1. When I was a kid I used to throw stones down a mine shaft near my home. You could hear the stone bouncing and pinging all the way down and it took awhile before the stone hit bottom. I have watched and listened to every game this year and I think it took about 42 seconds last week for that stone to hit rock bottom for the Steelers. The mine shafts in Cleveland must be very, very deep.
2. I smell rookies, rookie mistakes and the stinking media(NFL Network).
3. Players make plays, like face masks;/ Coaches are supposed to put players in the best possible position to succeed. Maybe the defense did start to come together some but they played against a tremendously good O line last week.
4. Take the chance, get the TD and then run a two point conversion. Give it to Bell and have him run around for 30 seconds or so to waste time;) 0 for 5 on two point conversions but we win! haha. Let’s blame Tomlin:)
5. The Steelers can still rise from the ashes but it’s starting to get dark:/

1. Agree with Bill, both ways
2. I don’t think it is dissension. I think it is Ben feeling desperate to win another Super Bowl while he can.
3. Yes. But seriously, I’m quite sure the guys aren’t being coached to leave their gaps or hit guy’s out of bounds or all the other stuff that hurt them on Sunday. I think it’s a combination of the relative youth of the defense and having critical guys injured or missing. Or just not playing well.
4. Again, I’m with Bill. I didn’t have any reason to believe the Steelers could stop the Cowboys offense for 42 seconds, and in the end they couldn’t.
5. I think I want to cry. Cam Heyward is one of my favorite Steelers, on and off the field, and the thought of the rest of the season without him is scary. If there’s any possible optimism to be found, and there isn’t much, it’s that it will provide an opportunity for guy’s like Javon Hargrave to really step up. If they can. That is the best I can do.

1. Losing to the Browns would be rock bottom. I am not counting that possibility out.

2. I don’t believe crap that the NFL network reports on the Steelers.

3. Both. Butler supposedly simplifies the scheme so younger guys could pick it up faster and not have to ride the pine for 3 years. Well, young guys are seeing the field earlier, but they still aren’t getting it done.

4. As soon as they scored I looked at the clock and said “Sh!t. They left them too much time.”

5. Just insult on top of injury.
