The Seahawks offense scored only 17 points. They had scores on special teams and defense.

The Rams also scored on special teams.

That's true, however, Nick Foles and the Rams offense looked pretty darn good. Sherman was having some issues and probably should have had 1, if not 2, PIs called on him. Playing defense in the NFL, IMO, is still very difficult, that being said, the Steeler defense has to offer more resistance than they did against the Pats.

Let's be realistic...

There were only a handful of teams (7) that held their opponents to under 20 points yesterday. FACT.

Those games:

1. Buffalo vs. Indy - Buffalo has a great defense. Period. Great against the run and pass. Andrew Luck looked like a rookie until late in the third quarter.
2. Carolina vs. JAX - no commentary needed. JAX sucks bad right now...
3. J.E.T.S vs. Stains - Johnny "Turnover" threw a TD, but, give it away to the JETS twice. Plus, it's the Browns on the first game of the season - they never win on Opening Sunday...
4. Arizona vs. NO - this ain't 2009 - the Saints have 25 brand new players on there roster this year and it shows.
5. Denver vs. Rats - No offense TD's scored by either team. Overall, both defenses better than the Steelers, but, it's gonna take an offense to keep pace with Big Ben and crew.
6. Bungals vs. Raiders - It didn't help that Carr got hurt - plus it's Oakland - everyone wins there except the Steelers.
7. Tennessee vs. Bucs - Dick LeBeau took advantage of another rookie QB. Advantage - Dick LeBeau.

I still believe that the Steelers need to make an AGGRESSIVE move and go after Kam Chancellor - he's worth next year's #2

Was just looking at the Saints situation. Their Defensive Backfield seems ******. Lewis had surgery this month and will be missing 4-6 weeks, 3rd round draft pick Williams on season ending IR, FA Safety pick up on Reserve/PUP list. They started Brandon Browner and a CFL guy at CB yesterday, I think.
