    point shaving???

    I just bought a fitted tin foil new era ball cap. What the hell kind of play calling was that?

    We are playing against a good front 7 and we try to pass behind or at the LOS to beat them?

    1-8 vs teams with a .200 winning percentage. I really need to place a few crazy bets against this team next year when they play bad teams and I try to never bet against this team.

    Everyone I know who is a Steeler fan said the same thing all week. "I'm more worried the Jets and Titans of the league because we play down to the competition"

    Not sure how anyone can defend this teams play vs not so good teams since there is "no such thing" as a bad NFL team.

    Ben's triple coverage floater interception.
    Antonio Brown's muffed punt.
    William Gay's inability to catch a ball that Ike Taylor could have caught.
    Blount losing 9 yards on a goal line run
    The missed chip shot

    Blame the coaches and a poor game plan all you want, but damn, I was watching that game wondering if the Steelers were trying to lose.



    And while I'm at it, did anyone notice the Heywerd-Bey fumble against the Colts? He catches the ball, goes down, the defender reaches out to touch him, and then pulls back, then Heywerd-Bey gets up and loses the football. Why did the defender not touch him when he was on the ground?

      I'm sure there is some point shaving going on, but can't they still win the goddamn game anyway? Steelers 23 Jets 20 would still have busted the $$$$$$$ spread (ching bango), and kept us irrelevant fans happy.

          No such thing as a bad nfl team? Against us maybe. Every other good team knows how to handle the Raiders.

            In total, 12 losses against really bad teams. I can understand one here and there, happens to everyone, but there is something about how Tomlin prepares this team for heavy underdogs. They always play tight and spit the bit.

            2014: 0-3 Bucs, 1-8 Jets
            2013: 0-3 Vikes, 2-4 Raiders
            2012: 0-2 Raiders, 1-4 Titans, 2-8 Browns, 4-8 Chargers
            2009: 1-11 Browns, 2-7 Chiefs, 3-8 Raiders
            2007: 1-8 Jets

              Can you really count the Browns? We normally are there super bowl? If the "loser" team is amped way up to play you and you can't play good sound football you can lose or fight for your life. Let me add to Jiggawatts thought. Ben at the goal line throws into double coverage to AB. Should have been picked. Bad snap for what 16 yard loss. Bad call on Vick's fumble. No one grabbing the ball when Vick dropped it as Mitchell did the Polamalu! Ben not hitting open players instead of going for the bigger play. I am sure there is more BAD!
