Good point. It is crazy how much of a beating Ben takes for no apparent reason. I remember that game in SF with the lights going out. I don't know the score off-hand, but I remember the game was...

Good point. It is crazy how much of a beating Ben takes for no apparent reason. I remember that game in SF with the lights going out. I don't know the score off-hand, but I remember the game was...
The problem is that the performance of a coach is not a totally indepedent from the performance of the players. Good coaches figure out how to get the most out of their players. Again, Belichick...
Isn't this just a matter of semantics? Coaches, like a CEO or other top manager, are responsible for the overall performance of the organization. The coach is therefore held accountable for and by...
As am I and the vast majority of fans. Despite some of Tomlin's weaknesses, he is still young and I assume capable of learning from mistakes. Moreover, there really aren't that many great coaches...
“I definitely wish things would have been better. But I wouldn’t change anything I did.”
This statement, referencing his holdout and behaviour during this time period, says a lot I think. Me...
I don't think anyone is here is not proud to be a Steelers fan. Here is the thing from my perspective. Past success is great, but they could have won the Super Bowl for the past 10 straight years...
This is correct. The article was completely accurate and did not attempt to blame Tomlin for everything. To the contrary, it assigned him blame for his failures, which were obvious this year:
...
Boomer is just like all the other tv pundits. Whether they played the game or not, something about this role turns these guys into power worshippers and bandwagoners. Think he would be saying these...
The problem with this team is complacency. I would have a lot less problem with an 8-8 record if we didn't play sloppy football each week. That is the problem. We win sloppy and we lose sloppy...
We all have our opinions. I am not one calling for Tomlin to be fired or saying the end is nigh. I am just telling it like it is. Disgusting performance IMO. Complete waste of the talent and...
It's hard not to agree with that article. It would be nice to see Plax back in uniform next year. Seems the most cost affordable way to keep Ben happy and give him a red zone weapon while letting...
Regardless of preseason expectations, this team was 6-3 with its destiny firmly in its hands and they completely failed. Disgusting performance down the stretch and there is no way around that.
I have a buddy in Boston who always ragged on Sid Crosby until we came to the conclusion that its a similar dynamic with Steeler hate towards Brady. It's hard to like Mr. Perfect when he is playing...
Not to mention Ben always has a third option and fourth option of simply learning to work with Haley or outlasting him. There has only been 1 season upon which to base all this speculation about...
Bouchette is worthless. Everytime I hear him on the radio as the "Steelers insider" he knows nothing and stammers an "I don't know" or just asks a useless question in response to the question he was...
We'll know whether there is any chance of switching to the 4-3 soon enough based on whether Hampton and Harrison are brought back.
I still don't see a big difference between BA and Haley's offense. That reverse call only brought back bad memories. So we need to use trickery to beat Cleveland in a 0-0 game? Horrible call.
You'd have to ask lloydroid about the booing. But criticism? Absolutely. That was a shameful year and Cowher mailed it in, thereby wasting a shot at a title. During the first half of Ben's...
I wouldn't mind seeing Burress back as an affordable way to give Ben a big target since Wallace is probably leaving, but not sure I would want to completely clean house on the RBs. Redman, in...
Disagree that the coaches and players "deserve" better simply because of recent successes (doesn't mean I support booing them or harassing them around town either). This is a team that had a core...
Goodell is not concerned with player safety. He blows smoke about hits against "defenseless" players while trying to lengthen the season or reduce preseason. It's a total joke. The rule changes are...
Miller leads by example, not talk. He is also a TE, so not a natural fit for leading the team. Polamalu is quiet and reflective, another guy who can't be the leader. The defense could really use...
I agree with this. DeCastro's injury in preseason looms large in retrospect. If we can draft one more OL and solidify the line for years to come, a lot of the existing problems will become more...
Miller is a complete class act and one of the players who will never quit. Great year and great effort all around. I hope he recovers fully as we are going to need him. I wish more of our players...
Yes, but the season is not this external event that happened to the Steelers. We didn't have "it" because we didn't want "it" bad enough. The "it" wasn't hiding from us. Other teams managed to...
