NFL is the new WWE

[Cras108er]

Not buying it! There are just too many miraculous endings for my blood. Why in the world would you keep Ben on the sideline, and only bring him in for the “game winning” drive.

I can’t explain how it all works, and who is involved, but it’s just a little too suspicious for me that there is rarely a blow out anymore. The majority of games come down to the final drive (remember the old days when networks used to cut away to a more competitive game)? Of all the games this week, THREE were decided by more than a TD. Coincidence?

I believe we’re all being manipulated... and you know what, we’ll all be sitting in front of our TV’s next week.

No conspiracy just ****** coaching.

The Steelers got every single break in this game from a penalty standpoint and still could not beat a 2-10 football team. I don't even know what to say other that four people should be told to take the bus back home....Tomlin, Boswell, whoever the dumbass D coordinator is and Morgan Burnett.

Well...yeah. It is the WWE.

I wont even go into how I feel about it anymore. I'm making my way slowly to the exit anyway. The thrill is just about gone. The old steeler way isn't coming back and we damn sure will never ever ever ever ever win with what we have had going on with defense over 8 years now. I'd rather go to the gym take a Sunday trip in my car or go fishing than endure this nonsense.

Does make me question why I invest the time I do (which is WAY more than I should) into the game. It’s either fixed, or I care more about them winning then they do. There is something wrong with that picture.

Don't be mad at the NFL. Be mad at tomlin and th eSteelers. The Steeelrs got just about every call today. There was nothing WWE about that. That is just a bad defense and a jackass head coach. Nothing more.

I've said it before.. Once Ben retires, I will probably slowly stop watching Steeler games.
I can't take these "look at me" players on the field, specifically defense. For example, on the fumble given to Mike Hilton, the entire defense runs to endzone to pose for a picture like they did something.. I actually felt embarrassed for them. That being said, the coaches have no issue with this behavior so I can't fault them.

I thought the same thing, when the defense was exhorting the crowd to make noise in the last two drives. I’d have preferred they just make a play.

As far as the “look at me behavior,” tell me a team that doesn’t do it. This is not your father’s NFL, and you have to adapt with the times.

The Steelers have adapted too much with the so called times and joined the circus. They have nothing special going for them that sets them apart anymore. Just history and an old standard that's dead.

Not a single championship they've won was by being look at me dingbats or soft on defense.

They need some major ******* changes.
