These squids live for an opportunity to convince themselves that the Steelers organization may someday be as horrible as the Browns organization, they can't see that the last 40 years have proven it ain't happnin!Now some dipstick come on here and refer to the Steelers horrible years in the 80's........unfortunately, they can't accept that those horrible years produced better records than 2/3 of the Browns records over the last 40 years.
It's a sickness!
Yeah, and Steeler fans are convinced their front office is so incredible, a return to 80's suckdom is impossible. I saw some cracks in the mighty Patriots foundation when the Ravens creamed them in the playoffs. Can't happen in Pittsburgh? Ask the 49ers about that. Bad draft or two, some key injuries and whammo.
So if you want to believe 5 consecutive losses to bottom feeder teams isn't a serious cause for concern be my guest.

I just want to remind everyone that we made Tomlin cry like a little girl this year.

Dude, you are just flat out stupid! Sorry but there is no other way to say it!

It would be terrible if the steelers were plagued with the same coaching problems which have occurred with the browns. Terrible, Terrible ...

2 super bowls last 4 years. no decline here! I'd say the browns are gay and cannot even get over .500.

Advice to the Steelers: Get Ben an o-line before you get him killed.
Rooney won't tolerate losing? He better get used to it IMHO. I haven't forgotten Bubby Brister and Kordell Stewart. Happens to every team. Better pray Polamalu can stay healthy. & Ward and Hampton are on the high side of 30. Say the Steelers have another down year, and he cans Tomlin. Got anymore rabbits you're gonna pull out of your hat?

And he'll prove it. NEXT YEAR. Because next year will be real interesting. SB run- you won a lot of close games, so was that the aberration high water mark, or was last year losing to the Raiders, Chiefs, and Browns the new reality for the Steelers? Six of the Steelers starters on D are over 30, the o-line is a mess, and if Ben goes down, you're headed to the AFC North basement.
Sorry to give you a reality check.

I agree. I am convinced that one of the reasons Cowher retired is that he saw it coming.

I'll be the first to admit that losing 5 games in a row for PGH sends a message to players and coaches. Tomlin has fired the offensive line coach and special teams coach but if another bad season happens I suspect Tomlin might be on his way out.
Words from Art Rooney II
1) Telling the coach you need to run the ball more consistently. Rooney said his coach has conveyed that to offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. "Mike has talked to Bruce about that." When the owner has to tell the coach how to coach that is not good.
2) Rooney said he is satisfied with the job Tomlin has done over the past three years, although he thought the final three games of the 2009 season were crucial both to the coach and the organization after a troubling five-game losing streak. "It was a rough stretch, it was very disappointing," Rooney said of the losing streak. "It basically cost us a chance to defend the title. Read crucial both to the coach and the organization after a troubling five-game losing streak.
3) "I think that was important for the organization and it was important for Mike to show everybody that he's the kind of coach who is not going to lose his team and [who will] keep them in the right direction all the way down to the end," said Rooney. "I think we learned something about Mike, and what we learned I think is positive for the future."
too many I thinks. Tomlin will be gone if he does not make the playoffs next year.
The Rooney's won't put up with losing. Tomlin better figure out how to win games like Cowher did or bye bye Mike.

The Steelers problems were not on offense. Nor the inability to run the ball. They lost three games because of awful special teams play. That reflects on Tomlin. If he does not fix that soon they will keep losing. They need to shore up special teams all of them return teams and especially kicking teams. They have the weapons to be a pass first dominate offensive team. What they need is a bruiser back who can finish games off like Bettis did. Ben is one of the top three QB's in football and his best in crunch time. Fixing the age on D and those special teams are way more important than dominating run game.
BTW, the dominating run game did the Ravens well last night
Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes -

How did I ever guess you squids would be all over that article as soon as it came out?For the record, Artie did the same thing with/to Cowher before the '05 season. The same little pep talk, only this came with the message "it's time to win it all Bill -- or else."
The million-dollar question: how did that year turn out?
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
As I recall that season ended with the Seattle Seahawks being repeatedly anally violated on National TV by the obviously biased officiating crew. You can bet your acne covered ass that Mr. Holmgren remembers THAT.

So you attribute Rothlisberger being sacked 8 times by the Browns to awful special teams play?

Well Rich I mostly agree with you- the Steelers may possibly have the worst Special teams in the NFL, but that's not the biggest issue. Yeah, they need another Jerome Bettis- good luck on finding one. But finding adequate pass blockers has to be their #1 priority. Ben's already taken a severe pounding and he's a candidate for a shortened career if the sacks keep piling up at the same rate. And there's the issues of age on D- Hampton is 31, Farrior is 35. That's a lot of holes to try and fill in one offseason.
Yeah, I noticed what a good running game will do in the playoffs- not just the Ravens, the Jets won that game not because of Sanchez, but the superior running attack. I'm glad we don't have to hear Sheps incessant mantra MUUUUUUSSSSSTTTTTT draft qb, MUUUUUUUsssst draft qb.
