Thanks for everything Ben

Unfortunately Ben will always be known for never being able to beat the patriots when it mattered, of course not always Ben’s fault. This is Brady and Belichicks last run this year. On the bright side maybe we can sneak in next year.

The offense did their job today. How about the defense generate something called a TO. A sad effort today. Whether by the coaches and/or players....or both. Just said effort on defense.

I agree Still. Two of our highest paid players were invisible tuitt and Heyward.

Agreed. I stated as much in other threads. they were completely invisible today.
 
Ben, AB and Bell in the fold there's no reason this team shouldn't win it all.

All focus and attention should be on the defensive side of the ball. Losing Shazier = losing in the playoffs this year.

Simple as that.

Cant underestimate how big it was. The screen Fort missed on Yeldon was huge Shazier makes that play all day. Countless other plays also. His speed was missed..along with his abilty to diagnose plays
 
They fire Tequila Todd yet?
No, I'm serious!

The first goaline TD with Fournette leaping over the line? It means nothing, but I'd guess Shazier would have met him at the point of contact and kept him out of the endzone. But who cares? This D had very little to show tongiht, which was a sad, sad thing to watch.

Go back in to hibernation. Only reason this team is worth a **** is because of Big Ben. Cannot wait for him to retire and watch the shitshow. No wonder Bradshaw hates Pittsburgh because of (so called) fans like you.

He's a ******* troll. Fan of another team reveling in the Steeler's loss.

I said the same thing especially considering he did it the first game. Ryan may have been ready for it. He was a huge loss..surprised they were able to overcome it in the earlier games
 
What bothers me about this year is we're exactly where we were last year with all this post-loss enthusiasm, but go kicked to the curb one round earlier.

Truthfully, I think many of us are choosing enthusiasm over apathy. I said yesterday when Romo was blowing the Jags on national tv that we could expect to not get any calls in this game. And ....
Now, I'm not saying "fixed" per se, but I do believe that it's encouraged that certain teams don't get calls at certain times ... and I believe Romo was foreshadowing what occurred today. Even having thoughts like that and knowing/believing your team will have to overcome the other team and and the refs ... Apathy.

There's not a rule that says the D has to give a TD after an INT, they could've held them to 3.
You want to put 14 points on Ben, the D still gave up 31 points and around 375 yards and how many 3rd and longs to that **** O?
If you were told pregame that Ben's stats would be near 70% completion %, 5tds, 1 int and 470 yards, everyone would've signed on for that.

Exactly! Could not have said it better. Loss is on poor defense and horrendous coaching from Tomlin.

Ben threw for 469 yards and 5 tds.... lets blame him for the int return and the fumble... and the 14 points that came off of it...he had two fourth down passes for tds that equal those out... Ben might not be blameless but he was not the reason they lost...this was 95% coaching and the football world nearly unanimously agrees... Tomlin is a meh head coach with a loaded roster... he ain't **** and its well proven now... the nfl is laughing at him right now...
 
What bothers me is we wasted another year of a future hall of famer's career with poor coaching and selfish players who talk **** and haven't won ****, Bell, Brown, Mitchell, etc.

Players like ben don't come around often and his success and continued great play will make it almost impossible to draft another any time soon.
