ESPN's Chris Berman is fond of saying "nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills." Boomer often pulls that phrase out when his beloved Bills are facing some sort of adversity.
I don't think he's ever used that phrase in describing the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the franchise has certainly faced its share of obstacles over the last half decade-- the 6th seed in the playoffs in '05, a historically tough schedule in '08, and no Ben Roethlisberger for the first four games in '10--and has overcome them to the tune of three Super Bowl appearances and two World titles.
After four games, it may not be time to circle the wagons, but I thinks it's safe to say the Pittsburgh Steelers have been struggling a bit in the early portion of the 2011 season. They sit at 2-2, and that by itself isn't necessarily a problem. Sometimes, teams go 2-2. Hell, most teams, the Steelers included, will take a 2-2 start to the year most seasons.
However, there are various ways to get to 2-2, and the path that Pittsburgh has taken has left the fans a bit uneasy.
