We were 8- and couldnt beat Miami or San Diego at home but we would throw 5 TDs on Seattle? Have we thrown 4 TDs on any team this year?
Twice, in a 3 week span (which lead to Ben being named offensive player of the month for November).
In a 55-31 loss in New England on 11-3-13, Ben's stat line was 28-48 for 400 yards, 4 TD's and 2 INT's.
In a 37-27 win vs. Detroit on 11-17-13, Ben's stat line was 29-45 for 367 yards, 4 TD's and 0 INT's.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
You're thinking of 'old' Roethlisberger, and I agree.
But I would really like to see how the 'new' Roethlisberger does in the big game. The one that is willing to take what a defense gives him but also is looking for the big play on every down. THAT would be tough to defend. Manning is all about pre-snap reads. Roethlisberger isn't.
Steelers Draft 2015
Rd 1: Devante Parker - WR/ Kevin Johnson - CB
Rd 2: Danielle Hunter -OLB
Rd 3: Steven Nelson - CB
Rd 4: Derron Smith - S
Rd 5: Henry Anderson - DE
Rd 6: Wes Saxton - TE
Rd 7: Deon Simon - DT
with the right personnel decisions yea.. and, as has been mentioned... we will have to find a few of those pieces via free agency... with immediate impact potential (on the defensive side of the ball). I doubt there will be two runs (before ben is through) if we try to address those needs solely by the draft.
