OMG, what exactly did Ben's child have to do with the defense blowing three 4th quarter leads (Three losses) in the seasons first 5 games?
Now I've heard it all. Ben's unborn child is the reason our defense can't hold leads.
Last year it was Arians.
Will it EVER be LeBeau?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................
You keep ignoring the facts.
I'll stick to them.
Six blown 4th quarter leads in 2012, four in losses.
That was supposed to be all Bruce Arians' fault.
But Arians is no longer here.
When does LeBeau's problems, become LeBeau's responsibility?
If only Crash weren't still on ignore...
Who said that? You got slow while you were away. I said I was happy with the defense but would like more pressure-sacks. That would generate more TOs. I put it on the offense and BB. Not converting 3rd downs and redzone scoring. I can't believe in those must win games DL keyed BB helmet and told him Brandon Carr and Reggie Nelson were open. You are right...It is DL fault.
The defense down the stretch gave the Steelers every opportunity to win games.
Did they? Philip Rivers has sucked for 3 years.
Not against LeBeau.
Tony Romo's throws INTs in warm ups.
Not against LeBeau.
The problem LeBeau has is nothing changes in crunch time.
KC has a 4th and 15 down three points. What do we do?
Rush 4, drop 7 in zone, complete, kick a game tying field goal.
Cincy has the ball on our 46 needing a FG to go to the playoffs. What do we do?
Rush 3, drop 8 in zone (AND give Green a free release), complete, kick a GW field goal.
The same problems that used to be Bruce Arians' fault are still going on.
LeBeau is running out of scapegoats. Sooner or later is HAS to come back to him.
Even Ben realizes the offense didn't hold up it's end. The defense certainly wasn't perfect. In fact it was downright bad at the beginning of the year. But then the old man made some adjustments and it played well for the rest of the year. I agree with you that yardage shouldn't be the benchmark of a defense but points should be. We did well in that area ... again.
I really don't blame the offense or the defense for our less than stellar year. I do think we were done in by the lack of cohesion of the offensive line due to injuries. I was excited by the prospect of our starting line at the beginning of the year and that projected starting line never played one game together. I really believe that was our downfall.
As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.
but Go Steelers!!!
So when the offense holds the ball and scores after the defense gives up a lead, the defense gets credit for not giving up more points?
The Steelers were 20th in starting field position in 2012, last season they were 30th.
The Steelers were among the worst teams in the league in forcing turnovers.
Care to re-think that?
