- Tuitt was not as much a no-show as some are saying; frequently double teamed but still with good push to the QB; several times within half an arm's reach of a sack
- Sutton > Burns... I know, not saying much but Sutton had actual passes defensed on Boyd, and Green
- V Williams - covering Boyd, covering Green, covering Mixon downfield... ...why??
- Roethlisberger - still sailing passes high, requiring all the height the receiver had on several passes. This started a couple weeks ago and looks only marginally improved
- Connor - leads the league in broken tackles; #2 in the NFL in rushing TDs (Gurley)
- Drops - some mentioned the Bengals left many plays on the field, otherwise the outcome could have been different... I say meh, the Steelers dropped plenty of their own passes (mostly JJSS), so the net was probably close to even

I thought maybe early in the game Juju dropped those cuz he was nervous about payback for his play on Burfict last year.
We had a couple of dropped INT opportunities as well.
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.
