I am ashamed to be a STEELER fan!!! Their secondary and special teams could not beat a HS team. Big Ben was a puss tonight. Our D is old and declining faster than our economy. Im glad we won't be going to the playoffs. 8 sacks versus the Browns. OMG

Unfortunately having the largest fan base at times can include having the stupidest fans as well.

It's not Tomlins fault. I'm sorry u backed the steelers on the road in cold weather after they already lost 4 straight. The steelers have been hit by the injury bug this year last year they were healthy and had the number 1 ranked defense. Most coaches never even win a superbowl never mind in their second year and yes he did walk into a great situation but he still got it done. The last time they won under bill cowher they had a loosing season the following year. Bottom line injuries affect even the best teams look at the patriots i hope miami wins the division Go Dolphins.

Cowher did not suck as a coach. He did the best that you could expect given the circumstances.Year in and year out he was losing players to free agency and coordinators to other teams.The steelers had a blueprint for success and that is why the coordinators were highly coveted around the league. Whether it was Cowher hugging and crying with players or yelling and spitting at players he was the emotional leader and the team rose behind his emotions.I don't know what it is about the vikings that the Rooney's are intrigued by, but I think this is the second time a vikings coach has derailed the steelers. First it was Sherman who wanted to turn Kordell into a pocket passer and now Tomlin who wants to take the "MONSTER TRUCK " to NASCAR and expect to compete. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I do give Tomlin credit for keeping Lebeau as DC. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact the Ben is our QB, but I think he may be part to blame with Wisenhunt and Grimm were not hired by the steelers. He was not happy  with the offense and wanted to air it out more. If you look at the cardinals, you could almost close your eyes and picture them in black and gold. Tomlin took the steelers to the SB right after Cowher left but Wisenhunt and Grimm changed the philosophy and identity of the Cardinals in one year and taught the how to finish. As far as special teams, they havent't really been special since Bobby April left.

Steelers will be fine when they get rid of Bruce Arians, he wants to pass, pass pass, always wants to go away from running the ball, the steelers need to get back to running the ball 35-40 times a game and passing around 20-25...When they do that they will Win...22 runs in last nights game with those conditions wont get it done....Cleve ran 37 times.. Injuries havent helped much either this year

I don't care what you do for a living, all i am saying is that you don't have a coaching problem. Also, I hate to say that one man makes a team, but damn since you loss Palu you just look different, no one in on every play. Maybe those mountains are getting to you in Utah because you don't make sense, by starting this thread. You lost last night so be it, I took you Steelers also, but I wouldn't bash my coach if i won the Super Bowl last season dumbass.

IMO this has mainly to do with the offensive line.  This was a big question mark coming into this season and unsuprisingly, still is an issue.  Also, I don't think it's a coincidence that the problems of Pitt being able to get short yardage started as soon as the Bus retired.  I know Mendenhall is a big back, but he's not the 250+ lb back that Jerome was.

Lifelong steeler fan here. Nobody any sicker than me about how this season unfolded. Midway 6-2 and playing good, not the same D without Troy P. Crazy how one guy can make that big a diff but he does. O line has been bad for last couple yrs, coupled with Ben holding on to the ball way too long (ALOT) is a recipe for failure. Lay off coach T. he might not be a master x and o guy but I think the guy knows football and fits into the system. The Rooneys don't boot a guy after one bad season and I love that about them. I hate not going to the playoffs as much as anyone, but take the bad with the good damit ya can't win the superbowl every year.

12/11/09 12:56PM
ben is trash and always has been...uhhh...OK...he has over a .700 win percentage lifetime...and 2 superbowls in his VERY young career...how can that be trash... you're a browns, bengals or ravens fan right??

btw, the steelers had the toughest schedule last yr and won it all w/ NUMEROUS come from behind wins...ahhh...inluding the SB...but you prob. think that was an imcomplete pass too right?...lame comment bro

The Steelers are just getting their dose of karma. After "winning" a couple of 'big' games that were apparently fixed, they are just getting what they deserve. Looks like the refs are officially 'off' the Steeler band wagon as well. They must find more 'value' in playing the underdogs!
nuggins says:
12/11/09 01:05PM


i think most DISGREE that they had one of the softest roads to the SB...go back and check the schedule partner...should have lost the game...huh...but they didn't and that's all that matters

of course all this is coming from a rats fan...at least we didn't cheat!!

