On the Steelers: Who needs defense anymore?

[7willBheaven]

The playoffs resumed this weekend with the possibility of a historic matchup in the Super Bowl pitting the NFL's worst two defenses.

Yes, No. 32 Green Bay vs. No. 31 New England.

And where is the No. 1 defense? Home, after losing for the first time in the playoffs to a team without a winning record, a team with the No. 23 offense and No. 20 defense.

Not a bad read...

Heath Millers role is just fine as is. If he catches more passes its taking away from the speedy receivers or # of running plays. He just doesn't have the talent of Graham or Davis do as a receiver .

[Edman]

We still need Defense, because we still have a mediocre offense.

Fact

San Francisco just beat New Orleans last night :bored:

[El-Gonzo Jackson]

Read the article. Points out the Steelers were ranked #18 in red zone scoring and that only 10 teams had worse scoring offenses. Offense needs help.

Agree, heath is an old school TE. These TE's today are just big receivers playing TE. Just need Heath to be a blocker, a third down and red zone threat.

precisely.

To be more accurate, we have an awesome offense that plays at a mediocre level. No consistency at all!

[Iron Steeler]

A little more quick reads. Heath is fine, I actually think is the most underrated tell in the league. We gotta take a good look at saunders we could have a nice duel te threat but we don't want to use it.

As for rb. Im sold on remand over mendy next year.

I really enjoyed the Giants' and 49ers' wins this past weekend. Hopefully people will shut it about defense being worthless now. It is such an awful and illogical topic.

Heath kicks a**. He's one of the few premier TEs who can catch AND block. If he had moves, he'd be at the top.
