    We got Harbaugh fired, we stuffed Jackson again...

    But it's time, let's accept reality, blow it up, Tomlin Rodgers and all and move on.

    We were comprehensivley beaten by a better team, who were able to carry an awful QB, who was absolutely dazzled by the bright lights.

    I'll admit I didn't want Rodgers, but we would not have gotten this far without him, Metcalf has been the worst FA signing I can remember.

    But all in all we're just not close to good enough as we stand.

    I'll state again, i've enjoyed this season, it's been a ride.

    If I actually thought, we were good enough to run it back one last time I go with it, but we're not.

    Rodgers didn’t lose this game the O-line did. Aging guys need to leave

    I'm not saying he did, but the team just isn't good enough.

    Don't feel bad. You are not the only fan to fall into the proverbial mediocrity trap.

    I haven't fallen into any mediocity trap, I wanted drastic changes years ago.

    Not sure what the game plan was today, but the Steelers abandoned the running game and we abandoned it early. It’s not as if we were out of it. The score was 7-6 until early in the fourth.

    It's a trap we have no control over. Only Rooney has the key and it's firmly implanted up his ass

    That is very funny, very sad and very true at the same time. I agree.

    I think I said the same thing before the season started. I knew there would be a lot of struggles, I just wanted to enjoy the ride…

    I guess I got my hopes up these past few weeks. I kept waiting for the offense to break out all year, but it never really did.

    I didn’t think the offense would be a juggernaut, but I thought we would be able to throw a few more deep balls this year….just never materialized.

    The short quick passes doesn’t really work long term.

    This will likely make you feel worse, but the Steelers did not get Metcalf in free agency. Steelers gave up their 2nd round pick this last draft for him, and then proceeded to add 4 more years to his existing contract with $132 million in new money, which averages to $33M a year.

    He was likely never going to play at a level that justified that, but so far he is not even anywhere close to that worth after 1 season here.

    It's Mike Tomlin, there IS no game plan, ever.

    We have an awful head coach, an awful offensive coordinator and an awful defensives coordinator. I hope NONE of them are back next year. I'd rather let 17 random fans be head coach for a week next year than keep this festering, poo-infeseted, maggot-laced garbage of a product.

    Coach,GM,and Qb. A reboot brooms them all.

    The three men are a bad mix of square pegs trying to mold a team or round holes.
