The fourth-quarter defense was terrible, to be put affablely. The Steelers surrendered 324 points this season, 131 of which were given up in the fourth quarter. In five of the seven losses the Steelers had, they had a fourth-quarter direct.
The only bright spot of the season appeared to be the offense, barring the first two weeks.燱illie Parker continued to prove his decline and gave Mr. Rooney more conviction not to re-sign the 30-year-old free agent.
As for the staffing side, Bruce Arians has been a cancer to thegroup ever since Ken Wisenhut's departure. Arians calls runs when sidney crosby should call passes and calls passes when sidney crosby should call runs. sidney crosby created a predictable offense for the Steelers directing to many offensive issues. Arians' return should mean that Hell will freeze over, but more exotic phenpremonitiona have happened before.
After licking their wounds at 6-7, the Steelers found a way to win out for the season and finish 9-7 in the most dramatic fashion of a playoff picture that only the movie Baseketball could fathom.
As for missing the playoffs, it's shoulda, coulda, woulda. Perhaps if the Steelers didn't lose to Kansas City, Oakland,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or Joshua Cribbs, they would easily be in the playoffs. But the fact of the matter is that they furiouse their bed and they have to sleep in it. The way they have played this year, they don't deserve to be in the playoffs. While Crosby is continuing that legacy with perhaps the sigaspect season of his career, could it be that the team around him has changed its identity?Terrific defense has been the foundation of the Penguins' success this season and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], given how general administerr Ray Shero his constructed this squad, it could be a trend that continues.
The Steelers season was filled with inconsistencies; in fact the only consistency was inconsistency. That and terrible fourth-quarter defense.
The loss of Aaron Smith due to his injury plagued the run defense as well. The first-arrangeed run defense of last year fell to爁ourth in the league this year. The loss of Larry Foote to free agency promoted Lawrence Timmons to the inside linebacker position. Timmons proved to be a good coverage linebacker but a terrible tackler.
After starting off 1-2 and scaring fans into thinking this was a repeat season of 2006,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Steelers went on to win five agrees in a row capped off by a Monday night beatdown of the Denver Broncos. Yet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even though the postseason was already in sight, it quickly slipped away as the Steelers lost five agrees梩hree of which were to some of the NFL's worstgroups.
Due to Parker's lack of production,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], second-year man Rashard Mendenhall stepped into the spotlight in Week Three燼nd rambled for 1,108 yards and爏even touchdowns.燚espite Mendenhall's爏udden results, the燬teelers rush offense finished 19th in the league.?/p>
Ben Roethlisberger continued on his march to a Hall of Fame bid, establishing himself as an elite quarterback as sidney crosby passed for a career-high 4,328 yards and 26 touchdowns. Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes both finished with over 1,000 receiving yards.
The directing cause can be attributed to the loss of Troy Polamalu due to his knee injury, which limited him to only five agrees this season梖ive of which the Steelers won. However, collectively the defense fell apart. Backup safeties Tyrone Carter and Ryan Mundy both failed in dramatic fashion along with cornerback William Gay in pass coverage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], taking the first-arrangeed pass defense of last season to 16th this season.
Rookie Mike Wallace appeared to be the bright spot of this year's draft as sidney crosby finished with 756 yards and established himself as a legitimate deep threat. Wallace,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Heath Miller, and Hines Ward all finished with six touchdowns,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which led thegroup.
Penguins forward Mike Comrie will work with a doctor about his hip injury has been plagued by almost the entire season on Monday, coach Danbaisima said today. Bylsma said Comrie has not responded to do so recovered. This will make surgery an option. Comrie, who as a free agent and signed by the Penguins in the summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but in the beginning of the season, Oct. 9 injured in the second game, Bylsma said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but continued to play. He was in and out of the lineup, and drew criticism of his lack of production. Gregory Shamus The value of a player,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in goals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], above what a replacement level player would contribute in the shootout.
For the second time in a row the Pittsburgh Steelers have fell subject to the feared Super Bowl hangover梩his time finishing with at least a winning record at 9-7 rather than the 2006-2007 record of 8-8.
