Get younger or this will be what happens again next season.

Getting tebowed sucked, but watching this collapse mightve been worse.

Truer words have never been spoken. The defense needs a new look.

Dunno if that's the issue right now. Defense played great today. Cincy's only touchdown was a pick six.

It's the offense that blew the season:

All four RBs fumbled at least once against Cleveland.

Ben threw a pick in overtime last week and lost the game...and it was in overtime to begin with because Antonio Brown fumbled a pumt and made two bonehead plays in the fourth quarter.

Cincy's only touchdown today was a pick-six, and Ben gave them the ball in great field position at the end of today's game.

That's three games the offense cost us this year. Should be sitting at 10-5 right now.

1st against the pass and 5th against the rush. I don't think the defense is the problem.

I agree. Their bigger problem this year has been offensive output, not defensive. Ben made some bad throws at critical times this season that have really cost them.

This is more to what I was talking about. It seems that Troy P. has been trying to get healthy for the past 3 years.

The defense is not the problem. Todd Haley is. He's fricking terrible. He took an offense loaded with weapons and made it fricking pathetic.

Heres what Rooney should do:

1) get rid of all RBs and start over
2) let Wallace walk
3) Biggest key in draft is getting a big name Cb and also a pass rusher.
4) cutting bait with two of Hampton, Polamalu, or Harrison
5) FiRe TODD frickING HALEY

Dunno about all of them. Dwyer/Redman can be backups. Mendenhall's contract is up and I can't see the Steelers making a long term commitment to him. I didn't see enough to convince me he'll be the player he was before the knee injury. Good news there is running back is a relatively deep position.

Agree on letting Wallace walk. That decision will be made for us. Someone (like Snyder or Jerry) will overpay him.

Pass rusher is more important than corner. Allen showed today that he can be the future at the CB position and Keenan Lewis is a serviceable option on the other side.

Hampton is done and should retire. I'd like to see Troy and Harrison stay one more year.

Haley is rumored to be heading to Arizona. Maybe we can bring back Wiz.
