Can the Pittsburgh Steelers improve defensive communication, re-configure defensive personnel packages and fix the kicking game in time to reach the postseason?

While watching last Sunday’s game at my favorite establishment. I got more and more frustrated. Because the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense couldn’t stop the Kansas City Chief’s from scoring.

Each touchdown felt like another nail in my coffin. Each touchdown made it clear. Changes need to be made!

After two regular season games, the Pittsburgh Steelers look sloppy at best. Dysfunctional at worst. So, what’s the problem?

Well, it starts with the defense. Why are they making so many mistakes? Mistakes, resulting in numerous penalties. Mistakes allowing too many big plays. Mistakes causing missed FGs and extra points. This propensity for mistakes, coupled with the inability to tackle, is a recipe for disaster!

The Steelers are fast approaching a disastrous 2018 NFL season. But the ship can be righted. If the following changes are immediately implemented.
