"we thought it was a bye week"

this reportedly was stated by a Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman, unamed. "we were told to practice this week, that we traveling to Indianapolis for some 7 on 7 drills Sunday, and then we arrived at the Stadium - and fans were there, camera's, National Media - we quickly realized we were duped!"

the defense proceeded to get their ASSES kicked. What a lousy effort - first by Richardson, who who was on path to hang 40 on them, and then OLD MAN Joe Flacco looked like the second come of John Elway, dicing us on 3rd and 13, 3rd and 10, 3rd and WHATEVER!

what a SUCK effort by this unit, ALL DAY LONG!

the CLASSIC Tomlin TURD - most us knew 1 or 2 of these were coming this year!!!

 

I don't get the constant "most of us knew" thing. Do you get some kind of prize for that prediction?
Great post though.

 

thank you

 

this doesnt surprise me one bit year after year this has happened since Tomlin became coach

 

should not surprise ANY Steelers fan

 

I really doubt a player said that. Prove me wrong. Cite the source.

 

Why, players come out all the time after a loss saying we took this team lightly

 

An AFC game against an opponent that you may be chasing in Wild Card race .

A better effort was expected.


This is the type of effort expected against the Cowboys.

 

which might be coming, STAY TUNED!

 

I think he was trying to be clever(which he's not.) It's B.S.

 

it is a bit of humor

 

oh, I 'm clever.. get on board.....

 

Stick to your day job.

 

You're not. This type of stuff is stupid. I guarantee there's a few people who read this and have already spread it to others as the truth.

 

well, that is shame. we live in a gullible world. People should learn to think, once is a while.

laugh a little.....

and not live in a cancel culture.......

 

Tomlin admitted they were not prepared for Flacco and took to long to adjust.

 

They didn't look all that prepared for Richardson either.... what's his answer for that one

 

we know year after year after year - Tomlin has these unprepared games in his back pocket. it gets OLD.

why they did not throw more heat at him, I will not understand. Pull the CBs up tighter in man, and send an add'l rusher.

MT was ASLEEP all game long.

 

as I started out, the D thought it was a BYE week - !!!!

 

This is an issue every yr with us losing to teams we're supposed to beat.... you would think that after losing back to back games against 2 win teams last season that they would learn not to take anyone lightly, but here we go again..... this is a major maturity issue and one that Tomlin has failed to address once again

 

style over substance, style over substance. he got back in the national discussion, that was his goal......

 

Why not just start like this? I know you wanted to start another thread to rip Tomlin and yesterday's performance warrants it, but this ain't The Onion and those guys are much funnier than you, anyway.

 

Tomlin never learns, which is particularly egregious knowing his history with Flacco

 

it was a bye week. bye to us beating the 72 dolfish record.

 

Richardson might have picked them apart even worse than Flacco did if he didn't get injured. I was impressed by what little I saw from him, the kid has a cannon
