My thoughts on the current situation

And the oline has been bad since 2006.

I chuckled reading that because it's true.

I've been in & out today. Has there been any announcement, or report on the Ben/Haley Blow-up yesterday ? Did Ben ever address why, after proclaiming his confidence in the offense this season, as to why it was so bad yesterday ?

Just wondering.

Speaking of QBs, I read an article today claiming that Ben will not be a Steeler much longer since this team is in a rebuilding mode. Although I keep hearing the organization claim that this team is not in a rebuilding mode, I believe that the writing is on the wall. If that is the case, than I don't see Big Ben sticking around waiting for it to all unfold because he wants to win now this late in his career.

You know your team is bad when you are bringing back players that you released just about a week ago in Dwyer. I agree that Tomlin is going to have a hard time coaching his way out of this mess if things with this team get really bad. A lot of the players on this team especially the ones that Tomlin has drafted and developed seem to have no heart and are gutless in my opinion. Anybody else agree with this??

If you listen to the talk shows around town anytime somebody calls and says that Tomlin won with Cowher's team you immediately get cut off and dont even get to make your point. You get a response like how come Cowher didnt win more with Cowher's players. Well the answer is simple Cowher never had an elite QB to work with for his entire tenure here. He only had Ben for 3 seasons and Tomlin has had him for entire tenure here. Tomlin in my opinion has no control over this team at this point and he simply looks clueless on the sideline and in his postgame press conference. The guy has no answers at all to this mess...

it means you have injuries... that's all. are the Patriots bad because they brought back Leon Washington after cutting him 10 days ago? Your RB gets injured, you bring back one that knows the playback.

Honest to god, we look so bad I wonder if they'll win a game this year. And I'm not lying. The titans game I thought well we'll win because we're at home etc, plus opening day. We look worse than some of the bubby brister/mark Malone lead teams of the 1980s.

Don't want to see you driving into the Nachos concession to protest like they did when Malone was QB. Does anybody else remember that?

I have to say I am one of those people who is tired of hearing about St. Bill of Crafton.
