I dunno...does our defense set scores with turnovers or score any touch downs? If they don't I see
Raiders 20
Steelers 17Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.
Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

I hope that the offense breaks out in this game. If we look like trash against a team that's so far giving up something like 80% completion percentage to WRs than things are going to get ugly (uglier?) around here.Comment

Small sample size but some disturbing info about the Steelers offense is another reason why things might end up looking very ugly tonight.
Despite facing two strong defenses so far the Steelers rank 27th in keeping >5 blockers in to pass block. And we wonder why Pickett is the most pressured?
And just to add to the fun, against the run game, the Raiders have 7 in the box 32% of the time (#2 in the NFL).
The Steelers run zone blocking scheme 81% of snaps this is #1 in the NFL. This despite the fact that OL are struggling to hit their zones.
The Steelers are 31st in blown pass blocking rate (25% of snaps.... horrific).
But oh, it gets better. They are 32nd in blown run block rate at a whopping 40% of snaps.
Don't like that number? OK, 32nd in rush yds before contact at a blazing 0.2 yds/attempt!!!
But wait, there's more! 32nd in the NFL in % of rushes hit at the LOS = 74%.
Anyone thinking this game is in the bag needs to think again. Teams are circling Steeler games on their calendars as a "W".
Yea, they've become that team.

The Steelers have problems that the head coach does not acknowledge.
