The first quarter of the Steelers’ 2018 season was rough, the second saw them go 4-0 to lift their record to 5-2-1. The third quarter started off perfect, but then two straight losses turned the tables 180 degrees. With that, I am tasked to break out the red pen and evaluate the season’s third quarter, I no longer do it from the penthouse, but somewhere back near the edge.
As I’ve stated all along, I’m not a football coach or a teacher, but I play one in blogs and podcasts. Each week of the 2018 exhibition and regular season, I’ve graded the efforts of the Black-and-gold via “the eye test”.