What a bunch of thinned skinned posters on here. I am entitled to my opinions and don't go looking on Saints, Chiefs, and Browns boards to bash your team, coaches etc. I have never liked Tomlin so be what it is. As a TRUE fan I am very very disappointed with this team and won't jump ship like the most of you negative posters on here. I know it could be worse being a Chiefs, Browns, Rams fan and not having high expectations but Steeler fans always have high expectations. WE UNDERACHIEVED this year!! You can't fire the whole team but should at least fire Arians and our special teams coach.

Hey Saints fan did I ask for non-Steeler fans to chime in? Shows your IQ coming into a Steeler forum and giving your 2 cents. It would be dumb of me to chime in on the Saints state of affairs as I don't follow them. Peace.
saintsfan504 says:
12/11/09 01:26PM

Just take a look at the people that are posting in your thread, all of them are not Steelers fans. As true football fans we must voice our opinion, when we see such wasted space put up on the board. Hey, I am going heavy on my Saints this weak, if they lose, you will never see me bash my coach. Your team will be fine my friend.

firaman761 says:
12/11/09 01:35PM
I know and that is what I have found out about these forums, there are people that just want to bash other teams because theirs might not be very good. I love your coach and your team and have been a closet fan of them for the past three years. I am headed out to get a Saint's hat because I am embarassed as a Steeler fan right now. I am entitled to that after 30 some years as a fan. Good luck and your team would of kicked the shit out of us had we met up.
guamnut says:
12/11/09 01:37PM
I am a true steeler fan and Cal Bear yes the o-line has been a problem. This is why I was disappointed when we chose Ziggy Hood as the 1st rnd pick instead of an offensive lineman. I was hoping for Max Unger or another versatile player that could play different positions on the line. As far as big backs are concerned My christmas wish is that John Clay from Wisconsin will enter the draft, be available when the steelers pick and the steelers draft him.
firaman761 says:
12/11/09 01:51PM
It is time for some youth infusion on our O-line. When we were 6-2 our line was playing pretty well, not many sacks etc.... Polamalu makes that big of a difference on our D and it shows. I live for the NFL season and it is disappointing when your team has high hopes and then loses to 3 of the worst teams in pro football in a matter of a month.

You guys that are bashing this team are CLOWNSHOES.....period...you guys lose some money on them and then turn around after saying there the greatest and bash the shit out of them. They have some injuries, Ben has been going through the concussion process. And this is all coming from the one who started the thread last year before the superbowl "PITTSBURGH IS A HORRIBLE FOOTBALL TEAM".....

Now you guys see why I said they are overrated in whole...I actually had some hope for them this year after they went on a 5 game win streak, but obviously that was a fluke. Don't worry, when they make some changes next year and beef up there D and O-Line..they will be top notch...but give these guys a break..seriously..they are injury plagued and are not on there game right now. Kind of disappointing, but i still see some fight in these guys for next year..

smokin376 says:
12/11/09 01:55PM
Oh yeah, and Tomlin is a good coach for the CLOWN who started this thread. He speaks very thorough when at press conferences, probably one of the best I have ever seen, and he should not be used as a scapegoat for the teams bad performances. You should be ashamed if you ask me. I took Pittsburgh last night also, so dont think this is coming from someone who took Cleveland or anything like that..
saintsfan504 says:
12/11/09 01:57PM

Smoking this is the same thing that I said, there is no way a Steelrs fan should start a thread like this, FYI, I went with Pitt also.

Didn't bet a dime on them "clown ass" just a true fan! Go root for your loser team in Michigan. Must be tough being a Lions fan.

If and only if i was a Lions fan..I would shoot myself. Yes you are a CLOWN also...so dont misinterpret what I say CLOWN....

