It's official: next season ruined (Canada coming back)

at this point, I'll take any comp pick we can get for Bush.

I'll take a used bicycle tire pump at this point.

No.. he didn’t. We may try to get him on the cheap for depth but his 5th year was declined.

I wasn't sure how that worked... Did he decline his fifth year, thinking he would test the waters, elsewhere, or did Pittsburgh not exercise their 5th year option??

the Steelers wisely did not exercise the 5th year option on Bush, making him a free agent now.

Maybe that's why you didn't get that FO gig over on Art Rooney Dr....

[NJ-STEELER]

yeah.. the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over.

like posting the same complaints over and over and over again.

or posting that quote over and over and over… thinking it’s clever.

i hate people repeating themselves over and over

Tried to tell you guys. Might as well give the young kid a shot and take our bumps and bruises.

Ben played us just like AB. All this money and he looks like he doesn’t give a damn.

This is where having a checked out owner really hurts. Tomlin and Canada should be coaching for their jobs from day 1 next year, another slow start that buries them in the North standings should lead to huge changes IN SEASON, instead, we all know nothing will happen because there is zero accountability with Tomlin at this point. He's at the top of the org chart.

and what if we don’t have a slow start and have a good season?

This is going to be Canada’s make or break year but like Ben said recently. When you finish 7-2 there are reasons to be optimistic.

I think Ben retiring, Colbert stepping down, Austin’s first year as the DC with a defense with the most INT’s in the league and an improved rushing attack to end the season all show signs of a team trying to win and set themselves up for the future.

Honestly, besides constantly whining about the bad start and blow out losses to 2 good teams its hard to see how the FO isn’t invested in winning.

Sure, hate Canada and give the cliche “they don’t want to win” insults but they finished 7-2, cleared the books and have an extra pick at 32 due to a sweet trade with CHI.

Looks like the exact opposite to me but I guess throwing tantrums over Canada makes fans feel good.

Pickett identifies Tomlin as the true architect of the offense. How sad is it that he plans to score 14-20 points a game, max.

Now that Tomlin has 100% control of the organization, 9 wins is the ceiling.

The wins will come from all losing teams. When we play the better teams, scoring 17-20 points won't cut it. The days of beating the better teams in the NFL seem over, with the "coaching in his fears" Shades in charge. A "non-losing" season is the goal, and that's about it.
