As for my beloved STEELERS, i have never seen such a disarray, 1968 fan, in any STEELERS teams.
The 80’s as many here have refereed to, were not near this.
Some accuse Rooney of being cheap, but it is TOMLIN who chooses the full coaching staff of 9. That is the smallest staff in the NFL, it shows in many stages of the game. DK Daily shot had a good segment about the coaching quality and quanity, along with who wants it and has it that way.
I feel we have competitive teams with talent. I feel we can compete fully. I also feel this coaching staff has irreparably let this team / franchise / front office / FANS down.
I feel the entire coaching staff (less scouting but even they need scrutinized), needs replaced. Kahn and Weild need fully involved in the vetting process, obviously ART 2 inclusive.
Many here give ART 2 very little credit as a football man, but he is and has been around it his entire life and in all aspects of it. Top to Bottom along the way and he had the greatest mentor to boot. He is far from stupid as many inferr.
As for watching, I still do every chance I get. I root for them blindly at times, but none the less want positive outcome. I also have lowered my expectations a whole lot. HCMT has been my lowered expectations for quite some time.
It’s hard watching some of these great players come here and see their wasted careers, and yes we have seen several wasted.
It’s hard to watch an offense that even I can guess more than 80% correct on play.
It’s hard to watch a once vaunted defense, get driven 109 yards on for a TD, by a 2-10 team.
The list can go on and on starting about the time the “Cowher” players were leaving, yet BR7 kept covering.
BEN ROETHLISBERGER was a major part of wanting to watch, the greatest STEELERS QB and top 5 NFL QB ever. He too is included in The wasted last 1/3 of his career. But to see him play was golden, for me. He reminded me a lot of the Super Steelers days of old.
I’m here and will remain, but yes, that sour taste is there and I hope it is repelled to none,…… very soon.
Salute the nation
