It should have never came to this......

Exciting to watch cleveland almost pull it off - but like Tomlin said, the Steelers made their bed.

Gonna be a looooooong off season as they try to figure this out.

[Moonie]

Absolutely maddening season, with the Browns bookcasing either end!

[SteelBucks]

Truely disappointing season.

[pittpete]

Shoulda,woulda,coulda
Tomlin's safe, he beat the lowly Bengals

[steelz09]

It's simply unbelievable that this team was incapable of making the playoffs.

What an epic meltdown.

Craziness.

[Sword]

Just bad.... we made our bed.....

Probably. There will be some change but not what most want.

[steelz09]

Can anyone else believe that the Steelers won't play again for almost 9 months?

Ughhh. I'm depressed

I can't believe the season is over for this team. How freakin' disappointing.

Lev Bell
Turnovers
Ben sitting in Oakland
Missed FGs
Fake punt
Clock mismanagment
Special teams
Losing every challenge
Off field drama

Could go on and on and on. Bottom line is, this was one of the biggest collapses I've witnessed in 40+ years watching football. Not like this was a .500 team that lost a few in a row. This was a SB favorite that missed the playoffs. Seriously, when has this happened?

Big changes need made. Tomlin and Butler need to go. The defense needs a complete overhaul. Spend some $ on legit free agents. Get some better scouts for the draft.

Totally agree. Worse yet is my Eagles wife is happy.

only fitting we lose out in last min of the ravens-browns' game ... how many did we lose 4-5 games like that add the ravens-browns game too..

where do we go now...

coaching staff- ST and revamp D
free agency- we have to be spenders this year
draft- need a playmaker or two on D!

Thing is, next season isn't going to be easy, and we probably come out third in the conference.
Cleveland and Baltimore have found their franchise QBs and are playing really well. We, on the other hand, have an aging QB, and a fairly lame coaching staff.

7-2-1 to 9-6-1 is almost the same level as the 98 meltdown. That was followed by several years of bottom dwelling in which we managed to snag a few future stars. I suspect we'll see the same here now.

Yinz do realize the robbers in stripes robbed the Browns of a TD today? How fitting. They stole the San Diego and New Orleans games from us. Yep, with all that went on this year, we still make the playoffs if not for the zebras.

After watching this $hitshow for the past 5 weeks, 9 months won't be long enough!
