Mike Tomlin is full of win

Losses to Ravens, Bears, Chiefs, Raiders, and Browns, none of them have a winning season (only Ravens are 0.50 IIRC).

Do they still have Bucs/Rams to play?
 
I could only watch the first half. It was at that point that I knew that was going to be an "L".

Fucking Super Bowl hangover...I guess? This team stinks.
 
Add the Browns to that.

Did I miss something? When did Ben Roethlisberger mutate into Drew Bledsoe?

Based on what I saw, that might be a bit of a stretch. The first half the Browns were coming at him untouched. Even with his ability to escape the pocket he's not going to be able to get away from a LB or CB coming full speed without any blocking.

As I said in the other thread, I couldn't watch the 2nd half as it was too painful. Was he a statue in that one, or did he just have no time?

Even when he got time he made alot of low/one hop throws . I counted at least 3times where he would just throw it way short of an open wr . The attempted 4th down with the game on the line should have been picked also

The earlier sacks probably got in his head a bit (or the concussion ;) )

I'm so glad I didn't watch the rest of that game. What a letdown this season has been.

At least now I can enjoy the playoffs instead of being stressed out to the max like I was last year. :headache:

it was a terrible night to be throwing the ball anyways...he short hopped a lot but sometimes the browns would send 5-6 guys, one would come untouched...it wasn't like a Jets blitz...just a blitz I felt they could pick up...Steelers did a lot of 5 wide as well.

Arians obsession with passing a lot is getting unbearable, especially with how good Mendenhall looks when he gets consistent carries and can get a rhythm going. Get fucking Willie Parker out of there too.
 
Arians is an awful offensive coordinator, lol @ the steelers going 5 wide when our protection sucks enough as it is, and Ben's failure to make a quick hot read out of that set when needed. Not Ben's strength...

The season has been a loss because of this defense, however. They've given up more 4th quarter points then anyone in the league. Troy Polamalu is without a doubt the best player on the Steelers and his loss is staggering to say the least. He is the Steelers at this point.
 
I refuse to believe, no matter how good he is, that a safety is what makes the Steelers defense. Or any defense, for that matter.

Sorry, just can't get behind that. The Steelers have bigger issues than Polamalu.

The proof is out there, not sure what more you need. He's the best player on the team and is the biggest playmaker. The safety position is much more important than it used to be in these times, especially with the way the Steelers utilize Troy. Without him, we force no turnovers and give up more points. I've posted the stats a million times. He covers the holes in the secondary when he roams and baits QBs into bad reads and throws, which is why we're able to blitz so successfully with him. Without, we get torched down the field with ease. It's pathetic.

losing aaron smith hurt too.
 
Yeah it's clearly Troy's fault that the offense puts up 6 points against the fucking Browns.

While I do see what you are saying, and was in agreement with that line of thought earlier in the year: this team has lost important games because of their defense not being the same as it is with Troy in the lineup. At first I was against Korny on this point, but he's right: they're a different team defensively without him in there. At least, they are this year. I don't know what it is, but they just can't get it done. The offense STUNK against the Browns, but in most, if not all, of the other terrible losses, it was the defense coming up short.

no, troy is not the steelers... but the horrible o-line, ben holding on to the ball too long, the lack of any kind of rushing attack, a sorry as fuck special teams unit, piss poor CB play, and moronic offensive play calling are to blame.... also...

losing aaron smith hurt too.

this. arron smith being out is a huge reason our pass rush became noexsitent. also krirsche was out for signifigant time. troy is a game changer, but he is not the entire defense. the fact that you started this noise way back in week 2 after the bears loss only proves even more that you are a bandwagon fan and worse than aso when it comes to just repeating what your heroes say on espn and nfl.com. we have a team that does a 7 step dropon 3rd and 2 from 4 and 5 wide sets one week and tries to run the redskins couter tre 25 times the next. willie is not done, he can contribute when the o-line can actaully get a push instead of getting run over. mendenhall has ball security issues and is just not a bruiser like we need, but he should be ok as well. we need to fire bruce arians asap and get back to being a hard nosed team.

Bandwagon fan? LMAO! I've been on this team for years, numerous games I've seen, authentic jerseys of about 6 of our players -- just stop . I knew what I was talking about, you didn't THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. You're still so stubborn to admit I was right, for whatever reason.

And yes, one bad offensive game against the Browns now nullifies the point that the Steelers D without Polamalu is complete and utter ass...lmao. The truth hurts. Doesn't make me a bandwagon fan, but some one who actually knows what's going on. This season was lost on our defensive short-comings this year, especially in the fourth quarter.

sidenote: MENDENHALL is a bruiser we need, I have no idea what the hell you're saying there. He gets tough yards on the regular and has great vision, but he can only do much behind a shit offensive line and minimal rush attempts. Arians play-calling is awful. We have what we need at RB, and it isn't Willie Parker.
