I thought they would score much more on our D and now see this game as a misleading result that could affect us going into next weeks game. Injuries can really take a toll on a team and unfortunately it's the falcons turn for this. No fan likes when this happens, but most experience this eventually. Maybe this game will wake up the falcons, think positive Steeler defense is top in pressures ( through week 4) so it is not surprising that they got some pressure. I was surprised how well Edmunds played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know he has hands and can run like a RB, so we just need to find a way to repeat all that 25 minutes ago, warfelg said: We were also one of the teams with the highest blitz rates. thanks If we trade for Graham and Adeyini returns, that could change for the better.

I know, but it is still simple stuff like tackling. This is by far the worst performance of the Dan Quinn era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for Ben being the most accurate he has been according to him back in the summer. He seems to find everyone else at a better rate for some reason, is it him or the WR or possibly good coverage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rivers Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 @JLambert58 good one , I watched a Troy highlight clip the other day, there will never be another Troy thats for sure. Unreal. I want the OL to be serious these next few games and let Connor get the yards and TD's and especially the GL leap which was like walter payton . We don't see that too much anymore do we? If connor has a few more nice games , Defences will have to adjust like they did with Bell . Maybe Bell and Connor will split snaps for a while if Bell returns. If Connor is better, leave him out there and Bell can preserve his health from the sidelines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell will have to earn his time back while he gets back in football shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hoping Ben turns the corner like he did last year after the Jacksonville debacle. If he does, they need to make sure Ben gets plenty of playing time in the preseason. I dont care how old he is or how long he has been around....Ben has proven that he needs those reps. Looking good in training camp doesnt mean squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKSteeler Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 If Ben doesn't start playing lights out, this team is done for. They have one of the toughest remaining schedules in the league. Every team in the division can match up against them. These next few weeks are going to define the season. Three straight divisional games when they're already 0-2, and then Carolina and Jacksonville. The good news is those latter games may not matter. If they don't come out and put their stamp on the division this week, they're done. The weakest teams on the schedule are Denver in Denver and Oakland in Oakland. Not places they traditionally play well. They had better hope they righted things this past week whatever the issues were. I'm not sure the Steelers are even as talented as a lot of the teams they're going to face. This is a must win game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Ben does not practice seriously enough to just turn on the talent. Too many days off. Not enough time working with new receivers. He will work himself into shape but as @CKSteeler said, come November, it might be too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
