It was kinda touching to see Ben & Pouncey crying on the bench. It’s at least nice to know they still give a $hit.

Usually when you see guys like those guys, football warriors, crying at the end of a playoff game .... It signals they've been discussing hanging up their cleats.
It's going to be an interesting offseason

Wow, that was painful. Lots of changes needed. I'd start with Tomlin, hell he was outcoached by a replacement ST coach for God's sakes. However, we all know that isn't gonna happen. And yes, Sorry, I know I'll catch hell for this but IMO Bens gotta go. Not gonna get into the history, we all know how great he was and how much he contributed to the franchise's success during his career but there is no way a team can afford to pay $41MM for that level of production. I'm hoping that he decides to go out on his own terms but if not, you gotta cut him. Otherwise we'll be treading water for another couple years delaying our inevitable rebuild.

if we had a run game and a decent Oline then Ben could be The QB to win it all but you can't put all the responsability on him at this point of his career.

Also the D **** the bed in a way that I haven't seen in at least 3 years

It's incredibly similar to the last playoff debacle against the Jags. Same ****. This team is always poorly coached in the playoffs. I've had enough of Tomlin, done.

last year Lamar Jackson played like **** in the playoffs and fell behind in the first half then put up big stats in the second and the media retroactively proclaimed he played a great game. Ben did the same and everyone will say it shows he's finished.

No QB can excel with what the Steelers have right now. Our OL cannot run block, our LT is WORTHLESS, we have no running game at all. I don’t care how great or young your QB is, they will not have much success with no balance at all.

It certainly makes you wonder

Just like Ryan Clark just said it is time to blow this entire thing up. We have grown old, stale and soft., damn that's the way my wife describes me.

Blown it up now? what the *** does Clark think we’ve been doing? Gone are sanders, bell, brown, foster, Gilbert, we’ve been turning over the roster. Fichtner just doesn’t belong organizing the offense. Not sure which is worse his offense or Tomlin’s inability to see how ****** it is. We have no running game because Ben can’t get under center, Ben’s lack of mobility combined with his inaccurate throws over the last half dozen games has Been hellish. Only way to save this team is bring new coordinators in to give the talent we have a new lot in life.
