I would just like to make a few comments about the 5 Things We Learned from Pittsburgh's 20-3 Loss.

First, I would like to say Ben was immobile. We all know Ben healthy, if he was last night it would have been a completely different game. There would be less sacks and more big plays, I could go on and on...

That being said, you said that "the offense couldn't move the ball." The Steelers STILL out-gained the 49ers 389 to 287 yards. The Steelers didn't make the big plays to get points. This is tough when you are consistently pinned inside your own 20. I disagree with your statement. I also disagree with you saying that the 49ers were "nearly unstoppable" on 3rd down. They converted 4/13 compared to the Steelers 8/14. Not sure where you came up with that conclusion, but 30% 3rd down conversions does not seem unstoppable to me. I disagreed with most of the article. Last thing I have to comment on is you saying "Mike Tomlin, it's time to take the training wheels off and try to WIN games instead of just SURVIVING them." I'm not sure how you call yourself a Steelers fan. 53-25 is a pretty good coaching record if you ask me. Surviving games? Really?

Futhermore even most of the wins would have been losses except for the fact that the opponents receivers were the Steeelers best offensive weapons. I've never seen so many dropped passes by our opponents. Its like they were being paid byu the mob to drop ones right in the hands that a 5 yr old could have caught. Just shows that Lebeau who ive always loved and admired and tomlin arent in the real world watching the tapes or they have learning disabilities and nmeed to go to special Ed Schools for that slow learning they suffer from.
I just can't stand to see my Steelers so helpless if only for the fix it style to be implimented.

Someone pleaseake them look and listen Please.
We should have hired Whisenhunt in the first place. Look what the Cards are doing to the opponents that are working us over. And the Cards ( with Horton) now use our system but they are now winning.

Would someone please send Dick and Mike tapes of Arizona's games and maybe they might see what needs to be done or not done????

Im done venting and hope it doesnt go "no where"

sorry about the or my lack of computer skillsbut more so slow computer or web site more likely. It took a long time before the comment would post (after i went out and came back home). Therefore the leave Nick a message was added to my comment which should Start with " Can't you talk """""""""""""""""" etc

Leave a message for NickCant you talk to these idiots acting like stubborn old men who wont change whil;e the ship is sinking?? you nailed it all and cant someone get the message across that either Lebeau has to retire for youth and or Tomlin out because everything you said in this article is RIGHT ON!!!These have been the same reasons for all their losses and Cleveland and Cinnci they almost got beat. All their losses were the same faults. You would think after using a winning formula against the Patriots would make them repeat that.??? No insteaqd they get DUMB AND DUMBER.

Thanks please sneak in the locker or better yet the coaches offices and leave your articles on their desks.

Hey, Nick! Just got your message re: my live blog from....oh....27 DAYS AGO! It never really occurred to me to scroll down to the bottom of my profile page. As it turns out, I've missed a few requests and thoughts.

Thanks for the props. I sat in for a couple of your LB's, and it helped me get the flavor! In fact, my first LB (vs. Cardinals) saw me a bit biased. I thought that BOTH TEAMS had personnel covering the game, and realized afterwards (after Matt contacted me) that it's one person per game.....not two.

So, in other words, there is a group (or ten) of Cardinals fans out there thinking, "What a biased, incredulous jerk!" But, by the Patriots game, I worked out the kinks. I think....

In fact, I may have to be careful. As soon as I gave the Bengals props during my most recent LB, I got skinned for it in the comments!

I REALLY appreciate the support. Means a lot coming from the most read (easily of late) writer on the team page. Thanks again!

Hi Nick,
I enjoy reading your stories everyday, they're very enjoyable ! But, you failed to put Steve Furness on your list of the 25 most feared Steelers ! He played on all 4 super bowl teams and played position on the "D" line. Ernie Holmes was only on 2 of the teams, yet when the " steel curtain " is mentioned in stories Steve Furness is never mentioned !

I recognize you are a Steeler fan but Ray Lewis is a dirty player ?? Tough to buy that one (likely will be fined for the Ward hit though because the league has this rule screwed up). Have you seen Hines Ward and Harrison play? Calls.....the first call of the game went to the Steelers and brought back a long touchdown run (DB was holding also), also Rice was in the endzone but didn't count because of a quick whistle. If you look at the game film his knee what not down and the play was still active. Count that for 11 points ... game over in the 1st half. FYI, the old Colts had a successful band (still performing), it's a Balt. football tradition.

Nick, while I understand that you are a Steelers fan, I would appreciate it if you were a little less biased in your articles. In your recent article discussing lessons on the Pittsburgh loss to the Ravens, you referred to Ray Lewis as a dirty player, ranted about the pro-Baltimore bad calls without mentioning the pro-Pittsburgh bad calls, and slid in a snide remark about the band making Baltimore seem classier "than it really is". These are the type of things I expect from a half-drunk internet troll immediately after a loss, not a featured columnist on a popular site. You should try to stay above the fray.

Hey Nick, thanks for this excellent work! Two big misconceptions, Dallas lost Super bowl XIII with the drop by their TE Jackie Smith. And biggest one "Steelers travel well" - They do not travel as much as they they are everywhere. And I hope they are never tagged "America's Team" since that is a misconception from the beggining... (Whispered: "America is a continent that was named 269 years before there even existed a country including it as a reference... U.S -of- America...)

Oh Yeah, Nick. Another misconception: the Ravens are the Steelers' archrivals. Sportscasters have done a lot to create this misconception but, it's always been the Browns.
