I'll take the Steelers or Bengals, I'd rather the Texans over the Ravens. Those guys could turn it on any minute. Lamar is getting heathier, and a healthy Lamar and Henry is big trouble for us.

This is true, but Tomlin, as you have stated, has gone stale. This happens all the time in the NHL, and I think it's happening in NFL locker rooms more where guys just tune-out a HC. Interestingly, Rodgers said that practice was "poor" the week leading up to the Bills game. Whose job is that, the HC. interesting mention with the Eagles. They fired a SB winning coach, then won another SB. With the Steelers (perhaps Bills) mindset, Pederson would still be coaching the Eagles. Actually, Reid would still be coaching (but would he have won there?). This is totally bonkers. Who wanted Pickett. Answer: Tomlin. Who wanted Rodgers: Tomlin. Who loves the overpaid vets on D. Answer again: Tomlin. Who won only 1 SB with Big Ben in his prime with a stud team: answer again.....Tomlin. Tomlin demands total control, which is rediculous. The Steelers need a total reset (Tomlin likely does as well).

If we lose Ingram and Slay just retires that's a hit. Hopefully Slay is saying he wants to play for Philly or Det, and we can get a 5th or something for him and Ingram back. I wonder if Philly grabs Ingram now to see if we trade straight up.

just crazy. They need many other things than Andrews at TE. Likely I'd keep over Andrews. But good for a rival to do this!

nothing wrong with that. Would be odd if no one was. The debate is fun. As you point out, none of us really control it, we may as well have fun debating it between ourselves! On another point, I'm not really sure who Terry could hire outside a few lazy wack jobs (Rex) that would make this team worse. And when Rex was hired, the true extent of his nuttiness (and laziness) was not yet known. this is demonstrably untrue. See Pittsburgh Steelers with Tomlin. One SB win with Big Ben, largely based on Cower's teams, no SBs in over 10+ years. We don't have that time in Allen's prime. See Chargers with Rivers. See Denver with Elway prior to coaching change. Calling those you disagree with "whiners" is also unhelpful. The through process here is that some coaches are better at certain things than others. Need a culture reset and a solid foundation to get to playoffs, Tomlin and McD all day. Need to win a Championship, someone else. I'm also not sure who you think we could hire that could make a team led by Allen and Cook (and no other blue chip talent on O) worse. We'd likely have a better roster, better in-game management. The worst I see it getting is the same (early playoff exit), but at least the exit would be different.

Tomlin is totally stale. He won 1 SB with Big Ben, AB, and L. Bell, along with a great defense. That does not scream "elite" and "untouchable". Only the doofy Rooney's would continue to employ him and treat him like Lombardi or something. Heck, even Bill Bellicheck was shown the door after winning 6 SBs. Tomlin needs to go. And yeah, you can fire a guy like him, and you should. Why can't you. That's what Tomlin and Harbaugh (and perhaps McD) are best at. Culture reset pros. Nothing wrong with that. These guys rarely get the max when they have talented rosters, but they setup a system that another coach could come in and build off of. Wonder what happened of the rumors regarding Brady (OC) to PSU? Perhaps he is one of the next options? If so, and McDaniel got canned, he'd be a good OC here. It's funny. Tomlin has done a lot (or all) of the draft selections, and Pittsburgh's roster is really bad now.

We had KC beat basically 2 times. We failed because, well, McD. This notion that fans wanting a new coach also have to come up with the coaches' name is a total fallacy. That's the GM and owners job (the GM is also a failure here)...but if you want names, Kubiak and Shula are good ones. McD has demonstrated an inability to win in the playoffs and choke at inopportune times, while scapegoating others. Hoping he figures it out because he's a good regular season coach (questionable this year) and finally wins a SB if he misses this year (when KC is likely out of the playoffs) is just that, hope. I'd rather "hope" on another coach . At least the losses would be different. Could McD eventually win, sure, but he's had enough of JAs prime. Time to try another route. Most logical minds that are not living in afear of a new coach would agree.

a run-first team is fine. The issue is that when we need to pass (or even want to) there is likely no WR open. We need a downfield threat to complement the run.

nope. if we can't win our way into the playoffs at this point, we might as well miss the playoffs and clean house. We are in control, let's do it.

waannnnnnnnnnna wannnnnnnnnna the QB whurt me.

Sports radio here in Pittsburgh was making fun of Hayward this morning. Basically, laughing at a DL complaining that a QB roughed him up. On another note, Hayward is a giant loudmouth and not a great player. Dude is on the sideline on 3rd downs, etc. both are likely. Hayward also claims Allen did "it", whatever "it" is to get Hayward off of him. But I see nothing here. Also, Hayward is in a commercial where he calls football, "nasty and physical" and then cries about the nothing that happened here. Dude is a total blowhard.

so he’s a fit here!

he looked great, I think he did last week also. But man, he's made of glass. I'd still be in for a LB in the 1st-2nd. Caveat: the Steelers offense is a total joke besides Rodgers who is likely questioning why he came to the Steelers. (so are their coaches, FO and owners). Like they didn't start throwing to Washington till the end of the game against our smaller LBs. Steelers were also missing a OT and Guard. Can Bernard be moved to backup safety? We look much better with Thompson and others there.

Bean has the chance to rescue the prime of JA and Jefferson. Do it!! (clarify: get Jeferson, don't trade Allen).

man I hope this rumor is true, because otherwise, wanting a 2026 over a 2027 first is just rediculous given the 2027 class is widely regarded as better. still won't fix the WR room, however.
