Lack of Defensive Identity

Talented enough to be competitive with most anybody for atleast the first half or so of the game, and that's not what I saw yesterday. The game was over by the first half, you know like back in the "early years" with David Carr. That's how far below the Steelers talent our talent level looked yesterday IMO.

My problem is in 6 years of existence we do not have one area - offensively or defensively - that is a strength. You'd think during 6yrs. of drafting and FA you'd be able to build one unit (OL, RB, WR, DL, LB, etc.) that is strong. There is not one unit that the opposition fears. Mario and (arguably) AJ are the only players on the team that people need to pay attention to. That's sad.

I hope they can turn it around. They have got to win this Baltimore game.

The lack of tackling you can blame on the players. The lack of a reasonable gameplan is and will always be the province of the coaches. The game plan, or lack of, was an abomination. This is Kubiak's team, it is Kubiak's fault. Fire richard smith today and elevate Bush to be the DC. On offense........well he and Shanny's kid better get their s**t together in a hurry.
