Sad but true:

Our head coach thinks he can "will" his arrogance to a win
He will never admit he's wrong
Our DC is incompetent. Bowles was a genius and made Arians who he he was
Our team competes, but is subject to the coaching inefficiencies
We are not a Super Bowl Team
We are not a Playoff Team
We have some great players, and I'm sure they are frustrated.
Our frustrated players deserve so much better.
I'd be surprised if we win 8
Abuse me.

Put the pipe down... Seriously... This team isn't the "best" team in the NFL. Surprised??
This team, this owner, this GM and this head coach are all better than 95% of their counterparts.
Let's see where we are come our bye week. I have big concerns for sure. But I still see a ton of positives as well. Enough to carry this team to a Super Bowl appearance? Well, I think this team is better than our super bowl team in '09. Ya never know. But definitely way too early to start these types of threads...

Not going there with you

We are not playing our best right now with all the mistakes we are making.

But we have a good team that can turn this around. How good? Not sure yet

I recall a team that got blown out in NE one year and had a couple more horrible losses and still ended up playing in the SB.

Very disappointing day but people need to step back from the ledge.

Its crazy the stuff I read here after each loss. There are a lot of positives for this team and the season is long.

That being said we lost to a good Pitt team that has won against SF and the Rams. The Rams beat us but they also beat Seattle. Detroit almost won in Seattle and we crushed them away...

There's a lot of negativity here and it's way to early for anything. BA has been called a genius by everyone here, he loses a game and all of the sudden he is terrible?! This was tough for him too- coming back to Pitt, the weather was a factor (there was a strong wind when Cat kicked the missed FG), the referees made mistakes in more than one instance...

You can't expect to have 6 forced TO's every week and also not make TO's yourself.

I would be seriously worried if we lose to the Ravens, although I don't see it happening. How we respond to that game will show a lot about the character of this team.

Also, BA is actually quite a likable and respected character in Pittsburgh.

BS. Continually beating awful teams (which Baltimore is) at home doesn't show anything about our character. We already know they can do that. What they can't do right now is beat anyone with a pulse.

You are a clown.[/QU"iixOTE]

Keep it coming. Abuse me all you want. If I'm wrong, you win. My oldest son is an Army Ranger, he plays on statistics, he says based on "in house" statistics, you are all wrong. Let's see how it plays out.

against the easiest schedule in the league. whoop-dee-freaking-doo!

Would you rather be 2-4


Sometimes I really wonder if people here root against this team just so they can get to complain about something

Exactly! There's a bad case of broken ankles in the "fan" base today.

why is that my only option? no. I'd rather be 6-0 or 5-1 playing such a cake schedule, especially considering our schedule becomes much tougher as the year goes on.

Honestly, the above is an idiotic question.

yeah... that's what's going on. If you really wonder that, I wonder how intelligent you are.

So being a Ranger makes your son a sports expert somehow? Please elaborate.

My son did analysis that saved hundreds of Ranger and Navy Seals lives and is highly decorated. When he walks away from watching a game with me, trust me, I believe what he says. You may not get the big picture, but BA and the Rangers, work on an analysis/percentage program. He says we're gonna lose, and we do.

Stats don't explain anything. Football isn't played on paper because if it was we won when we out gained them by almost 200 yards.

that's great that you have low expectations and want to live in before-land. If someone told you TODAY that we would have played the easiest schedule in football and we were 4-2, with an incredible tough schedule coming up, would you happily take it? If you did, I think you have pretty low expectations for this team.

Why can't we be 16-0 waaaa waaaa

yeah... cause THAT'S what I'm saying. You're acting like we're 9-1. We've just lost of our last three to bad teams. That concerning to say the least. But if it's not to you, I guess I hope you have fun happily celebrating underachieving so far this season.
