Steelers VS the rats game thread part deux- hashtag season finale or is it ?

No one is pounding their chests. Just sick to death of irrational anger when it isn’t warranted given the situation. I am proud they played hard all year. I am mortified by the play calling on offense and think we need a philosophy change their if we have any chance when Ben retires and we have average QB play. This year we didn’t even get that. Overall I thought this year was a fun ride today’s game aside and even today if we don’t have Hodge **** down his leg in the first half we would have had a chance to win. Our mistakes just fueled those *******.

Make sure you grab your participation award. You should also realize after the second straight December collapse,last years with Ben your
Steelers
Have in trenched themselves into the dick sucking teams of the league. Enjoy watching the playoffs and remember the
Whopping 3 playoff wins in ten years and counting
 
A big deal? It was the only deal. None of the other injuries even mattered all that much after Ben. Other franchises don’t lose Hall of Famers and do any better without some really abnormal happening. Ben was the one Injury we could not afford to have this year. Period.

Well if Ben is the only deal, shame on the Steelers organization for not having a better plan B, or in our case plan C. Please tell me there wasn't somebody out there better than ******* Devlin Hodges.

It was a bigger deal because the team failed to bring in a vet. Not sure why that fact is being overlooked. Bad decisions again from beginning to end. They even refused to give Lynch a try at halftime. No passes from me at all.

Today’s game aside? Good God man. What about last week.....the week before? No spark,no game plan,no fluidity. Another collapse.

My worry is ,us fans might have overestimated our D. Against good opponents when it really counted,they kind of **** the bed as well.

A-*******-men.

You stop your bitching and whining like we were going to win anything without Ben. And no it really isn’t. Come to ducking Cincinnati if you want to see a ******* Micky Mouse run organization. We have warts but Jesus Christ man we are still one of the best organizations in the league. Opinions like yours are why people think we are all ********. I am pissed and disappointed again this year. I still have more to cheer about in the end then any of the ******* living around me. It is all about your perspective.

Tomlin is not going anywhere. If he doesn’t get the offense fixed he won’t be here a year from now. I truly think he got as much out of this team as anyone would have.

I promise you this. If Ben comes back healthy and we still suck I will be all aboard the time for a change train.

I don't think fans are irrational at all. Every year is groundhog day and most fans are sick of it.

Same bullshit new year. It's always some ******* excuse for failure. The coach fanboys will always have excuses.

They haven't accomplished a damn thing since 2008.

I don’t think we are. Considering how abysmally bad the offense has been I think they should get even more credit. **** they live on the goddamn field.

They got a good old fashioned straight up run the ball down your throat *** kicking. Soft in the middle and always open for cutback runs.

seriously? I live in the Cincinnati area too, you don't have to tell me about the Bengals. we WERE one of the best organizations in the league, like, a decade ago; now we have good days from time to time, but we're pretty much a run-of-the-mill average organization now. and honestly, i don't buy your bullshit about being "all aboard for regime change", you'll still be suckling at tomlin and co's teet, even if the **** show continues next season. your fanboy'ism from the last couple of years proves that.

I don’t disagree Sarge, but considering the choices out there and looking to the future after Ben I think they gambled in trying to develop guys. We all were happy when the kept Mason and Hodges over Dobbs. I did not see any complaining by any of us then. Hindsight is 20 20. After the season started their were not many options.

We have bad Ben for a long time and still suck.. you should be on that train and should have been for a while. Tomlin was outcoached down the stretch and allows Fichtner to run the same garbage each and every week.

The choices? Sign ******* Ryan Fitzpatrick or any competent vet QB and we’re a playoff team with a chance. How they allowed for Rudolph and Duck to be 2 and 3 is insane. Tomlin thinks he’s a genius that can make ****** players good, it’s actually quite the opposite.

**** we should go watch the game at Martinos and argue over beers. More fun that way. Look I get the anger. I used to get that way. I have just tried very hard to be more positive in my life as I have said before.

I am sorry if I come down to hard on the negativity but it just gets under my skin during a loss like this when I am trying to maintain my own composure. We are Steeler fans in the end.

Dobbs is not a better plan B, C, D, or E. Pittsburgh sports fans have this thing with over valuing mediocre talent. Nate McClouth is a perfect example. The fanboy nonsense over Duck is just the latest. And since that predictably failed, we are gonna go back to "Oh lawd, if only we had kept Josh Dobbs." Really?
