Re: Again I Say: Why Aren't the Steelers Running a 4-3 Defense?

Short answer, we will stick with 3-4 because historically our 3-4 base has been good/excellent (haven’t seen 2025 numbers). Our 4-2 is/has been bad, which from my read you attribute to chasing 3-4 appropriate personnel. For that, my general comment would be that we should target personnel to field t...

Re: While We Wait For the Icy Hot Bowl, Jordan Reid's (ESPN) first mock draft

Even if rodgers plans to come back (after saying he expected 2025 to be the last year), rd1 qb is the obvious direction. And i’d guess rodgers would be fine with it (more so than the Love pick).

Re: Looks like we lost on the Pickens trade

I hated (/hate) the trade, but in fairness I think it likely that it was communicated that Pickens was 100% holding out the full season if it got to that point.

So i still hate the trade, but on a basis of not wanting to respond to disgruntled players by giving them what they ask for.

Take out all of Ben's saving his ass, games... and that number is much more "normal"

Without Ben, Tomlin is a failure.
Tomlin at 32-23 post-ben; belichick went 29-38 after brady left.

It’s certainly been painful to watch steeler games the past few years, but it’s been 10-7ish.

Re: Tomlin's record in 1 possession games

For a guy that supposedly mismanages end of games, he (1) never loses a game where gets a reasonable lead (2) has the best record ever in 1-score games (3) does a fair job coming from behind late as well, even without HoF QB play. Worth noting that one way to get a great record in 1-score games is t...

they looked nothing like the steelers. Throwing over the middle, targeting our #1 receiver repeatedly, run up the middle not getting stuffed. Like opposite day or something.

Offensive Talent Really Doesn’t Shine On Crappy Teams

On september 27, 2025, we have seven 3-win nfl teams: Indy, Buf, LAC, Phi, Sea, SF, and TB. Lot of good offenses among them, tho SF has struggled a bit with their QB down and McCaffrey having to carry a heavy load. I’m a bit entertained that in 2022, there was a September 19 game between NYG and CAR...

Re: Steelers-Pats last thoughts

2-high has been a more common base look in recent years, and i don’t know why someone would look at the 31st-in-the-nfl rushing attack and think ‘we’ve got to do what it takes to stop that’.

We need to be able to throw against single high. Pats lost because of fumbles.

Re: Texans Bucs strategy dilemma

I think going down at the 1 foot line gives better chance of winning, but that’s not what i want my player focused on there. If it occurs to you before scoring, great. If your mind is focused on not fumbling, even better.
