    I've just never seen anything like this in sports history much less from the NFL. I've seen some bad Steelers teams and piss-poor offenses but what is going on in the Bengal's game is atrocious and embarrassing. No one likes the day after a loss getting **** from everyone who knows you are a Steeler fan but in the case its so bad where you want to just join them.

    This isn't about injuries or effect of unexpected schedule changes, this team is having a COMPLETE meltdown. Ben is playing so bad it honestly looks like it is on purpose. Can't see the reason for that though so he is either just washed up or has gotten too comfy not having to practice and underestimated the effect that would have late in the season.

    It is also obvious no one is CLEARLY steering this ship. Offensive scheme makes no sense, personnel decisions make me scratch my head, like could they STOP forcing the ball to this damn McCloud? They don't even ATTEMPT to establish a running game. Snell got going a bit there and then they just let Ben make all the decisions apparently and just let him through ducks all over the field.

    When a QB is playing this horrendously bad YOU BENCH HIM. Whether hes injured, his dog just died or he's doing it for some drama queen reasons we stand a better chance with Rudolph and we have to actually be sure to still try to win the division.

    We were undefeated and flying high even though it wasn't always pretty. That first loss I thought might relieve some pressure but apparently it just burst the entire team's egos and now it is like they aren't even trying... just no heart at all. I hate watching them play so soft makes it difficult to even root for them.

    And clearly this is just a rant and I'm just venting but our troubles seem to also line up with when I started hearing about JuJu and his bull**** dancing on the opposing team's logo... I don't know if he's been doing it all season or not but he needs to cut it the hell out. Small things like that I think can infect the psyche of the locker room and why the hell isn't Tomlin shutting that disrespectful bs down?

    Im typically an eternal optimist when it comes to my Steelers. However, everything you ranted about Scrap has merit. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Steelers have become predictable and more importantly, shamefully inept

    What, see last year's meltdown. 8-5 almost guaranteed a playoff spot and Tomlin being talked about for coach of the year.

    2020 seems to be about the same as last years mess too me!

    On the embarrassing losses of Steelers. Where does this stand for you. Lions in 1998 was bad for me. Chargers in 1994 with late pass on blitzburg team last year last game of year blowout to second team ravens. New England undressing of tomlin against belicheck afc championship.
    Losing to jags with bortles .
    Just wondering how you all feel right now.
    get ready for tomlin standard is the standard bull crap after this one. Go to Vegas and throw down the house payment on colts plus three

    Too much talent on this team to go thru this type of spell. Players need to look
    in the mirror and figure this out fast.

    Without drastic improvements on offence they won’t beat the Colts or Browns. Where are the improvements going to come from? Teams are sitting on the short routes and Bens intermediate and deep accuracy is erratic at best, awful at worst. They can’t run the football either. In the past Ben could scramble and allow something to develop, that’s gone now a well, as soon as the opponent gets pressure the play is over.

    I’m usually a homer but it’s getting more and more difficult to muster any optimism for this team at the moment. They are awful.
