Defense A-
Offensive line F
Coaching D-
I hope this can be corrected, but I have to say that my concerns about the line coming into the season are even greater now. That may have been the worst performance by a Steelers oline I've ever seen.
What we did learn is our D is legit...we didnt have Keisel and it didnt seem like they missed a beat. Troy being healthy is huge. I know Westy got injured, but that offense is still dynamic with McNabb and Booker/Buckhalter
No, we didn't learn that our D is legit. You just gave the reason why too. Westy didn't play most of the game. You're kidding yourself if you think that Westy in anything short of the most important player on that team and offense. Westy was only in for 2 drives today and on both of those drives, Philly marched right down the field on our D. Luckily a fumble saved us the 1st time. The 2nd time, Philly scored a TD (and Westy didn't even need to be on the field for it). On top of that, McNabb played hurt for a half and this Eagles team still doesn't have it's 2 top WRs.
What we learned today is that Pitt is not ready to be an elite team. That our Oline, as suspected in the preseason, is simply not good enough to compete with the NFL's top front 7's. This team needs a lot of work if they are to win a playoff game.
