Najee needs much less playing time
As great as it is to have Pickens back he can't quit on routes like he did on the pick

Typical end to the Stillers season. Tomlin headed for another no playoff win season yet he makes the playoffs so we all should be happy I guess. Anyone who thought the Stillers had any shot of doing some damage in the playoffs should not be thinking that any more.
Kansas City is almost unbeatable in my opinion. They are definitely going to the Super Bow with every playoff game at home. I don't see anyone from the NFC beating them. Three in a row, wow. How many titles will they get in a row?

Steelers got blown out in three straight games after playing mostly patsies all season.
Be grateful, at least they are not the Browns.
In my opinion, the Steelers have actually overperformed this year. Wilson and Fields are better quarterbacks than picket was last year, but they aren’t anybody that will lead a team to the Super Bowl. Harris started off strong this year, but it was against weak competition and now he’s back to being the career 3.9 ypc runner he always has been. I think the offensive line has been a slight improvement and should get better next year as Frasier and McCormick get better but I think an offensive line coaching shakeup may help guys like Jones. Outside of Pickens their wide receiver group is pretty weak and they don’t do enough with Freiermuth in the passing game. He can be much more effective getting down the seam than those silly 3 yard outs.
Defensively, Watt has not performed at his normal level and nobody else on that defense outside of Hayward and occasionally Highsmith is playing at an above average level. Fitzpatrick has been mediocre for three years now.
Take Boswell off the team and give them an average kicker and instead of 10 wins, they have six or seven. Best case scenario is they beat the bengals and get the five seed and get to go play a bad Texans team in the first round. They win that and then they get a chance to go to Kansas City and get shafted again there. Chief would beat them on their own in Pittsburgh yesterday, but it is kind of shady how those reviews worked out were on questionable plays by Pittsburgh the reviews got initiated instantaneously, but yet on questionable ones for the Chiefs, they didn’t get looked at, at all.

As a Steelers fan it is frustrating seeing the same thing now for over a decade. A little above average to average teams. Go nowhere in the post season. Yeah I know other teams would take that success but maybe a reboot/rebuild is in order to get a franchise QB. Look at the SA Spurs in the NBA. They went through 3-4 horrible years but landed Wembyana and now are coming back. It doesn't need to be that long but this train of 9-8 to 11-6 years and a wildcard team with no real threat to challenge the AFC's best gets old. I'm not saying go to the Super Bowl every other year or the conference championship but wow at least win a playoff game once every 10 years. And if not can you at least be competitive in those games. The Chiefs and Bills will eat their lunch for the foreseeable future. My gut tells me their string of success versus the Ravens is coming to an end as well. They never could figure out a successor to Ben and are paying the price. Also I feel that the defense is always overrated and gets exposed when we need them to step up in late season games and the playoffs.
