Why ask Why

I must say Saturday’s game left me uninspired to write about my beloved Steelers. I found myself asking more questions and wondering why? There are several issues the coaching staff has yet to answer. So I’ll throw these questions out to other Steelers fans and see if you’ll bring some clarity to the “Why ask Why’s”



Why do they continue to play Dixon with the 2^nd string? We’ll never get to see what he can/ can’t do against a 1^st string defense. They want us to think he’s not ready, but won’t let us see for ourselves. Then again, we could use his performance against the Ravens last year as a guide, but without having something to compare last year to can we really gauge if he’s ready? Last I checked Dixon was leading the team in passing yards, averaging 105 yards per game. Why isn’t Dixon ready, Tebow, Sanchez, and Colt are all ready; what are we not doing to get him ready? What if something happened to Ben tomorrow… Out of the 3 QBs that play in Saturday’s game, Dixon had the highest completion percentage. One thing that you can count on with Dixon; he matriculates the offense and gets them moving down field.

Why is the offensive line still leaking (like a broken faucet) after 2 seasons of terrible blocking? With a offensive line that is unpredictable, why would we have a QB that’s like a statue and unable to get out of the way?

Why are we continuing to bring back older players without taking advantage of the young talent we’ve drafted? For example, Flozell Adams and Antwaan Randel-El or on the field, but where are Markice Pouncey, Kraig Urbik, and Ziggy Hood? The League is getting younger and our team is getting older…

Why does Bruce Arians continue to sabotage the offense, with his play calling? After last season’s red zone rating, we continue to settle for field goals in the red zone.











And lastly, WHY is Bruce Arians still the Offensive Coordinator?

I could go on forever wondering why our Steelers are being lead this way. It is because I love my Steelers, that I ask such questions. They challenge my patience at times, and I’m challenging their decisions. That’s my Steeltown version of tough love. We need another Superbowl, and with all these questions looming, it appears we have some work to do, to reach our goal. I will settle for nothing less than perfection. Fellow fans, what do you think are the answers to get us were we need to be, in order to get another championship under our belts?
