You're never as good as you think you are....and you're never as bad as you think you are.

I think the Steelers just need to throw away that game tape into the trash...and get to work, and move on.

Getting Bell back helps. Onto the Cheifs...

Yes, but Tomlin has a saying, you put it on tape, every team now knows we have no legit pass rushers, this rush 3 **** isn't going to work anymore. It's time to let Harrison start and play as much as he can and blitz the **** out of everyone, it's the only way this D has a shot. Learning to tackle wouldn't hurt either

wrapping up instead of bumping into someone would aid in the tackling process...

This is what I meant by saying get to work. We need Dupree back badly.

yep.....was at my son's 8th grade game Tuesday and they have a small kid that plays CB, the other team actually completed a pass to the receiver on his side and he drove his shoulder into the kids hip wrapped his arms around the much bigger kids legs and took him down for just a short gain....

much like in hook up sex....wrap it up.....

I think everyone already knew this.

we don't need pass rushers...just play the cover 2.

That's all we need...

Had a bad feeling we'd lose. We always lose in Philly.

The Steelers have not won a game in Philly throughout the entire Super Bowl era...the last time we won in Philly was 1965.
Back when the Brown **** stains were the reigning NFL champs.

The Steelers blitzed. It was picked up.

Don't ever remember Cowher saying that but remember JoPa saying you are never as good as they say after a win and never as bad as they say after a loss.

I thought you were going to drop one of Cowher's other favorite quotes when the Team has to fix what they messed up... "This puts things into perspective". But yours is spot on, its a reality check.

We need to do something with these inept linebackers who can't apply pressure. Stunts, bring up a safety, corner blitzes, or something to get these QBs out of their comfort zones.

Cowher typically didn't have defenses that didn't tackle and played like this.

But apparently, that takes a rocket science to figure out. You'd think after it happened one time, you ride the crap out of those doing that **** and it would be fixed. But nope, not this team. For some reason, they can't grasp (no pun intended) the simple concept of wrapping up when you tackles so the ball carrier doesn't bounce off you and run away. And don't give me this **** about them not having enough full contact practice time. I see other teams making solid tackles all game without this "bump into the runner but don't wrap up" bull ****.

I simply don't recall seeing this BS with Cowher teams. I'm not saying no one ever missed tackles, but not like this. They look like clowns out there.
