Steelers @ Cleveland

If I was the NFL I wouldn't even put this team on TV
 
I'd say the worst loss was the playoff game in Denver.
 
This league is about points.
Not about trying to establish anything.
Establish the run means nothing in the NFL now.
 
Worst loss of the Tomlin era?

The Tebow loss was devastating AND embarrassing, but he gets a slight benefit of the doubt since we were beset by injuries to a bizarre level. We had Ben, Troy, Woodley, Hampton, Keisel, and numerous o-lineman out or going down. (Though Tomlin deserves his share of the blame for that, since he felt the need to play a limping Ben for meaningless late-season games.)

The worst loss in my eyes was the 2012 blowout at the hands of the hapless Chargers. This was a team that had lost 4 straight and 7 of 8 games. They were a mess on both sides of the ball. We, on the other hand, were turning things around big-time. We had just knocked off Baltimore with Batch playing a game for the ages. We were coming together.

And guess what? They came into our stadium and knocked the piss out of us from start to finish. We had our usual array of brainfarts, like Antonio trying to scoop up a fumble in our end zone with a huddle of Chargers bearing down on him. (Though no mistake was sillier than Tomlin kicking the PAT down 18 in the fourth quarter.)

That loss knocked us from a soaring team on its way to the playoffs into a team fighting for its playoff life. That's the loss I'll most remember from the Tomlin Era. Just a perfect representation of his tenure.
 
The Tebow loss was more on LeBeau.... Guess what, nothing has changed.

The problem on defense is talent, not the coordinator. I'm surprised Lebeau has stayed as long as he has; they've been giving him jack **** for years.
 
The Cards are 5-1. I'll say that again, Bruce Ariens' Cardinals are 5-1 with Carson Palmer leading the way. Suck on that lollipop for a few minutes. . .
 
4-1. They have already had their bye.....but the point is taken.
 
Looking around the league at some of these games, theres some ****** quarterback play.....or these DCs are smarter.
