We don't deserve the playoffs

[OX1947]

Before 7 years ago, I would have said the same thing. But in this NFL, teams can suck balls all year, squeak in the playoffs and win it all. Only one 1 seed has won the super bowl in the last 7 years. And 4 of the 7 were wild card teams.

Congratulations! You've officially lost your mind.

I do blame Tomlin for quite a bit here. The buck stops with him. I'm tired of the same interviews "well we take responsibility for this game. It's our bad. Ummm you know the standard is the standard and we'll just have to go back to basics because ummm well the standard is the standard" etc.!

Fire Todd Haley, get rid of that worthless, overpaid spider monkey Wallace who couldn't even catch a cold, fire Mendenhall, fire Leftwich and possibly keep Batch. As much as I can't stand the guy he played a hell of a lot better then Big Ben.

Do we deserve the playoffs? I agree with the OP. It would be nice to be champs again but I dont see that happening with our team playing like a bunch of retards eating an icecreme cone. We do not deserve it the way they have been playing. You can win championships with turnover after turnover after turnover; or penalties; or fumbles; or dropped passes; or special teams lost yards etc.

I live Ben but I think he just needs to sit these out.

Dude how many coronas did you have and you forgot FIRE the water boy!!!

more power to you for being optimistic, but as many mental lapses this season i've seen from the team, this isn't one that's going to run the table in the playoffs, I'm just being realistic here. Sure we got a better than average team, but this team doesn't have the same feeling as the 2005 steelers did.

if someone made a bet with you that the steelers weren't going to the super bowl, would you have enough confidence in the team to take that bet?

It's good to see that other people realize this team has problems. Optimism is nice but open your eyes and see that these problems won't disappear before next Sunday @Dallas

Ok so I didnt watch today but THE FUCKING CHARGERS?? Really? How the hell does this team continue to lose to such shit teams? I dont get it, they play their heart out last week against Baltimore with Charlie Batch then lose to this shit team with big ben back.

tomlin isnt very good as a coach....im over his ass....he doesn't seem to keep the guys very motivated

I don't understand why we play bad against bad teams. Is it bad coaching or a players issue? I think a little of both.

The Giants were pathetic last year and only got into the playoffs because the NFC East was terrible, and they worked everyone the last 4 games. It doesn't make sense but if the steelers are only going to dominate good teams, then the playoffs this year will be good.