I am not bashing my team. I merely stated that if you are a true steeler fan , you should not bet on them when they are favored by a TD or more. I am a fan regardless of who the coach is or what the record is. also I gave my preference on how I think things should be or could have been. The remaining games and the offseason will determine what kind of Head Coach Tomlin will be. Yes he is very articulate and thorough when he speaks.College professors are too.That doesn't mean that they can coach and motivate a team. More than a couple times this year they were inside the 10 and went for it on 4th and 1 and failed. The head coach has the final say and you should always take the points IMO. It's a small victory for the offense and gives the defense a better cushion.and not to mention raises the morale of the team.

Seriously go start your own thread! Your IQ is starting to show. I started this to hear from Steeler fans not some "know it all" from Michigan who has yet to mention the team he roots for.

Being a homer from the Pittsburgh area, This is how 50% of Steelers fans are, that is the exact same reason why I AM NOT a huge steelers fan. Last year, everyone and there brother was ranting and chanting for them. this year everyone wants to fire half of the team. WTF Are you a true steeler fan or not? look at the big picture here guy.

firaman761 says:

Nah just the coach(s)! Again we are spoiled and can not stand mediocrity. We deserve better!
jdelaw82 says:

Wow its embarrassing to have fans like this.. Fresh off a superbowl calling for Tomlin's head. #1 your not a true fan, #2 you dont know the Rooneys, #3 you cant dominate every year you idiot b/c the talent is so close in the NFL. Look at the Colts last season...

I praaaaaay something magical happens and we sneak in the 6th spot to callout all these fair-weather fans. You take the good with the bad...

What a fucking moron...switch teams b/c we dont need you and your a terrible fan.

Look at this way. Baseball season is right around the corner and you have the Pirates. Also Cowher would have never won a super bowl if wasnt for those horrible refs or as some see it fixed super bowl against the seahawks. Ill take the mad scientist Bill Bellichik anyday. As i AM A GIANTS FAN.

I live in Pittsburgh and have rooted for he Browns for 16 years now. Thursday night was my Superbowl! Its so funny to listen to the yinzers of this town. Everyone lays blame in so many places its hilarious. The way I see it the Steelers problems are in 3 places:

Key injuries, Bad D backs, and a horrible special team.

The fact that Tomlin is sitting by and watching the same mistakes happen week after week says to me that he doesnt know what move to make when facing adversity. He is becoming the Black Cowher of Pittsburgh.

 

sjh0825 says:
12/11/09 06:34PM
Superbowl champs to last nite. The offense was horrible. I mean they lost to the BROWNS (and got sacked 8 times). Unfortunately I have suffered as a Browns fan. At least beating Pittsburgh brought a little ray of sunshine to our year! We're still an expansion team 10 years later.

Cry me a a river. So you got beat by one of the worst teams in pro football. At least it wasnt the RAMS.

Most of you are retarded and do not list the team you root for for the week. Again if you are not upset over our record this year then you are just not a true fan. There is no way you can say "I am happy with this years team". I will posy what I want when I want. I didn't ask for stupid people to post on here.

bmundy2008 says:
12/11/09 10:47PM
a few points about the steelers...

1. big ben is overrated. his first superbowl ring he didnt contribute much other than 30 handoffs a game all season.

2. the steelers defense is def. getting OLD. and without Polamalu are a completely different unit. its scary one player can have so much to do with the way a team plays on that side of the ball.

3. Tomlin walked into the best job in sports last year. Cowher built that team, and he deserved that ring, not Tomlin. not saying he isnt a good coach, but its not hard to stand on the sideline and 'coach' one of the best overall teams in the league.

As for you steeler fans, Im glad this is happening to your team this year. You guys are way too cocky and im sick of your terrible towels. Now the towels have a new meaning, the steelers ARE TERRIBLE haha

The thing is 90% of these fans are fake ass bandwagoners anyway. No one actually likes the city of pittsburgh its a joke of a city I have family that lives there too. Its so bad they dont even have a main street to have parades on ppl just like them because they've won superbowls. Of course these kinds of fans will just piss and moan as soon as they start losing, the only reason they like them is because they win!

Defending champions will face the best effort of teams every week, so if the champs suffer injuries and/or have team chemistry problems, it is magnified.  Troy being out is a devastating injury to this team as he was the defensive leader on the field.  Then throw in Ben's injury.  When he skipped the Raven's game under questionable circumstances, team chemistry went into the crapper. 

