On a positive note . . .

No stupid penalties this week - in fact no penalties listed in the box score. Weird.

 

Yeah I was thinking during the game when the showed the penalties that we didn't have any and I was glad about that. But yet we STILL find a way to beat ourselves. AHHHHH!!!!

 

TURNOVERS are our problem. Plain and Simple.

 

Yep. They cost us against Oakland and Dallas for sure. MAYBE they cost us the Rats game too considering the Wallace fumble. Also the clowns BARELY beat us when we had EIGHT of the stupid things! It's so sickening when you look at the position we are in. It's almost STRICTLY self imposed.

 

Dumb players our problem, can't catch and can't tackle, and can't block

 

We can't stop making them and we haven't been taking them. I'm put injuries a close second with lack of performance from the "young money" receivers third.

 

Speaking of that, whats up with all the miss tackles? Wouldn't that indicate a lack of desire to sacrifice your body to make a play? Why wouldn't you want to go all out? Is it because you think there is no reason to take the chance on getting hurt because the season is basically over now, even though it isn't? That embarrassing tackling display is not Steeler football. If the above is somewhat true, who lets this type of attitude prevail, The Coach?
Maybe we all have spoiled for too long and expect too much. LOL, I remember back in 2005, thinking with Big Ben we are going to need two more hands to put all those Superbowl rings on.
There are a lot of unanswered questions and speculations floating around about the Steelers. Nobody knows for sure exactly what the problem is.
One thing I know for sure is after watching them for the past 35+ years I don't know ****

 

Actually, the opposite is the problem. They *are* willing to sacrifice their body for the big hits, but they are forgetting that it's more important to wrap up the opponent than make the big hit. Everyone's trying to be Clark out there and it's showing in missed tackles. I hate to say it, man we are missing Ike - at least he knows how to tackle.
