really because the secondary and pass rush has showed what this year?

not saying this team will have a losing season, but the weaknesses on D is too glaring

and I feel safe to say that

I wish I was wrong


time for a secondary and LBer coaching change

Unfortunately that will not ameliorate the situation. They need new talent evaluators.
 
Rounds 1-4 next years... OLB every pick. How were they so much better last year than this year? Tuitt and Heyward have disappeared as far as pass rush goes.
 
15-1 Confirmed

Well, you can't see much in terms of pass rush if the DC doesn't actually let you RUSH the passer ... Secondary? Golden got hurt early ... so, Davis to Safety and Burns got more time than he normally would have. That also meant Shamarko probably saw the field more than he would normally ... that's not a good thing.
 
It has been speculated that the Steelers offensive line is the best in the NFL.

I'll respectfully disagree.
 
Jim Schwartz just likes coaching teams that have never won super bowls.

think about what the greatest weakness on this team has been for years

and who coaches those areas
 
We need Antwon Blake back here...

;)
 
Just sit Ben, we can't afford an injury

Well, the LB coaches just started their job last year ... so if those were weaknesses for years ... look no further than the DC and quit blaming the new guys. lol

Timmons is probably lost for the season too.
 
On a bright note, we can look forward to LOTS and LOTS of analysis from Coach this week.... I mean LOTS and LOTS! lol

I'd expect 4 JJ's if they went that route. No confidence in their evaluating ability.

That might not be a "bad" thing in the long term ... gives Williams the chance to grab his assumed role.
 
This loss sucks that much more living near a bunch of Eagles fans who now think they have the best QB in the game and superbowl bound.
 
This is the kind of game where we needed our hall of fame qb to step up. He didn't. I hope this doesn't become a habit.
