    Three straight games

    I stopped recording the game before halftime. I can't think of a more frustrating season than this one. They need to do what the Ravens did, strapped everything and start over.

    I hear ya. Once it became 17-0 before the 1st quarter was over, I was over. I have better things to do with my time than sit through crap like that.

    There is so much wrong with this team, I don't know where to begin.

    How do you go from posting 12-4 records 3 of the past four years before last years 8-8 record-to this?

    I will always route for the Steelers. But I won't waste my time watching this kind of football. They aren't even remotely competitive. And that is all I ask of the Steelers every year. Just be competitive.

    I'm not sure that there is a worst team in the league right now.

    Wow. Just-wow...

        And yet we'll see fans bagging out the Browns fans for turning on their team.

        Geez, it's like you've been offered crap for 10 years & been made to sit through it.
        The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?

            I'm there with them to the bitter end and beyond. Actually saw some positives. Doesn't change the 0-3, but it might be show the potential to win some games ahead (if we can get a grip on the TO ratio).

              Age caught up with this team and retirements followed. Bad contracts that have their hands tied with the cap haven't helped either.

                  In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

                    Don't forget less than stellar drafts which is probably more responsible than even the two you mentioned. You need talent at some point.

                      I agree. The turnovers are the big problem. Otherwise we are not that bad, imho.

                          Well, one of the reasons (only one of the reasons) is that Ben is older and past his prime. Other greats have usually faded slowly -- typically they get smarter as their physical abilities go down. Ben's style wasn't conducive to this, also the numerous hits he's taken must take a toll on his body.

                          The game wont slow down. He'll have to play smarter. He missed so many obviously open receivers today, not to mention the crap pick-6, that he single handedly lost it for us. Today's game was not on Haley.

                            When it all comes down to it, the Head Coach is ultimately responsible.
                            -The O-line has been a problem for years and it still plagues us
                            -We continue to turn the ball over
                            -We continue to not force any turnover
                            -The games played with Dwyer in preseason and then getting cut, proves what disarray this team is really in
                            -The Taamu incident
                            -Not being able to get off the field on 3rd and long
                            -The amount of injuries
                            Mr. Tomlin your fancy phrases, deer in the headlights look on the sideline and empty promises are no longer tolerated.
                            Thank you for your service, time to move on.
                            You have lost control of this team.
                            Sorry, but time for a change.

                              what's amazing to me is that with as a result of how bad the offense has been - our defense has been on the field for far more plays. you would think the law of averages would catch up with us and we'd at least luck into a fumble or an interception.

                              it's absurd that we can't get the ball.
