Starkey: "This offense stinks"

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

13th in league in total offense.

Dont forget that one!

But yeah again we can spin this anyway you want to prove any point. Point being the team is playing a bit sloppy, turned the ball over 10 times, still averaging 380 yards a game in total offense, and we won 2 games!

We should pack it in! LETS GO BROWNS!!!!! they have the same RECORD.

McCoy
Hillis
Massapoopy
Cribby
no clue who their TE is


Yeah lets be pissed and cheer for those F()#*$()#* Guys! LOL

DUMB! DUMB! DUMB!

The Great Ravens who played the Titans and Rams are 11th in the league in total offense.

SO which numbers do we want to use to prove our points here? Numbers are just numbers. Only numbers that matter in PITTSBURGH is the number of W's!!!! At least that's the way it should be.

Steelers are ranked 13th in total yardage. Do yards win games? No they don't, last time I checked. That's why I cited points. Total yardage means nothing. It doesn't win games. It doesn't even have a correlation with winning. So no, the offense still stinks. All we're doing is pointing it out. But you interpret that as everyone jumping ship. You're being moronic. Nobody here has stopped cheering for the Steelers, that's just your imagination. But no you'd rather praddle on and on to make yourself feel better.

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

So what point am I trying to prove today? It's Thursday and we sound just like every other team in this league! Congratulations for being like everyone else.

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

Do yards win games?

Did we win this past game? LOL Guess we scored enough points 2 times now. LOL

Thanks for pointing that out! Plus isnt also about how many points you give up as a team??? I also remember a year or two where we ran out the clock on many teams, racked up the yardage but didnt need to score to put the team away. Doesnt that all factor into the simple math formula of how to win games? But hey we can tell NFL.COM to stop posting all the other stat categories because those dont matter! Only POINTS SCORED!! CHECK! DUMB DUMB DUMB.

Chargers game in SuperBowl year! Didnt they have the ball for just 11 seconds in the entire 3rd quarter??? I'm sure that didnt factor into the WIN though right?

Maybe in TECMO scoring points is what it takes to win but in the NFL i'm afraid there is a lot more statistically elements that factor into it my friend. Nice try though! Keep trying!!!

Ok, you win. You've convinced us all that we are just crazy, unreasonable people who have no clue about what we're watching on the field during games. We will all crossover to your delusional world where everything black and gold is completely flawless.

The Steelers offense as presently constituted is just fine. No improvements necessary. No adjustments needed. Nothing. Just continue doing things exactly as they are doing them right now, and everything will be peachy. This offense is one finely tuned, maximum efficiency scoring machine. Unstoppable. We get it now.

I just wanna thank you for putting us all in our collective places, and setting us right, allowing us to see the err in our ways.

Nevermind that this team struggles to score 20 pts., while elite offenses consistently put up 30. With all this talent on the O. Not really a good look. So, I'm sorry, but 2 wins against bad teams, one without their franchise QB, doesn't exactly mean all is well in Steelerland.

We played elite offenses this year? So are you suggesting our Defense stinks too with that comment? Might as well lay it out there! How do you really feel?

we cant score, can't stop teams who can score, our coaches stink, what else?

Is there anything we can do? Punt? is that up to your standards?

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

$$$$. That's it, right there.

We've played 3 games. 1 was against a good team, and we were demolished.

1 was against a terrible team that is now 1-2. We ran them over -- excellent.

1 was against a team that is now 0-3. Winless. And was it ever a close win.

Now I know we're not sprinters, and that you want your team hot in November and all those other football platitudes, but when I see a team that has a negative scoring differential, and a team that leads the league in turnovers, I'm not exactly looking forward to November or the rest of the marathon or whatever.

I'd love to see this team come out and kick some Texan rear. This team is loaded top to bottom with talent -- we should be able to do it.

But let me ask Slapstick, Doogie, and the rest of the "anti-chicken little" crowd (lol): if Monday morning comes around and we're 2-2, then what will you think of this team?

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

1 was against a good team, and we were demolished

LOL! It was week 1 and before the season started we didnt sit here and all say splitting with the Ravens is very possible? So because we lost on the Road to the Ravens we should be freaking out?

