Yes, now we need the offense to catch up.
If these two could ever just get on the same page..... the team would be unstoppable.
I can find the stats for TFLs, but they have to be leading that as well.

Too lazy to check the exact math. But it looks like the Bucs have them by a tackle or two.

Already more points than last year!Quote:

You'd never know the Steelers have an Elite defense or anything else for that matter if you leave it up to the talking heads on TV and Media. I can't say I've ever seen such a complete disregard for an undefeated NFL team in the 30+ seasons I've watched the NFL.

The Steelers have the other three. :wink02:
The steelers have also the best point differenciel in the NFL at + 124...The chiefs are second at + 107.
The defense is giving up only 17.4 pts per game. Offense is scoring 29.8 pts per game. That IS fairly incredible considering how much all the coaches suck. Imagine if we had Munch.
Right... and we have the two worst coordinators in football.Quote:

If only it were just the Covid pandemic, a divisive election, the continued anthem issue/social injustice, but now there is also the element of the schedule getting changed multiple times now and the daily life disruption due to NFL protocols and guidelines. The fact that every team isn't playing .500 ball and/or dealing with mass opting out is seriously miraculous. Kudos to our coaches and a big thanks to our players for keeping their focus and giving my life a sense of normalcy this season. At least sports/entertainment-wise.
I do not feel that Randy Fitchner is the “reason” that our offense is doing well; in fact, I would aver that we only have success when he’s NOT calling plays. As I’ve stated numerous times, I feel that Ben has to overcome opposing defense AND his own offensive coordinator.
PFF was just ripping the Steelers (They are overrated!!!). Their rationale is that Ben is an average QB and that a defense simply cannot carry a team to a Super Bowl.
1) I’m assuming that the guys at PFF never saw the 1985 Bears, the 2000 Ravens, the 2002 Bucs, nor the 2015 Broncos.
2) Ben is better than Jim McMahon, Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, and the last-season of Peyton Manning.

With a real quarterback, they would be 14-0 already and average 50 points per game.
PFF have Daniel Jones ahead of Ben in their grade for the year....
Imagine if Ben was allowed to call plays in Q1 and Q3 (as opposed to only in Q2 and Q4). Ben would be leading the NFL in many categories...Quote:
