    Yep. And that's why we are where we are.

    Two 1000 yard WRs, 1200 yard rusher, Ben threw 26 TD passes in 15 games, and the offense was in the top 10.

    But because nobody dare bash Dick LeBeau's precious 4th quarter defense, the offense got ripped for not making the playoffs.
    Last season, the defense lead the entire league in points against, total yards against, and passing yards against.

    When was the last time the offense lead the league in anything?
    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.

            And yet they still got torched by Joe Flacco and in OT by Tim Tebow.

            Two examples, how long was the Texans scoring drive to open that game? How can our offense score when they don't see the field for 11 minutes?

            Example #2, how long was the STEELERS scoring drive to open that game against the Pats? Now, did our defense "stop" Brady, or did our OFFENSE keep him off the field?

            I look at WHEN they give up points. Because the offense keeping this defense off the field with TOP has always been a key to their success.

                So Art whines about the running game after 2009 because injuries were blamed for the defense?

                If you say so.

                    Art whined about the running game because it wasn't effective...it still wasn't in 2011...

                    Separate issue from the defense...

                        So a 1200 yard rusher from a guy who didn't start until the 4th game of the year wasn't effective in 2009?

                        The highest YPC in 10 SEASONS as a team in 2011 wasn't effective either?

                        Again, if you say so.
