The first game of 2015 is over, yet the 2015 Steelers are looking identical to the 2014 team, a weak secondary that can’t defend the pass, and an offense that can’t score touchdowns in the Red Zone.
For those of you who have been lost in the desert, the Steelers lost to the much-hated New England Patriots 28-21 last week, now they face the totally new look San Francisco 49ers Sunday.
Last season the Steelers weakness was a secondary that couldn’t stop anyone. This season with the retirement of Troy Polamalu and Ike Taylor, the young players were suppose to step up, but didn’t against New England. But being fair, no secondary has been able to stop Tom Brady, who if not the best quarterback in the league, is among the top three. Brady was 25 of 32 for 288 yards with 4 touchdown passes, three going to super tight end Rob Gronkowski.
The Steelers looked much like last season’s team as they marched up and down the field accumulating yards but once they got in the red zone they bogged down, settling for field goals, two of them missed, instead of touchdowns.
