    Four punts, for 47 yards, 30 yards, 50 yards, and 56 yards (and the 30 yard punt was successful because it was downed at the 11 yard line...that was the series where we were briefly within FG range but a sack by Dumervil against Gilbert and then a false start by Gilbert conspired to move us back to where a pooch punt was our best bet).
    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.

          The second one was all Gilbert. Dumerville took a running start on the play and I knew immediately that there would be a sack. Gilby didn't disappoint.

            Positives?

            1) The game is over.

            2) They don't have to play on Sunday...
            Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                  Not a lot of other positives come to mind, but it's good to have a few...
                  Shazier has the ability that Jarvis and Worilds (our other key young guys) don't have. I think Worilds is proving to be somewhat one-dimensional... the biggest thing being that he lacks any nasty (i.e. competitiveness). Jarvis seems to have some of that, but he is not a difference-maker... though he looks like he'll be a good starter (i.e. maybe Gildon).
                  I wasn't hired for my disposition.
