3. Time to Panic?
Four weeks have been played and the Steelers are tied with the Browns, and are looking up at both the Ravens and Bengals who are both 3-1 in the AFC North.
Of course the immediate reaction on twitter is that the season is over, and everyone should be fired and traded, but we all know that’s not going to happen.
There’s 12 weeks of football to be played, and while losing by 12 at home to your biggest rival and not scoring a single point in the second half is an outrage to anyone that bleeds black and gold, there’s also a LOT of time for this season to still go the right way, starting at home with the Falcons next week.
Maybe getting embarrassed on National TV in prime time will wake up the decision makers in this franchise that things DO need to change, and maybe more so to players who have been too busy worrying about their social media accounts, what shoes they wear entering the stadium, and putting together their celebration dances.
If there’s one thing this franchise has always prided itself on, it’s having heart, and through the first four weeks they just don’t look like they have the heart or the mental toughness of teams in the past.
Again, that doesn’t mean they won’t find it and have a successful season, but right now – there’s a lot of soul searching that needs to be done to get things corrected.

There comes a time when the old school way of conducting your buisness has to change . Long time buisnes do it all the time in this country . The Pittsburgh Steelers are going too have to do it to if they want to contend for a title . The entire organization knew at the end of last season that the defense had to be fixed . They had an entire offseason to make that happen . Theyre answer ? They bring in an avarage safety and a journeyman linebacker who has bounced from team to team during his NFL career . They call that fixing the defense .Bottom line , very little was spent and now it shows , bigtime . You get what you pay for and the Steelers are finding that out . Better free agents could have been had but they chose the easy less expensive route .Its not 1975 anymore and what worked back then wont work today . Its time to open the checkbook and go get some players . Otherwise look forward to alot of losing seasons going forward .
