LOL Pittsburgh Steelers History

The Yinzers franchise has seen much success, but also much failure and drama, this is the list to salt the wounds

## From killer B level to below C level

The 2019 off-season would mark a new era for the Steelers, but not really in a good way.

* Le'Veon Bell, after pissing off all fantasy owners by missing the whole season, predictably ditched the Steelers for the Jets, but for some reason accepted less money.
* To simplify things, AB was traded to Oakland, you can check "The Antonio Brown Saga" for anything regarding him
* The Steelers would then sign Big Ben to a two year extension, as well as Tomlin.
* So with all these question marks, how would the 2019 campaign wind up? Well...
	+ The first game was against the Patriots in Foxboro, yes, the Steelers had to sit there and watch the Patriots flex that they now have the same amount of Lombardies as them. Following this, the Steelers got blown the fuck out.
	+ The second game though. Oh boy. That second game, **Big Ben suffered a season ending injury.** His replacement, Mason Rudolph, wouldn't fare any better in a loss against the Seahawks.
	+ Next week's game against the 49ers, the defense forced 5 turnovers, and they **still** lost!
	+ It's also worth noting that the Steelers would trade a first round pick to the Dolphins for Minkah Fitzpatrick, so no matter how bad they do, that pick is property of Miami.
	+ In week 5 against the Ravens, Rudolph would get knocked unconscious, so now the Steelers had to rely on third string QB and rookie Delvin "Duck" Hodges, he actually did better than Mason, but Tomlin confirmed Rudolph still had the job once he was cleared.
	+ Rudolph would start being serviceable once returning and bring them to 5-4, then along came week 11 against the Cleveland Browns.
		- Rudolph would ultimately shit the bed this game as the Browns would rip them apart. However, that is not what people would talk about, at the end of the game, Mason Rudolph would start a fight with Browns DE Myles Garrett and presumably attempt to take off his helmet. In a LOL Browns moment: Garrett would rip Mason's helmet off and swing it at his head. While that ended Myles' season, Mason got a big ass fine for starting the whole ordeal.
	+ Next weeks game against the winless Bungles, Mason would **still** struggle! Tomlin saw enough and he'd be benched for Duck, who would turn the game around and get Pittsburgh the win. Hodges was named the starter afterwards moving forward (smart move considering the upcoming game was against Cleveland).
	+ Sadly, Pittsburgh couldn't shape up their flaws and missed the playoffs, but without any drama the future was looking better. "was..."
* Once Big Ben was fully recovered, he opened up on his addiction to alcohol and porn, yeah Ben we all pretty much knew about that.
* The 2020 season started off like a Yinzer's dream, then with a snap of the fingers it all washed away.
	+ The Steelers amassed a 11 game winning streak to start the season off, however later wins were criticized by analysts as the team continued to play down to competition and narrowly escape defeat.
	+ Then Week 13 happened as the Steelers found themselves getting their first L from the Washington Football Team. Yep, The Name Redacted pulled it off.
	+ The Steelers would only win one of their last four, both the Bengals and Browns would get wins over them as Tree brought back Days of Our Steelers. The latter team would get into the playoffs (and another game against Pittsburgh) thanks to this win.
	+ During this, JuJu began to show signs of corruption from the Steelers, before boths the Bills and Bengals games he filmed a tik tok of dancing on their logos, the Steelers lost both games.
	+ So as stated earlier the Steelers had to face the Browns again on wild card weekened, JuJu (of course) would remark how the Browns are "the same Browns we face every season". There was also the added advantage for Pittsburgh that Cleveland was without HC Kevin Stefanksi due to COVID and the team hadn't had consecutive practices in weeks due to the pandemic.
		- **The Browns then proceeded to kick the shit out of them at home.** The last time the Browns won a playoff game was the old incarnation in 95, JuJu then publicly stated he had no regrets in saying what he said.
	+ To make the "Fuck You" to Pittsburgh even better this year, Tom Brady would win his seventh ring with the Buccaneers, officially having more titles than the Steelers franchise has. Oh and who would he have on his team that would get a ring with him? **Antonio fucking Brown.**
