Last year (and most years since '07) they had some glaring weaknesses early on. I guess TE and OL depth still is, (and maybe Pittsburgh is secretly a 6-10 team), but the defense is the best it's been since '03/'04 & Wynn looked great at LT. And then we're adding Antonio Brown to the mix?!?
Next week could be odd since @Miami has been where weird shit happens for awhile, plus Flores might have tricks with his familiarity, but it's hard to see us not opening in the rarely seen -14+ range.

I was a lot more onboard with that decision than kicking a FG at 24-9 or an XP at 24-15. I know we all think Arizona won't be in the playoff mix, but yeah a tie is still better than a loss. (I guess the FO odds simulator was in favor of going for it by 0.4%, so it's really an either/or decision.)

Why would he want to take the step down?
