Unfinished business for Steelers: 'If we don't win it this year ... it's on us'

[stillers4me]

It’s been six months, but the emotions are still raw. Playoff wounds never completely heal, especially from tightly contested games that are decided in the final minutes.


Tears flowed inside the visiting locker room at Sports Authority Field at Mile High following the Steelers’ 23-16 loss to Denver in an AFC divisional round playoff game Jan. 17. Coach Mike Tomlin cried in front of his players for the first time anyone, including long-standing members of the team, could remember. The tears flowed freely from players, too, at the realization their season had come to an abrupt and unexpected end.


It’s one thing to lose to a better team. That happens in the NFL playoffs all the time. It’s quite another to lose when you believe you had the better team...........

Too bad Bell and Bryant think otherwise.

They also need to start beating Baltimore again. The Ravens have had it too good for a while.

Unfortunately, the steelers have too many stupid players in their team.

Even if this is only 2,this is too much.

I have no doubt in my mind that if AB and either Bell and/or D. Williams were healthy we had a very solid chance of making it to the SB.

Yes, put one of those 3 in the game and we win lol. But that is why they play the game, can't feel to bad knowing we lost against the SB champs, and our offense was better than their def (which won the SB for them).

We all have been through this waaayyyyy too many times, haven't we ? Not just play off games, but games to damn bottom feeders, which to me sometimes hurts more.
