That was the worst Steeler performance I have ever seen!

I have been a devout Steeler fan since 1969, and that was the worst collective performance I have ever seen!

I am not a homer, I can usually see what is wrong and what is right with the Steelers. They look to me like they know the season is over and they don't give a ****!

1. Ben's had some stinkers before but I have never seen him lack confidence. Last night, he looked hopeless!
2. Ben is lucky he wasn't picked off a few more times because the Bengals D knew exactly what six plays we run and cheated on our short passing routes because our OC uses the same handful of plays every game.
   
3. Ju-Ju is cute but his pre-game antics needed stopped long ago.
   
4. Our offensive line looked like a bomb went off under Pouncey, they were helter skelter everywhere!
5. I hate to say this because I genuinely admire the guy, but AV looked totally lost.
6. The defense is wounded but there are still enough good-to-great players out there that they should not get beat by the Bengals. Granted they played a lot of minutes last night and they have played a lot of minutes for the last 4 games, but still.
7. Tomlin continues to be a nice guy instead of a leader......Our O-line coach should have been let go long ago.....Fitchner should have been gone long ago.....Ben should have been told that he doesn't get to pick the OC long ago......Tomlin should have seen Fitchners ineptitude and stepped in long ago.....
8. This is the tenth year in a row that the team finished "worse" than the collective talent on the field and a head coaches job is to make "the whole greater than the sum of it's parts". Tomlin is an utter and complete failure at this because he is all about being loved by the people around him rather than making those around him better.

Color me utterly disgusted!

 

The defense wouldn’t have looked that bad if we’d got a first down or two in the first quarter.

It was like Ben had money on the Bengals or something.

 

I've been a Steelers fan since 1979. This Bengals game was one of the worst Steelers performances I've witnessed. This game ranked up there with mid 80's and 1999 performances. Just plum awful.

 

I'm a fan few years more since early 70's , this is also one of the worst Steeler performances I've witnessed. Agreed just awful.

 

Stone, nice post and on point. I thank you sir.

 

The thing about AV is he looked totally confused when he faced a speed rush, then totally useless when he was bull rushed.

 

Try living in Cincinnati. I don't even want to walk out my front door right now.

 

In terms of performances, it was awful. But I don’t think, given the last two games, I was expecting a massive improvement.

What shocked me was how Ben looked worse that Mason, AV forgot how to block and we once again steered well clear of going near Vance. Or indeed anyone not called Johnson or Ebron for most of the first half.

 

Condolences.
If you live there, are you REQUIRED to eat your chili over spaghetti?

 

The only thing you are REQUIRED to do with Cincy Chili is to be less than 100 feet to a bathroom. That stuff comes out quick.

 

Ha Ha Ha

 

I've been a fan since birth and went to games in the 60's. My memory is cloudy but I do remember them playing hard even though they really sucked. This team looks like they are thinking of where to invest all that money they get for playing like ****.

 

This team took advantage of everyone starting slow or missing players due to covid. Now the real teams are revving up for a run while Steelers have a dancing buffoon, a qb who can’t admit he’s done, and a DC who needs 11 first rounders to look good lol

 

Is JuJu the dancing buffoon? I have another name for him it's A--HOLE.

 

Been a fan since 59 and this has to be the worst performance I have seen. 3rd string QB beat us like a drum. Give Ben the OC job and work everyday during the off season with what we have on the bench.

 

Here in Cincinnati, in celebration of the big Bengals win over the Steelers on MNF, Gold Star Chili is giving away free 3,4,5 way chili all day today. I'm predicting long lines of Christmas shoppers at the Walmart restrooms.

 

It will be hard to top the 1989 home opener for sheer ineptitude.

I was at that game and yes it was a mess! I got tickets through Bryan Hinkle and we sat at the 50 in the lower section so all I saw was passes and punts flying trough the air.

But that wasn't a playoff caliber team, let alone a supposed contender for the #1 seed.
