They pretty much just let the D right through for free shots at Ben. I didn’t see any issues with our receivers, they weren’t dropping passes and the RB’s had no chance because the D was in their face before they even got the handoff. And our D played a great game. They gave up a lot of passing yards, but all in all, they did ok. Hopefully our O-line shows up next week, I will be really pissed if we lose to the Ravens. yes the line played poorly which has been a problem for the past 2 seasons. i also have to direct some of the blame to the coaching staff not adjusting to the blitzing and not calling some different plays to get rid of the ball quicker. you cant throw the ball down field with no time in the pocket. the running game wasnt gonna work for obvious reasons so you have to adapt to whats happening and that just wasnt going on. poor play calling and a inability to adjust to the defense was what killed it our d looked strong and that is the only reason the score wasnt out of control. something needs to be done about the line. although they were trying in the draft, this year was a very tackle heavy draft and most were all picked before we got to them. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/steelers-performance-against-the-eagles/199750)._
