I really don't blame anyone, the Dalton injury really hurts. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I feel like our inability to run the ball last week is a huge red flag. Meanwhile the Steelers are arguably the best team in the AFC at this point, after beating 2/3 top teams in the conference in back to back weeks.
I know many of you'd like to see me jump of the ledge, but if anybody has a positive spin on where we're at by all means share.
POSITIVE FACTS: DEFENSE: we are ranked depending on your source in top 3 defenses in the league.. .we have actually improved in Defense since our 8-0 start.. getting Burfict back. Another positive spin is even in the Pittsburgh game, we help Ben without a TD, what team has done that lately ?
Also I would add playing 3-3 in last 6 games is stumbling into the playoffs right now especially since we have much more injuries since 8-0 start.
