Head up high, brother. Your Steel Town Crew is still one of the absolute class organizations of the NFL. They WILL be back. All of us who are fans of other teams know it. The Steelers will ALWAYS be in the hunt. Fire up Madden, go to your team, and file through the roster. Salute 'em. They fought.

We'll def be back albeit with an even-more aging defense..Our O-line better be improved or Ben we'll be in this same position next year......i been preaching for better CB's since forever and yet i still see the same scrubs game after game....That's been the weak link of our team(along with O-line) for a while yet it goes unnoticed......

Yeah, that D is aging. Too many over 30's. And Hines is headed for his last round-up. I will miss him when he retires; a great, great all-around player. Blocked like a lineman. I'll never forget that TD catch in the Cowher SB win. Hines willed that team to a win with that comeback-to-the-throw catch.

Changes a'comin', no doubt, for the black-and-gold.

Love Hines but he's the odd-man out unless he wants to come back as the 4th receiver...I don't mind changes but most of the attention needs to be focused shoring up the O-line and CB's....

funny thing is, if they coulda gotten 10-15 yards at the end of regulation and connected on a FG, this thread wouldn't exist

Absolutely, agidio. Share it. This lifelong Chiefs fan bows his head in humble respect to one of the greatest franchises and fanbases in all of sports. And I got plenty of evidence to back that up. Proud of the way the they hung in there. Don't let any "sour grapes" haters try to buffalo you that the Steelers lost that game straight up. A healthy Steelers team, and I think the outcome would have been quite different.

But hey, I'm veering close to 'dis of the Broncos. A win is a win, and I respect Tebow (wish the media would leave him alone), but I'm thinkin' Wild Bill is drawing up some serious pain tonight for Tim, DT, and co.

You watch. Mike will have the Steelers contending again, and the mad old genius LeBeau will be making life miserable for Flacco, McCoy, and Dalton once again!

Dude--SERIOUSLY. How can you be a football fan and NOT admire and respect the Black and Gold? I ask you, HOW???

Ah, just get out there and play. It could be worse. You could be a Cowboys fan.

Could be worse. Could be a Bills fan and watch every year, seeing the bright spots, and then watching them sink like a ship from injuries.
