What the *9%$ about the Steelers

Yes I am returning to the roots of this blog, FOOTBALL (American).
Some (maybe 2) readers remember how this blog started, posting football scores for the troops overseas plus the yabbering of the misfortunes on the field.

Well over the years more writers joined the blogosphere and I graciously back step into the retreat of readers.

4 games later, I am fuming!! What is up with the Steelers? AGAIN!

4 losses, in a row, in a bad buffalo row. First of all, we cannot blame the coach for bad calls, ala my other love, Belichek. Mike Tomlin, did not make any slap in the forehead calls, but should have slapped, no, more like bat-whack the helmets of his players. Flipping though the playbook, yeap, football is still a TEAM Sport. Translating, more than one player completes the game. An injured player, therefore, should not cost the entire team to FAIL. The other members of the team completes the operation, finish the game.

What ever happened to the secondary teams, the backups, the other players?
The loss of the long hair dude, does not mean you let the other team waltz past you to touch downs. Big Ugly Jock, Big Ben is standing on the sidelines, that means his understudy should have been primed, lubed and cranked to take over. Walking refrigerators should be his caraface, protecting the infant and guiding him. My forehead is red from 4 games of head slapping disappointments, some one will be honored with the bill for ice packs.

What is the roborant? Maybe a little of Bill Cowher, a little Belichek, a little of humble pie.

As my dear Brady boy puts it,"We do not deserve a win with the mistakes we made."
