The Good, The Bad and THE KINGS OF THE NORTH

Steelers could be on the decline. Big Ben is old and fragile. Bell will be gone. They have a great offense but something is wrong in Pittsburgh. You have a 7-2-1 record and you collapse and miss the postseason. I wonder if coaching is the issue there or if their defense is bad?

The defense is bad, without question. They certainly have a great offense but they are constantly playing down to their competition and that’s a coaching issue. Last year they win a bunch of games with a last second Bosley fg or by less than 3 pts. This year they lost those games

Tbh i really wanna see a Texans Ravens AFC champ game. Deshaun vs Lamar. That would be wild. Watson is one of my fav players in the league so id be happy win or lose.

After seeing baker tonight, I think it’s imperative that we keep adding to the defense. This division will likely come down to ravens and browns for the foreseeable future, and baker wants to scramble and launch it on us, pass rush and speedy safeties are crucial now more than ever.

My son and I just KNEW that he wanted to win the game by throwing for a TD and not settle for a FG.

My son said; "Dad! All the Ravens defense needs to do is stay alert cause Baker wants to win this game to show everyone that he's the man! He's greedy and the Ravens defense needs to use that greed against him to win this game!"

So, I agree with you 100%. We need fierce pass rushers and more quick and speedy as well as ball-hawking safeties.

It’s everything. Tomlin is a garbage tier coach who lets the nuts run the asylum, everyone in Pittsburgh is more concerned with CAUSING the win rather than actually winning, a bunch of egomaniacs is what they are, and divas. I’d be shocked if Ben can put together another quality season, Bell is gone, browns play took a big dip and his antics won’t fly forever, the OL will start to fall due to contracts, and they’ve had one good defender drafted in the last 5 years in watt and a major bust at every other high pick on defense, quite possibly they’ve been the worst defensive drafting team in the league.

There is no way the Steelers do anything more than continue the up and down bullshit, they’ll get hot for a streak every year but will never get out of their own way long enough to be a real threat.

Big Ben won't win another title in his career. To his credit he got them there 3 times. Thank God my team beat him.
 
While I don’t want to distract everyone from their Marty effigy burning party but it might be worth seeing something positive about our 1st year D coordinator. Love this piece about that fateful final set of downs:

I tell you what. If the Ravens win next week I think they can go to the Super Bowl. They can beat New England on the road in Foxboro. You guys have the defense to take Brady down. Your offense could put up lots of points on the Pats too. The same goes with a road game in Arrowhead against KC. You guys had them beat there a couple weeks ago. I know the 2nd time around you can beat them. They don't have Hunt so that's a big loss for them. If the Pats or KC get beat I know the Ravens could easily beat Houston or Indy too. A matter of fact you guys could beat anyone out there.
