My trigger finger is getting really itchy.

It really is pathetic. I understand having a beef with gameplay, and playcalling and such, but really. The game's over. Yesterday. Time to move on.

Oh well. Some folks need something to complain about I guess. Glad Arians affords them the opportunity.

Now I didn't see the game, only the lowlights (because for me there were no highlights).

Too Bad. You missed a great one-armed pick by Troy.
Maybe Arians can put him at wideout, after they cut sweed for not performing.

Wasn't that a Troy classic! He isn't called the Flyin' Hawaiin for nothing!

Troy's interception is up for Defensive Play of the week at NFL.com. Glad they noticed something good on the Steelers side of the ball. Go watch it.........and chill about the rest of the game for a few minutes!

After ONE loss? Hell, it happens after EVERY loss. It is absolutely uncanny how many people show up on this board to bash the hell out of the team whenever they lose, but they never show up after a win. This particular OP didn't even last one full day, though. Good job!

The sky is falling! Fire the coaches! Bench the QB! It's an annual rite of fall for "Steeler Nation"

This was to be expected. Now begins doom and gloom week.

"Our team sucks, fire this guy, bench the players, season is over." Then along comes the optimists. It's only one game, not so-and-so's fault, get lost bandwagoneers.

Just wait, it's gonna get real bad if we lose to Baltimore.

What's pathetic is the fact that forum members are being threatened with banishment simply because they don't agree with the moderators' assessment of Bruce Arians. That my friend is, downright pathetic.

Forums are designed for debates/squabbles. I haven't read anything that is out of line on this topic, just simple disagreements. Let the members settle it themselves. They don't need the forum police charging into action everytime there's a disagreement, especially a forum police squad member who's bias on the topic.

If you have a problem with the way things were handled, take it up with the owner. And your assessment of the situation is dead wrong.

Me thinks you really need to go back and re-read the thread in its entirety Steel Pit. Not that I feel I owe you or anyone else an explanation for our actions, but the proof is in the puddin' pal. I have absolutely NO problem with anyone disagreeing with my opinion on Bruce Arians or anything else for that matter. Debate, as long as it is presented in a respectful manner, is healthy. What I do have a problem with is a newbie coming onto this board and taking unnecessary shots at members because they disagree with HIS exalted *cough* *choke* opinion. Capeche?

No, we're supposed to sit idly by and let people flame each other.

So what's wrong with being an optimist, Ed? I refuse to blow an artery over one [ugly] loss in a season that is still in its infantile stages. I'm not blind and yes - there are some definite problems in several areas but it's way too early to throw in the towel (as some seem to be doing here) or throw anyone under the bus. There is time to address those issues and try to make adjustments as best Tomlin and the coaches can with what they have. I am admittedly the eternal optimist and those who know me off the board would confirm that. I'm not ashamed to acknowledge that I NEVER give up on any of my teams and I'm alive today because I live my life the same way.
