    Reminds me of the etching on the wall next to the urinals at a place I once worked: "Right now, you hold the future of the world in your hands!" :lolol:

    Do you honestly think right now there is a realistic chance for either to occur (for the Steelers)? I suppose anything's possible - after all, the Steelers were 7-2 at one point last season so 0-3 can theoretically be reversed. :rolleyes:

    Let Mason call his own plays,he probly has a gameplan and Tomlin is clueless.Either this will jumpstart us or we ned to think about drafting a qb. If Mason is the future great ,if he isnot lets look at the upside. If he is just average, we could go 4 -12 and have a good drat spot.

    Yeah, we should win to prove we are not totally busted, but a win against the lowly Bungles leaves more questions than answers.

    A loss and we know we are broken for sure.

    Someone has to be optimistic! Reading all the mustard-like doom and gloom is depressing!

    There is part of me with the Steelers that says, hey we are 0-3. But let's look at this.
    The Steelers lost to a Combined 10-1 record through the 1st 4 weeks of the Pats, Seahawks, and 49ers.

    To be honest they had winnable chances of the Seahawks and 49ers, no chance at the Pats game.
    This is with zero run game and a new less experienced QB at the helm, and their best play maker of the past decade gone. '

    Steelers can turn it around but going to be a 5 step approach.

    1. Run the ball, we have a pro bowl back, 3 pro bowl linemen, there is no reason we aren't running it better.
    2. Stop the run. Period. Set the edge don't let them get outside, fly to the ball.
    3. Win the TOP. Defense gets gassed, we got to keep our offense on the field, and pick up 1st downs on 3rd down.
    4. Offense needs to show up in the 1st half. Our offense seems to start slow and click in the 2nd half. We need to get points in the early stages of the game.
    5. An emergence of a #2 man at WR. It has to be either Johnson or Washington. Someone needs to emerge as a threat to open up Juju. Maybe Vannett and McDonald help as safety valves for Mason, be we need to utilize these guys more. I'm hoping for good things.

    At this point as a fan I'm not expecting playoffs it looks bleak. But, I want to be a respectable ball club, and not a doormat team. We are the Steelers and we need to make teams earn it if they beat us, not hand it to them.

    False hope and much of the same vs. real change. I obviously want them to win and I don't want to lose to the 0-3 Bengals at home on MNF. But you have to imagine if they lose this game somebody is getting fired.

    Don't give up so easily!

    The Ravens are highly over-rated at this point.

    The Browns are still mainly hype.

    The Bengals are a mess

    The Ravens losing to the Browns shows they are beatable. The Browns had a great game plan yesterday. It was so nice to see a team come in prepared. IF we win tonight, I think that goes a long way for this team's confidence. IF we lose.....

    It's Monday night they won't lose, it was hall of honor weekend so Coach Cowher, Ward, Greene and a host of other alumni will be in the building and it's at home. This will be like the night they celebratedon't Kevin Greene's HOF induction, a show stopper.

    A couple more:
    1. Evaluate WR talent.
    2. Keep their dirty laundry in house
    3. Coddle diva's
    4. Promote from within
    5. Press conferences
    6. History
    7. Keep the owner out of the know

    I hope you weren't looking for on-field stuff:cool:
