    Browns > Steelers

    At the half, Browns have played a better game against Ravens than the Steelers did. How the Steelers lost against what is clearly a poor Baltimore offense is just mind-numbing.

    The Steeler defense did a good job, if not for a 100-yard catch by Wallace. Especially when you consider how many three-&-outs they had to deal with in a row... it was ridiculous.

    Now the Steeler offense? There you have a good argument. He1!, our best players basically crapped the bed. Ben was horrendous, Le'veonran into a stone-wall all day, and AB... the guy who was guarding AB was given a game-ball for what he did.
    I wasn't hired for my disposition.

      Steelers D played really good against the Ravens, if our offense and special teams didn't play so bad, we pobably would of beat them up pretty good.

        We were one Mitchell miss from keeping the Ravens to 0 at the half.

          Mitchell has a total of 10 missed tackles for the season... the secondary as a whole has more than 40. The defense has generally done as expected this season, but it is a far cry from the strong defenses of the past.

          I can't see the Steelers re-upping MM's contract unless he is willing to take a huge haircut. On the otherhand, I'm not sure I see a great replacement on the roster right now either.

            There isn't (a replacement). I shudder to think of Sean Davis being our last line of defense too. Guy has to learn to tackle better, like Mitchell and Burns.

            We'll need to take some of all that money we're reported to have, and maybe a hometown guy like Darrelle Revis will give us a big discount, to end his career with his hometown team, with a need at S, and championship aspirations.

              Sean Davis.... one less missed tackle than Mitchell (9).
