    Re: Steelers woes continue

    as far as wr/cb depth I suspect the Stoolers will grab some of the last cuts from other teams.
    I think the big question with them is how long the QB holds up. one (genuine) injury to him and I think they're .500 or worse.

    Re: Steelers woes continue

    PSU's love and affection for the Steelers continues.

    It isn't their birth right to be good every year, and they have had an unbelievable amount of busts recently. This is a fact. Their past accomplishments mean jack shit for 2012.

    For a team that doesn't sign free agents, that is a problem that will catch up with you eventually.

    Like right now, when injuries pop up and you have no one to replace hurt players. If you would actually take an objective look at the state of their 53 man roster, you would see what I am talking about.

    Hell they couldn't even find more than 4 corners, or 4 wide receivers to make the team this year, and those are the only positions they HAVEN'T had injuries at.

    PSU, you are a betting man why not a friendly wager on the Steelers winning 12 games again like I am guessing you are predicting ? Pm me if interested.

    It ain't happening.

    Re: Steelers woes continue

    Hate to see that to anyone or any team. We want to beat them at their best so their inbreds won't have any excuses.

    With all the injuries around NFL since camp opened and
    just think about when the season really begins, it's
    literally gonna come down to the last man standing.

    Piss has had good drafts. Pouncey was a great pick and made pro bowl and Jen fell to them at #9 I
    think it was when SD picked Rivers. I thought
    that was crazy at the time and thought Jen
    was the best QB in that draft.

    They seem to counter Ozzies moves. We draft
    Oher, they draft Pouncey and so on.

    Just like when they pick Mendenhall and Limas Sweed in 08, while we pick up Flacco and Rice in the same draft. Yeah, Ozzie is always getting countered.

    I strongly disagree with the medicore TE duo... what exactly is that based on?

    Why would I do that when I could get 10 or 10.5 with Vegas?

    You mistake "respect" with "love." Many fans do.

    Probably with the fact that by every single simple and advanced metric, either one of them is middle of the pack? Maybe they break out this year, but I'm definitely not going to just assume that they do just for the sake of inflating how good our drafts have been.

    That's a great post. I can relate..

    At least the speculation is over and it all begins this week. It is easy to write off the Steelers on paper but hard to do it on the field.

    As far as drafts go, they still own the best record since the merger and that covers 43 years of football. The success started when Dan Rooney took over operations fron his dad.

    One of the sports reporters they had on one of the 105.7 shows said he doesn't doubt what the Ravens and Steelers do until proven otherwise: both teams have earned the benefit of the doubt.

    I think he's right. I think the Steelers will be in the mix for the division again, and so will we. Cinncinnati had an exciting season last year, but they usually follow those with a down year. They're young and don't have much behind A.J. Green to scare an opposing defense, and while their defense isn't bad, it isn't dominant, either.

    Every one? I know pitta was over 70% for his catch rate which i thought was near the top of the league last year. Not saying that makes him a top TE and certainly doesnt account for blocking which a te requires as well but thats at least a sign that with more opportunities and the same success he theoretically could be a top receiving TE. Or in other words was a good TE in his limited opportunities.

    I think you are right. The Bengals have done enough to earn respect and I think they will be a tough out. They have some weak spots. I think another side is that they have to convince themselevs that they are winners and that is a ceiling teams need to break through.

    I meant overall. I admit there are things they do very well and I'm not saying they suck. But by themselves, neither are anything more than average NFL talent. Together they're an above avg TE duo compared to most of the rest of the league's 2 TE sets. But neither is a stand-out and most NFL teams don't rely on their second TE to do anything more than specialize in blocking and come in on heavy packages.
