U mad, bro?: Angry Steelers fans blame everything from coach to weather to 'Renegade'
I don’t even need to ask. I know you’re mad, bro. The Pittsburgh Steelers have now lost 11 of their last 17 games.
It’s their record.
It’s their effort.
It’s their coaching.
It’s their roster construction.
It’s the franchise’s lack of urgency.
It’s the feeling that things are only going to get worse.
After a 26-7 loss to Buffalo when the Steelers were outscored, outgained and outworked, fans left cold, angry and questioning if the organization had truly hit rock bottom.
Then they got out of Acrisure Stadium, looked at PNC Park and remembered, “No, it can get much worse.”
And “U mad, bro” will be here for you then as well. Let’s get it all out in this week’s edition.
Let’s start with Allen’s thoughts after the Steelers lost to the Bills.
This team is cooked.

It is. Yet every time I watch the Steelers, I feel like I’ve come down with food poisoning.
Michael tapped into a new level of creativity to make excuses for the Steelers.
We're still tied for first place. The cold weather saps some energy out of you.

Nah. Sorry, Michael. I could tell they were going to be mediocre back in August too.
JT sent a message after the Steelers signed Adam Thielen.
I'm sure we will wait until week 18 to play him while he learns our complex playbook

Why rush? Just get him ready for the playof … never mind.
This person is reacting to Ben Roethlisberger’s suggestion that Mike Tomlin would be a good fit as Penn State’s head coach.
@TimBenzPGH PLEASE...NO Tomlin to PSU. I've already had to sit through mostly mediocrity (cant win the big games) the last 10+ years. I dont want to continue to watch it.

Eh, Tomlin might win the occasional big game at Beaver Stadium. The problem is, get ready for a road loss at a school like Rutgers or Purdue once or twice a year.
Tom has a thought on “Renegade” being booed.
”Renegade is now The Great Pittsburgh Pierogi Race.”
Sauerkraut Saul was more likely to be tackled than James Cook was, I can assure you of that.
Keith was unhappy with the Steelers’ effort on Sunday.
This team visibly quit yesterday
— Keith Huebner (@KeithHuebner1) December 1, 2025
Agreed, Keith. But it was only visible to those who bothered to stay in the stadium and watch.
Based on the number of empty seats I noticed before the end of the third quarter, that wasn’t the case for many of the fans.
Finally, on Saturday, the Robert Morris hockey team hosted its annual “Teddy Bear Toss” game that benefits the Light of Life Rescue Mission.
THE BEARS ARE FLYING!????

David asked me a question about it.
is this like the WKRP Turkey Drop?
— David D????????nan (@TheeDavidDoonan) November 30, 2025
David, as God as my witness, I thought teddy bears could fly.
