"For all of you who want to fire Tomlin, who would you replace him with?" We will hear this every single year for the next 10 years.
Nick Saban. Only person strong enough in the dark side to overcome Belichek."For all of you who want to fire Tomlin, who would you replace him with?" We will hear this every single year for the next 10 years.
I didn't really want someone to give me a name. I don't feel like having a name after tonight.
Cowher. I always loved that guy."For all of you who want to fire Tomlin, who would you replace him with?" We will hear this every single year for the next 10 years.
Whoa! Pats or not - that did not look like a Super Bowl team. They have a lot of work to do.
You guys shift like the wind. I’ve seen it every year for the last decade. It’s still the same talent assembled that everyone was coo’ing over preseason week 3. They play the Patriots like this what seems like every season.
This is absolutely true, especially given how little time starters play in preseason now.
Belichick said that a long time ago and it stuck with me.
Shifting like the wind? You watched that game and came away thinking they might be better than every other team in the AFC? The Pats could legit go undefeated this year. Their defense has become a juggernaut. But the Steelers continually show that they can rarely adjust. With this coaching staff, they’re not going to beat the cream of the crop in the AFC.
Wait, wait, wait... you guys watched Cleveland and Cincy yesterday right? There are no conclusions to be drawn from this weekend. Everyone in this thread said the season was over week 1 last year. Yes, this team has a Super Bowl caliber roster. 3/4’s of the league is figuring out what they are at this point. This team has a franchise QB, a stud OLine and a stud DLine.... they’ll be fine. That’s a recipe to win a division year in, year out. There are going to be bad games and hiccups. They walked into NE last night trying to get the #### out of NE as quickly as possible. Was it ####ty? Ya, obviously.
Well I was wrong. We embarrassed ourselves. The Steelers played like dog sh**. Our offense had maybe 3 decent drives. One sputtered because we ran the same running play 3 times in a row, another ended with a field goal when we were down by 3 touchdowns, so we were still down by 3 scores with not much time left.
This. It’s ####ty to watch as a fan but they wanted no part of the Pats last night. Horrible game plan, Ben played like he has on the road his whole career and Tomlin acted like a timid #####. Home opener next weekend. Dial me up if they roll over to Seattle.
I prefer a safe 1 yard pass on 3rd and 10 then trying to go for 10 yards on a 3rd and 1 play. Seriously all I heard was how great our line is and yet we have to be fancy for one or two yards.
Like groundhog day, we all say & hear these exact things over and over again year after year after year. How does the front office continue to let this go on?
I hope you’re right man. I think there are a lot of question marks still and those were fully exposed by a great team. Ben is a franchise QB but he’s getting up there in age and how much does he have left physically and mentally (by this I mean is his heart in it)? They should have great lines but question marks everywhere else on defense. I love Conner and think he will be fine but no clue about this receiving core. Montcreif was a monumental bust last night and what other talent do they have outside of Juju? We don’t even know if Boswell still has the yips. On to Seattle where I think we will have a pretty good sense of who this team is. No consolation prizes - they better win that game.
The Pats for sure. They are and have been in a class by themselves for decades.
Its one team and 31 others trying to pretend they have a shot. They dont. Barring AB being kryptonite to Superman Tom, or massive injuries, Pats arent losing when it really counts, January/February. Steelers were 2nd place in the AFC to Patriots, not now. But they can still win the division, its not exactly murderers row.
This should not be discounted. The Patriots pretty much made his replacement their kitty, when he wasn't running the wrong way in coverage.*
as a Pats fan, I was dumbfounded by this as well. Doesn't PIT have elite middle O-line?
Game plan and execution sucked last night but to be fair the Steelers have played the Pats tough at home the past 2 years.
Yes, but James Washington looked the part. Time to give him a chance. Especially if it turns out JuJu has the dreaded.
2 long deep balls would have been TDs if Washington wasn't overthrown by a yard or two. Still hopeful this connection firms up, but it seems like Ben and James still aren't on the same page.
Right now for the 2020 draft the Steelers have their #1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and Jacksonville's 5th.
Yep. Whole week of bad decisions. Why did we need a 6th wr last night? Why did we care if we lost him to the raiders?moondog said:
Maybe. Last year he looked good in preseason but crapped the bed when he played in the Oakland game for 1+ quarters. He was mainly meh this preseason and was clearly out played by Rudolph. I am not saying he'll never be a good NFL QB but he was buried in the depth chart and barring major injuries was never going to take another snap in a meaningful game for the Steelers.
Yeah I didn't get the logic in activating Holton and exposing Skipper to the WW.
They likely will get a decent compensatory pick for Bell, correct?moondog said:
