1)The Good-When you start the season 0-2 after going 0-4 in the preseason, you start to grasp at straws. Let's see, the Steelers offense scored a touchdown. Ben was only sacked twice as opposed to 5 times in the season-opener. The score was tied 10-10 at the half. The more the losses mount, the harder it is to find some good. I hope next week will give us plenty of good.
2)The Bad-Where do I begin? Well, the defense still has not forced any turnovers and has only recorded 1 sack (in week 1) in 2 games. There were also plenty of missed opportunities with missed tackles. It's funny when the announcers say what a great tackling team the Steelers are as they're whiffing on a tackle. The equipment manager needs to hook up the Steelers with some serious Stick-Em for both the defense and the receivers.
3)The Ugly-There was 10 unanswered points in the second half. The offense was a paltry 3 of 12 on 3rd downs. But what continues to be the ugliest thing about these Steelers is the increasing lack of preparation. Every week Ben and his receivers continue to look like they're not even reading the same playbook, let alone on the same page. And don't forget when Paulson fumbled, the Steelers could have hurried to the line and spiked the ball before a challenge was issued. However, it's difficult to do that when your coaches are trying to send in substitutes to run another play. And we heard all preseason what a great steal Markus Wheaton was for the Steelers yet he can't get onto the field? Are the Steelers cutting of their noses to spite their faces, or what?
Coach Mike Tomlin and QB Ben Roethlisberger have never started 0-2 with the Steelers....until now. How about some accountability and some PED's? Prepare, Execute, Dominate. Get back to playing Steelers football. Get back to playing winning football. Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
