Wow, I see the bandwagon got really light with our first loss

Nah. We just laid an egg. There were 2 other games we could have easily lost. Still a good team but not on KCs level.

I'm not giving up on the team. Never have. Never will. But if you think the current structure of this offense is going to win us a playoff game, well then I have some ocean front property to sell you on the coast of Antarctica.
 
Tom, nobody is leaving the bandwagon. It's just that it's been more and more evident over the last few games that the Steelers don't have anything left in the tank at this point in the season.

I don't expect them to win against the Bills. I'm not convinced this team can beat Indy or Cleveland. They'll probably get the Bengals. But they'll roll into the playoffs at 12-4, probably good enough for the now useless 2nd seed and they'll likely face the Titans or the Ravens week one.

And I imagine that will be it. Tomlin will get to speak of his amazing non-losing record and somehow people will say he did an AMAZING JOB, while blaming Ben for ******* everything up.

Wash
Rinse
Repeat.
 
Think they needed an L seems like the pressure was getting to them. Maybe they can just go back to playing ball now. They definitely need to change their offensive thinking though.
 
No running game. Bleeding defensive players left and right. I don't care what their season record is, this team will not get by KC unless COVID takes them out.
 
There is legitimate concern with the team being one dimensional that they won't be able to make a deep run in the playoffs. It's happened before and it's trending that way again. Maybe if the receivers were making plays, but these guys are dropping 5-7 passes a week right now. It's a tough December schedule, it's okay to think they're going to struggle in some more games this month because they will.
 
Well unless the playoffs start tonight then we have time to figure **** out

He turned his body inside. Had he turned to the outside he would have at least had a chance.

But again, the ******* playcall. When the WTFs needed a big play, they threw to a receiver. When the Steelers need a big play, they throw to an offensive lineman or a 3rd string running back.

You know what you need to know right there.

You guys need to read the game thread. No point watching the rest of the season, this team is done, shot, no chance, or so I was reading

if i read the game thread I would probably ban half the fucktards in it

this loss sucks, but at least it was to an NFC team.

still hold the 1 seed

bounce back and beat the bills.....hopefully our injuries today weren't too serious

Dude.
They can't run. I mean it really looks as though they are D3 college level capable at run blocking. I think the Montana Grizzlies could stuff this running game.

And cure cancer while they're at it.
 
Of course there's **** work on, but we will be getting Conner and Pouncey back, Haden as well. Theres a month before the playoffs start. Seattle lost at home to the Giants, KC who I think is the best team win their past 4 games by like a combined 15 points.

No loss is great, but honestly if we were going to drop one this was it... it slightly affects tge tiebreakers with Cleveland but not with KC... let them play Buffalo with better focus... and let Tomlin see the offensive playcalling is broken... he fixed the D last year in the same situation...

We just need to get dedicated to more running the ball. Yeah it may not yield much, but we have to at least show it to loosen up the coverage

I’m not convinced we have the talent to run it. Watch other NFL teams and every team has a few good runs, not us.
 
Nope they're having trouble for sure, they have a month to figure **** out.
