Stadium empty in the fourth quarter

\

 

PERFECTLY said!

 

We stayed. Always do and probably always will. Traffic after the game was better since so many left early, which was nice.

What is really sad is that fans leaving early is a regular occurrance. Our group will sit and watch fans flock out of the stadium at the end of the 3rd EVERY GAME, regardless of the score or who is ahead. I will never understand that. As many have said, tickets are not cheap, so why would waste 25% of the experience. If you have to leave early, then just stay home and donate your ticket to somebody that cares.

 

i didn't go sunday, my boys did with my dad and mom. i can say i have never left with more than 30 seconds on the clock, but yesterday i saw something from this team that i have never ever seen from a steeler team since i started going in 1970. they quit. thats why many left sunday. i hope i never see that again. i hope the rooney's make a point of letting their coach know, the pittsburgh steelers don't quit. very ashamed at that type of drive out of any steeler team. 60 minute men? not this bunch. these players and coaches need to take a gut check and not embarrass the long time proud franchise.

 

You're correct sir. But, The Murph? You're really dating yourself there!

 

First Steeler game I didn't finish watching on TV. Not sure why, I guess it was the perfect storm of poor play and me finally not giving a crap after watching that kind of performance all too often for the past few seasons. I'll be back next week (and again and again...), but I even stuck though that Houston game a few years back when we destroyed them in yards like 400-60 and still lost by nearly 20 points.

I guess my only solace is that nearly every other team in the Roger Goodell-era of pro ball has games like this much more frequently than they used to. Michael Silver wrote an article on Yahoo about the dying breed of great NFL teams and I think he's right.

 

We stayed too! It was my first trip since 2000 and my 13 year old sons first game. Our trip cost us over $1500 and even though the look and excitement on my son's face was priceless...I want my money back. It wasn't Steelers football. AB standing around the endzone looking at the ball that hit off someones butt...kick it out of bounds and take a safety. 4th and a foot and NO qb sneek...WTF. Defense giving up 3rd and long countless times with the same play. Our 2 former DPOY jumping offsides giving them a first down.

I'm glad my son was there because if he wasn't I would probably still be passed out in my hotel room. What an awful game.

I'm an Operations Manager...a lot different than a head coach...but if my managers and employees don't perform well, I get my butt chewed by my boss. Tomlin needs to take accountability for this product and get it fixed...it falls on him.

 

couldnt have said it better.. the steelers wernt into the game so why stay and support a pi$$ poor effort

HINES

 

Ummm, maybe the self proclaimed greatest, most loyal, die-hard fan base in the world???

Steeler fans laugh and deride the fair weather fans of other teams, but somehow when they exhibit the same behavior "It's different".

 

I guess I can understand the people in the stands. It was raining pretty hard and the game was miserable. Happens everywhere. We joked that people with a shorter trip home left the sports bar we were at and we were warm and dry.

 

I'm in toronto too and you're wasting your hard earn cash on the leafs? I'm banning you from buying leaf tickets until they make the playoffs, don't give in!!. Lets make that building empty, then they'll have to listen.

Now back to the steelers
