Did anyone mention the Defense?

Did you just laugh at your own joke after having to explain your own joke?
I think you did

I laughed at the decision to explain a silly joke. Plus if you noticed I revised it.
Much better now!

You fielded a hilarious joke regarding Justin. Well done!

Fact is that Tomlin has been simply mediocre the last decade. Hopefully we can take the next step forward as a team.. obviously under his leadership. Fingers crossed .

He’s ours for the next few years so as a fan you can root for him and hope he overcomes past deficiencies en route to a playoff win streak…

Or bash him non stop for every damn problem the team has had/will have and be a miserable *******…seems pointless but maybe some really enjoy misery.

The former seems a tad more enjoyable imo

I’m hoping for baby steps in his
progression just like I am for Feilds and Jones and all the others wearing B&G

I’m not saying he doesn’t have flaws by any means but dwelling in the positives seems healthier

Well....I will praise Tomlin when I think he deserves it and ....as you put it "bash" him when I think he deserves it. So far I have been giving him praise.

This D is special. Also it is deep. Great talent behind our starters so I'm not worried if we lose Watt or Highsmith with Herbig coming on. Adams at NT, Loudermilk, Leal, Payton, Robinson, Dirty red, Holcomb, Trice, Pierre, KZ, Edmunds, and we get back Sutton in 5 games. Backups are making plays and this D has been built from the ground up to be a top D in this league. Something people don't like to give credit to Tomlin and Khan for building and developing.

I'd be very worried if the Steelers lost TJ Watt. Their record without him speaks for itself.

“I’m not worried if they lose _____”

Can’t even fully quote what is the 2nd most offensive thing I’ve read on this board in years

7 words that should never be uttered

Now I know ya high

No one wants to lose an all world MVP/DPOY candidate on any team, but the talent behind him is much better than when we lost him for half the season, and only Highsmith could get pressure from the OLBs.

Another thing to add is that we signed Wilson to be the starter and brought in Fields Justin case Wilson faltered

I would be extremely worried if the Steelers lost Watt for any amount of time. Herbig's talent or not, that would be a significant loss that is impossible to make up.

He has deserved his playoff critical discussions.

I think now more than ever he needs to let his coordinators coordinate. And fine tune their strengths and vere away from whatever doesn’t work for them.

He can be more hands on with players he feels needs coached up.

The season will present with plenty of challenges. So he and the team will have some Ls obviously. Hopefully not blowouts and ones they learn on to improve.

I will measure Tomlin not on the season but on how well he positions the team for the playoffs and what they do if and when they get there.

Exactly, couldn’t t agree more

Imo 12-5/ 0-1 would just be a sadder version of groundhog’s day as the expectations on groundhog’s day are less with 9-8/10-7 teams that need help in week 17 to squeak in.

Just gonna enjoy this ride for a minute and hope like hell it’s finally Christmas vacation instead of GHD this year