WOW WOW WOW

If we lose this week and go 2-2 i'll sit here and say once again that we will be ok!! No one is going to go undefeated this year and again its not how you play now!!! Get to the tourney HOT and you win!!! We have mastered that over the years and you should be ashamed of yourself for not believing we can do it again! You can't possibly be a steeler fan with that mindset! Not after all this team has done for us over the years! We seen some UGLY WINS in our lives and we took every one of them!!!!!!!

You guys kill me! I'm starting to beleive you dont even like this team and you cheer for them to do bad so you havent something to write and complain about! I hate people at work who complain and i hate fellow steeler fans who complain as well! We have a good product on that field and they deserve our support! 3 or 4 weeks dont make a season!

Thanks for all the ammo for later in the year. What will i think after a loss this week??? OH noooooo let me ebay all my Steeler stuff! LOL Tooo funny!

we played one offense that might be considered elite by the end of the year and they walked all over us.

No one suggested the D stinks besides you. You are having some fabulous conversations with yourself and making up straw arguments to keep yourself going.

Switch to decaf.

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

while elite offenses consistently put up 30.

this is not my quote! Does this not suggest our Defense stinks? CONSISTENTLY GIVING UP 30 would in fact make us stink on D!

Again nice try!

I'll switch to DECAF when the negative stops after a WIN!! A WIN!!!! not asking for a lot here! LOL

your right... it's only been 3 weeks of football but I'm pretty sure the coaches and players are talking about correcting the offense because it stinks...

Who said the season is lost? Who said we stink? The offense STINKS right now but we know they have the weapons and QB to turn it around.

Not sure how talking about what needs to be fixed makes us haters.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I put these in just for you.

I never expected to win both games against Baltimore.

It's not the loss that bugs me -- it's the fact that we were pushed all over the field, both on offense and defense.

Had the Pittsburgh Steelers shown up to play the Ravens and lost, it would sting, but I wouldn't be concerned. But I don't know what team I was watching get demolished 35-7. My team didn't show up.

And as I've said before, I'll take ugly, nasty, close wins every time if it means we get to the Super Bowl. But if one of the toughest teams in your division spanks you to the tune of 35-7...

I expected to win both games against Baltimore... Ben is 6-1 vs Flacco so why would I think we would split?

I don't mind losing a close game but that was crazy... It's only one game but the way we lost and the TO's in the Indy game concern me. We are playing JV football on offense right now.

It's not fair to keep putting our D in these tough positions... if it was the other way around like in 2009 I would be all over the D.

[Doogie36]

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

But you can't just say it was week 1? The very next week the Titans used that tape against the RAVENS and beat them. Come on!!! seriously?

Our bad play helped the Titans beat our division FOE for US! You can spin this anyway you want but I just read it on the Ravens board. The titans took away the underneath stuff the steelers gave them and Flacco couldnt stretch the field. It's all on their FORUMS.

We layed an egg in week 1. It was BAD!! HORRIBLE!!! but that isnt our team! We do this EVERY DARN YEAR!!! Arent we use to this by now?

Fire BA threads all year long!!!
Get a FB all year long
OLINE sucks all year long
Punter is horrible especially if James Punts.
Return game is horrible
Can't stop the RETURN.
DL is OLD
Aaron and Farrior have to go!
BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!

It's all played out every year and what happens??? We get into the playoffs and all that crap is forgotten!!! Unless we lose a playoff game and then its all back on again and we once again talk about the above issues!

It's the cycle! Some like to complain to feel better which i TOTALLY GET!! GO FOR IT!! but after a win shows you how spoiled we have become as fans. When winning isnt even enough anymore!!! SAD!! Real SAD!

Wait till we get killed by the Texans! That will give your complaints more MERIT and more weight! LOL

[RuthlessBurgher]

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

Punter is horrible especially if James Punts.

I don't recall seeing that one. Not quite sure what it even means. Did we ever have a punter named James? Recent punters have been Daniel Sepulveda, Jeremy Kapinos, Mitch Berger, Paul Ernster, Chris Gardocki, etc.
