I have all of our wins on DVR from 2015.

I watch them late at night, when there isn't much on (hard to believe with over 500 channels that there is ever a time when there isn't something worth watching on.)

Watching the Browns game, Colts, Raiders, Bengals...a few others, the obvious becomes even more obvious:

- AB is superhuman (at least when Ben is QB). No matter how man superlatives are thrown his way, they are never enough. I have run out of words while watching him play.

- Ben is extraordinary. He still makes some bonehead throws - that can cause me to erupt in vulgarity - but he is an outstanding QB. Even in some of the incompletions, he places the ball with insane accuracy. He is special.

- D Will really did have an outstanding season. He ripped off tons of 9 yard runs, all day some games.

- As much as it hurts to say, Bryant had mad athletic skills. He is almost Moss-like in his speed and length.

- The D is not as far away as stats say they are. They did have the propensity to give up long passes, but they were not plain horrid, like the Saints or Giants. I think points given up is the most telling D stat, and Pgh was a respectable 11th there. Move that to, let's say, 7th, and we could be SB ready.
 
By the way most of those 500 channels are shopping channels
 
The Steelers D held their own for a stretch there. They are a corner and safety away from being special. I want to see pass rush, but today's NFL is so pass heavy and quick dump offs. Sometimes the front 7 can be useless. Now when we play teams like the Ravens who drop Flacco back 5-7 steps. Pressure him and get those patented up for grabs pass interference. One of those footballs will be a turnover for the Steelers benefit

Teams with running QB's. Go back and watch the 49ers and Colts games the Steelers had a field day front 7. Kap had a good game against us. But the defense really did dictate the opposition
 
I remember our D carrying us when Ben was out. That was fun to watch.
