This is a shitty stage to be in. Not quite "rebuilding", just kind of mehhh. They have a lot of issues, I wouldn't even know where to start.
I like the play of the receivers and Ben though....he's playing great.
Issue #1 - health. People dropping like flies.
Issue #2 - defense. Particularly in late-game situations. If the other team needs a drive, they get it. Somewhat tied to #1, as virtually anyone who's anyone on the defense seems to have missed some amount of time this year. Some of it is due to age (Polamalu, Harrison), some is bad luck with the injury bug.
Issue #3 - offensive line. Still sucks, in part due to #1, as they're down to the dregs of their line-up. Other than Mendenhall last week, they've had no running game whatsoever. And Mendenhall's game got less impressive on paper when you consider that the league called his TD a pass apparently, which took him from 81 yards to 68 in that game.
