ya I knew McCoy starting wasn't a "recipe for disaster" as some might have thought. even though they got pounded on the scoreboard, he still had some decent drives and completed a bunch of short passes against the best D in the division and maybe the league. It's only going to get easier for him now, too bad he plays for Browns lol

Id say Big Ben gets and A- to me. He had 1 pick in his first game back, I feel that's pretty damn good. He walks away with 3 TD's and 250 yds. Also, I agree with the poster who mention Randle El and PR. He is muffing the punts and I dont feel safe or comfortable with him back there. Thats pretty much the only thing I disagree with Tomlin or the Steelers on. Put on of our young WR back there.

Totally agree with your assessment of the secondary. Apparently the Steeler's pass defense is ranked 23rd according to NFL.com--1st against the run and 23rd against the pass? That won't work for long.

No it won't.
