The LBs don't look too swift. Missing gaps, missing tackles, not much pressure...
What exactly was the game plan? Was it more throw it up and pray?

Lemme guess, James Harrison and running the ball? That is apparently like snake oil - cures everything.

It can't hurt. In the past it has helped. Let me guess, keeping the status quo cures everything? Praying is the best offense, right?
I remember people saying the same thing about Harrison when he left. Funny how the attitude and demeanor of the defense changed when he came back. But you are right, keep Harrison inactive all year. That will surely fix everything.
Dupree looked like complete crap. Has this guy ever been a game changer yet? He is really filling those gaps. I recall him slowly trotting after the Bears RB went down the sideline. No husstle at all. But that's ok, we need more Woodleys on the defense. I guess his fifth year is when he will break out.
I guess you see the LBs playing outstanding while I see them playing sub-par.

Nope. I've repeatedly pointed out the less than stellar LBer play. But a front 7 of HOFers wouldn't make much of a difference when the QB scores 14 points for the other team. Then gives the ball away 3 more times.
Four Bette could've gained zero yards and the JAGs scored 0 points on offense and the Steelers still would've lost.
But Dupree and Watt over Harrison is still really worth diving into.

I would like to see Harrison play more, especially in place of Dupree. Dupree is struggling and it's his 3rd year.
Williams isn't doing so great either at ILB. But I wouldn't replace him with Matakevich. I would like to see Matakevich on the field for 4 or so plays. Let's see how slow he is compared to Williams. He seems to have good instincts, but that all remains to be seen. Shazier looks skinnier this season. He is fast, but his tackling leaves a lot to be desired and he isn't really strong against the blocks. Hard to tell though from just watching the game once.
The Steelers will face a good QB for the first time next week. It's going to be tough
