Fuck yea Minkah provides so much stability to the defense that they don't have. Their biggest flaw is at safety. You saw what RW was able to do with a 4th Rd TE to this defense? The Steelers safeties are putrid. Does it make them a playoff team? Debatable. Does it give them a better chance to succeed defensively? Oh hell yea.

Welp... Only way to "move forward" now is to admit defeat and dive headfirst into rebuild mode. And that starts with getting a new coaching staff top to bottom. Nothing can happen until that occurs. AR2 doesn't have the marbles though so it's going to be a long year. 3-4 wins at best looking at the schedule.

top 8 pick most likely

Top 8 pick that we traded away to Miami?

Yep. Best case they finish in the 10-15 range.

what really was disappointing was rudolph. I know the 49'ers can bring heat. But even when he had ample time, he just was off. Like not even close

I think Pittsburgh still has too much talent to finish in the bottom 5-10 teams in the league..... That said, was it irresponsible to trade a 1st round pick to Miami in a year where you are playing with an unknown at QB and have already dropped your first two? I mean, if that's a top 10 pick, it's a bad deal, right?

That's definitely a bad deal if it's a top 10 pick. Even if it's a top 15 pick it's a bad deal in my opinion.

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise we don't have a 1st round pick. We suck at drafting in the first round lately anyway aside from Bush, Watt and Shazier. First time since 67 that we won't have a first round pick.

Yep. It's a coin flip for the Steelers in the 1st round!

2019 - Devin Bush
2018 - Terrell Edmunds
2017 - TJ Watt
2016 - Artie Burns
2015 - Bud Dupree
2014 - Ryan Shazier
2013 - Jarvis Jones
2012 - David DeCastro
2011 - Cam Heyward
2010 - Maurkice Pouncey
2009 - Ziggy Hood
2008 - Rashard Mendenhall
2007 - Lawrence Timmons

7/13 drafts under Tomlin were good players. 54% success rate lol.

Through week 3:

 

[steelparrot]

Yep, best case scenario we end up at 8-8 or something.

We do have ABs dead cap space coming off after the season, so at least we shouldnt be cap screwed to boot.

Add Dupree's $9m cap hit that SHOULD be gone next season... Worst case they resign Dupree for mid-tier and his cap hit still gets reduced. Hoping they just let some other team overpay.

I said lately, as in the last 6-7 years, not his entire career.

Fits the narrative better.

 

[Yo Tee]

Fits the narrative better.

Fits the facts better as well. First 6 years, drafting in the first was really good. Last 7 haven't been that good.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

So looking ahead... Am I crazy to think this team could suddenly be 5-4, going into 3 straight divisional games in weeks 11-13? All 3 of which are against the Browns (2x) & Bengals.

And 5... 5!!! out of the next 6 games are home games... Only 1 being out of conference.

7 - bye
8 - vMIA
9 - vIND
10 - vLAR
11 - @CLE
12 - vCIN
13 - vCLE

Call me crazy gentlemen... But I'm back on the koolaid. It's full of piss & vinegar, but koolaid nonetheless.
