While we certainly needed it and it is very important, I hate the bye week. I had to listen to a double week of how bad the Steelers suck after the Oakland jerkaround session. Here is a couple of points:
-The running game has been bad, but the offense has been excellent and they have been playing without Mendenhall who certainly put himself in a good spot with negotiating!
-Dick LeBeau went from being a genius to old and predictable. SIMPLY WRONG. The Steelers have struggled to generate much of a pass rush and the secondary was awful in Oakland. But I also think having a pair of healthy former Defensive Player of the Years would certainly fix many of the problems. I believe in LeBeau and if you are writing him off, you haven’t watched the Steelers over time. LeBeau is solid and will get us through. Before we write off the defense, let’s see how they do when they have the FULL 11 guys on the field.
-I was very sorry to hear about Chuck Pagano, the Coach of the Colts. While he isn’t Steelers, he is part of the NFL family and we need to keep a good thought for him.
