    These players need to understand that the standard is still the standard and they need to protect every blade of grass or their jobs will be at jeopardy.

    This combination of players/coaches are really setting one hell of a standard.

      It is interesting though, how us and the Giants parallel in so many ways.

      1) Draft a franchise QB in '04
      2) Win two SBs with said franchise QB
      3) Having a putrid season in '13, highlighted by embarrassing blowout losses

      Though, I haven't been paying attention to them much, and they haven't had quite the record-setting futility that our team has had.

        Giants lost to the Panthers 38-0...and Eli and the O has had 5 TO's in more than a few games...

        I live in Charlotte and a coworker is a Giants fan... trust me, we are definitely spoiled.

          Tomlin says to Ben "Just Let it Go"....WTF....Ben should have gone after his WR for running poor routes but Tomlin thinks otherwise...

          Tomlin is too friendly with his players...time for a change IMO...
          I so agree with that!!! Ben should have been in the WR face yelling WTF!!!! that clearly wasn't Ben's fault nor was the one where he had no room nor no time.....

            Disagree BIG TIME. The time to "show leadership" isn't on the sideline. In fact, anytime I seeing outright yelling, imploring, etc. during a football game, that is the death knell for that team (that game). The time for accountability is during the week. Make guys accountable then... if they continue to make mistakes, bench them. If they make mistakes and have no redeeming value, CUT THEM. Yelling at the WR in the heat of the moment does nothing.

              The one that Ben threw in the endzone was entirely his own fault.. He sidestepped the defensive player in his face allowing him to step into the throw. Instead, he basically threw a pass with his eyes closed that had zero chance of completion. That was giving ZERO effort. That's not elite QB play by any stretch. That was UNACCEPTABLE and he's done that on several occasions this year.

                I am old enough to remember the last 2 SB's of the 70's so I've seen some pretty bad teams through the 80's and early 2000's. But yesterday was the first time I ever recall a Steelers team looking HELPLESS. It sickens me to even think it but it's true. The Pats were having their way with the D and knew it. I mean they didn't even look professional out there. Totally lost. They were the team we have all made fun of when it was the Browns. I don't think there is any chance to turn it around this season but I sure as hell hope we don't have to watch failure at that level again ever (or at least a very long time).

                  If he didn't throw it, it would have most likely resulted in a safety.

                      You must not remember the first two games of the '89 season...
                      Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                        Yeah, it is funny how people forget so quick. This game may have been the highest point total, but that one year when Baltimore put a BEATING on us and Ben was easily more sickening than this game. Or the AFCC game, when these same Cheats*, ran up the score after presumably taping our practices. Or even the game where Gannon threw about 75 pass attempts, because we were so inept at stopping it. Not to mention those two games in '89.

                          What's funnier is people that try to obfuscate by point out games that DIDN'T have the defense giving up 55 points and 611 yards. Yes, those games happened but NONE of them compare to this ass whoopin'.

                            Watch the replay. He sidestepped that rusher.... he wasn't going to get sacked. It was completely unacceptable for him to throw that pass.