The offensive line also needs to do better against the blitz as Ben has and always will hold on to the ball longer than he should.  This was a problem last year, but under the current team circumstances, it is become worse.  They made the Brown's defense look awesome and we know they are not.

As a STEELERS fan, I must say, we are simply spoiled. There are some teams that have never won a Super-bowl! We've enjoyed 6!!! Also, it is bound to happen...a team having a BAD year. Ask other people...my best friend is a REDSKINS fan. I feel sorry for people who root for other teams. Believe it or not...PITTSBURGH has been around since the 1930's and it took them 40 + years to win a championship.

I lost 500 large on the Steelers money line last night and i saw 100% without a doubt that TOMLIN is not the problem! It was in the 4th quarter 3rd and 6 and Big Ben threw to a wide open player and he DROPS IT!!! Game over! That was Tomlin's fault!? Plus the reason Big Ben held the ball for so long was because Big Ben's wide receivers need to break off there routs! It was like the Steelers were running in slow motion! You can blame the O-line and the D-line and the O-Cordinator and D-Cordinator. You can also blame Ben for not calling audibles and Ward for not taking charge and saying lets get nasty and run it down there throats! They are supposed to be the leaders on the field! I wish i had a coach like him on my team! The players are to blame! Tomlin is the last person to blame!

You don't fire the coach of the defending super bowl champion. Just ridiculous. Just a knee-jerk reaction article, now that the Browns basically knocked them out of the playoff picture. I would think not all Pittsburgh fans are this stupid.

These hard times show the real fans...its easy to root for them when they are 10-2. Take the good with the bad and with our Steelers the good usually far exceeds the bad. This happens...teams have down years...if its injuries, chemistry, or poor coordinator coaching (Arians) no team is perfect year in and year out. We have won 2 of the last 4 superbowls...enjoy it....geez it took me 23 years to see one and Ive gotten 2 in 4 years. We have a good team and well bounce back if not this year, but next. Tomlin is a good coach...he needs to make some appropriate personnel changes...

AND STEELER FANS.....WE ARE NOT MATHEMATICALLY ELIMINATED JUST YET

Ravens5220 says:

Wow firaman, if you want to talk to steelers fans, and don't want NON-steelers fans to chime in, then go to a STEELERS forum.

You should be more like jdelaw, at least he is still backing them REGARDLESS of the fact that they have played like absolute shit for the last few games. Now HE is a real fan.

Could be a hell of alot worse buddy, so get over it and hope they come back next year.

jdelaw, props to you, and everybody else here that actually sticks by their team through the good and the bad.

actually, after reading "your" thread, I would say that, you, personally do not deserve better.  You chided saintsfan for contributing to the discussion.  You said you are going to go out and buy a saints hat.
and your argument for getting rid of Tomlin is that he "sucks"

you do sound fourteen.  Be a fan, and stand by your team.  I loathe people with a sense of entitlement.  some people have made some nice points in this thread.  you were not one of them. 
If'n you just want Steeler fans to respond, then go to a fuckin' Steeler fan club thread.  Here. we talk football.

ya goober.  youse high like giraffe 's
veNicedammmit says:
12/11/09 11:06PM
point 1.     retarded.

point 2.     true.  old.  and true.  Troy P is scary good.

point 3.     retarded.   I'm sick of people saying Tomlin added nothing to that SB run.  Did Pitt win despite him.  ?  no, they won in concert with him.   Coaching is not being the teams biggest fan (Wade Phillips).     just my opinion.  besides, you sound like it's personal against PITT, thus calling into question your objectivity.  again.  just an opinion.      
Pittsburgh43 says:
12/13/09 04:42AM
Try being a true fan.

We're having a bad season but we WON the SB Last fucking year!

We'll get this turned around. Ben's been banged up, Troy's been out most of the season and we do have some older players on the defense and problems with our O-Line. But through the draft and free agency we will correct these problems and bounce back like we do all the time. The Steelers are a tough and blue-collared organization.

You're a spoiled idiot.
