    This team needs to lose a ton more games to get better.. We need Tuit and McCullers on the D- line.. They are not better now but they will be better before the years end if they can play.
    We need M. Bryant - Ben has been begging for a big receiver.. Watching the games, when we do give him time - the receivers are not getting open.. He could use a big Target.
    We need Shazier - yes he is a rook and yes he makes mistakes but he is the only chance we have at making big plays.. Right now this Defense has nobody able to make a big play.. That use to be Troys job but at this point he is serviceable at best (and that's being kind)

    Firing the coaches and bringing in a whole new staff will put us 2 maybe 3 years away.. I believe Tomlin can have this turned around by the end of this year and by next year we could be on our way.

    This team is in a rebuild.. We really need to open our eyes to that reality. Play the young guys, coach them up.. Stop with all these old band-aids.
    Money. Before we decide to get rid of all hope, let's see the new guys.

      It is the same situation, if you are being objective. I am. (As I said, I'm not a Tomlin "fan".) Cowher's teams took a few season dump after that first SB group.
      Which I could accept because we didn't have a franchise QB? Tomlin has had one his entire career and one in his prime. How bad would this team be with Landry Jones? If Tomlin can't get it right now what makes you think he will with Ben's replacement.

        when you don't have a franchise QB you can spend that money in other places... this is why we were solid until we played a game that mattered under Cowher for most of his career.

        I think it's unfair to point to the franchise QB because Ben has been to 2 SB's in 8 years with Tomlin. That's impressive whether you like the man or not. How many SB's has Peyton been too? Rodgers, Ryan, Rivers?

        Just sayin... other teams have franchise QB's and miss the playoffs...

        I think it's more than the QB..this D sucks too. I don't know.. I think it's unfair to "accept it" under Cowher but demand 4 or 5 SB's or no losing seasons with Tomlin.

          Landry Jones can throw a screen pass, too...
          Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.
