ok...all bs aside...

Obviously wild card is outta the equation. Steelers need to run the table to win the division....it can be done because the Rats have a much tougher schedule than we do.

11-5 and we get a first round bye.

They might drop one more game and still win the North with a 10-6 record....if we drop two...we'll need help on the final week to get in.

Head says they'll go 10-6...heart says it doesn't matter they won't go anywhere with this defense no matter what happens.

Ben called out the coaching stuff a couple times without even being asked about it....I bet he misses cowher...cowhers teams weren't this lousy, undisciplined .....I remember seeing players getting a flag and he'd go ballastic on the side line....Sean Davis wouldn't have been out there on that last drive....shamarko Thomas would've been cut long ago.

Tomlin....without a doubt...is feeling some heat right now. I think Ben is trying to alert the Rooneys change is needed at the top.

Dump this stupid defense...get rid of Mitchell.....we need to switch over to 4-3. This defense and scheme is outdated.

Without a true NT and some stud pass rushers this defense doesn't work...and there are a handful of guys like big snack that roams around the planet...the odds of landing a true NT like him that can play all 3 downs ain't gonna happen.

We have the interior of the 4-3 in place....add the rest and go with it. Blow this defense from inside and out.

We don't have the personnel to run the 4-3, we have gone to the 4-3 set a few games this year. We can't run the 4-3, 3-4, 2-5, or almost any other defense with the personnel we currently have. More and more teams have switched to the 3-4 because of the versatility it gives you. We just don't have the players to run it. I think Butler could do a much better job with his play calls to help offset our limitations though. Anyone else tired of watching Shazier run full speed into the OL and get stone walled EVERY SINGLE TIME? This staff is exceptionally stubborn and sadly no scheme changes are going to fix that.

Huh? You think this is a playoff team?

No way.

I hear Elvis is alive and well. He was just caught in a trap. He will be making his wheelchair comeback tour soon.

1. Shazier is great in a lot of areas...but his blitzing isn't all that good. He can't time his blitzes...he was anxious on a couple last night rushing up to the line....tipping his hand...a guy like him should be coming off of a delayed blitz. Dak wasn't getting rof it that quickly...a delayed blitz for shazier would be a lot more effective. Let the OL in engage...then use his speed in a surprise/delayed blitz. This is something Keith butler should've incorporated into the game plan.

Especially on that last drive.


2. We don't have the personnel to run the 3-4 effectively right now either.

You'll need, at the minimum a True NT, and 2 great pass rushers. You think one draft will fix that?

No, but I think a FA signing puts us a lot closer. We are much closer to running a solid 3-4 then we are the 4-3. However with Captain Cliche in charge, I am not optimistic that we can bring in the right types of players regardless. The one thing the Steelers have always had was good to great LB...now look at us.

On one of the running plays, McCullers pushed his man a yard or two straight back. No one filled in the gap and Zeke ran through the gap for a first down. I will say it until I am blue in the face, you must have a NT that can play 3 downs along with 2 DL on the field.

A lot rides on Dupree.

No way this team puts on a 2015 Chiefs like run to end the season. Sorry, don't see it. This defense is gutless, heartless. The offense is gutless when they play on the road, and oh yeah we have 4 more road games left. So yeah I'm pretty sure we're ****** here fellas. 11-5? 10-6? Try 6-10 or 7-9
