Pretty over it.

If only Chargers Thanos could snap his finger and disappear half of the playoff teams in his path.

I thought the same thing. Thinking this guy has to walk through the stadium and to his car dressed like that after his team just got embarrassed.

This is a solid explanation and perfect reason why it’s time to move on from Tomlin.

Yea. It's nice to make the playoffs, and it sucks to be a bad team, but I'd take a few years of being a bad team if it means we have a chance of foing anything at all down the line. Knowing exactly how each season's gonna go isn't fun either.

The problem is once they become a “bad team” there is no guarantee that they are gonna pull themselves out of it after a few years. There was a time when The Cowboys, Bears, Commanders, 49ers, Giants etc… were really good too and now they are not.

Who are the teams that have the championship standard? The Chiefs? They have Mahomes. The Patriots? They haven’t show the ability to be competitive since the break up of Brady and Belichick. The Packers? They’ve only won 2 championships in the past 30 years too.

It’s tough to win super bowls but the teams with the most opportunities are usually the most successful.

Maybe the Steelers next coach would push them over the top, they’ve been incredibly lucky in that regard in the past but the biggest factor in the Steelers success of the past 30 years under Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin was Ben Roethlisberger and until they figured out the QB I don’t think it’s gonna matter who the HC is.

At least with the Packers, most those years weren't all for nothing. They had teams that could have won it all, and lost so many NFC championships and playoff games that were actually competitive.

For sure and that’s why the Packers fans are fomenting for the head of Matt LeFleur. If the pieces fall right next season and the Steelers win a couple Playoff games then all of this will be forgotten.

Eh, coaching is fine here in my opinion. LaFleur is better at adapting then most of the old head coaches. He'll learn from his bone headed time management mistakes and wanna be Dan Campbell 4th down decisions that Internet fans get all in an uproar about. They are all doing well with this young roster. It's not a super bowl team yet, but also, who knows. If they get past the Eagles, anything could happen.

If we spend a few years being bad, maybe we can get some decent picks and build a solid team tho. It's a trade off. Right now it justs seems like they're stuck in limbo.

Refs already on their bullshit 7 seconds into Eagles/Packers

The grass is always greener, right? The talk on Chicago Sports radio Friday afternoon was that most of the fandom would happily give up The Bears next two first round picks for the opportunity to land Tomlin.

Also, it’s funny seeing Kyle Brandt, who I enjoy; backing the Steelers and Tomlin parting ways knowing that Brandt is a meatball of a Chicago Bears fan and likely knows if Tomlin were to get traded anywhere it would likely be his Bears.

I am still pretty confident in Caleb as a QB and the biggest thing the Bears are missing is stable coaching so if the Steelers want a top 10 pick and a change at head coach most Bears fans would be thrilled to accommodate em.

These Green Bay receivers are dropping like flies.

Brandon Jacobs is a beast!

What’s to say? The Bills did what they were supposed to do. If they win vs. the Ravens next week people will be talking.

That Commies - Bucs game was a lot of fun. It was a bit surprising that it felt like a Washington home game, I assumed there were more Tampa fans than that. It definitely won’t be that way next week in Detroit.

Only game yesterday that was interesting enough to watch without throwing on some tunes and turning the game volume down.

The clown show marches on. I'm sure Jerry will take a swing at some other retread like Gruden.

I’m just bummed because this clown will likely end up with the Bears. Retread bullshit because the Bears whole philosophy is to do exactly the opposite of what they just did. Flus was a new Defensive HC so now we go with the retread Offensive HC.

Even though the biggest issue with Eberflus was game management and the one of the biggest knocks against McCarthy is game management.
