Seriously??!!
Nobody remembers opening day, Sept 10, 1989? The stains tore the Steelers new ******** in front of the short lived 'home opener' excitement, 51-0...
Stunk the place up nearly as bad the following week to the bungholes, 41-0. In the end the O'lers and Bears pitched them shutouts as well. Yet as bad as that team was, they finished 9-7 and made it to the Division round where the gave the donkeys a game.
This team is bad but in an entirely different way. I think they look at the front office and 'coaching' staff and see that they're just going through the motions - no leadership, no development, no scheme(s), no plan, and when called on it, have nothing but vacuous clichés to offer as excuses rather that take responsibility.
Note to front office and 'coaching' staff. When you acknowledge responsibility, you need to actually do something. Its a symbolism v substance relationship. Hire a team on consultants. They'll explain it to you.
