Coulda woulda shoulda. I knew we wouldn't beat Denver, but I just really wanted to beat these guys. A franchise that is all about success, has seen very little of it since 2010. It's painful. It really stings right now. I won't even lie, I shed a few tears. I live and die with this team and it was a rough way to go out. Ben only has so much time left. If they want him to win #7 for this organization, he needs a better team around him. Defensive changes have to be made. We love you Troy, and everything you've meant to us, but it's time to retire with some dignity. Mike Mitchell has to be better. I'm also not sure that Worilds is the answer. Aside from a game or two, he was hardly a factor. Personally, I say bring Deebo back one more year and let him continue to develop these young guys and possibly ride off into the sunset with a ring. Who knows.
Very upset right now. I haven't been a member long, but I enjoy this forum. You guys are great people and I fully intend on participating daily next season. It's been a hell of a ride, but now is the time to buckle up and make the necessary changes to bring a championship back to Pittsburgh.
