Heyward done for 2016...

As if it could get ANY worse:

It did.

Next up for further heartache and misery?

Taking an L against the Browns on the road.

Will that be enough for the Rooney's to move on from Tomlin/Butler? We'll see.

This season has been unreal. If nothing else it's been consistent for miserable news going all the way back to Bryant and Bell before the season even began.

Obviously.

Yep

I feel bad for Heyward, who has been fighting injuries starting with the ankle in preseason

Since this season already was not going far I am not as disappointed for the team as I would be if they had a legitimate shot at a Super Bowl and had now lost their best defensive player

well shit, might as well play for draft picks at this point

Butler yes - Tomlin not this season

This from Ed B. of the P-G in his chat today

They could lose the rest of their games and I do not believe Tomlin would be fired this year....

Some assistants are always on the hot seat. Just look at the track record. If they could push Bruce Arians out and Dick LeBeau, then no one is safe.

Offense needs to put up some serious TD's the next 7 games before its lights out.
Control the clock boys...

I have a different thought,since Cam is gone we can no longer play safe, hoping Cam will hold his end of the line along with Tuitt. Now, this team must be very aggressive!! Blitz, bring pressure from everwhere. Starting this week against the Browns, build confidence in these younger players... and craps sake PLAY JUSTIN GILBERT. We need to see what this kid has or doesn't have

Heyward is arguably the Steelers best defensive player. A big loss for sure. Next man up, or is there any depth on the waiver wire??

Spent the 2015 season with the Saints.

It just keeps getting better. Can Hargrave play DE? Hargrave,Tuitt,McCullers. 3/4 with Dupree and Harrison on the outside. I'd like to see Justin Gilbert get a shot against his old team.

Maybe Big Dan McCullers    will raise his level of play.  

Sucks that it's Heyward, easily our best defensive player, and I'd have Tuitt a close second. I don't like our prospects without the leader of the defense on the field. Guys are really going to have to step it up.

That is a good one.

Maybe Jarvis Jones will start sacking the QB and Sharknado 29 will become the starting SS too.

Cam Thomas is coming back to play safety.

I feel as if we should, "unleash hell" if you will... obviously...
