Whining about refs, particularly before the fact, is for pussies and Suckhawks fans (which are one and the same)...

Side note: Anyone see the refs during the OSU/Wisconsin game? If I were a Wisconsin fan, I'd be P.O'd

The officiating is terrible everywhere. I turned off the Alabama vs. Tennessee game after the officials missed 2 blatant Alabama penalties to help give them a 14 point lead.

Miami sticks the Steelers in black for this one.

Don't really like this game at all. Miami is a bad team.

If this team really wants to go places, they need to take care of business today.

This again? Why is this being brought up? Was it the schemes fault that Willie just dropped that ball? Was it the scheme that led to Brandon Marshall's touchdown last week when Ross had the ball in this hands?

???

You are lucky if a defender is even close enough to the ball to even try to catch it with these schemes.

It has been this way for over 20 years. Don't try to blame the players for garbage backfield schemes.

Look at the history of interceptions with this defense. Always near the bottom minus about 5 seasons out of 25. For years and years.

Its not the players.

Stop blaming them.

Edman
10-16-2016, 12:48 PM

Miami is one of the best pass rushing lines in the game. Their weakness is Run Defense. Gotta start tearing them up on the ground.

Sammie Coates and Eli Rogers surprisingly silent so far.

SteelMayhem72

I think Ben is gonna have to start stepping up in the pocket more or roll him out some

steelerdude15
10-16-2016, 12:50 PM
Our offensive line needs to pick it up. Also, Jesse is still developing as a blocker. If they Steelers want to use him as a blocker, they may have to have the running back come up and help.

pczach

If the game plan is for Jesse James to block Cameron Wake by himself coming off the edge, it's going to be a loooong day for Ben.

He's got the size to do it. Did they have him blocking much at Penn State, if they did that should shorten the learning curve? I don't pay attention to college ball anymore.

Yeah, cause when the ball hits them right in the hands, its the scheme. :rolleyes:

I'm not of the fan of the zone scheme either. I would prefer that the Steelers switch to man coverage and for them to draft man coverage corners, but it won't happen.

He wasn't a great blocker, but you can't have a tight end in the backfield trying to block one of the best edge rushers in the NFL one on one with a running start off the line of scrimmage. No TE's are going to get that done with no help.

That's not what I said. Yes, Gay should have caught the ball.

That wasn't my argument. My argument is that the scheme has been garbage for years and we should feel lucky that he was even there to knock it down. Usually they are at least 5 yards away.

It's not the players.

You, know actual facts about the last 2 decades of Steelers defense.

Prior to multiple HOF level players retiring, the scheme generated plenty of turnovers.

Yep. It's going to be a very long time once Ben retires. Landry for sure is not going to be the answer.

:noidea:

Look, none of this really matters, but you seem to want people to listen to and engage with your arguments and comments. Here is the reason why, they are about as factually true as a campaign promise.

NFL Rank in Points (just to be super clear here, the lower the # the better):

2010 - 1
2011 - 1
2012 - 6
2013 - 14
2014 - 18
2015 - 11
2016 (to date) - 9

So aside from two seasons (2013 and 2014) the team has ranked basically top 10 or better.

Facts matter. I know the internet makes it seem like it doesn't but no one will care about your arguments if they can be easily demonstrated to be nonsense.

Facts matter. However, nobody was discussing defense rank in points allowed, yards or turnovers. Not sure why you brought those up.

Just interceptions.

And just real quick, here is the Steelers defensive ranking (interceptions only) since Lebeau returned in 2004. Bottom of league minus a handful of season.

Basically I have seen nothing so far that shows this team is ready to play. Sure, it's "only" 8 points, but unless there is a dramatic turnaround in their demeanor, a victory is so far out of reach it might as well be on the moon.

The ONLY thing working for us has been Bell running the ball, everything else has been a big fat F.

So honest question and not to sound stupid, but I can't even ask my husband this as neither of us follow college ball (except Pitt) or the draft. Has there NOT been a QB we could have drafted in the last few years or is it just a position we've ignored or is it they're satisfied with Jones?? I really would like to know.

The Steelers are banking on the idea that Landry being in the system for a while will magically make him good (or at least decent), but the fact of the matter is that Landry sucks. He's not adequate. He's bad.

Good quarterbacks are difficult to find, particularly without using a high draft pick. The team has had needs at many other positions and they already have a great quarterback in Ben. They chose to try to make the team around Ben as strong as possible by drafting players at positions of need other than quarterback.

That's why they haven't really improved the position through the draft.
