Ben Roethlisberger doesn't like what he sees about the state of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"Maybe the tradition of the Pittsburgh Steelers is done," the former quarterback said on his podcast.

Roethlisberger was reacting to the team's 21-18 loss to the New England Patriots last week. He didn't like the way that game ended either, calling out Mike Tomlin. Trying to rally late, Pittsburgh didn't have its full complement of timeouts, having had to use some earlier to get organized.

"You can't afford in the second half of games to burn silly timeouts and to not have them late in the game," he said. "To me, that's bad coaching."

He added: "There's some feel you have to have in those situations because timeouts can be so valuable, as we saw in this game. If we have one more timeout there, we get a completion, we can work the middle of the field and all you got to do is give Boz [Chris Boswell] a 60-yard chance. Give him a chance and he'll tie the game. I like my chances in overtime because they scored all their points early and the momentum had shifted."
