NO PLAYOFF TEAM

This is the biggest joke of a post I have ever seen...clowns like you are the reason why I rarely come on here anymore...If it weren't for Ben we may...MAY have won 8-10 combined!!!!!! in the last 3 seasons...

 

Look here bozo, I'm grateful for all Ben has done in the past but the fact is I just don't think he's worth a huge extension. Let me ask you this bozo, would you rather see Big Ben make so much money that we are so strapped that we can't re tool and then you can talk about "well without Ben we might not have even won four games this year" I'd like to see Ben retire a steeler but if it's going to break the bank I just don't agree with it.

 

And how has Ben being on the team been for our playoff wins over the last 3 years. It is not one person that makes the team it is a sum of the whole. Time to look at the whole and make changes to make this team better after loses to the Jets, Bucs, and Saints (after a bye week). I don't think elite QB's lose 3 times in a season to way below sub 500 teams.

 

Lets cool down a little. Everyone is frustrated with the inconsistent results of this team. We watch the jeckyl and hyde routine of this offense and we are left scratching our heads. Why can't we have any consistency? Then we watch our defense not getting sacks, not getting turnovers and getting burnt down the field, and we are again left scratching our heads. These are very frustrating times watching this team. I have no idea what their identity is or even what they are trying to be. That's what bother me the most. I don't know what this team is about anymore. At least in the old days you knew it was about playing smashmouth on both sides of the ball. Even when they lost, they put a hurting on the other team and no one really wanted to play them. This team needs to find its physicality again and go out there and impose its will on teams again.

 

I don't think you can turn on physicality on an offensive and defensive line. You either have it or you don't these guys don't.

 

I agree the defense is the worst aspect on this team, from the players to the scheme. I just don't see how we're supposed to field a winning team with Ben eating up cap space like Joe Flacco. In the last five (going on six) seasons we've been in the playoffs once and got embarrassed by Tim Tebow, all of those teams led by Ben.

 

Agreed. This team has no shot at a Super Bowl appearance. Tank the remaining games, and get some good draft picks. Provided we CAN choose some good ones. On to next year!

 

Dude. That's pretty extreme.

 

Agreed.

And furthermore, if I found that this team laid down the final 4 games to get draft picks, I'd have to seriously consider not being a fan anymore. That's deplorable.

 

Also even if we DID get a "good pick" it would by no means fix all the problems we have. Most of the really good players on our team weren't first rounders anyway. (cough) AB (cough). Just because you get a HIGH pick doesn't mean it will be a GOOD pick. We just need to make the most out of the picks we DO get.

 

and here comes another question (ahahaha) do we have good evaluators ?

 

That's something else I've scratched my head over. The whole 08 draft comes to mind.

 

dont bank on it.

 

losing kiesel will be tough to overcome

 

I didn't realize that we signed him to a 2yr deal. I thought we only signed him to a 1yr deal.

 

So maybe I'm missing something here, haven't studied it too hard to TBH... nfl.com has us as the 9th seed. Yet, shouldn't we be 6th seed because of our conference record? It's better than any of the other 7-5 teams.

 

since we still are in the 3 way tie with balt clev rats , we are last between them ..

 

Thats maximum optimism, Our defense gives up a 143 yards rushing and lets Brees throw 5 TD passes to 5 different receivers, and we're going to bounce back on the road against the bungholes after they look at this game film and see a secondary that couldn't cover themselves with a blanket, and with 8 in the box cant stop the run, I don't see a bounce back coming anytime soon, and the clock is ticking with only 4 games left, it's time to put a fork in this team.............

 

I dont know I would pull the plug yet as a fan.. The team is able they just have to show up and play 60 minutes of football.

Your not far off just a bit premature Diamond

 

we can still control who win the superbowl .. just win 8 games in a row :lol:
