    Remember when the steelers had the best linebackers in the nfl period, when the defense was really #1? Tomlin has had 12yrs to draft a defense and we still have the WORST SENCONDARY in the league no pass rush at all, every week it's the same thing we didn't do this well or we didn't do that well, it's about time we started doing those things well, if not it's truly time for HEADS TO ROLL

    I agree, but the problem is the guys whose job it is to make the heads roll are also a big part of the problem. Ownership wont admit they made a mistake with Tomlin and with the GM. I think the owners are actually scared to fire Tomlin because he is such a media darling and they know they'll be destroyed by them if Tomlin is fired. I think things have to get much worse before they'll feel able to fire him. In the mean time we get to enjoy that by watching this trainwreck. I'm not advocating not watching the team, but the only way I see this changing is if the jerks in charge start taking a wallet hit and grow a back bone.

    As a steeler fan watching what we've witnessed the last 12yrs is awful, honestly I believe he's lost the locker room, the defense is either poorly coached or they have no heart either way losing like this is not an option

    I would agree total shambles. I have seen us get beat bad before but this game the defense was bad in all facets of defensive football.

    No pressure on the QB , poor tackling , blown coverage all over the field and in the fourth it looked like they just quit.

    One bright spot I thought Bostic made a couple of good plays and was our best LB today.

    Watching the game I kept asking myself is Tuit playing , is Dupree playing is Watt playing. I could easily see who was playing in the secondary,, you get to read their names as they run helplessly after the receiver then you see it again on the reply of the TD.

    We’ve won the Super Bowl during those 12 years and been to another.
