It's the defense that I don't see improving much. When we finally play an actually good offense, the result could be really ugly.
    Agree. The errors were execution on offense but saw same things as you. Saw a defense that has no clue whatsoever except to run the same template they have for years.

      The Ravens have their offensive coordinator for the first season and he already makes it look like he's been with his team more than Haley has been with the Steelers. This is officially my first Haley knock.

        Unless you have Brown or Bell in a fantasy league.......you might as well stop there.

        In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

          Kubiaks offense looked like garbage last week against the Bungles. Which makes it doubly frustrating.

          I'm not even angry. It’s just depressing to watch. This is not the Steelers I know. You get no happiness from watching them.

            Sucks seeing Brown disappear in the second half of games.

            And they arent throwing to bell enough, not that ben could hit anyone last night anyway

              I have some positives.

              We all expected them to win this game, but realisitcally baltimore at home is tough and they were coming off a loss. The run defense played very poorly again but maybe mccullers will be getting some reps coming up now.

              The whole team isnt getting any pressure, but jarvis jones has been a force in the run game....he NEEDs to step up and start pressuring the QB but hes one of the best run defenders on the team.

              Ben took that shot from Upshaw and couldnt hit anyone all night....but i thought the commentators had a good point, QBs are sore after the first game after not getting hit for 8 months. Its tough playing on a thursday, but that hit to the chest was tough on him you could tell. Now they get 10 days of rest.

              With Thomas and keisel playing so poor we should get to see Tuitt get some serious reps in the coming weeks.

                Both on Ben, he had time, he opted to try and make a play and was sacked. Gilbert still played poorly, but in each instance Ben was hanging in the pocket to try and make a play. He could have thrown each into the cheap seats and go back to the huddle for the next play.

                  Who better? It's easy to say this guy is bad and that guy us bad, you need a solution, the Steelers don't have one, so Keisel is the solution.

                      Another positive:

                      I HATED the bell pick when it happened even though it was pretty obvious they were targeting him. Thought he was big and soft and didnt finish runs. I absolutely love him now. He is just flat out nasty, hes patient on the inside zones, he can break tackles, hes a top notch receiver but oh my god, his footwork....can stop on a dime and break it to the outside with no problem at all

                        Bell has played great this year. Antonio is a stud. Good to see Wheaton getting involved. Shazier has made a few mistakes, but also shown that he's going to be really special.

                        Not a lot of other positives come to mind, but it's good to have a few...

                                It would appear that weve actually found one.
