Yeah this team is not good. The only spit take is they thought they we a RB away from taking Ben back to the SB which is a joke.

Yup, the defense has been exposed, getting gashed in the run game, poor tackling and secondary gets shredded constantly......letting up 41 points b2b weeks is not on a rookie RB......And Ben is on fumes at best......

The best pick in that draft was Freiermuth.
Talent wise not but functional need for this team he was the best.
Note: when I say need I am going on who they actually drafted vs who they should have drafted.
yep. agree. I didnt see that coming too.....didnt think he was even on the radar

That pick six shows how much Ben thinks he is still in his late 20’s or early 30’s. We all saw Manning, Brees and Brady adjust for age, if Ben could he might still produce.

Outside of Cam they are playing trash at DL due to injuries and Tuitting.

CF is trash due to Schobert and Bush (especially) just not being good.

It's a critical weakness for the defense.

It's a shame, with Cam having such an amazing year, that his efforts are being wasted. If he had some help, think of how much more disruptive he'd be.

Outside of Watt, the Steelers have shown they are bad at evaluating 1st round Defensive talent. Time to look at the people who are pumping these players so hard.

Devin Bush
Terrell Edmnds
TJ Watt
Artie Burns
Bud Dupree
Ryan Shazier
Jarvis Jones

Not a good hit rate. And that was 7 of the last 8 guys.

There wasn't a moral victory to be had in this game. So my streak is officially over, someone else can start the week 13 thread. :D

Maybe they need to just start trading away their 1st Rd pick for defensive guys trapped on other shitty teams.

That worked to fix the secondary.

3 of the 4 starters during the best years came from other teams. And the 5th, Hilton was a FA.

I think we all would want Wilson but knowing the FO/Tomlin they won't spend that much. They put way too much stock in their failed draft picks.

Wilson is exactly the kind of QB that Canada needs for his scheme.
Wilson needs to play consistently for a whole season. Gis last 3-4 years everyone pumps him as elite, and he is for 5-6 games. Then he massively falls off. Now injury and not playing well….
