Troy needs to retire and that's a 100% honest statement from me. He can't stay healthy it's been many many years since he ever was. It's time Troy I'll miss you and so will Stiller nation.
Missing you every day, thinking about the memories every moment, loving you every second Mom ♥ R.I.P. 1951-2011
"When you go out on the field and you're intense for 60 minutes, some guys don't want to do it. When I line up across from him, he has to do one of two things, he has to raise his level of play, or he's going to get his *** kicked all day"

Yes, I think a fork can pretty much be stuck in Troy at this point. His body has broken down and he simply can't stay healthy anymore. As for the other injuries, we've been pretty much snakebit in this department all year, so what else is new?
Colon is actually good news. Clark is the worst news.

Willie Colon aggravated knee injury and likely done for the season. Plan now is have Maurkice Pouncey finish the season at left guard.

Is DeCastro ready? I saw him dressed on the sideline today.
Losing out the remaining season may be the best thing that could happen to this teams future.
If Clark is out they're in big trouble defensively. They've played without Troy all year so his loss has been an issue all season. The line played decent last week, they should have run the same group out there regardless of who was healthy.
So what? Look at who drafts early every year? Same fucking teams! Teams that play with no pride or purpose. The Steelers draft late every year and get gems because they don't subcribe to a losing attitude. Rookies come in and they absorb what's around them. If you play out the string like losers you become a team of losers!
"A man's got to know his limitations."
Whoa...I don't disagree with you that they should lose out. I never said they should do that. I just said that if they make it, it won't hurt their draft position that much because they aren't going anywhere in the playoffs.
Not to mention, this team has been drafting poorly for the past several years. Draft positon really doesn't matter for Colbert.
This is bad news for a couple different reasons. Clark is the QB of the defense and has done so much for the defense this year. It sucks losing Troy, but we've done it without him. I'm also concerned with losing Colon for possibly the rest of the season. He's played well (other than some bonehead moments and holding calls) and has helped a lot in rush blocking. I think that losing Ryan and Willie hurts more than the other two.
In my opinion, they play with a sense of Entitlement rather than with a sense of urgency when playing poor teams. It's almost like they are out there to put on a show instead of mauling them like the better teams of the league would on a consistent basis. Game in and game out against poor teams, the Steelers are flat and in a dogfight. That is a trend, it's not an annomally.

I live out here in Dallas and was going to buy tickets until today. They are going for $150 and up. I don't see them coming to Dallas and winning after losing 3 of the last 4 and really should have lost 4 out of the last 5. Witten is going to tear the middle of Dick's defense up. Watch it, he will get atleast 12 catches.

...then it's a coaching problem and how do you fix it? Unfortunately winning out and making the playoffs will only carry the problem on to another season.
