Takeaways: Sutton did a better job of mixing up pressures in the second half, (cont.)

Sutton blitzed more in the 2nd half and it worked beautifully. It caused 3 punts in the last 4 possessions. Steelers first drive of the 2nd half was a TD, but it was also the drive that Eric Murray ****ed up a perfectly called blitz which would have caused 3rd and 10+.

I’m all for Sutton going full Gunther and blitzing the shit out QB’s over and over again unless it’s 3rd and short.

It's been a pattern. Both San Diego and pitt, we play well out of the gates. We suck big time for a few drives. We get our shit together toward the end of the game.

Something is totally off about that 2nd quarter. Either teams are adjusting to us. My opinion is either Sutton or Reid plays a "protect the lead" strategy. We can have a brilliant defensive strategy. But if we totally abandon that strategy because we're up a few scores, nothing will change. We got rid of the game manager qb. How do we stop Andy Reid from managing games too? If he committed to keeping his foot on the gas and realizing it's OK to build up big leads, maybe we'd actually look decent on defense. The second half blitzing was an adjustment. But the big difference may be that our defense was playing to win not to preserve.
