FIRST OFF I NEVER LIKED ARIANS.Secondly i never made an excuse for the defense on the Flacco drive i said you win some you lose some that's far from an excuse.If you read what i said it says almost every defense .it's my opinion,you have your opinion.that's the spirit of these boards no need for put downs.I can tell you like Ben by your screen name i like ben too but even he took the blame for the loss and one last question just how many points is the defense allowed to give up cause 25 isn't a lot
old and slow the average age of the defense is 26 that's not old

And if you're only hope on offense is having Ben bail you out in the last minute, then you win some and lose some. Lost one on sunday night, won a lot before.
No Harrison, and probably no Troy for the Jets game. LeBeau tends to coach scared and less aggressively when Troy's out. This defense is shot right now. The offense needs to get off to a faster start. They need to establish Ben early on and not one of the RBs. They need to let him win early so he doesn't have to bail the team out in the end.
LeBesu is too old yo coach... I realize this may make people upset, but it is evident so far...
"HAIL TO PITT"
The schemes used are bland, overused and/or too passive. Lebeau has done well, but in my opinion he has become complacent in his calls. It's time for some fresh, aggressive coaching. Do not expect much in the game against the Jets. The Steelers will rarely blitz, if at all. Expect to see the CBs 8 to 10 yards off the scrimmage. The offense needs to come up big.
Also, is the talent really there? Have the Steelers done well in replenishing players from the Cowher era? Has anyone been impressed with Hood, Timmons, Heyward etc...? I won't bring up Woodley because people are way too sensitive about him.
I always feel that after that win, the Steelers have thrived on winning by messing up just a little less than the other team. Think about all of our division games with teams like the Browns and Bengals over the years. We never handle them like we should. Games against teams like the Ravens often come down to a single mistake, but common' the Browns and Bengals? I can only recall a handful of games where the Steelers fully handled a team they should have. I think it is the consensus here this team should be scoring 30 points a game, regardless of the opposing D. I am beginning to be convinced that the key to beating the Steelers is just don't make a mistake.
