Pinpoint your team's reason for success/failure this far in the season

Howie's complete and utter purge of anything Chip Kelly which unfortunately  must of included  the Smoothy Machine and Sports Science department because we haven't been a Healthy Team Since.

I'd love to know the totals the past 3 years worth of games missed by not only all injured Eagles but Key Starters? Bet it's up there.

Mines slightly different for the Saints.

success: Phenomenal drafts over the past few seasons

failure: Brees getting hurt against the Rams (that week only)

Yea, we’ve drafted a ton of starters and 3-4 all pro talents in the last few years.

Failure (since there has been more of it):

OC - he is the #1 reason for the failure to this point. Not establishing the run is the real reason to be more specific

Injuries, but everyone deals with that, so it's more of a cop our excuse more than anything, but  can cause adjustments that hinder success temporarily

OL looked bad for the beginning of the season as did ben who looked worse than last season when he was colour-blind often

WR's dropping passes never helps either

Opposition were all playoff teams early on, and combined with the above, it was almost unwatchable .

Defensively, Bush wasn't starting or out there all game at the beginning, but now he is.  The defensive  play wasn't as good either

 

Success:

Establishing the run helps, OL started to play better or to what their capability appears anyways

QB play and play calling . Still could improve of course

Secondary playing better (finally after all these years)

Pass rush appears nearing legit for a change

 

We as steeler fans never know what to expect week to week from a Tomlin's teams.

Failure - not taking the Bucs seriously and a missed FG in Seattle

OL play has been shaky, but through 8 games now we've allowed 12 sacks - that's good considering we're on our 3rd LG.

Glad people are sleeping on us right now - Niners probably win the West at this point, but eventually the luck will catch up to Seattle and the playoff field should reveal itself as Niners, Packers, Saints, Cowboys or Eagles, Vikings, Rams

What? The Patriots still have one of the most well coached O-Line's in the league. Is this just a reference to injuries?

They're well coached, but the ends are like turnstiles. Newhouse is a bum and Cannon has dropped off. Two crucial injuries as well. Cannot run the ball and the ends don't hold up for long
