He is not getting the job done. This not scoring in the red zone crap is driving me crazy!

Yes! He can take the GM Kevin Colbert with him. With a couple exceptions, every draft pick he has made in the last four years has been a huge bust.
The issue with the Steelers today was more on defense.

They really only scored 3 points. The touchdown at he end was meaningless. You won't beat anyone only scoring 3 points.
And all the recently drafted defensive players suck.
The Pittsuck Steelers get destroyed one game by the new fake Browns and the fanatics want to blow up the whole team!
That's karma for the feds letting the Pittsburgh National Corporation steal Cleveland's National City and then being a sponsor of the team. It was hilarious all day hearing how the now Official bank of the Browns has already switched sides.
Pretty sure the Pride of Findlay Ohio wasn't the one that gave up 31 POINTS to the Clownies.
The Steelers have too many issues to point at just one.
Haley , the OC, Ben's holding on too the ball too long, the D letting anybody catch the ball before they decide to play defense.
Get a new OC. That's a start.

We haven't made the playoffs since they hired Haley. They need to fire his a$$ IMMEDIATELY! I also agree Kevin Colbert has to go. He has lost his touch, his draft choices have been terrible. Is it that freakin hard to find a pass rusher. Changes need to be made now!
What's up with my Steelers wrote:

Ben is the least of our worries.
Although I'm not from Pittsburgh, I have been a Steelers fan most of my life. I love Mike Tomlin but the Steelers need to fire EVERYBODY who doesn't have the last name Rooney. Since that bum Tebo threw that pass to beat us in the playoffs we have been an average team. Somewhere around 19-19. That is totally unacceptable for the Steelers. FVCKING FIRE EVERYBODY. I haven't been this mad since the Rodney King verdict.
Not yet.
Send Haley back to where he came from and make LeBeau retire. LeBeau is too old to understand he doesn't have the talent required to run his defense. Oh, Kevin Colbert needs to go too. With the exception of L Bell his recent draft picks are TERRIBLE.
Management pushed out a successful offensive coordinator (Ariens) to make room for Haley. They want this guy to succeed like no other so they have been investing all of their offensive draft picks in an effort to appease his dink & dunk style of offense. Rainey, Wheaton, Archer, Landry Jones,..... The list goes on and on.
These specific type of players were drafted above the best available and also caused specific concerns such as defensive backs to go on the backburner with the hopes that LeBeau could rekindle magic and make something out of nothing. He can no longer do this because teams are no longer dazzled by the zone blitz.
Couple all of this push to promote the dink & dunk with a QB that is the opposite. Ben has made a living with deep drops, holding the ball, and creating. The offense no longer can accommodate that since offensive linemen (2nd tier because draft picks were used on scat backs and a QB that will never see the field)are trained to only have to hold for 2-3 seconds until a receiver screen can be thrown. This offensive style also is the main reason for the poor red zone performances when DB's creep up.
Don't forget that Colbert was previously the GM for the Detroit Lions in all their terrible years. Once he ran through Donohoe's roster and had to rely on his own picks they have been average or below.
I am afraid things appear they will get worse before they get better.

Didn't they also lose to Tampa Bay?

Not to mention going 0 and 4 to start last season. With the exception of the Charlotte game this year, the Steelers have not looked impressive whether they win or lose.

The Rooney's forced Todd Haley on Tomlin. It was reported that Tomlin fought for Ariens but he was overruled. LeBeau's defense requires a Casey Hampton type nose tackle and a pass rush, we have neither. We could have Dion Sanders and D Reevis as DBs and they wouldn't do well. Without a pass rush a rookie free agent QB can beat us.

I will meet you at Primanti Brothers.
Is Bubby Brister available?
wow
The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!
522 yds passing 6 touchdowns against a very good Colts defense.
