Tomlin took this team to the playoffs...NOBODY with any knowledge of football thought this team would even finish .500 Bell is the MVP but won't win it and it showed just how valuable he is. Steelers will fix that defense this offseason and will wreck shop next season. Offense is set for the next five year just need to get that defense together.

they'll be fine going forward, grab an OT to complete the offense, address secondary heavy in the draft. RB depth is key, not sure why Archer was picked so high when hes basically a gadget player. need 2 real 200 lb backs

gotta stay healthy @ LB, Timmons and Shazier are players. Jones has to step up and I guess replace Worilds. maybe try Spence at the other OLB spot. not as quick as he was before the injury but hes a smart player who can help

Drawing a division team in round 1 sucks.

Tomlin is too blame because they let Blout walk for nothing.
I don't get the "for nothing" part as if they could've got something for him.

Blount was completely out of pocket in Pittsburgh. He wasn't willing to play his role and was vocal/demonstrative with his displeasure. Keeping him there, dissatisfied, could've hurt their chances of even winning division and making the playoffs.

They can't hope to rebuild the defense only through the draft. It takes rookies 2-3 years to do anything in this system and they need an overhaul right now. If Tomlin can't find a way to get young guys on defense ready earlier or find a way to bring in actual QUALITY free agents (no Cam Thomas and Mike Mitchell don't count), he should only have a year or two more.

This team got so much better from the beginning of the season til the end, and missing Bell hurt a lot so I am not as mad at him as I was early in the season. But he's on watch because this team was super bowl ready last week. And someone earlier made a great point, he is regularly outcoached. Harbaugh's team was prepared perfectly for the Steelers offense yesterday. Meanwhile Flacco was throwing to wide open guys all game long.
