@jimmer2372:
You don’t know the half of it. If you live in the Baltimore area, you’d see just how obsessed Ratbird fans have always been with the Steelers. I guess it kind of makes sense since we historically own them and have knocked them out of the playoffs and back on their butts every time we’ve met in the post-season but I still find it amazing just how much brain power they waste worrying about ‘our’ team versus their own. I’ve literally heard many of them state that they get more enjoyment out of watching the Steelers lose than they do out of watching the Ratbirds win. I guess that’s to be expected from a fan base composed entirely of bandwagon jumpers. When you have no history or tradition of your own, you just lash out at those who have what you only wish you did.

As a Chiefs fan, I liked Haley. But Pitt fans, get used to the word ‘progress’. It’s his favorite. The fact that Ben is using this word would lead me to believe their relationship is making said ‘progress’, & that he’s buying into Haley’s system…

Things are looking up and just when the haters were ready to write the Men of Steel off.

Anyone ever notice how the Steelers live rent free in so many Ravens fan’s heads?

QB is the hardest position to play in all of team sports, and this just becomes more obvious when a new offense is installed and every player starts from zero. Ben will be fine.

@ Deb,
That smackdown of yours to one of the many tiresome and constant trolls was epic, thank you!

Excited to see what this season hold for the steelers. Would have been nice to see what they could have done last year without all the injuries problems we had. But hopefully this year they can stay away from the injury bug and make another playoff push. Go steelers

Haley was in over his head as a Head Coach. So he should do well as an OC again. As long as he doesn’t start thinking his office is bugged, he will be fine.

Deb, it’s obvious to everyone who reads these comment threads regularly that you’re all class, only post relevant comments, and think carefully before you type. You insult yourself by even bothering to respond to such asinine such drivel.

@bdawkins20 …

I’ve a big critic of Roethlisberger’s ego and his passive-aggressive approach to Haley in previous interviews. But in this instance, it sounds as though a reporter asked how things are going and he said everything’s fine. And while Bradshaw didn’t tell Noll how to run his team, they still had plenty of drama in their relationship

@kattykathy …

I’m used to seeing Ravens fans obsessing over the Steelers. But I’d prefer you stopped obsessing over me. I’m a vocal critic of Roethlisberger’s work ethic and supported Ben’s suspension for conduct detrimental, called for Harrison to be suspended for his Men’s Journal comments, thoroughly criticized Tomlin for his handling of Roethlisberger’s injury last season, and blasted Hines for saying our opening loss to the Ravens was just another game. I have no problem calling out our coaches and players when it’s warranted … and no problem complimenting yours when it’s deserved.

If you want to get attention on the football blog, try learning something about football instead of announcing that “kathy is in the room” or that you’re “katty” (nice spelling) then posting the same old idiotic smack and attacks on other commenters. It’s especially embarrassing to see a female post sexual attacks at other females because she doesn’t have the brains to simply comment on the sport.

I think the addition of Todd Haley is great for the team. He will only unlock the skills that Bruce Arians couldn’t. No more of that silly screen pass play that never worked. More passing and valuable runs by (this year) Redman and Dwyer.

And que the Pittsburgh Steelers version of Connie Hamzy. She will be here to do her “duty” for the team very soon I’m sure as usual….. if her feelings aren’t still hurt from yesterday.

“We’ve had some good talks,” Roethlisberger said, but the echoes in the bathroom stall are sometimes an issue.”
