What time are the Steelers playing this weekend?

Hey I'm happy and all that the Steelers didnt make the playoffs, but why should we gloat? They are a worthy adversary, and we all know that they'll be back in the playoff hunt next year.

They play tough but when you have the No 1 defense in the NFL and a two time winning SB Qb, but still sitting home during the postseason, something is terribly wrong. No gloating,steeler fans will remind you they have 6 rings, thats gloating.

I agree. I think the easy answer is injuries. And then some more injuries. Ben R. threw relatively few interceptions, he just seemed to throw them at inopportune situations, like at the end of a close game. And they came after his injury. Broken ribs will haunt a body for months on end. My dad broke his, and let me tell you, you are not the same for a very long time. Despite missing threej and-a-half games, he still put up respectable numbers.

Bad luck too. It seems the last few years the Steelers just can't seem to have good luck. But I guess one could argue you make your own luck.

I think the nuanced and profound reasons are things like new the OC, personnel issues, mojo, solar flares, alien abductions, etc. Hopefully all of that gets worked out next year.
