Really as long as JR is the owner we won't be successful...

The whole atmosphere at BOA is so ridiculous, it's laughable. We are the laughing stock of the NFL. It's a family friendly atmosphere where people are shushed for getting too loud. I mean wtf? It's this type of bs that just echoes through out the entire fanbase and franchise and it all leads to JR.

Thank you, you GET IT. Look, JR got us an NFL team and that's great. But that does not protect him from criticism when you've had four winning seasons in 17 years. Yes, he's old and sweet and does stuff in the community. Yes he had a heart issue. Big deal. This franchise has no soul, no aggression, and an average at best GM. May as well change the name from BOA Stadium to Sunday School Stadium.

And you're right, it echoes through everything. We need a younger owner who thrives to win at any cost (just not a dimwit like in DC) and a GM who takes chances and isn't a stubborn mule. Cam can't win them all, nor can the few stars on D. This team is above average. We need to be elite. We've never been elite and it's depressing.

So, JR... it's time. Take your little blanket and hand it over to someone who doesn't go to bed at 8 PM.

It's very interesting to me how Fox always had the same stone face that Rivera has, but if you watch Fox in Denver, he's the most animated guy on the sidelines. It tells me that our coaches don't respect Richardson and there is no pressure on them to perform.

I sure as hell won't support them at the stadium or buy any other gear when they embarass themselves week after week. As long as people whine about their performance but give them a vote of confidence with dollars, JR never gets the message that this is unacceptable.

If a product sucks, you don't buy it. How else will we teach JR that this program gets an F? That $250 jersey I wanted, yeah I'll hold off. That money I would be spending at the stadium; I'll save it.

KK, you show better discretion than myself when it comes to not posting out of emotion, but our passion is the same.

I agree completely. But, I wouldn't put it all on Hurney like that, and I'd stay with the JR angle.

Regardless of whether Hurney was here or not, it would be another puppet, and every coach will be a guy that JR approves of from the coordinator pool with a defensive background... Because we want to be the Steelers but we're actually the Browns.

JR wasn't on the field tonight. Pass

WTF are you talking about tonight for? Im talking about years here. Ever since our mere existence. Tonight was just a huge sign of where our problem lies. Some saw it sooner. This season was one of our most anticipated season's, if not the most, in franchise history. Now look at us. It all comes from JR. Everything comes from here. How empty the stands are. How our stadium gets taken over by opposing fans. How our team settles for mediocrity year after year. How the same poo happens year after year after making promises of change. If you don't see where the problem is, you're blind. This game just embodied our whole existence.

Seriously? You thought we were a superbowl team or? Playoffs?

None of those. So I don't see how it was the most anticipated season. I can name 2004 and 2009 as more anticipated than this.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
