Well in all my years watching Steelers football this 2017 season is without question one of if not the most disappointing seasons in Steelers history because this team is just too talented to under perform in big games! Sorry but 8 pro bowlers on this team and plenty of veteran players with the best O-line in football and this is how the season ends! A disgraceful loss to loose this one like they did at home to one the worst starting QB's in the NFL who only managed to put up 10 points at home vs Bills! Absolutely pathetic! The Defensive performance today was completely disgraceful! Yes I know Ben made some mistakes but the offense played well enough to win this one.....so I do not blame Ben or the offense for this loss. With regards to the offense I just don't understand the offensive play calling on short yardage...especially on 3rd & 4th and short throughout the game! If I'm Rooney I promote Munchak to OC and Fire Todd Haley also. Hopefully that will keep Munchak in the burgh for a few seasons til Ben retires!

I honestly feel if the Steelers can load up on some impact players on Defense in the 2018 NFL Draft or Free Agency this team will be right back in the thick of it all in 2018. They gotta get a ball hawking Free Safety in the Draft as Mike Mitchell's time in Steel Town needs to end. They also need ILB & OLB as Bud Durpree is ******* terrible and we need to replace Shazier who will never sniff the field again!

Such a disappointing end to the season! Another heart breaking year! UGH!

Game Balls:
Antonio Brown - You might not have been 100% today but your effort today shined through 7 rec 132 yds 2 TD's
Ben Roethlisberger - Thanks for giving it everything you had today.....just wasn't enough today! Hope you come back next season. 469 yds 5 TD's.
LeVeon Bell - Great TD catch to help get things started today 155 all purpose yds today. Hope we can resign him to a long term deal in the off-season.


Game Goats:
Entire Steelers Defense - You didn't even show up for this game.....completely asleep the whole ******* game! YOU GUYS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES! ******* DISGRACEFUL!!! You really did Ryan proud today! I don't think you could stop a Pop Warner team today!


FU's:
Mike Mitchell - A special **** YOU! One of the worst Free Agent acquisitions since Tim McKyer.....I hope you never suit up as a Steeler again!
Todd Haley - Great play calling today on short yardage situations! I've never seen worse play calling in short yardage! I HOPE YOU GET FIRED!!!
Keith Butler - This guy has gotta go! HOW THE **** DO YOU ALLOW BLAKE ******* BORTLES TO TEAR YOU UP? BRING IN REX RYAN as our new DC!
Mike Tomlin - Somehow I don't think this guy will ever get FIRED because of the color of his skin! But I'd fire the guy based on the content of his character which reflects directly on his team's performance! The onsides kick call was a terrible call with over 2 mins to go! OBVIOUSLY!

The defense should be in the FU category. And skin color has nothing to do with Tomlin's tenure. No team would fire a coach with his record.

Munchak has done great work with the O line. I will leave it up to those who know MUCH more than I about if he could be the OC.
 
Not a single big play by the defense...3rd down conversions ALL DAY LONG

except after the Onside kick...hahahahahahaha
 
If we don't draft a QB in round 1, which I don't expect, pick the biggest and baddest NT on the board. We need Big Snack II or our D will continue to get shredded by the run. They have only gotten worse under Butler.

It won't be a glamorous pick but a much needed one.

I've been wanting an NT for the longest time. A NT who requires a double team would free up so much more with our blitz packages

All those high draft picks on the D-line and they couldn't so ****. smh

Have you guys watched the games all season? Hargrave is a good NT but he's only playing half the plays a game if he's lucky! Steelers have been using most two DL and to OLB's.

I'm sorry but our OLB's.....Bud Durpree especially.....SUCKS! We need an OLB who can get around the edge and also set and hold the edge!
 
I agree with the original post, and would add Vance McDonald had a nice game.
I wish he could have come back for the ball a little bit and broke up that interception, but he was a real weapon today.
