Pittsburgh at Tennessee (10-16) I have always been a DIEHARD STEELER Fan my whole life. In my 20 years on this earth, I have seen both good and bad teams. This past weekend I took a hunting trip deep into the mountains and spared myself another ulcer. It felt wierd to not watch the game for once, but I have come to terms with the fact that we are not a very good team. It was Tuesday before I learned of our debacle... I expected it, however. The point that I am trying to make is that some fans are too involved (like myself) and we should support our team, but I have found that if I don't watch, I can spare myself some sanity. I still love the Steelers and I really hate this losing streak. I am debating what should be done to rebuild and return to glory. One thing that I will be watching Coach Cowher for is how HE RESPONDS to the current situation. Will he make changes? Are Malcolm Johnson and Amos Zereoue going to get reps? I say the season is done for us. But do not fret. WE WILL BE BACK. WE SHALL ARISE FROM THIS DARK DAY TO TRIUMPH ONCE AGAIN!!! Now, let's see who and what can be salvaged for next year! GO STEELERS!!! A Diehard Fan, Travis Tallman For the past 15 months, 9 days, 23 hours, 47 minutes and some few seconds I have been stuck in a living hell called Tennessee. I just wanted to write you to say thanks for the web site... it has been a saving grace for Stiller fans everywhere. I would be absolutely bonkers without this site. Living here is the pits, and to top it off the Titan Fans were picked Number 1 Fans by Pro Football Weekly. I still have trouble sleeping at night when I hear that. It's hard to believe that a town where no game (except the Steeler game) sold out before the season started, where no one shows up for the game until the end of the first quarter is over, where PLS still are available, could be ranked number 1. I attended the game on Sunday and it was terrible. My wife and I left for the stadium at 8:00 a.m. because I told her (from my past Steeler experiences) that we had to get there early so we can get a place to park. So we arrive in dahntahn Nashville at 8:20 and, low and behold, we could park ANYWHERE. No tailgaters except for the 10-15 thousand Steeler fans that showed up. And the Tennessee fans are the number 1? RIGHT!!! Thanks for letting me bitch, and keep up the great work. Stuck in Hell To sum up: I can drive 5-5. I do it every day. So can the Steelers, but the speed limit is 70 and the best they can do this week is 6-5. Put Gilbride in the booth where he can see better. The O-line did a great job run and pass blocking (I won't mention all those stupid penalties) and he sqaundered it! Tommy However, I will go neutral at Kordell this time. Is he a good quarterback? Not really. But does he suck in this day and age in the NFL? NOOOOOO!!! There are several average to below average QBS. He is one of them. The Steelers have no receivers outside of maybe Edwards. I question the play calling. What is the best weapon the Stillers have? THE BUS. Give him the damn ball 30 times a game. He only touched it 14 times for 88 yds on Sunday. When did Gilbride become a great offensive coordinator? The Steelers have multiple problems on offense, and it isn't all Stewart. The receivers stink, the line is below average. And the QB is below average. Give the ball to the BUS 30 times and roll the dice. He is their best weapon. So give the ball. Don't count on Stewart. The season appears to be over, so why not put all the eggs into the BUS'S basket. They will never be a throwing team with Stewart. They should have kept Lester and let the BUS just run. It isn't totally over, but it is close. They will be in every game down the stretch unless they mail it in. Ride that defense and see if the BUS can get you into the playoffs. Winnable games still exist vs. the Bungles, Baltimore, Carolina, and Tennessee at home and perhaps the Chiefs. 10 wins is still do-able... not likely, but do-able. Ride the BUS until it breaks down. BUS passes must be issued, you BETCHA...... Please give Famous Amos and Malcolm Johnson a chance. Maybe Pete Gonzales and Anthony Wright for a couple of series. What have you got to lose? Worried that you won't score any points?? Don't worry. It can't get any worse. Maybe something will click. Just tell them to go out there and bust heads. Run around, have some fun. You never know. Well, let me see... who will be on the Steelers next year? Earl Holmes... see ya buddie. You can play football, and I am sure the coaches are not pleased with that, so see you in a Jagoff uniform. You too, Kirkland. But hey,don't cry... it looks like Kordella will be with us for a long time! That's right, kids, we're kicking EVERYONE out of the basement. We want it all! They will be called the Pittsburgh Basement Buddies next year, or better yet, the Baseheads! I'm free, free basing, I'm , free basing! On note even sadder than our season (and more important), Vann Washington, a rookie safety in camp for the Steelers, was in a really bad car accident. Mr.Washington is in a coma, with serious head injuries... Football ain't everything. Later Daze, Nat HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO (Right out of the playoffs down the drain)!!! Terry Tom Bragg http://community.webtv.net/francoharris/TomsPittsburgh I can scarcely remember the last time the Steelers season was ostensively over just 10 games into the season. But here we are. Yeah, I know... mathematically, they're still alive. But let's face it... the fat lady started warming up before the Titans game, and by the time the final gun sounded, she was singin' her ass off. There's almost no point in assigning blame this week (Lord knows there's plenty to go around). Stupid penalties (often coming one right on top of the other) on both the offensive & defensive lines proved very costly. Mental errors helped sustain several Titan drives & killed several Steeler drives. Add the blown FG attempt and that ridiculous safety into the mix, and it was just too much. Yes, the defense played pretty well after struggling during the first quarter, but those 14 early points they allowed were simply too much for our anemic offense to overcome. Speaking of anemic, Kordell was awful (again). While the intentional grounding penalty resulting in a safety wasn't Kordell's fault (the officials blew the call saying Lyons wasn't eligible and awarded a safety to the Titans), there's no WAY should Kordell should've held the ball for that long standing in the shadow of his own goal post. And like last week, Stewart once again threw a "huh" pass late in the game that was picked off to seal the Steelers fate (a "huh" pass is one where Kordell throws the ball into a crowd of defenders and Sandy & I look at each other and say, "Huh?!"). Compounding Kordell's problems was yet another awful outing by our receivers, and the O-line (by virtue of all those pre-snap penalties) was also a liability. Doesn't leave much room for praise, does it? At least Bettis looked good. He was kicking some major tail whenever he got the chance (88 yards on 14 carries). Josh Miller (who's likely to be their only Pro Bowler this year) was marvelous as always. Other than that, it was pretty damn bad. Let's just hope the Steelers can find a few bright spots during the remainder of the season to build on. At this point, the games become little more than full-speed practices. Be that as it may, Cowher needs to hold these guys together... play on for pride & glory rather than just going in the tank. Yeah, the playoffs are no longer an issue, but we're still the Steelers. Let's see it we can't still deal a little death. Do me a favor, coach Cowher... get this team fired up to beat the snot out of Cinci next week. Don't just squeak one out or worse yet, lose (God forbid). Humiliate them. Please. Okay, I'm done. See 'ya next week. Until then, my bruthas!
