I'll just bump this every week. It's the same ****, different week. Tomlin is being exposed as Jeff Fisher.

No leadership, defense is just as bad as the offense... and for the love of God, can we get a new punter already.

We've had "The Steel Curtain","Blitzburgh" ... I guess these guys are "The Stale Cupcakes"..or perhaps "The Slag Pile"

Can you imagine what the D would look like if not for a Defensive Savant of Tomlin’s caliber?

There is enough talent to stop the run, but as you said it just isn’t a priority. I don’t understand why they won’t adjust the scheme to focus more on stopping the run.

There isn't enough talent to stop the run or the pass. If TJ isn't in the lineup to wreck plays our defense basically rolls over.

Since we are armchair qbing I think the defense needs to start leal at dt next to cam, ogunjobi at dt then wormley at edge. Start jack and highsmith at lb and two strong safeties and just hit all the gaps… play wormley either standing up or hand down mixing it up and send highsmith every single play at the qb. 5 after the qb every single play hitting all the gaps. we are getting blown off the ball and have been for 3 years now. If getting blown off send more men Send six but never give up the line! They spent all the high draft picks on the offense and the defense shows it. To make things worse the offense is stinking. Harris suks! DJ average at best, claypool no heart, goes on and on. cant even talk about the state of the oline! they let the defense lapse. Watt is not the answer he’s awesome we need him, but teams plan for him the defense needs balance.

"The Steelers actually won the TOP today"
Well, ya. The Bills just threw the ball 50 or 60 yards every time they felt the O-Linemen we're getting tired.
