Right on, man. There is a reason why the roster size is 53 and not 24. Building quality depth is just as important as having top-flight starters.

For sure. thats why some teams can be completley devestated by injury while a quality team seems to shrug them off.

I think the loss to the Jets changes that dynamic. Pitt is unlikely to catch the Pats now so this game has lost some significance. They obviously still want to win (hold off CLE and tiebreaker against Indy), but I think it is unlikely Tomlin rushes anyone back for the Pats game if they aren't ready.
