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 hope so too of course, I'm ready to eat my plate of crow.

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..
 
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.

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.

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.

I could see Tomlin walking away rather than starting over with a new QB and guys like Heyward and Watt a year older. And if he does, I could see one or both of those guys hanging it up.

I can also seeing him stick around to try to prove everyone wrong. You know that crap means something to him when he's yelling like a moron after the Detroit game "that's why I'm confident Brooke Pryor".

Speaking of Andy Reid, Chiefs fans are ready to get rid of him. Eagles fans are giving Sirianni heat. No comments from the national media about the "spoiled fans" in these cities.

I was texting with my nephew who is an Eagles’ fan. He was disgusted with Sirianni and said he’d trade him straight up for Tomlin, I was always under the impression that my nephew was an intelligent person and knowledgeable fan. I didn’t know how to respond without hurting his feelings.
 
I was in a twitter or X or whatever the hell it is debate with Michael DeCourcy because he's a huge Tomlin homer, he actually questioned the Eagles dumping Reid even though they won two super bowls since then, he said they probably would've won more LOL.
I brought up Tomlin being only behind Marvin Lewis in the most seasons without a playoff win with the same team, his response, well Cincy is doing great since they got rid of him. As I've seen with most Tomlin backers, they're enamored with the non losing seasons, even above playoff wins, they're so scared of having a bad year.

Tomlin's best attribute is his worst as well. His floor is high and the way he mucks up games to win is enough to finish as a borderline playoff team in the AFC every year. However, they're always the worst team in the playoffs (usually in either conference) and this style of football prevents the team from ever advancing. I keep saying, whether the Steelers admit it or not, their goal has become to finish .500 or better, not to compete for championships. Heck, Tomlin is even hyping up the AFC North Championship game. Seriously?

All though your time stamps may differ, My thought preceded all of yours……………..

If you guys want to choke the chicken and pawn off these thoughts as originals…………..

It’s OK by me, continue on………… cheers……………

5 seconds in “SPIRIt WORLD” thought can constitute millennium of normal people’s thinking.
