I'm a little worried about the Steelers this year, as a Broncos fan.

Dec 20th...

It'll be a fun game to watch.

Question for him is, now that most of the guys from the Cowher era are gone, can he get back to the SB

Ben is still great, Bell has developed nicely, they rebuilt the O-Line and Brown is one of the top WRs

but that defense :leon:

That's what I'm worried about too.. This offense is capable of 30ppg if everyone stays generally healthy, but...

Jarvis Jones
Ryan Shazier
Cortez Allen
Shamarko Thomas
Mike Mitchell
^^^ Every single one of these players needs to show more than they did last year or we're going to give up a shyt ton of points.. Not to mention the rookies Dupree and Golson are going to be counted on to contribute as well

not a fair statement when tomlin inherited bills superbowl team
Exactly

It's easy to just look at records from that standpoint and ignore nuances like what you pointed out. There are plenty more too, like the fact that Tomlin has had Ben his entire career, the fact that so many of Tomlin's losses are in games we're heavily favored against the dredges of the league, the fact that he started off hot with established veteran players in their primes and began trending down severely because of his inability to build a defense.. I mean.. like I said in the first post, he earned his extension, but just comparing 8 year records with no deeper analysis is really just empty cheerleading.

Oh. You mean the team that went 8-8 before he arrived?:mjlol:
Dude you and I both know that year was an aberration with Ben's motorcycle accident, Cowher being on his way out, lack of hunger.. That 06 team was generally the same roster that won it all the year before in 05 and then again in 08, so that's a really lazy commentary too
