Train back on the tracks.

Man, a really enjoyable Steelers game, feels like that's been a while.

The Steelers pass defense is still a train wreck, and Minkah is a very expensive paperweight. But man is it enjoyable to outscore a good team (and make no mistake, the Bengals are much better than their record). Tomlin was 100% correct on moving to Russ Wilson, the critical decision of the season.

So who is that other than Detroit? People need to stop trying to be miserable. It was a good win despite some bad breaks. Enjoy it.
Philly qualifies as well I suppose

As someone said earlier, what happens against a team with a good offense but also a decent defense?

Probably bad things but I will enjoy today, and maybe have a little hope that they can elevate. There's a lot of ways for a good defence to tear it all to pieces, but there is some genuine quality.

Ok one more weird stat.. AKA the Bengals effect ™️



Even beyond just being bad, the Bengals defence matches up really badly with the Steelers i.e. they can't stop the run. I'm really curious to see what that team does about it next off-season.

In terms of winning games, I will have ambiguous feelings if/when Harris leaves. In terms of him being a dude and highlights tho, it'll suck.

Outstanding game from Wilson. He was really hitting people in stride today and also reduced the time he held onto the ball in the pocket. Must have been seeing the field extra well given that he connected with 10 different receivers!

Harris had a really good game as well. Reminded me of his rookie season when he was a more equally balanced receiving RB. No reason he shouldn’t be getting 4 or 5 passing targets/game.
