And for the love of everything holy, BEAT THE FRICKING STEELERS!

I mean the Steelers shouldn't be anymore important than beating 30 other teams.  I get us fans get amped up for Steeler Week, whether they admit or not, I'm sure our players do to, ask Mr. Burfict how he feels. To me, the little brother syndrome doesn't work when you have a goal. Maybe with no connections between them and our new staff, might help in that regards....

As far as the original point it were a number of games that we could have won and should have. So I dont think we are as bad off as the national media want everyone to think. We had punksburg until the illegal pick at the end and the bad 2 point call against the Chargers come to mind instantly. We just need and right tackle and a linebacker or two along most importantly no major injuries to key players. It's too many stars on offense to not put up points, along with a fresh regime on that side of the ball to not succeed. I think maybe Price should go back to RG like he was at OSU and Hopkins take over center. As far as the defense a linebacker in rd 1 or 2 should do wonders as the line and secondary are the strength of the defense. 

Bingo fellas

It's not just needing a RT or a MLB, or a WLB or a TE or a new offensive scheme, new defensive mind set, or running MJ and Redmond out there when they're not getting it done.

We need a complete culture change ! We have to learn how to win, learn how to put our foot down on teams necks ! You're not gonna beat Pittsburgh and all the other good teams playing not to lose.

Can they fix all of that in 7 months ?
