Rough times for us all; Please read

[Steel Maniac]

Hey, all of us Steeler fans are facing a lot of disappointment (to say the least ) right now. There are a million things we are all upset about and with Ben hurt for who knows how long, leaves a ton of uncertainty in the air. We are hurting as a fan base. But I think the best thing we can do is just try and look at this as a transitional time for us. Rudolph showed real promise; brought an energy and moved the offense.

I don't know what's going to happen over the next two to three weeks but I can feel change coming. I"m not exactly sure of all the areas we are going to experience change but change none the less. I think all of us feel this change and change brings uncomfortability. I'm uncomfortable as hell right now but I feel that our organization is like a cat; and will ultimately land on its feet.

What I'm asking all of us to do is let's be kind to each other. We all want the same positive things for our team. Let's just be kind to each other through all of this. The language between some posters is getting bad. These are rough waters right now so let's all row together in the same direction. We all want the same thing for this team.

If I disrespect anyone please forgive me in advance. But losing makes us all miserable, but this year is different. I feel like the team is helpless which magnify the misery...
Some people don't even come on this board after a loss because, this board is used to vent.

Well said. Its not the end of the world. The glass is always half full if you choose to see it that way versus seeing the worst in all things.

I think it might help if we kept off topic conversations (re: politics, race, etc.) in the off topic part of the forum.

[Eich]

Agree. We can all stop with “I told you so” posts. We’re all upset about the current state of the team. This is a place to vent. “I told you so”’s only irritate more.

No problem bro; we all are hurting. These type of things don't happen to us much and it's upsetting and unsettling.

We have been forced into transition. Not a poster in here likes how this is feeling right now. We gotta ride it out and trust that Colbert and management will get it right. Believe me, I bet there meeting today to assess the overall damage to this team. Ton of areas to address. But they have little time to do it because they have to head to the west coast to take on the 49ers.

Hey, I"m just saying something that Oviedo or someone else would eventually say. I've just never seen this board so upset overall. Like an all time high. And it's not because there are bad dudes in here per say; it's just because were upset and are being forced into transition. Being forced into anything pisses people off. There are diehard Steeler fans in this room and unfortunately, we are dying hard. LOL. Let's hang together. It's gonna work out.

You should have been around during the Trib days. I thought that board would burn down after a loss.

[flippy]

I can't speak for others, but I like to vent incoherently after a loss sometimes. It's cathartic. But don't take any of my nonsense seriously. I still honestly believe we'll finish 14-2 somehow.

I assume the same about others. They're just normal people like you or I posting nonsense on a message board. Complete gibberish sometimes. But I'm not sure people type what they mean or mean what they say half the time. I think intention gets lost in typed text 99% of the time. So I assume everyone is a goof just like me and insanely happy about everything most of the time

[Ghost]

So we're supposed to hold hands, eat s'mores, and sing kumbya after 2 losses and a hurt QB. F*ck that....

[Steel Maniac]

I hear you Flippy, we are all feeling it right now. Big time. We are dazed and angry at the turn of events. Injuries all over the team as well.

It might have to be Mason. We WILL return to glory!

IT WILL WORK!
