I mean, who didn't see this coming? Be honest. Sure, we all hope for the best. But after the TB and Jax games, it should have been evident to all of us that this team has a load of issues. If it wasn't apparent before that. He'll I went to Lowe's when the 3rd quarter started. Game was over til I got home. And I was ok with that. For those of you who are hard core optimistic and still in denial, more power to you. Me, I will watch casually, but I am not going to waste a lot of energy or time watching this **** show.
 
I am just like you man. The excitement of Sunday is gone.It will take a whole lot to get my attention again. I have been half assed watching the last two weeks. It is not that I am a bad fan. They look worse than ****. Really embarrassing....
 
If the players and coaches don't seem to care, why should I?
 
I did laundry as the game was being played. That has never happened before. The Steelers have always had my full attention on gamedays. Not anymore.
 
I have not got upset or really even been into any games for several years now. You just know they are average at best, and will fold like a cheap suit come crunch time. You had to know when they moved the ball up and down the field and only managed 3 points in the first quarter it was over. Really sad when you think about it.

I stuck to my word, stopped watching at half time and got the yard work and some other stuff done.

This team and coaching staff is NOT good enough to make ANY adjustments at the half and come back and win a game. And look what I missed in the second half....

One touchdown....
 
The team is a mess from the top down. And we haven't seen any signs of them being able to fix it
 
It would be nice if they could just turn down the suck, a bit.

As players of a certain age on the Steelers would say: "Turn down for what?" They're still gonna get paid, can still hold the ball out after first downs when getting their ***** handed to them ... Oh hell, I could go on an on and on. This team has no PRIDE ... They don't seem to give a flyin F*@k. And it's a damned shame because there is some talent there ... at least on O. The defense seems to be a **** fest of ineptitude.
 
I left at half time to go watch the Cards play. Have a friend with season tickets and there is always one in my name for the home games here in AZ. In the past I would make and excuse not to go if it conflicted with the Steeler game.....No more!

Cards have a ton of injuries too, but some how the still manage a pass rush, a secondary that can get picks, and can actually win games.

Say what you will about the Bruce, but he has his team in 1st place in the NFC west.

yep indeed

for me its watch and hope for a win

and hope for a new coaching staff

while not buying one piece of merchandise until there is a change

cant stop watching, that's just me

but will not support the suckatude moving forward
 
The last thing I want to see is us rally again to finish 8 and 8 or better. I don't want management to think this team is on the right track when it so obviously is not. Best case scenario for this team is mediocrity. I want better. I want changes. Until then, I don't give a flying f@%$ what they do.

This burns even more considering it was in GARBAGE time and the Browns were playing prevent-defense. The same defense we play when we're up 21+ points and the opponents easily drive down the field and scores 17+ points, potentially stealing the game away in the last seconds.
 
The six toed barn cat that hangs around our place had kittens. Its hard to stay angry about a bad football team when you can play with new kittens.
 
I can relate, Sarge. I am not acutely upset at this point because I know the team sucks and I chalk it up to "rebuilding years." However, there is a never-ending heartbreak that the mystique is gone. The word "Steelers" use to have a certain connotation to it. Not any more.

Six toes and four feet, well that is above the line, and must have quite a pedigree.

Obviously we are pleased with the things this young feline can do. Her performance in birthing kittens sets the standard, if you will, and the stabdard is the standard.

Obviously your barn cat is aware that she has six toes, and she has to own that.
 
Its apparent that we need to put up 30-35 pts on offense to win most games....OUR DEFENSE IS ******!!! Question is, how can this offense muster up enough offensive output and drive sustainability to get us those 30-35 pts.... ? I dont see that happening....so with that said, my expectations are 8-8 unless this defense improves and right now with the injuries and integration of new pieces, THAT AINT HAPPENING SOON.

Im watchin for signs of improvement week to week ...im watchin for player growth.............and i love football. Talkin **** about the FO, HC or players (schemes) wont help ****...so i have hobbies and ******* to take my focus away from this train wreck. Id suggest yall do the same.

We recognize that. And we accept the fact that she has six toes. In fact her name is Sixtoes obviously.
 
We have an easy schedule overall. We just finished the easiest part of our schedule at 3-3. I can't see us going 5-5 in the remaining games to even finish at 8-8. Any good passing team will destroy us because our O has found ways to suck even with very good talent and we need our O to put up 30+ to have a chance to win.
 
Turn down for what?

you should recognize and accept the suck should ve turned down so it doesn't affect and disturb the six toed barn cat. Obviously.
 
I really never expected to say this in my lifetime, but I am so glad I spent the day sanding/refinishing a hardwood floor yesterday and missed the game completely.

He failed to recognize the standard of suck and that's on him, he has to own that. Obviously.
