    Agreed. Hate to call the season already but more of the same. This team isn't SB bound dispite how delusional they often are.

    Art Rooney only cares about regular season records so it's fine.

    Dick Lebeau got fired. Same team. Todd Haley got fired. Same team. Mike Tomlin has to be next.

    Yes. Who held Ben out of another preseason? Who didn't get him prepared? Yes, Ben deserves a lot of blame, but so does Tomlin. This isn't an abberation or coincidence anymore. Even the most diehard Tomlin defenders cannot ignore his teams constantly underperform against bad teams. I'm sick of the Tomlin defenders protecting him from this.

    I like Tomlin but as I said before, he gives the players too much leeway.

    Steelers will beat KC next week!!

    Yeah, because Tomlin forcing the Big Drama Queen to play more than he wants in the preseason would have gone over swimmingly. People need to get their heads out of their asses and stop blaming the head coach when the moronic franchise QB plays horribly.

    Wait a minute. If I understand you correctly, you want the COACH to give in to a PLAYER. Then why do we even need a coach? Just let the players do whatever they want.

    This how it is. Ben is a big oaf. Too slow to play pre season so he passed on it. Takes him 2 or 3 games to get it together. Then team has to adjust. Brady wins division again and Ben looks on to what could have been

    I mean, they basically got rid of Hailey because of Ben. I thought that made it pretty clear who was in charge.

    Let's look at those turnovers a little closer.... James lets easy catch bounce off hands, Ben gets clobbered while dropping back and throwing, horrible snap into Ben's feet, and Brown running the wrong route. Yea looks pretty clear to me that we're looking at a team that was not prepared to play. Oh did I mention the double digit penalties for 100+ yards?

    We are talking about the Browns here. That was not a different Browns team. That was a BAD team. They will be lucky to win 6 games all season - period. The defense played solid ball IMO... the offense was out of sync and played like crap. Not just Ben. If it's one fluke game sure...but this is not uncommon for Tomlin's teams to lose to really bad teams...this is a consistent issue.. we have an absurdly bad record against bad teams. You can't deny that it's a fact. And if you want to play the card that we don't have good players... please let me swallow my beer first so I don't spit it all over my key board laughing.

    They 'only' had 2 in the playoff game, Ben pick and Ben fumble (I think).

    Ben was rusty, surprise surprise. Thats the trade off for making sure he enters the season healthy. I can live with it.

    Ben will knock the rust off and be fine, Im more concerned that they had an offseason to fix giving up big plays and they picked right up where they left off. I'm not a fire the coach guy but I'm about done with Butler.

    We will beat KC next week and one game does not a season make.

    Still, there's something I can't quite put my finger on in the Tomlin era. I think it's discipline, a lack thereof
