[NorthCoast]

A turn-around in the making...#2 underrated player....

Ya know, it might not be a bad thing that Juju is out this season. Roethlisberger is using multiple weapons to make up for his absence and it's working:

1 Gentry
2 Watt

Imagine the monster deal for a guy even better than Watt.

Nice to see Turner up there. The oline really seems to be coming together.

Wow who here thought Gentry would EVER turn into even a solid backup.

Good point. Gentry's drafting has been brought up a few times over the last couple of years. Good to see something come from him.

Ben Roethlisberger has completed 25.8 percent of his pass attempts of 20 yards or more, the second lowest rate in the league.

Only Jared Goff has been worse on downfield throws through Week 8. Roethlisberger's long-deteriorating arm strength has produced some wobbly, inaccurate floaters on many of his 31 downfield throws this season in a Pittsburgh offense predicated on quick, short passes to Najee Harris, Diontae Johnson, and the team's tight ends. Roethlisberger's downfield passing woes have had an outsized impact on Chase Claypool, he has caught just three of 10 targets over 20 yards downfield for 99 yards and a touchdown through seven games. On Sunday against Cleveland, Claypool saw just one deep shot from Roethlisberger.

We're playing bad teams and taking advantage because of our defense. Period.

Did you just make this up in your head?

The Steelers offense has faced the 9th toughest defensive schedule and the defense has faced the 3rd toughest offensive schedule to date.
