I don't don't know... My respect for Lebeau leads me believe Gay was like most first year DB's in our scheme, dazed and confused and always a step behind. Maybe I'm a dreamer though....Originally Posted by grotonsteel

I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.
"Our head coach has failed to win a playoff game for seven years in a row. His game day strategy, culture of divas, in game decisions, clock management, player evaluation, hires, and affinity with sub par starters at RB, P, and OL are holding the Steelers back. That standard remains the standard"
I have been baptized in lake Minnatonga like in Purple Rain... I skipped rocks and ate fish from the River Ohio as a youth... I wallked the windy north side for 3 hours before realizing there was a bus strike. I also endured the Steelers in the 80's.Originally Posted by Oviedo

Of course it is Bruce Arians fault.Originally Posted by SteelAbility

Well, I don't see anything about Bruce Arians in there. :POriginally Posted by Oviedo
I do fault Arians for failure to get a TD on the opening drive with 1st AND GOAL FROM THE F^!$%$!@#$!#ing 1. All you need is 9 inches per play ... 9 INCHES PER PLAY. Instead we got cute with handoffs giving the D a chance to get in the backfield when all we needed was sneak, sneak, sneak, score.
Are we really still talking about this?

In other news... or in Cheater news.. I just heard a pod cast where a guy ask:
How can we think the Pats* D will turn around if Seau is your LB?
I thought it was funny...

Fix the turnover ratio and we will be in the playoffs once again.
We were 27th in takeaways per game and 21st in turnover margin/game (-0.2) vs last season when we were 4th (1.4/game) and 5th (+0.5). And it wasn't because the offense gave it away more this season (almost the same as last on giveaways), it was on the D.
There was more to it than that. We were terrible on preventing third down conversions - 28th in the league, in fact. I'm also surprised nobody has mentioned that our pass defense was ranked 16th this season as opposed to 1st from '08.Originally Posted by NorthCoast
I agree. I am not expecting us to be the D we were in '08 but if we are 1/2 that good, I think we will be fine.Originally Posted by SteelTorch
