This team is in dire need of high draft picks. They can get to the playoffs but we know something always goes wrong. Need high picks to get over the top. Can’t build through the draft anymore in today’s nfl. League is passing the Rooney’s by.
Blow it up

And the odds of the FO "blowing it up" is?
Even if they blow it up, is anyone confident that Tomlin and Co. are competent enough to develop those players into outstanding NFL caliber players? We have drafted plenty of talented players in the first 3 rounds and hardly any of them have panned out. This coaching staff has proven time and again they cannot get the most out of the players they do draft on the defensive side of the ball. The scheme ******* sucks and does not put players in a position to be successful or match up to their strengths. Yet the scheme never changes regardless of who the DC is. The more we run this morphed Tampa-2 the more we look like hot ***.
Yep hot garbage.Wait to you see what the cheats and the saints do to it.It won't be pretty.
Wrong. Change the HC and bring in fresh eyes. I'd hire Munchak but that is me. It will blow itself up when Ben quits.
Sad that this is truth. A better coach won't come until Ben retires.
Burns was a SOLID CB in college, he has the potential, why is it that Tomlin and his staff can NEVER develop any of the players that we draft.

This defense has been blown up for a very long time, ever since Troy retired basically
Steelers have no clue how to rebuild a defense through the draft now.
Only FAs with proven abilities are needed.

I expect them to go 8-7-1 this year.
and they only get that 8th win because the referees give them Cincinnati. The league can't have Tomlin put up a losing season. I practically guarantee the Steelers will get all the calls in the Bengals game.

Would never happen. Not a chance in hell they fire Tomlin and hire a white guy. Firing Tomlin is highly highly unlikely by itself. Hiring a white guy to replace him ... not a chance in hell.

Keith Butler is a freaking retard. Keenan Allen was torching us and he continued to cover him with LB's. I friggn hate his playcalling.
If you think this defense is really Butler's, I have some ocean front property in Iowa to sell you as well. This defense is the Tomlin special. Butler was a LeBeau prodigy, we NEVER ran a 2 DL set under LeBeau. This defense is a morphed Tampa 2 and if you are willing to throw 8-10 yard passes you can march up and down the field on that defense.

Or we go 15-1, there is no reason to assume that this team with these players would go 1-15 other than a scare tactic by Tomlin's apologists. Tomlin is the weak link for this team.
Put Fitch in charge he would change this course. Let him choose a D coordinator.
Hell no, put Munch in charge. Fitch is nothing more than a pawn.
I dunno that O scores a lot better under him than Haley.
How much of that is Ben having more free reign over the offense than he had under Haley?
Hard to tell, but on a few occasions I read where he said he ran what they called. Really hard to tell what he changes, after the call.
I just view Finch as a decent X and O coach.
Regardless that is what I want from the new man on campus. The ability to adjust in game time situations.

If not Allen, it would have been whomever the LBs covered. Rivers would have found the matchup. We need cover LB (Shazier) or score a bunch preferably both.
