The Steelers are just better than the Bengals

Of course they beat us on the field, but they are also drafting and getting better players and have better systems and schemes on the field. Thats what really worries me. Their offensive line was built over the past few years to be one of the best in the NFL, ours has fallen flat on its face. They reloaded at receiver with JuJu, Jesse James, and now Vance McDonald. We have John Ross who has serious durability and ability concerns. Their best offensive player decides he doesnt want to play so they plug in a rookie James Connor who is tearing it up.

Their defense is rounding into form and is taking off...ours is self destructing. Someone in that organization is doing a hell of a job with player personnel and scouting because that team just continues to reload and get it right while we continue to tread water.

This isn't a thread to build the Steelers up, its a thread to compare. The Steelers are going to be REAAAALLY good up until they lose the stability of Ben at QB and even after that im not sure that they don't go out and somehow find another HOF QB to replace him.

To be honest, the Steelers would have incorporated Auden Tate into their offense, and most teams would be concerned about his ability to make plays nine games into the season. Regardless of Tate's deficiencies, they would have found a way to use him by now. The Bengals draft players because they have to it seems....I'm guessing the organization couldn't just skip their pick.?


The Steelers would have gotten rid of Paul Alexander quicker, Bodine.... I can go on and on. The ways the Steelers get their best players the ball is just amazing. Imagine trying to keep up with a guy that may be superior to you as a wideout and running back and trying to defeat the scheme also.... Either you fail to the scheme, or you fail to the player. Give the Steelers Josh Malone, and they would find a way to get him on the field, and they would scheme to get a guy that is 6'2" and runs a 4.3 the ball
