were.

 

I've heard some Steeler fans calling for Mike Tomlin's head.  Pretty sure they haven't fired a head coach in my lifetime.

They have been slipping for some time now.

 

Can't really put my fingers on it, but maybe it just that "physical" brand of football doesn't produce enough wins in the regular season.

 

Need O to get to the playoffs, and D to get through the Super Bowl.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
