All around suck fest

on their lone TD drive they made a few plays to receivers over the middle..where the hell did that go in the second half? instead of short passes to DJ we got a **** ton of short passes to Najee.
 
Ben has to be second guessing his decision to come back this year at this point. Both because of his level of performance and also everyone else's around him. There's too much blame on this team to go around but my guess is that he probably wishes he was sitting on the couch Sundays.
 
Its going to be a sub 500 or below season. I don’t see these guys improving until the end of the season at best.

This crunch time part of the schedule is going to be some ugly football ahead. The Oline looks lost, and just too many new faces to get in a rhythm.


Ben has been this franchises pillar for a long time but being honest with myself, his age is showing. Rudolph can’t do any better or worse. Might as well go with the younger guy at this point.

Lastly. Injuries are putting this team down which makes for miscommunication assignments. I’ll argue these guys are multi millionaire pros but it’s quite evident some guys lack grasp due to neutral zone infractions, out of place defensively and false starts and out of place offensively.


I don’t know what to make of this team. I’m just watching casually enjoying the season as much as I can. But I did snooze out at halftime cause that was some ugly *** football played today

Agreed here
 
Soundbar took me awhile to figure out never had one before. Man from what I did get to see/hear what a painful watch. Just a big **** sandwich. SMH
 
I said it then and will say it again. The first team did not play enough in the preseason. An entirely new system and new offensive line. I know you run the risk of injury, but that is where you learn, not during the regular season.
 
Resolved that this will be a long year. Disappointing that while the players have changed, this o-line looks the same.
Too many banged up doesn't help.
 
It feels like they have entered rebuild mode based on the performance on the field.

A. I am 100% off the Ebron needed to stay bandwagon… if he isn’t catching he isn’t worth a roster spot. Just start Muuth and gentry… at least Gentry blocks

B. Ben has to start practicing on Wednesday… these wideouts aren’t in sync with him. Don’t care who’s fault it is… this is the only way to fix it

C. This roster needs something.. I keep suggesting a speedy wideout but if they did bring in either of the doobie brothers I'm not certain the locker room is mature enough to handle it.

D. At some point you have to bite the bullet and get a vet oline in here… id like a center… rookie centers shouldn’t start… but that would be a trade cause the ufas are slim pickings… if banner isn’t back soon Im fine with getting a better right tackle here…
 
Mike Tomlin could not succeed in the playoffs with Le'Veon Bell, Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger in their primes. Expecting him to succeed with a team riddled with mediocre talent is hoping beyond hope.

A great defense masked just how awful the offense is, but with injuries tearing the defense apart and the sleepwalking Mike Tomlin at the helm, this could get ugly. Sorry, UGLIER. Slightly better offense with the muddle huddle/no huddle, but the Steelers will not begin the game next week that way and will instead do their somnolence session, expecting for some reason that doing the same thing that has failed completely so far will inexplicably now bring about success.

What's the definition of insanity? "Expecting Mike Tomlin to change."

Yep. That's it. So now we have three regular season games under our belt. Next week we should be balling I imagine..

We need an OL that can .....BLOCK. Bringing in an OLman.... I am on board with that.
 
Different week, same results. Injuries, weak offensive line dropped passes. The only thing different was lack of QB pressure by the Steelers

And that is no knock on the long term potential of Moore or Greene or Dotson or even chuks… this line is too inexperienced… you need two stalwart pieces to build any line around and all we have is Turner who is brand new to the team…

And if today's abysmal loss wasn't enough of a kick in the head for you, rats win on a blown delay of game non-call and a 66 yard FG on the next play.

Almost doesn't matter at this stage. Bengals, Browns and Ravens are all ahead of us, record-wise and talent-wise. If we stay on this trajectory, this team is 4th best in the North. Which is mindnumbing to think or say, but seems to be the case.

Geeeez.......I thought the same thing about JuJu. Comes back for Ben's swan song. Gets a team that hardly showcases his talent,with a QB that obviously has huge problems throwing more then 5 yards,and even at that is inaccurate as hell. With an oline that is just as much to blame. Don't blame him at all if he leaves.
 
Great. Another year of unwatchable offense.

The Steelers product on the field is terrible. Just terrible.

Did someone sneak a headset to Randy Fichtner? I he calling plays from his couch?
