Use this thread to vent.

Road game in one of the toughest places to play, down to your third Quarterback making his first start ever in the NFL. Should've blown this team out 40-0.

Unrealistic expectations? Pssh. Clearly, this is Mike Tomlin's biggest strike and he needs to be fired.

As usual Tomlin just doesn't have the team ready to play a subpar team.

Yeah, some people just don't seem to get that. Last week was Landry Jones' "Clint Longley" moment. We're damn lucky we're not 2-5 right now.

I hope to hell Ben is ready to go next week.

Horrible game plan. Jones was given better options last week vs the Cards. This week, against a lesser team, they put a leash on him. Put Murphy or Vick in with that kind of game plan.

Can't expect to win a lot of games with a 3rd string qb.

The tackling on the other hand was horrible as usual.

He will.

Anyway, there's a reason why the coaches went out to grab Michael Vick. They have even LESS faith in Jones than they did in Vick.

Especially a third string QB on a leash. They put the clamps on Jones until the Steelers were down, and he started to force things once they turned him loose.

Very little cohesiveness and less fire in the players. Less energy than Ben Carson.

I think people are understanding that it was with Jones and to be honest, 2-2 over a 4 game stretch would be what I look for out if a back up...but losing to a no win team and a one win team on a 5 game loss streak...two teams that should be wins WITH Jones is what people don't get. And then there's just the sight that the team doesn't look prepared or aware that it's tackle football week in and week out...

Hi, I'm Mike Tomlin and I have Directv, and I'm going against bottom feeder NFL teams Mike Tomlin, and I don't even have a television
Mike Tomlin: With Directv, I get all the games I want here
No TV Mike Tomlin: I don't even have TV, so I am going to sit here and not focus on my team's upcoming game
Mike Tomlin: I love the picture and sound quality of Directv
No TV Mike Tomlin: Uh, I don't know to do now

The reason is they cannot judge talent very well. Jones has clearly shown he is better than Vick. Vick has shown to be a poor passer for 15 long years.

Slight correction. :wink02:

That second part was the killer. The defense NEEDED to hold KC to FGs.

SUMMATION:
six games... 3 turnovers
today... 3 turnovers

2-2 without Ben is about the best I could hope for, 0-2 against teams that were a combined 2-10 wasn't - but par for the course over the last few years. Here's to hoping we're not fighting for a wild card spot in last week of December.

I don't think it's an unrealistic expectation that we could've done better than THAT. The end to the Vick experiment finally came, but we still neutered the offense and came out with plain vanilla D the whole game. That's not going to win you anything no matter who's healthy or isn't.

I also don't know what the deal is with the Boykin doghouse bullshit, but Blake has got to go. He's just been beyond bad. I don't care whether it's Boykin, or Grant off the practice squad, or some random dickhead I don't know, but it is unfathomable that we'd consider going a whole season putting up with that shit. Our DL depth is also a problem and it showed.

Besides the secondary the Steelers need a real nose tackle. McCullers is on the sideline joking and laughing while the team is losing.

coming into this game, Pro Football Focus had Blake ranked as the 107th best CB out of 109 total CBs they ranked. after today's play, he may very well fall to #108 or 109...

After today he could easily fall to 110 out of 109.

The Steelers have not lost the game against the Chiefs and Ravens because they were poorly prepared.

The Chiefs have a talented team, especially in defense even if they have a bad record and the Steelers would have won against the Ravens with a good kicker ...

I agree on both points. I don't really have a problem with 2-2 without Ben but the fact that we beat the 2 good teams and lost to the terrible ones bugs the shit out of me. I'm beyond tired of losing to these shitty teams.

As far as Boykin goes, I'm to the point where i think someone just needs to punch Tomlin in the mouth for continuing to put Blake out there. I don't know how anyone can be so stupid.

Actually, those two (3 including the Cheats**) losses to AFC teams may hurt in some tie-breaking procedures. That's the real part that may haunt this team in January.

This is exactly how I feel. The way our def played today makes me not want to watch next week cause if they play that way again we will get crushed.

With Jones and Blake being allowed on the field you should expect the same.

On the road with our 4th string QB is tough. This team needs Ben plain and simple and I don't care who's coaching. Let's not kid ourselves about the 2 wins we did get without Ben. The Chargers and Cardinals handed those games to us on a silver platter and we made enough plays to get the win in both cases. KC didn't play as poorly as SD and ARZ so they got the job done against us.

I thought our tackling was very poor again today, especially the missed tackle by Spence on West's 36 yard run that set up the Chief's last TD...
