Here is what is being left behind by the current regime.

This is what we long-time Fans talk about when we talk the "Steelers Way".

Chuck Noll inspired this kind of respect, Bill Cowher extended that fact.

Tomlin has taken this franchise back to Pre-Merger, that ineptitude was top down including Art Sr.

Dan Rooney brought us into relevancy, his son Art 2 has wondered away from what it takes.





I let a tear show, at the most powerful part of the speech.

Hope there can be a turn-around soon.




Salute the nation
 
If Tomlin would leave after this season just look what he will leave behind.
An old 42 year old QB. An undeveloped, underwhelming OL. Not much in the way of weapons with just Metcalf as the only blue chip WR.
A defense that is loaded with AGE everywhere you look. Ranked near the bottom of the league in all defensive categories.
This is what Tomlin will leave behind if he were to leave. I’d say a far cry from what he inherited in 2007.
Wake up now Art! It’s time!

That was beyond amazing. Thanks for this, Sir.

To think that this legacy is now in the hands of Shades and Rooney. Unbelievable.
 
You know it's bad when we have a 2 game lead in the division and no one even cares, when is the last time that happened?


We all seem to know where that 2-game lead will get us……. Advantages of Groundhog Day…………

Trust me, that lead is the direct result of injuries to Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson.
If those two hadn’t gotten injured the Steelers would not be leading the division.
Trust me, the Ravens are far from being done.
 
The Ravens will win the division. Even with Hunley at QB to hold down the fort and they are getting their players back, it won't be a question. I'm not even mad anymore.
I feel I saw my last championships in this city and it was a good run, but that was 2008?? Ouch. By the time Tomlin steps away, the "good" players will not be worth much, retired or playing somewhere else and the rebuild will be a pretty steep hill to assemble. Not with this ownership and management. They are so stuck in their ways. I look at Philly and KC with envy. We used to be them, but they can't beat Joe Flacco now.

I hardly even call DumKunt Metcalf “blue chip”, maybe a top 15 receiver in the league…probably closer to 20ish.
He’s just a pricier version of GP with a lesser skill set.

Where’s the outrage when DumKunt kills any chance of comeback by letting a defenders words get in his head. Team driving and still had a chance when the little ***** got his feelings hurt and selfishly cost any chance of a comeback. Just another undisciplined Tomlin player that will face zero repercussions for being a DumKunt.

Dude is every bit the head case GP was just paid more.

Tomlin should not be allowed another single draft pick to waste and should 100% be shown the door…but Art is 100% too stupid and too much of a ***** to pull the trigger.

The Stains are as close to being SB contenders as this team is under the current management and “leadership”

Very sad, they need to go scorched earth on this dogshit operation of a franchise.

Oh I know that, but I can't remember the last time we had a 2 game lead in the division and no one cared or thought it meant anything, that's when you know it's bad.

I could care less myself, I know how it's going to end.

Who are the “good players”

Yikes,
Maybe a handful at best
 
Rooney will listen to 2 things only:

1. Unsold seats at Acrisure
2. Chants of “Fire Tomlin” reigning down on Acrisure

The first one won’t be happening any time soon.

I think if the Colts start lighting up our defense next Sunday you could hear the second one, this fan base is on edge and fed up

Yep, once Lamar returns our division lead will evaporate very quickly. Tomlin was given a gift with those injuries and of course he's throwing it away. I even think his beloved .500 record is in jeopardy this year. Too bad it will take several more losing seasons after this one until we're rid of him.

“if the Colts start lighting up our defense” 🤣🤪😱

I feel a 40 burgher coming on.
The 40burghers…new term to describe this historic D.

As in- it’s gonna take several 40s to watch this shyte and any week they’re definitely capable of allowing 40.
 
Never pictured Jack Lambert as such a well-spoken and eloquent public speaker. Thanks for posting, DIC.

I have never seen that video! Thank you!
Truth be told...I was sitting a row or two back above that wall!!
I tried to see if I could locate myself but the resolution is not good...and I was only 28 at the time....so I did not resemble my current version of myself and I kind of forgot what I looked like lol..
I just moved to Sandusky, Ohio a few years before and met up with a bunch of my boys from the East End of the Burgh to witness that speech, and then others from the great 70 Steelers over the years...
What a great day....what a great time to be a Yinzer and of course a Pittsburgh Steeler fan!
We took over Canton that day as you can tell!
 
There are some promising players on the team and that's why I said "good", not great. No one I would franchise besides Boz.
100%. There's a few promising players but not a single one I'd call a building block. And with this coaching staff don't count on any development.

This is as bad as I can recall in my 50+ years following the Steelers.
 
"And arguably the greatest defense ever assembled". Yep, sure was Jack.

Wonder how Mahomes and the like would fare against them? They'd probably be crying and running for the bench or locker room.

I never knew the scary man with missing teeth could deliver a speech so well. He's not some rocks for a brain dummy. Thanks for the vid DIC. (y)
 
Shades will never ever be fired, no matter what.
Best we’ll get is they let his contract run out.

The owner is content with what his team accomplished a long time ago. He's also content with the culture that was built being completely gone,it's ashes.


The seats are sold out,so who cares? Did he enjoy the"Go Pack Go" in the 4th quarter?

I wish Dan was alive.
