STEELERS, FALCONS, and NY GIANTS are a combined 1-13 and forget Expectations...that SERVICE ENGINE SOON Light has turned into we need a TOW Truck to get to the Bluedude Sportstalk GARAGE...Bluedude Sportstalk FRONT LINE October 8, 2013 #STEELERnation #RiseUpFALCONS #MetLifeBLUE

Where do you start when two of these three teams won the last four out of eight "Fight for Vince" and the other Team was poised to get a Chip real real soon? It's not hard to look where the problems lie as they have different issues but the same issues when you pull everything together. Let's take a closer look...

Welcome to the Bluedude Sportstalk GARAGE:

STEELERS (0-4) October 13 @ NY Jets
Service Engine Light: O-Line/D-Line

The O-Line has been worse than previous seasons and losing All-Pro Center Maurkice Pouncey was a huge blow. The Steelers also aren't winning the battles up front on the other side of the "pig" and that is a huge problem. Names like Marcus Gilbert (2nd Rounder), Cam Heyward (1st rounder), David DeCastro (1st Rounder), and Ziggy Hood (1st rounder) might not be as good as advertised. The Young Players had to play Big in 2013 for the Steelers to stay afloat and they are 0-4. Not winning in the Trenches in a nutshell. I do not think O-Coordinator Todd Haley is as bad as he looks there is just no O-Line Grade A Tape....

G-MEN (0-5) October 10 @ BEARS
Service Engine Light: D-Line/O-Line

They have lost two Starters including their best O-Lineman in Chris Snee for 2013. If you set back and watch the G-Men it's the O-Line as they can't run-block or pas-block to protect Eli. Defensively the D-Line is under performing and for a D-Line that is that deep on the depth chart...that is disturbing. Maybe with DE Jason Pierre-Paul back that will jump start something up front for the G-Men.  Now they lose RB David Wilson for the Bears Game with a neck injury. Not winning in the trenches and again that is the problem in a nutshell.

FALCONS (1-4) Bye Week 6...October 20 vs BUCS
Service Engine Light: Front Seven on D (Backers)

The Falcons Problem is the O-Line but Matty Ice is finding just enough time to get rid of the Pig as the Falcon have an even bigger issue. Did anyone see this last season as it wasn't the corners that gave them issues. The Defense in the Front Seven is not that good an then they lose their Top Two Players in DE/OLB Kroy Biermann and OLB Sean Weatherspoon to a "D" that can't replace two versatile Players like those Two. They are losing the battle up front and when you can't pressure the QB and at least get hurries...your Secondary will pay no matter whose back there. Being 1-4 has to be a tough pill to swallow for Falcons Nation and the Dirty Birds as they expected to be right back into the NFC Elite in 2013. Now they lose WR Julio Jones maybe for 2013...Braves out of the Playoffs...and Hawks Home Games...SMH!  

Which of these Teams could turn it around and make the Playoffs...maybe the Falcons as they have one in the right column!
