After mulling over this column for a day or two, I have concluded that Ben’s demeanor and comments this year are very reminiscent of Crosby’s demeanor last year. I doubt that the Steelers will learn from the Penguins, but a housecleaning seems to have improved Crosby.

I just said that! I love Ben, but this would be like the Cowboys trading Herschel Walker to the Vikings and getting all those picks that they used to build a SB team.

Diehard Steelers fan since the Immaculate Reception.

This is a 6-10 team at best.

Gone at the end of the year:

Kevin Colbert: after arguably 5 bad drafts, we can argue that he can’t evaluate talent. He makes too many bad personnel decisions, such as not retaining Bruce Arians

I do not believe Ben can get away with saying what Tom was saying. It would be taken out of context and Ben would be the “bad guy” just like everyone and everything else the Steelers do. It should be done in-house, if that is even possible. Come on boys!!!!!!!

If the Steelers were any other team in the League, Mike Tomlin’s seat would be white hot after back to back 8-8 seasons and what we are seeing now. It all started when Tim Tebow humiliated the Steelers in the playoffs and the ‘retiring’ Bruce Arians debacle. Art 2 is an ass.

Play calling is very overrated. The center needs to make the proper line calls for blocking and the QB can still change the play or go through his reads. Haley is not the devil.

6-10 looks more likely in reality.

Yeah, he’s terrible. With a quarterback rating of over 100, on a pace to pass for the most yards in his career, and doing this with Wheaton and Justin Brown starting with Brown. Yeah, just awful. Get a brain.

Yes, I’m sure the Rooneys discussed that with you personally.

T’was a gorgeous day. Went to North Park and enjoyed glorious autumn while it lasts. The Steelers are and have been an average team…not worthy of any emotional investment now. I’ll watch when the weather is as bad as they are. Lets Go Pens!
