Where is the sense of urgency ?

Woah...you are the one that said "it is already too late" Basically all I did was point out what people were saying last year. If you have read any of my post you would know that I know we have serious problems and I have stated many times that we don't have long to fix them before our season is done. However, I am not a fair weather fan, and I still have faith in my team. And the bottom line is no matter what I still love them! If it makes you feel better to act like that and take it out on others....whatever, but I never assumed anything about you. I did nothing but quote what you said.

I still love them to but I still can be critical of them. I just don't like their effort right now. They look like they just don't care and thats what bugs me.

2 - The Special teams sucks! Period!!

3 - Willie Parker is a nice RB but will not carry this team for a year. There is a reason BC put Bettis in the second half of games last year. To eat the clock and move the chains. I'm still sticking with my opinion Parker can't do it consistant enough.

4 - The Steelers as a team right now can't, won't or don't want to match the intensity levels of the teams they are playing. They better wake up because we are the defending champs and everyone wants to beat us!

I'm done being patient with Ben because I'm about 1 more pathetic game away from saying put Batch in. That is 4 bad games in a row counting the SB. I gave him a break on the first 2 this year but not on this one.
These are just my opinions and you can agree with them or not. There is more I could say but I'm sicking of seeing the same crap each game and don't even want to talk about it right now.

This sums up everything SF! Ben is about 2-3 games out from being back to normal IMO, and Parker is great but he can only do so much! I think BBG7 said it best in anohter thread... the Steelers are still recouping from a Super Bowl hangover! The good thing is there is still plenty of time in the season and it's to early to panic!

The day cowher benches Ben in favor of Batch is the day he looses any shred of confidence he might have left. It's not like we have a viable young hot new QB waiting in the wings like we did with Tommy and Ben... Ben is the future, if he's going through a slump we're just going to have to be patient with him.

Every year, there is a game that defines this team. Anyone who reads/watches Cowher's Tuesday press conferences will know this. We haven't had that game yet, and, maybe we won't...but I hold out hope. maybe the team doesn't feel the desperation yet that they felt last year? Maybe going 1-3 was the catalyst...regardless, there is WAY too much talent on this team to end up 4-12, which is what we would end up if we extrapolated the season out from here...
