The Pittsburgh Steelers have decided to give Christmas gifts to various teams early this season. Turnovers, ill-advised taunting and excessive celebration penalties have put games in the hands of our opponents.
First game, the bungles. Roethlisberger throws several INTs that turn into bungles TDs and even with that we had a chance to at least take the game to OT.
Second game, the chargers. We have a lead and then our Defense decides that they don't need to change things up as the chargers go into max protection. Rivers looked like a legend on the field and we get thumped in the second half.
Third game, vick and company (aka the dirty bird falcons). Our offense dominants with the exception of 3 turnovers and an unnecessary excessive celebration that turns into 28 points for them. And from what I saw, even vick looked like a football god out there yesterday as our defense couldn't make enough adjustments to either get to him or cover crumpler better! How does a TE score 3 tds in a game? That stuff should be your WR. And with his best WR out, we allow him to pick us apart and make plays that shouldn't have happened.
Finally, our beloved Steelers have acted more like Chad Johnson, TJ "whosmydaddy", and TO then they have the championship team that we have come to know and very much love. Their idiotic antics on the field have cost us games. What happen to lining up and playing football?
NOTE TO COWHER: If you want to straighten this thing out, then look in the mirror. You, as head coach, are suppose to set the example and in the past you have been tight on the reigns when it came to stupid moves such as what has been happening this year (and no you aren't responsible for the turnovers - but you are responsible for the antics on and off the field). It seems that you have lost the desire to discipline the team unlike years past! What has happen to your energy, your emotion, your chin?
NOTE TO THE PLAYERS: Just because you are the defending Super Bowl champions, does not mean that every team you play this year will lay down for you. That should have been proven to you in Week 2 when the jags defense smacked you around the field. It should have also been noticed when the chargers made all the right second half adjustments and you just seem to sit back without care or concern. And it should really open your eyes now that you have put yourself back in a corner and no in order to right the ship and have any hope for a run into the playoffs you can not afford to lose to another AFC team. Oh btw, in the remaining 10 games you play 7 AFC teams. But let's do a little research. Last year there were several teams that at 10-6 and even 11-5 that did not make the playoffs. Let's not bring this season to the last few weeks that we have to "HOPE" for other teams to lose so we make it as a wildcard. Now do what you do best - PLAY STEELERS FOOTBALL!!!
NOTE TO ROONEY: Please do not blame the officiating ever again. You sound like the bungle fans/coaches and seahag fans/coaches that have nothing better to do then to blame someone else other then their own performance!
HERE WE GO :tt02: STEELERS :tt02: HERE WE GO
