If you want to crown them...then crown them...

I wasn't impressed with them at all last night. They played worst than they did the first time we met them. Perhaps it was rust from the bye week, but they looked more than beatable.

7 weeks is a long time in the NFL, but if they don't get it together by 12/31, they'll be embarrassed in the dome. Their D seems to miss Morgan alot... Their O seemed sluggish most of the night, with the exception of Smith.

I was surprised Jake didn't look sharp either.

The thing that has surprised me the most is how vulnerable their defense looks. Morgan is a big loss, but he missed most of last season and they went to the NFC Championship game. Will Witherspoon was a bigger loss. The Steelers did have one of the worst 3rd down conversion ratios in the NFL in the regular season last year. Maybe the Panthers will follow a similar route but Pittsburgh's D was always good last year. Unless the Panthers D tightens up I think we should win the South
