I remember in free agency when Leveon said he wanted to play for a championship. A week later he signed with the Jets. Him turning down a $70 million contract from the Steelers only to sign with the Jets for $50 is absolutely hilarious. I can’t even pretend to feel bad when greed backfires on someone. It was poetic justice for us Steelers fans to see him wind up with a terrible team for a lot less money and see his production take a huge decline. It’s the worst decision I’ve seen a free agent make in a long time

The magic of the Killer B's died the night the Jesse James touchdown was reversed in that December 2017 game against the Pats. I knew the second that game ended that the Steelers had missed their chance of having the number one seed. They certainly (stupidly) overlooked the Jags in the 45-42 game, but I still think it gutted their hearts when they lost in the way they did to the Pats.

No sorry he was always a total douchabag. The Steelers will always draft rapist and people that need to be committed for public safety but they don't care as long as they get wins. Pickett is the first great pick that I can actually commend them for. I'm sure they're trying to create a different locker environment with a truly good dude instead of a group of nast things.

As much as people say the drama is what killed us, injuries was also a factor. In 2015 we lost bell,brown, and Ben at some point in the season, bell’s being a season ending injury. Both he and AB were out against the Broncos in the DR in a game they only lost by 7. If we win that we take on the pats fora chance at the SB. Same in 2017 when our Def gave up 38 points to BLAINE FUCKING BORTLES in a 45-42 loss. We win that game we play NE and that was prob the worst pat def they had in their 3 ring window. Don’t forget we should’ve beaten them in the reg season which would’ve given us home field throughout the playoffs as well.

Been a Steelers fan since 1975, the biggest mistake was that led to the down fall of this trio was giving Brown a big contract which ultimately created a monster afterwords for the raiders, Patriots & Bucs afterwords with his on & off the field soap opera antics I will admit this trio was good together but not good enough to reach & win a Superbowl together? Ben struggled to stay healthy & Bell wanted too much money when he was injured on & off and not consistently trying to stay healthy Only Ben has 2 Superbowls to his name & The only reason Brown has a ring is because of having a QB like Tom Brady at the helm otherwise brown would be outside looking in the he & bell are currently doing!

If the Steelers get an amazing second string receiver... they could have a formula very similar to the Killer B's. Russell Wilson/Fields with George Pickens, Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren. Just need that secondary receiver to be amazing and boom... Pickens will be very difficult to defend and you can't always double team him because of the secondary receiver. Then Najee and Warren is such a combo that it is very similar to Bell. Warren with his shiftiness and hands, and Harris with his power to blow over players. It is possible but without a second stringer... The defense can double Pickens and stack the line to stop our run game.
