We are not elite. We are average.
Don't know how you can argue against that.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say we're currently a 500 team. Probably about where most expected us to be after 2 weeks.We are not elite. We are average.

Which makes us average.No we are an extremely talented but poorly coached team.
Not sure about the extremely talented part...No doubt we have a lot of good players but I agree about the coaching . We definitely don't have a coaching staff to turn the mediocre into championship caliber.No we are an extremely talented but poorly coached team.
But at least we had Pierre Island to terrorize the Raiders receivers.The defense finished the day minus 5 starters
When the D players are healthy I think that is enough to keep them in competition for the division title. I think that is in the realm of can happen. I don't put stock on anything past that. The Oline will have to morph into something other than the weak link for that to come about.Is this a new revelation? This was a team entering the season with a potentially great defense, an average QB, and a terrible offensive line.
The defense finished the day minus 5 starters and the line looks like one with minimal investment over the offseason. The Steelers really believed hiring the assistant line coach, a midround center, and starting Okorafor again was going to be an upgrade over what they had last year. The run blocking is still a disaster and now they can't even protect Ben. This team will compete every week and win a good many games, but they don't look like a team that will contend for the division title.
Making the playoffs isn't particularly difficult. You need to be fairly good to win a playoff game however.Average teams can make the playoffs. But yeah. I agree. Probably even below average.

When's the last time we won a playoff game again? I forget.

But talent level is not what is in question. Your answer should have been yes (or worse} based on your reason!No we are an extremely talented but poorly coached team.
That's inaccurate. First 6 games of last season, in the first half they scored 16, 17, 17, 17, 24, 24. This was when they could run the ball a little bit, that is the common denominator in all this.Since beginning of lst year, we have TERRIBLE first halves consistently...Ben has been at the helm during that period...He's still doing nothing in the first halves...We're kidding ourselves, our Beloved Ben is done...
We need our next QB like now
