The Pittsburgh Steelers are searching for answers after losing their last game to the Cleveland Browns by a score of 13-6. The stout performances that defined the team within the past three weeks did not materialize against the Browns, with a high powered offense being slowed considerably by the Browns stout defense. The Steelers' defense, however, was able to accomplish part of their goals that they set out to accomplish, not making things easy for the Browns' offense at all. However, they still couldn't win the game, leaving the Week 18 showdown with the Baltimore Ravens to serve as the ultimate winner-take-all showdown for the AFC North and a playoff berth.

After the loss, many people took to social media, only to find that Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen had reposted a post about the definition of insanity involving doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. 

Many people were confused as to what Queen's repost was about, whether it could have been about the last sequence of offensive play-calling, or if it could have been related to the defensive scheming from previous weeks. While no one knows the truth about why Queen reposted what he did, there are some who have some better ideas on what he may have meant by the repost.

Former Steelers linebacker James Harrison had a few things to say about this on the latest episode of the Deebo & Joe podcast. During a moment in the show where they debated what Queen's repost was about, Harrison said something that gives some insight into what might really be going on.

"But, he's talking on something that he can't really speak on," Harrison said. "But he wants to be known, but he can't say nothing out about it, it's going to look like snitching, hating, all that other stuff. But yo, he frustrated. You putting me in horrible positions. I can't do what I need to do. Other people can't do what they need to do if that may be the case. And we're not put in positions to win."

Harrison's comments seem to reveal that Queen is infuriated with something that pertains to the defensive play-calling. This wouldn't be the first time that someone has expressed frustration with this in the past, and in many cases throughout the year, this frustration has absolutely been warranted.

Against the Browns, the defensive play-calling had improved. However, it still was not enough to secure the win for the Steelers, as the AFC North slipped from their grasp after this loss. The fact that the Steelers lost in and of itself could be another reason as to why Queen reposted what he did, expressing overall displeasure at losing, but Harrison's remark seems to imply that whatever the issue is, that it's an issue that he isn't able to openly speak on. 

The Steelers are going to need to do a much better job of communicating with their star players if they want to fix the issue that may be simmering, because the Houston Texans are going to be a tough opponent on Monday Night Football.
