Just came here to post that

Un

Fucking

Real

[SteelerDayTrader]

FUCK !!!

Steelers 2019 = Best offensive player and QB done for the season AND best defensive player having a career year done for the season before week 7. Add in starting SS out from week 3 onward til ?? AND several other significant injuries throughout the roster. Damn tough year injury wise.

[COR-TEN]

Maybe it's what this team needs.

A swift kick in the ass. Get the coaches to actually work with what they have, as opposed to waiting for what they have to succeed.

The've been bitten by the injury bug in a way I can't remember. Sans the 90's when I didn't watch much football.

So the old tomlin cliche is in effect.

Next man up.

But it is true, yes? Adversity makes players stronger and coaches smarter - and fans more critical.

[Orangesteel]

His career will be just a giant injury report. Dude is a monster but his body ain’t built for this shit.

[Jizz Mop]

Alualu is 32

No spring chicken

Can Buggs play some 3/4 end?

[JJT07]

Any free agents out there worth looking at?

[Rod & Wire Mill]

Fornicate Under Consent of King

[rooneytunes]

God Damnit. He was fucking going off.

Fuck injuries. Why doesn't this shit ever happen to Baltimore, New England, etc...... its always some fucking bullshit out for the year shit

[Stosh-67]

Sucks.
Tuit has been a load and a half.
Wrecking ball.

[SixTrophies]

Guy's been a beast this year (6 games) but between his injuries and his sub-par play last year is he worth the mega-bucks the Steelers pay him?

The 6-foot-6, 303-pound Tuitt has started all six games this season and has 3.5 sacks.

Tuitt still has three more seasons on his contract with the Steelers. Next year his cap hit will be $14.9 million.

[JJT07]

Muhammed Wilkerson worth looking at?

[Stosh-67]

Alualu has been a solid backup.
Criticized a bit too much around here.
At $2.1 million salary, probably a bargain for your 4th defensive lineman.
That salary jumps to $3.6 in 2020 at age 33...
With a $875k dead cap hit.

Lets see what Buggs brings.
Who on practice squad may get a call up?

[rooneytunes]

Maybe all the 1st rounders can make up for his loss. Lol

[Stosh-67]

Henry Mondeaux the only DL on practice squad?

[fractalsteel]

I love Tuitt but the injuries are now a concern going forward. When they said he was hurt and speculation was he might be out for the year it reminded me the Steelers need to invest a premium pick on the position especially if Gravedigger moves on next year.

This next man up shit is getting old.

Early on Alualu filled in well but he seemed to wear down as the game went on. I not sold on him being a starter for the next 10 games.

[shellwagnerblount]

His career will be just a giant injury report. Dude is a monster but his body ain’t built for this shit.

He's having the type of arm injuries that plagued Aaron Smith late in his career. Terrific year ended. I think Heyward is on the downside and we may lose Hargrave this offseason. Sounds like a priority in the draft. Ben's injury was a presager of things to come, I guess.

[Steelafan77]

Buggs gets activated on game days and promote Henry Mondeaux

[Steeldrama]

Buggs is actually a pretty decent pass rusher
Play Alualu and even McCullers on run downs

Tuitts injury the final blow for me.
I threw my hands up in utter disgust
I’ve been a diehard fan of this team since the 70s
I can’t remember ever having a worse vibe about my beloved Steelers than I do right now

[Steelers4Life]

DLine moves to the top of the draft wish list next year.

[meanjustinbarlow]

Fuck the NFL. This hurts worse than Ben going down.

His subpar play last year was due to injuries as well. this is a nut kick.

[stillthere]

DLine moves to the top of the draft wish list next year.

Or pay some coin to J-Wobble.

[Steelafan77]

Like I said, Buggs gameday active, promote Mondeaux and call up Sheehy and put him on the Practice Squad. This is the Steelers way.

[SteelWIll]

or pick a D-lineman from the Bengles Practice Squad and return them the favor...

[Steelafan77]

Winston Craig is also available. Was in camp/preseason and has experience in the NFL and AAF. Was solid contributor in the preseason.

[steelheadtrout]

L.T. Walton to the rescue!

[SixTrophies]

A second-round pick in 2014, Tuitt has only played 16 games once in his six NFL seasons.

He missed two games in 2015, 2016 and 2018, and he missed four games in 2017.

This is the first time an injury has ended his season. He played through elbow injuries in each of the past two seasons. He hyper-extended his elbow early in the 2017 season, an injury that bothered him all season. He suffered another hyper-extended elbow in the middle of last season as well.

Tuitt is the Steelers’ highest-paid defensive player and has three years remaining on a five-year, $60 million contract that he signed in 2017.

L.T. Walton to the rescue!
