Get rid of these coaches and trade AB and start rebuilding this team. They have become stale all the way around.

A lot of tough seasons ahead for the Steelers. Ben should retire and let the rebuilding begin. Tomlin should be fired. The Steeler organization has been officially destroyed.

In free agency bad teams can get good quickly. We won’t be bad for “a lot of seasons” - especially if Dobbs can take the reins. But yes we are bad now and we should get what we can for AB and Bell now

two games in a row, 0 points in the second half. The D deserves the bitching, but what's up with the offense? This team is a mess.

Exactly. The team is incapable of playing a complete game. Either the offense or defense is trash. Can’t play 4 good quarters. Just all around **** show. I know we are mocked as fans for calling for Tomlin’s head. But this team will ***never*** win anything else of substance with him

Yep. I'm all for blowing this **** up. Get a competent staff in place, trade off our assets for quality picks and young, solid building blocks and go from there. This team in its current incarnation is achieving jack squat
 
Defense
Zero pass rush
Can't cover
Can't stop the run
Can't tackle without giving up 2-10 extra yards after contact

Offense
More cold than hot
No consistency

Special Teams
Inconsistency at kicker
Punter is "below the line"


Coaching
Never knows when to challenge (this is not a new problem)
Not prepared for the start of games.
Lack of discipline with all the penalties
You cant tell me that locker room is not filled with tension and attitudes.

Looking forward......
Ben will see the window is closed, and he will retire at years end.
Bell will be gone
AB should be traded, he is a **** stirrer, and will not allow Rudolph to grow properly.
Take ABs trade value and invest in the defense.
If both coordinators are getting fired, you might as well get rid of the man on top as well.

Upon further review.....
The window closed when Shazier hit the Cincinnati turf.
 
Tomlin is brain dead. Tonight he challenged a play that left us with a 2nd and i instead of 1st and 10. Unbelievable, 2nd and 1 is the much preferred down but then crimsonsteel told me I was an idiot for disagreeing and it was a good use of the flag. Tomlin has the lowest football and situational IQ of any coach ever, males Rich Kotite look competent in comparison.

Trade AB? Really? Some of you guys are just over the top. Ben couldn't hit a barn that second half. AB isn't the problem.

Team is so far from competing for a championship so might as well try to get a younger player and / or high draft picks for him. They can lose with or without him.

I don’t think AB is the problem. But I think the argument is that we are never winning with this core of players anyway so we might as well trade them for picks and rebuild. But yes Ben is absolutely a huge part of the problem

Start benching under performers.

Besides canning Butler tomorrow, that is a good place to start.
 
I'm not trading my best players. I'm dumping the coaches and looking at upgrading next year. They will need a stud running back. I like Conner don't get me wrong but he is not an every down back. Sorry. Nice kid. Good competitor but Bell is at home laughing now.
 
I don't know about yall, but I'm tired of hearing that this is a great o-line. They suck as well. We had to know this would go south with all the bs interviews early on. Everybody's trying to be a media darling. They need to shut the **** up and just play football!

I understand the trade AB sentiment. We never won with him and won’t likely in the future. And yes he will be bad for Rudolph’s development since he’s all about his numbers and brand.
We need to see where we end up this season record wise, most likely 8-7 -1, 7-8-1 and start the building process.
Bring in a young, aggressive coach like the Jags defensive coordinator and let him build his coaching staff,
Hopefully but doubtfully get a second round pick for Bell. That would go a long way in fixing things.
Move AB for a first which in all likelihood causes Ben’s retirement.
Should have ample amount of cap space to add some solid defensive players.
A couple first round picks, maybe two seconds and we can draft a RB,WR, LT and a couple defensive players.
Let Dobbs and Rudolph fight it out and grow with the liked of JuJu, Washington, Vance and JJ. Add in a high pick RB and WR and let it rip.
Use your cap space to add top tier ILB, CB and DL to play NT.

The Steeler coaching staff is a joke. I agree. I don't think it's a stretch to imagine other coaching staffs laughing at them in their meetings. Makes me sick.
 
Ben's career is winding down. If we're gonna suck then let's suck now and get it over with. Ben should retire.

Perhaps Ben shoulda taken a page out of Vontae Davis's book and just retired at halftime.
 
Not sure about trading AB but if we can get a pick for Bell, that will help. And, with Bell gone and Shaziers 8+ million off the books next year, that gives us $20+ million right there plus what we are saving this year on Bell not showing up. We should be able to bring in at least 2 or 3 good free agents for the first time, probably ever. And, we should be doing that. We should be active on day 1 of free agency. I don't know if we re-sign any of our own free agents. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone I'd keep. Maybe re-sign Haden but not at top CB money as he has lost a half step (not sure if it's a nagging hammy or not).
