Will the Real Pittsburgh Steelers, please show Up!

First it was Arizona, then Denver, now the Jets. These are three sub-par teams who beat the Steelers. Sunday’s game was a fiasco. Jets QB Clemens looked more like a veteran than Big Ben. The offensive line is horrendous allowing 6 sacks and I lost count on how many hurries. The defense faired no better allowing a 100 yard rusher to a running back who up to Sunday’s game rushed a total of 100 yards all season and no touchdowns.

It seems this team is falling apart in the worse way. What makes it so bad is its November and traditionally the Steelers are stronger in the second half. What is going on?

The Steelers have been so bad I can’t seem to compose myself to break down the break downs. The only thing good about Sunday’s lose-The Steelers are still AFC North leaders.

Next stop the 0-10 Miami Dolphins. At this point the Dolphins must be licking their chops. This could be a chance to break their losing streak. The Steelers will be with out “Troy Boy” Polamalu due to a knee injury. Troy didn’t play against the Seahawks and the Steelers shut them out. So there should be no excuses for another lose, especially against the Miami Dolphins. As did the Jets, the Dolphins will be starting a rookie QB John Beck and RB Ricky Williams is back on the roster slated to play. Since RB Ronnie Brown has been injured, the trench duties have been turned over by Jesse Chatman. However Ricky Williams may contribute in his first game in what 2 years-3 years. Now will the Steeler D allow another 100 rusher in Chatman or Williams?

Do ya think Joey Porter will be talking stuff to his old teammates? I am quite sure he too is looking for that illusive win and seeing how the Steelers respond to sub-par teams…he could see it.

Yes my view point is grim. The first two losses were bad enough, but to the Jets…the situation seems deplorable. Hopefully, Steelers fans will have a happy ending to their Thanksgiving…..With a win. New England is next.

Lets Go Steelers.
