    AR2 and weak fans bending over for the owners and league got this team decimated with injuries.

    Best team in years, 10-0, and AR2 had them do something rarely any NFL does to make money. It's like driving your lambo in the snow. Horrible asset management of your football team.

    Way too many injuries to overcome. Watt made Bud? LOL Watt was invisible tonight.

    Seasons over.

    Offense healthy for the most part and looked like trash.

    The offense is killing us and imo shoulders the blame for both losses.

    The defense was holding its own in the first half. Nelson’s inability to cover Diggs hurt. But if the offense would have just done something we were good enough to win.

    You know who else is playing 3 games in 12 days? The Buff Bills who play Den on Saturday.
    Difference? They're not whining about it.

    i don't think watt was invisible as i think he looked winded or hurt aside from him and the whole d-line getting hold all game long.

    Boo hoo, who's fault is that? Should older team get a senior discount?

    Most teams that play a Thursday night game ends up playing 3 games in 12 days. This is not something exclusive to the Steelers.

    It wasn't just that. It was the loss of the bye week and the fact that their preparation was so disjointed for the Baltimore game. Also, it wasn't scheduled. It may have been unavoidable, but the league royally screwed the Steelers.

    So if they had the schedule of their choice, they'd have won the game?? Waah, waaah,
    Their flaws are obvioius. This ain't a bad team, but theyre not dominant.

    You know who's planned for every game this year and not been jerked around with uncertainty and had a real bye week?

    The problem is mainly the falling off of the cliff of the offense.
    Seriously how can they go from being so dynamic to so anemic in a month? It isn't 3 games in 12 days or an early bye week. It's the complete and utter lack of commitment to the run game. They dont even try. What happened to the occasional WR sweeps that worked so well? Play action passing? Is it Ben changing the plays? Is it Ben's influence over what is called? IDK what it is, but the O has done a 180 in 3-4 weeks.

    And the defensive injuries are absurd. It's a joke at this point. How can anyone endure this? Bad luck on that side of the ball.

    What are you talking about? That has nothing to do with the situation.

    Even Charlie Batch said it on the radio. They flew in the day of the game. A tired team flying in the day of the game and having more guys go down with injuries.

    And no I don't use silly ass juvenile nicknames for other teams.

    he’s maybe done winning games by himself. He’s not done being a capable Qb. We were 11-0 with him. The wr’s and running game have imploded . The play calling is bizarre at times. We cannot play this offense if we cant complete deep balls and we dont have the wideouts that can get open deep, let alone go up and get a ball over a defender. That last int today was prime example of how garbage they are.
