Run into any Pittsburgh Steelers fan who watched the Week-2 preseason game against the Green Bay Packers — the one where the Black-and-gold surrendered 51 points — and ask them what they thought. You’ll likely hear something like this:
“Boy, this defense sucks.”
“Offense better put up almost 40 points a game this year.”
“Mike Tomlin is supposed to be a defensive coach, how is the defense this bad?”
“Keith Butler has to go.”
You get my drift. Needless to say, the fan base’s confidence in the defense is wearing thin —if not already gone.
