The Steelers trip to Miami could not have been more of a disaster if it had been scripted by Michael Bay. Apparently the temperature at field-level was in triple-digits which led to a number of players leaving the game with cramping and dehydration issues. The temperature of Steelers Nation on twitter was even hotter as it completely melted down over 3 hours.
Coming into the game, the Dolphins were the 6th most penalized team in the league. With Ed Hochuli’s crew officiating the game, the result was predictable.

#Steelers lost 25 yards or so on the kickoff because officials mistake

Hochuli's crew is making this unwatchable. And the @NFL wonders why it is losing viewers

Hey, a bright spot!

With an offense like Pittsburgh, you should always go for 2. Because math.

It didn’t last long, though.
Not sure why you have Jesse James blocking Cameron Wake with no help there. Sort of a predictable end result.

When your name becomes a verb, it’s not usually a good thing.
The Steelers are officially Tomlining – playing down to the level of maybe the worst team in the NFL.

Then, disaster.
Ben to the locker room. Walking with limp.

🎶 hello darkness, my old friend 🎶
🎶 it's Landry Jones at QB again 🎶— Mike Darnay (@MikeDarnay) October 16, 2016
In all honesty there's not much difference between Road Ben Roethlisberger the last two years and Landry Jones.
Boom!
— Adam Gretz (@AGretz) October 16, 2016
Okay, Landry Jones at QB, we can just give it to Le’Veon Bell every play, right?
3rd and 1 with Landry Jones at QB and Haley decides to throw the ball down the field. What? #Steelers
— Josh Rowntree (@JRown32) October 16, 2016
Are you kidding me? Play-action passing on 3rd and 1 with Landry Jones?
— Curt Popejoy (@CurtPopejoySW) October 16, 2016
Haley cant call the game as if ben is playing when its Landry Jones under center … got to adjust the play calling simple as that

None of them would’ve called a pass on 3rd and 1 though.

Refs breaking up celebrations. Like chaperones at the prom breaking up couples who "slow dance too close."

#steelers playing down to and below inferior opponents is textbook Tomlin era. At least 97% of #SteelersNation saw this coming

This #Steelers defense is missing Heyward like nothing other
— Steelers Wire (@TheSteelersWire) October 16, 2016
Dolphins had one interception in their first five games. None since Week One.
Two day. Ugly. #Steelers

Going to tell my grandkids about the time I sat on a couch for 3 hours and watched the Steelers lose to the Dolphins
— Steve Braband (@stevebraband) October 16, 2016
Ben looked like crap before his "injury" … Not getting any better. Having one of his 2-3x/yr crap games. They have nothing to do w/injury.
— Chris Mack (@THEChrisMack) October 16, 2016
Yinzer radicalism and stupidity should be at DEFCON 1 during the postgame call-in shows. #Steelers

No football player better ever again tell me the trap game doesn't exist. It exists and I am witnessing it.

Six days ago this happened. Today the Steelers are getting destroyed by the horrid Dolphins. pic.twitter.com/d2DMaZyPFJ

There was a glimmer of hope at the end…
The entire AFC North is currently losing at the moment.
— Ryan Recker (@RyanRecker) October 16, 2016
Beautiful touchdown by Cobi Hamilton. Probably too late, but beautiful. That's a 10-play, 97-yard drive by the Steelers.
— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) October 16, 2016
…but not really.

Good news is that the Steelers can bounce back from this loss with the – oh c'mon the Patriots next week!?
— Josh Rowntree (@JRown32) October 16, 2016
Is this the week the #Steelers finally start doing tackling drills? I really fucking hope so. Between line play & tackling they sucked today
— Ben Anderson (@BenAnderson58) October 16, 2016
And a week of the local media denying that Tomlin lays eggs against inferior opponents consistently begins
