Steelers PLAY DOWN to weaker opponents

Just so disappointed in this team.

 

Especially because they play down to lesser opponents

 

Good one Glemm but to some people it actually is. They say the coaches are doing peachy and it's the players fault all the time.

 

That's on Tomlin but I can see why because of the way the STARS have no respect...

Ben constantly bad mouthing teammates ( of course ) never himself...AB doing whatever the **** he wants...

Then when they play the **** teams, the lack of discipline shows...Continually lose because they're not disciplined, or accountable...

All the drama over the years ****ed this team of prima donnas up...Right now everyone is on AB's ****...But Tomlin let this ****show keep growing...Buddy Buddy with all the players ( like a good cop/ Parent ) THEN you think you're gonna put your foot down, and they're gonna listen...lmfao, Ya ok!

 

They didn't exactly overwhelm stronger opponents either.

They played 6 games vs teams with winning records, 4 were at home and they went 2-4.

If I'm generous and add the 7-9 or better teams as 'strong' opponents (Car, ATL,Cle) this is now 10 games, 7 at home, and they were 5-4-1.

They were 4-2 vs the bottom feeders, and the two losses were in historically tough places to play (Oak,Den).

This is not to excuse the losses to weak teams, but hold a 16pt lead at home vs LAC and you're not scoreboard watching the Brown to make the playoffs, despite the slip ups to the weak sisters.

 

That's my whole point. This particular year we didn't BEAT one top tier team except new England who is far from what they used to be. They are on their last legs.

 

That's the problem when the team underperforms against teams they are supposed to beat. The season starts shrinking and suddenly everything is magnified. You start putting your eggs all in one basket as each failed opportunity passes you by. At the end of the season when your tallying up wins and losses and ties and seeing if you managed enough wins to get you in the playoffs and hopefully the highest possible seed. The game you tied in September counts the same as the one you blew a 16 point lead at home in Decembeer. Now if you were actually going to go out and make amends by maybe beating good teams you weren't expected too. Then you can make up for it. The problem is we only managed to beat 2 of those teams....
