    The magic is gone. It doesn't work for us anymore and doesn't even truly represent us anymore. No one is scared of this defense.

    Replace it with something more fitting. The Chipmunk song maybe. Or Yackity Sax. Maybe even "Arms Wide Open" - like your receivers will be.

    Of all the things that are wrong with this team, I am 100% certain that Renegade isnt the issue!!

    The Packers mocked the Steelers by playing Renegade in their locker room after the game. It's become a joke around the league so yeah it's time to drop it.

    Dandy Don used to sing it every MNF game towards the end when the outcome was clear: "Turn out the lights................." :facepalm:

    Yes, it needs dropped. This defense doesn't deserve it nor have they earned the
    right to here it. They suck.

    I quite literally said the very same thing the moment I heard the song playing last night. I mean it’s like seriously, do they think playing it has any impact whatsoever on the psych of this porous defense ? I couldn’t help but to laugh last night as soon as it came on.

    I said this in the game day thread. Don’t ditch it entirely, but don’t play it anymore for this defense. They don’t deserve it…. And it’s embarrassing when they just roll over and let the opposition march down the field right after it plays.

    They should replace it with Limp Biscuit Break stuff. Woodstock 99 version for the night games.

    Tv announcers were hyping it, they were showing the crowd going nuts.
    This is it. Here comes the comeback.

    Then the Packers ripped off a Run.

    Yeah, it would be funny if it wasn't so sad. Renegade gets played. Crowd is pumped. Packers backup running back immediately rips off 20. Welcome to the world the 2025 Steelers defense lives in.

    Meh...it gets the crowd hype. Should fans stop getting loud on 3rd down, or stop yelling defense just because the other team gets a first down or scores?

    Now I do think that whoever decides when to play it could be a little better picking spots.

    Terrible Towel gets mocked too. Whatevs...part of the game.

    It’s only 46 years old

    Personally I don’t consider that outdated

    I posted something on this a while ago and it’s not that easy to decide when to play

    It’s 2 minutes long and it needs to fit in the timeout slot

    If there is a timeout

    We already discussed this

    I like this idea… defense has to earn it and be Top 3-5 in league to get it played. But sadly it’s become more of a ticket selling scheme. They use to not even play it when getting blown out then the fans would cry “They got destroyed and I didn’t see Renegade”

    I think Korn - Blind 99 Woodstock is more fitting for this defense last few years.

    “Are you readyyy” “to give up a 3rd and 20+ or touchdown”
