Welcome to the terrible take a daily segment telling Steelers nation what's on our mind. I'm Alex Kazora

0:08.0

The Steelers made a heck of a run to get to the post season that should be commended the team rallying and surging late in the year.

0:15.3

But this is the bus stop they've made many times before just get to the playoffs. We know they can do that.

0:22.2

The question is can they win a game? That's the barrier

0:26.0

Pittsburgh's hat for seven years. The valid frustration that comes with Mike Tomlin, what the
