    The Bright Side.

    If things go on as they have been, this team is good to go for the next two years.

    Three Year cycle, remember?

    I guess that's true. The Steelers haven't missed the Playoffs for consecutive years since, what, the late 90s?

    You don't have to agree with me, but I do recomend it.

    Hopefully, the bright side will be individual self examination and surgery at every level.

    Agreed. The team's doctors and trainers will be raking in the OT this offseason. :P

    This team is so talented and needs to stop the dumb penalties and turnovers. If they do that, we will beat everyone. Just need to touch up a few positions.

    Agreed, ESPECIALLY the penalties. Penalties show a lack of discipline.

    I disagree. The anemia of this team goes deeper than a few positions and hasn't been addressed this year or in the pasted few years. Hopefully, today will start the change.

    We do....and the coaches and players say the same thing after every loss......you know the old chewing gum talking points.

    Re: The Bright Side.

    About 65% of me was actually rooting for Cincy to win this game. I really don't want to see our team make it to the playoffs when they are playing as poorly as they have been this season. If they make it to the playoffs then chances are you won't see many of the problems addressed in the offseason because they will feel like "Hey, we made it to the playoffs, why change anything?". Maybe now we will see some of our problems attempted to be fixed or at least improved-upon (running back, fumbling WRs, secondary depth, offensive line depth, poor punting (why did we not keep Kapinos, again?), crappy special teams coaching).

    My brightside. Cortez Allen! Not only can he cover, but it looks as if he some ball skills! Something this secondary's lacked at corner since Rod Woodson parted company with the black and gold.

    I was happy to see Decastro make it back this season....even tho he gave up some sacks. It will most assuredly help him this off season into the next.

    I was missing Colon and Adams today.

    x2.

    This team has a lot of talented young players that have a ton of potential in the future.

    A BIG plus this season has been that they have got a bunch of experience due the starter's getting injured.

    That means we get the Raiders on the road and the Titans at home. I could easily see us doing our annual "It's-just-the-sorry-ass-Raiders" choke job, and Tennessee somehow turning things around all of a sudden and being decent when we play them.

    Also great that we get the Patriots, Packers and Bears just by luck of the draw, plus a game in London.

    Re: The Bright Side.

    Things I'm excited about for the future: 1). the secondary is young and seems to have talent and 2). the offensive line is getting younger and better.

    On the bright side, the Steelers will have a top 20 draft pick and avoid a thorough and completely embarrassing ass-beating in the wild-card round at the hands of the Cheatriots
