    I mostly agree with you, I was referring to the OP not being entertained lately by the Steelers

    For the record I yawned at like three posts.
    I don’t think there’s a downward spiral. I think things are a bit disfuncional right now, but I trust that it’ll get fixed.
    What I think is a lot of people get caught up in all the media created drama and overreact. And overreact badly.

    At the end of the day I have no control over what this team does. If I was as angry about things as much as some are I’d be done with the team.

    Fair enough. I honestly don't think I am over-reacting when I say there is a downward spiral. Let's look at a few things I see as undeniable.
    1. Since Tomlin took over, the team has steadily become more about individuals than team.
    2. We are threatened with losing talent faster than we can gain talent.
    3. The Steelers are in the news more often for drama than for dominance.
    4. Tomlin clearly has issues with player management.
    5. Issues like Butler's fiasco about Eifert being covered up, and a media guy being forced to take the fall, are just not what this organization is known for.

    The thing that cements it for me is this ..... this is NOT the Steeler organization I came to respect unquestionably and it seems to coincide with Art II rising in control/power.

    Can only hope somethin can be improved. It was mentioned last year and nothin was done. Brown has taken advantage of the steelers and his home. It is turning back on him and the guys at top are part responsible too for letting it happen. Maybe Brown knows its better for him to go. Givin up and being a baby aint the steeler way. feels like that is how the meeting with rooney will go. Connor and juju is a good step forward. Its on my bucket list to score their jerseys, might have to be more patient than i was with bell and browns.

    Agreed..." The Steeler Way " is just an old ,made up saying whose ship has sailed years ago...The ONLY thing still associated with the " Steeler Way " is the forever mentioned " 3 Head Coaches in........." BS

    They drive this saying into the ground...Every National or local based interview or show ALWAYS states " the Steelers won't jump to rash conclusions " they never do because you know..." They have had 3........."

    So freakin what...I don't care if they had 1 Coach for a 100 years...The way they run buisness now is pitiful and embarrassing...And has been for a while...If they actually think this magical " Steeler Way " is gonna make some kind of difference in righting this ****show, it's not!

    But the most depressing thing is...They WILL continue down this path...They WON'T make major changes...Well, they should!

    Their 2 biggest stars have become Assholes, 3...If you count the QB who I don't belive is Mr.Little Innocent in all of this...

    That's just the " offfield " stuff! onfield embarrassing defenses, continual losing to the likes of Oakland and other **** teams every year, costing us seeding and playoffs...Players sceaming at Coaches, not knowing how to use timeouts, or manage the clock, woofing after making a tackle after a 2O yard run when you're getting whooped...Then trying to go into said teams lockeroom after you got whooped...

    " Steeler Way " lol

    Yep, and the value of those teams who have never achieved the level of success of the Steelers is likely much lower than the value of a dynasty like the Steelers.

    And I agree with you that nothing is going to happen, which just reinforces the initial point of this thread about mismanagement, lack of visionary leadership, and complacency. Rooney can obviously run his business any way he wants to and if he chooses to ignore the negative sentiment of a growing percentage of his fan (customer) base, then his business results will probably suffer as a result.

    Yeah just leave out the fact that the Cowboys also had a great defense, in addition to the triplets.

    That's the funny thing about people with limited intelligence, they think anyone who writes and/or speaks well is showing off and they think that only they can understand their logic. Probably true on the second one.

    Ah Art II. Going to Florida to chase down Brown. And on board having a transition tag to be placed on the rap giant. No circus here.

    Some just can't handle the fact that this franchise is on the decline. It doesn't have to be. It starts with the ownership not seeing any issues. If he decides not to extend Tomlin, that would be a start. Retaining Butler was a complete joke.
