I feel like it will be different this year with an improved offense, which is why I picked us to win, but I can totally see us going out there and laying an egg. Prime-time games have not been kind to us lately.

Henry, averett definitely out - the only question is probably going to be whether hurst is active or not

On the positive side, it gives Jimmy one less game in which he could get hurt.

True, he’s good for 12 games a season so this might work out quite well for us lol
But, what about the post season

@Lost_In_Translation Our seasons over anyway so I’m not worried

We'll be lucky to win another game all year. 2-12. Tank for Bosa.
And that may not be enough, besides we play 16 games. It’s not the 70s anymore.

2-12-2. Browns tie us twice

We need to scheme an entire games worth of quick separation plays. They will be running man because they are blitzing so much, every player in the secondary is average at best and most are straight up liabilities, the LBs are good blitzers but liabilities in coverage, they will get in joes face all night, you have to be CERTAIN that our wrs get open consistently before the blitz arrives, the way to do that is: bunch formations, TE crossing routes, qb misdirection, and designed dumpoffs or screens. The middle of the field should be wide open all night and give a shitload of YAC room, give the ball to Collins in the passing game for fucks sake.
If we don’t go the extra mile to scheme guys open for quick separation, and just ask them to win 1 on 1 matchups to get open, we will struggle to move against their blitz.

For Sunday game, I'm mostly scared of their TEs and our pass rush
What's a post season?

42-13 Ravens roll on Sunday night.
They're not blitzing that much. If anything they'll keep as much as possible in coverage because they're that bad at it. And even in 7 men drops there are gapping holes, miscommunications and plain lost one on ones. Their safeties are playing too deep and their LBs two shallow, leading me to believe Mark Andrews (and hopefully Hurst) will torch them. Their CB are bad in a lot of categories, and if it's Cover 1 or 3 John Brown and Crab should get a lot of opportunities. I don't think we should play scared and only dial up quick passes. Tampa went play action heavy and it worked very well. So did KC and CLE. Not saying we should keep it one dimensionnal, as long as they don't know what's coming they'll get beat 9/10 so let's have a balanced gameplan with runs, quick passes, screens, draws, play actions and we should have a lot of favourable matchups.

I can’t imagine having a defense that bad and barely doing anything about it? If I were the Steelers I would’ve gone all defense in the draft etc. Chiefs too
Actually I just realized we always have had an offense that bad and didn’t do anything about it for years so I guess I can imagine it

The Chiefs actually went full defense. The Steelers also drafted some. They're just bad evaluators
