How many things had to break badly for the Steelers to miss the playoffs. Missed field goal vs. Cleveland, complete bullshit calls vs. Chargers and New Orleans. Blown call today on a scoop and score by Cleveland. All they needed was 10 more yards to get in field goal range. I bet if you looked at everything it's like one thing in maybe 10 to 15. Most talented team out of the playoffs. Thanks Mike and thanks NFL. **** ya'll.

I think only one thing broke - a long time ago: LeVeon Bell. For whatever reason, management dismissed him and as a result the Steelers wasted perhaps Ben's last good year. Befuddling, but it speaks volumes as to what the ownership values in terms of on the field product.

Dismissed him? What does that even mean? They offered him almost 15mil to play football, they offered him 70mil over a span of 4 seasons... yes, very dismissive.

70 million for marginal improvement over his backup. There is a reason why RBs don't make WR money and Conner proved that this season.

This is the thing.... you have to expect to lose a couple games due to incompetence or illicit reffing and honestly a couple to bad breaks too. There are always going to be good teams on the schedule that even if you play your best, a few bad bounces or bad calls and a game you played good enough to win becomes a loss.
Thats why you cannot overlook the ****** teams. Honestly if not for Bens heroics at the end of the hame we lose to a bad jags team and are already out of the playoffs yesterday

The saints and charger game were travesties, and KC and the zravens just beat us
But the Cleveland tie was absolutely avoidable... we had a huge 4 th quarter lead.
The Denver loss to a mediocre team was probably avoidable, and the oakland loss was inexcusable....

How about fumbles at the goal line?

In Denver, the Grimble loses the ball before crossing the goal line, and the ball goes out of bounds in the endzone -- touchback for Denver.

In New Orleans, tackle at the goal line causes a fumble that goes out of bounds at the 1 yard line - Saints setup with ball at the 1.

All in how the ball bounces.

Been wanting them to put Adeniyi in ever since they activated him. What's the worst that can happen, he makes a play? But no, it's more of friggen Bud.

Dupree never misses his assignment. Well, I mean, if his assignment is charging up the field while the running back scoots around his side of the field for another 15-yard gain. He never misses THAT assignment.
