1. it's preseason and that was not all the playcalls and schemes u would see from pittsburgh on the other side of the ball.
2. we did not pass the 17 mark. it looked good to win but until we consistently can put more than seventeen on the board we still have problems on offense.
3. Our only big target in the end zone is cooley, that kinda worries me in redzone situations. Our team seems to be built for big plays, hopefully nemo will be good at pounding it in around the 5 yard line

Just to play a friendly game of devil's advocate....
1. The Steelers defense might not have been showing everything they have, but prior to last night, the first team defense had given up a measly 26 rushing yards. Portis almost gained 50 yards on 8 carries. Even on drivers that ended in punts, the offense was moving the chains.
2. We had all 17 points when the starters (except Ramsey) were in (in a little less than 3 quarters).
3. The Patriots didn't have a big WR target last season, but they did just fine.
