Steelers Do What Cowboys Fear

[arglebargle]

Um.......I don't think those changes are working out so well in Pittsburgh.

Yeah, kinda bad timing for the article author.

Steelers Do What Cowboys Fear

Man, this title is ringing very much true as every game passes...5 & counting! I hope Dallas NEVER does what Pissburgh is currently doing!!

Amazing, isn't it?

The media jumped down our throats after we lost our 4th game last year... to fall to 3-1. They stayed down our throats all year.

But Pittsburgh loses 5 straight to fall to 6-7 and possibly out of the playoff race... and they haven't been slammed even close to how badly we were slammed last year.

Just all part of being the Dallas Cowboys. No other team has to deal with what our team has to deal with, in regards to the media.

Think about it this way. We are considered in the same light as the New York Yankees are in terms of being hated. The Steelers? Easy The Boston Red Sox and Norte Dame of the NFL. Beloved by many frontrunning idiots everywhere.

Debate and response is one of the things I enjoy here. Nothing is worse than apathy. Nobody is happier than me the Steelers lost. I was watching in a bar and yelling and clapping the whole game amongst some nasty Steelers fans.

They are right there with the other teams in the East as far as my hate needles goes and the Sixburgh thing is brutal, especially suffering through those 70's Super Bowls.

I am also glad the changes or adjustments they tried did not work. In fact, if anything they have looked progressively worse the last two weeks.

Change does not assure success. However, I can live with changes that don't work as opposed to doing nothing that continues not to work. So it looks like Romo will be holding, Choice may be getting more carries with Barber the closer (we'll see) and I hope both Butler and Ogletree get more reps. I believe those are all positive changes and I hope they work out, but...you never know.

Solid changes.

You stay classy, Pittsburgh.

Jerry Jones asked Wade in the presser if the team was a bunch of losers???


I dont remember seeing Jerry Jones at the presser, guess I missed it.

Change or at least adjustment. Change is scary because it's fear of the unknown. While I applaud the off season moves which took courage, this is an example of different in-season philosophies and approaches by two organizations. One has won 2 Super Bowls in the same time frame that one hasn't won a playoff game.

"We're fine" won't cut it in Pittsburgh. Accountability does.

From ESPN...

"We can't stay status quo in terms of how we're approaching this and expect the pattern of behavior or outcome to change," Tomlin said. "That's unrealistic. That's hoping. This is not a hope business."

Losing three leads in the fourth quarter against the lowly Raiders (4-8) made Tomlin lose that, and a lot more.

Tomlin was as close to agitated as he gets in public on Monday, suggesting longevity and loyalty don't count for nearly as much when a team is losing like the Steelers are. Changes are coming.

"Nothing stays the same in this game," Tomlin said. "Players are ascending, players are descending. People catch up with schemes, schemes evolve. Playing and coaching, this thing is ever-changing."

I'm not advocating large scale changes in a playoff stretch or change for the sake of change, but how's this for just three suggestions.

Starting Choice? Changing holders? Getting Butler and Ogletree more reps?

Just sayin'.

Yeah. How's that change working out?

 

[Fletch]

Yeah. How's that change working out?

13-9 in Cleveland is how it worked out. 5th game in a row. :laugh2:

This is the worst I've seen the Steelers play in a very long time.

This is the worst I've seen the Steelers play in a very long time.

I'm more than happy and willing to watch them fall into oblivion. I can't stand the steelers.

My only hope is it's a very long and drawn out suffering.

That's BS! If true, Tomlin would bench Ben, that's not going to happen. The team with the most talent and heatlh wins, coaches are overrated.

From Super Bowl Champions to losing to the Raiders and Cleveland and no playoffs...all in one season. Amazing how it can turn on a dime.

That...or last years team had some lucky bounces.

We do fear of imploding in December...
