Why the Steelers suck
The primary reason why this team sucks is the offensive line, which just impacts too much of the game. They can't run behind the line, and they can't rely on pass protection. The OL causes a big deficit in the field position game. Instead of wearing down opposing defenses, our line wears down our defense, just in time to cave in during a crucial drive. None of the game is controlled, it's a crap shoot in terms of trying to win games, and all the pressure/disadvantages inevitbly lead to turnovers. What's more glaring, the time of possession this year is skewed heavily against us.
So, that's the primary issue. Secondarily, the FO must catch some flack. The Woodley and Colon contracts were ridiculous. These are the players they give huge contracts to in order to keep? Aside from that, they fucked up by letting Starks, Lewis and Harrison ALL go without the depth to deal with those losses. But, the steelers are in denial that goes way beyond these bad choices, you can even argue for letting those three players go. But, you simply can't expect to continue to be successful if you never sign any decent free agents while simultaneous drafting in the bottom half of the draft each and every year. Baltimore and the Patriots make deals and solid FA signings. They also work the draft and their picks quite well. The Steelers have done shit because the FO has drank their own bath water for too many fucking years. They need to open their eyes.

Re: Why the Steelers suck
Yep, winning consistently year after year breeds arrogance that causes pacifism, which gives us the results we are seeing today. The truth of the matter, Ben has been carrying this pathetic offensive line for years. Any other QB and we’d be similar to the Brown’s or Bengals IMO.RLON39 wrote: The primary reason why this team sucks is the offensive line, which just impacts too much of the game.

Re: Why the Steelers suck
averaging 52 rushing ypg ranking 31 in the league. Any wonder why we are looking up at the rest of the division?

Re: Why the Steelers suck
The title to this subject is self explanatory.But,Rlon is correct also I've been saying this as well. In today's sports,you have to be able to wheel and deal through fa,and the draft. The Steelers gotten themselves in trouble with the cap by signing players that didn't cut the mustard,now it's showing. The team was blessed by defenses didn't know how to defend them.What teams are doing is stacking the box making Ben beat them with his arm,knowing the ol can't produce running lanes. I hope we don't think Bell will be a savior,because he's not

Re: Why the Steelers suck
Ben got hit on the hand in that game from a helmet. It might have played a role in why he fumbled the ball so many times in this last game.foghorn wrote:[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Re: Why the Steelers suck
Do you even have a sense of humor? The picture is/was intended to be a light moment in discussion of a team that right now..... SUCKS ASS! Ben shares as much blame as any other player in this. I can think of 100 million reason why he HAS to play a LOT better. These aren't kids playing a game- they are PAID professional athletes... it's their JOB to preform. I'm tired of Ben getting a pass... yea his O-line sucks.... then get the dam ball out quicker! shorter routes, do something. But there seems to be enough people who ACT like he can walk on water. he don't! I bet if he took a dump in the middle of the room.... it'd stink just as much as your or mine.diehardsteersfan wrote:Ben got hit on the hand in that game from a helmet.

Re: Why the Steelers suck
The dude has been standing back there holding onto the ball so he can make a big play and you want to bash him for it? Ben has no problems getting the ball out quick to a receiver once they get open. Ben gets no blame in my book.Admin wrote:Do you even have a sense of humor? The picture is/was intended to be a light moment in discussion of a team that right now..... SUCKS ASS!

Re: Why the Steelers suck
Do you know who really deserves the blame? Colbert, Haley and Tomlin. These guys have been atrocious drafting players in the last 5-years...worse than any other team in the NFL IMO.Admin wrote:Do you even have a sense of humor?
