Yeah, forgot about the tie....probably because I consider it the same as a loss. I wanted to cut Nugent after that.....lol.

I do find it amusing that we are either going to be as good if not better than we were last year because people are going to step up, but every time the Steelers lose a starter we predict their overdue downfall. Good ol' homerism! Who knows, maybe they WILL be done for without Heath Miller while our 2nd or even 3rd TE makes us forget Eifert was even relevant (until Eifert comes back and scores a TD or 2 per game again, of course).
Yeah, that was a bit much. The PO game had us without not only Green, but Gresh, and several others. I mean, Rex Burkhead was our #2. Montana probably ain't winning with that. That said, Green missed a few games throughout the season as well, and Mo Sanu was our #1. Not a very likely scenario for success, but we won a few. People bitched, but I saw in Dalton that season, the tangibles that led to what happened in 2015 when he had good talent. I like our chances so long as Green is healthy, and the backfield is producing.
