What would playoffs or even a playoff win really do

Tomlin calling this game " The AFC North Championship Game"

Great...one more big game this fool can lose. Can we add it to his playoff " body of work?"

I actually think there's a very good chance the Steelers win the Rats game somehow, someway. It's a prime-time, home game with the heat on full blast and Mikey knows it. He's good at these types of games and somehow gets the players motivated to move like actual NFL players. I'm guessing (and hoping) they game-planned for this one too - TO WIN. Plus, it's the Rats because they have the ability to screw up a lot too. I also think Tomlin will give Rodgers a lot of latitude which will be the difference maker, and he should've done it all season long.

But, I don't see a SB. Mikey will get nervous and revert back to his own conservative, play calling **** we see all year should the Steelers advance to the playoffs, and then lose spectacularly..... unless maybe AAron gets in his hero's face, and I can see that happening with Rodgers personality.

I really think Rodgers at this point in his career might just tell Mikey to F OFF (he has the personality for it) on some of the asinine play calling we've seen in the past, and we might just win the AFCN and a playoff game. But, that comes with ramifications.

If that was going to happen what was that Cleveland mess of a game?

I think Aaron can change a play but not sure it goes past that..
 
This is likely Aaron's last NFL game if they lose. If he decides to run the last show himself and wins the division what will they do about it?
Replace him with Rudy?
I think not.

edit: I didn't read jiminoh's post, saying the same thing
 
I really think that Rodgers is going to say screw that and do his own thing.
Whatbwill they do replace him with Howard.?

Edit. Didn't comprehend Jiminohs and speedicuts posts basically saying what I thought about a gee minutes ago
 
I want a win short term to continue the season and ruin the Ravens season.

But long term a loss is better for the organization. Not just in terms of draft pick position, but in getting closer to real change.

I don't think a loss to the Ravens will change anything any more than a win will. The only way I see change happening is either a 2 to 4 win season for immediate change, or at least two successive losing seasons. And maybe a losing season sees a change in philosophy, even if there is no change in head coach, as the "no losing seasons" streak would no longer be a thing to be protected.
 
I want the Steelers to lose in a big embarrassing way at home on prime time. I am so sick and tired did media making excuses and patting Tomlin on the back. A non losing season is garbage and proves nothing.

This team needs a damn reboot! It is so hard watching every week only to see the same failed coaching. I have spent thousands and thousands going to games, staying in hotels, going to Northshore Tavern and drinking beer with some of the coolest people in the area since I graduated CMU and moved south.

But dammit enough is enough. Tomlin has failed to develop anyone or create a team that can win when it counts.

It shouldn't but hearing him say this irritated me because the Steelers used to aspire to play in the AFC Championship game. .500 or better is considered to be a success and an AFCN title is the pinnacle of achievement.
 
Anything short of getting to the AFCCG is just pissing in the wind.

There is almost no way he comes back. From the outside the team must have looked different to him, then he got inside the s***show and probably can't wait to run away...either that or it was about one more payday. He needed the 13 million because he has gone through a lot of ayahuasca and horse medicine.

The only way I see him coming back is if he is promised they will do everything they can to land big time wide out talent and he's given more control of the offense.

Watch out though Mr. Rodgers... if they agree...Tomlin will lie to you. Ask James Harrison.
