Having had a day to digest another loss that "we should have won", I realize that all is not lost, but certainly getting close. I've been a Steeler fan since the days of Jock Sutherland and the single wing and will continue to be, but this year is the same as last and the same as the one before that.
Given all of the tumult that has surrounded the Jets in the past few weeks, I'm not really surprised that they pulled out a win. We again shot ourselves in the foot and could possibly do it again on Monday night against another team that desperately needs a win on national TV.
The thing that concerns me most of all is all of the love being shown to Big Ben. Am I missing something here?? People are throwing around telephone numbers ( read 25 mil ) for his new contract extension. I like Ben as well as the next guy, but someone please tell me how a guy on this way to his third straight 8-8 season can even be considered for that kind of money. We certainly need a lot of help whether it be in free agency or contract extensions ( if you can think of anyone who deserves one ) and a raise above his current 20 mil is unwaranted in my mind!
A franchise OB as he is purported to be does not lose games to the likes of Tampa Bay, Jax, and the dog ass Jets. A franchise QB puts the team on his back and wills it to win. Not happening here as far as I can see.
As the CEO of my company I understand if a key employee has one bad year, but after the third straight bad year I make a move. Whether it is Colbert, Tomlin, Haley, LeBeau or Ben, a business can't be run like this!
Signing off until mock draft season. One more thing: I think the boys ought to take Mike Mitchell out behind the barn to teach him about being a Steeler. Can you imagine the angst in the burg if someone did that to Ben???

Got to think about the future Steelers right? How many on this board would be in on the trade Ben song if the Titans make the Steelers look stupid again? There are a few I think that will be singing away.
