I watch the steelers game everytime they are on TV. Sadly I live in Oklahoma. And last year they did good, not the greatest untill closer to the end of the season. Then they won the superbowl. Awesome, but this season it seems they are slacking off. They havent won a game except the first one of the regular season. Anyone else want to comment on this?

Tough games, they had the Bungals game won until Colclough decided to Field a punt with his hands instead of his body and arms. Of course he dropped it and tried to pick it up on the run. Anyone else would have just jumped on it. This gave the Bungals the ball on the 9 yard line, anyone could have scored after that. Previously the Steelers had them three and out over and over (6 sacks). This was the momentum swinger and the end of Pittsburgh's chance at a victory. Damn it Colclough.
Jacksonville just has an awesome defense and shut us down. Although our defense kept them out of the end zone, allowing only 3 Field goals
Ben has looked a little rusty, as anyone would after all that he has been through. Hines Ward is still battling a hamstring injury. Willie Parker couldn't get it going against Jacksonville, but racked up over 130 yards against the Bungals. Santonio Holmes is looking pretty good, especially for a rookie. The defense is still getting it done, as they always do.
They have a bye week, so they should be able to get somethings straightened out and get healthy. They usually start a little rough and get better as the year progresses. So there is no need to panic as of yet!
Hope this helps

First...this isn't unusual for the super-bowl winner to do this. I think there is a number of factors involved here...but it's starts with their offense, Big-Ben is rusty and gone through some stuff stuff, the helmet, operation etc...he is not 100% and probably won't be for a few more weeks. The defense is in my opinion is playing well...they didn't really come alive until the end of last season...many forget that. Last year the defense played like wild men someone around game 12-13. The number 1# problem they have is offense. Make no mistake there is lot's of talent here...they will get it together by game 6 or 7. BTW...I hope they lot's of losses by then...I'm a Bengals fan and really hate Pittsburgh...but that's my truthful view of what's wrong! You know they are doing bad when their fans call the Bengals the bungles etc...that's when we know things are well...they name call!

1st because they have a bullseye on there back, there the defending champs so every team gets up higher then usual to play them
2nd they were more lucky then good so to speak, last year,
and lastly they had some key losses as well as some ill timed off field incidents that seem to have put them in a funk, but it's still early, don't fret, theres still alot of season left......

brutal opening schedule... Jacksonville looks like a powerhouse in the AFC and my Bengals are playing exceptionally well right now. There is talk that the Central division is the toughest in the league with the Bengals, Steelers, and Ravens all playing well.
