Yeah there are about 20 reasons we lost that game before JuJu’s fumble. Mistakes happen and he’s been clutch all year. The officiating and coaching otoh were inexcusable.
Note to JuJu... Please contact PennStateNate to see how you are supposed to act.
The Steelers are a collection of very good athletes who sometimes play like as good team. But this year, they have not played like a good team enough to earn a spot in the playoffs. This inconsistency is on Tomlin and his staff.
Have to say Nate is very entertaining when the Steelers are in meltdown mode.
He's the only reason they don't have a losing record.
Ben has a ton to do with that and so does Conner.
But I’m sure Juju will be posting dance vids on instaface later. That’s what it’s all about.
I left to pick up my parents at the airport. I see tomlin lost another one. Good job tomlin.
Well now we need browns to win. Hasn’t worked at all so far hoping other teams would lose. So I put this at 20-80?
Oh well. Another year of disappointment and we still have next year of disappointment because tomlin will not change .
What a waste of talent on this team!!!

Were you this hard on Conner when he fumbled and led to a loss a few weeks ago?
It’s on the coach not the player who screwed up. When Conner fumbled and then 4 weeks ago Washington fumbled and 2 years when troussaint fumbled at Denver it all has to do with fundamentals. That is the head coach.
No but they both fumbled to cost them the game, social media or not. What's you point with what they do with their free time?
I agree but that fake punt was horse shit when the defense was playing lights out.
Middle of the field about 15 yards downfield...where many big plays happen vs the Steeler defense. Seen it often this year.
Omg I just watched that fake punt on twitter did he really do that. Thank god i left for the airport or i would have had a meltdown.
Tomlin needs to go.
Tomlin needs to go.
Maybe you should stop following them if it offends.
If I don't like the channel I change it or don't watch it, really not that difficult.
I didn’t think the fake punt was a bad call. My first reactions was that it was risky but when I thought about it, at that point in the game, even if the Saints score the Steelers would get the ball back.
And the Steelers were in good position to win. If Juju doesn’t fumble, I think the Steelers get a TD and win in regulation.
It was the two fumbles in scoring position that lost them the game.

I’m no Steelers fan. Didn’t have a dog in the hunt today.
I’m amazed at the number of people beeching about the officials here and on other sites. Even worse than those who complain on fall Saturdays during Penn State games.
I hold some very strong opinions on officials:
1. Officials don’t make it to that level if they are poor performing officials.
2. Officials don’t reach and stay at that level by favoring one team over another. Don’t ever tell me an official is cheating unless you can prove it. Don’t ever tell me a league or a conference is instructing its officials to favor one team over another unless you can prove it.
3. Officials are not perfect. Same can be said for everyone else involved in the game.
4. Officials didn’t beat the Steelers today. The Steelers beat themselves....with a little help from the Saints.

and 2 gift TD's for NO in the first half.
Yea I probably would have punted but I don't think it was a horrible call either.
I guess I'm in the minority but I didn't see anything Tomlin did that is causing all this vitriol.
Then direct your ire and vitriol at Steeler mangement. I don't think it was Tomlin, Ben, JuJu or anyone player that said don't pay him.
Sorry those were some pretty horrible calls in the first half that led directly to 14 points, "don't ever tell me they weren't".
I’m sure that will change it. Best way is to quit following them. The Rooney ownership is getting like the Nutting ownership every year. Only cares about money. Team has needs that can put them in a position to compete and it gets ignored.
That first PI in the endzone was a gift TD. I hope that guy gets coal for Christmas.
Not saying they weren’t poor calls.
Just saying they weren’t made with ill intentions. Official screwed up, but not nearly as bad as the Steelers.
I do agree that the Steelers management deserves a lot of the blame this year. After Bell rejected their offer they should have cut or traded him.
By keeping him on the team they had to reserve $15 million in cap space for a player that never took the field.
And if they had signed a semi-competent backup QB, they beat Oakland and they wouldn’t be in this mess.
The Steelers fans don't hold a monopoly on complaining about the officials. Read the Eagles strings on this board.
and I guess I'll just bring up that there were NBA officials that were caught cheating. So it can happen. Who know's if it was will "ill intentions or not" but it has happened.
Or like any other NFL board or college board after a loss. I don't know why people think its only a certain fan group that does it.
