Game Balls, Game Goats & FU's...........Wildcard Round.............vs Texans.....

[slashsteel]

I’ve watched the Texans defense do this to teams all year living here in Houston.
The 27th ranked offense was simply no match for the #1 ranked defense.
If CJ hadn’t tried to give the game away this could have been much worse.
I kept hearing that the Texans offense wouldn’t be able to do much but they have unsung players like Kirk and Schultz who came up
big with Nico Collin’s going down.
The running game which without Joe Mixon was pretty pedestrian but last night Woody Marks came through.
The Steelers backed in to the playoffs because of a missed FG as time expired and won a crappy division.
The Steelers last night have now gone nine seasons without a playoff victory.
They suffered the worst home playoff loss in team history.
Mike Tomlin is Marvin Lewis 2.0.
Please Rooney do the fan base a huge favor and move on from Tomlin.
Bring in a young, innovative head coach who can rebuild this roster and weed out the aging veterans.
It’s time now Art!

It is passed time but yeah. There was enough talent on this team to have performed better than what they did.

I strongly believe the coaches, scheme, in game adjustments and X and O ability sucks.

I didn’t even notice that? I was so pissed off. They put Rudolph in?

Yes, Rodgers last play (probably the last of his career) was the pick 6.

I have a work-friend who lives in Pittsburgh.
I eagerly await her homeschool history lesson for her children.
"Yes, hard as it is to believe, the Steelers were once a playoff caliber team. In fact, they are tied for the most fairly won SB in the entire NFL."

"But the Patrio..."

"Jimmy, what have I told you about referencing that group of people? I'm sorry. You've flunked history and you will have to repeat every single grade."

"The Steelers were never REALLY good were they?"

"I don't blame you for finding that hard to believe. The last oh 19 years have really been difficult for Steeler fans."

"How do you mean?"

" You know how Daddy sometimes screams and yells at the TV and throws things at it? And then he drinks until he can't say anything except words that you can't understand or don't make sense?

Well, a long time ago Daddy used to yell with happiness and he used to jump and dance around the room. And he didn't used to fight police officers, or beat up telephone poles. Why some folks said Daddy was the nicest guy they ever met."

"Daddy became an alcoholic because of the Steelers?"

"Oh, no. No sweetie. Daddy became an alcoholic because of Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin is an eeevil wizard. He put a spell on the town and then he stole people's hearts. Just tore them right out of their body.

And then he used all that heart and dedication and devotion to write completely meaningless magazine fodder. Younger children, magazine fodder is BS you say to the newspaper people to make you sound smart or like you know what you're doing.

And every single day people just like Daddy got more and more upset, until one day they just snapped And they began to cheer for, I can barely say it children. It's so horrible! The Eagles.

And as horrible as that was, it was still better than refusing to give up on the amazing idea that the Steelers would once more be an actual professional football team. Because those people, just like your daddy, can't help but fight large inanimate objects."

"I want my daddy back! Give him back. I hate you Mike Tomlin. You killed my daddy. Ffdggfieve uf in ehx jejhevd!"

"Okay Betty Sue. It's okay. Why don't you go join your daddy in the soft room and you can help him beat up the walls. It's okay, I understand honey. You go get those mean old walls with Daddy."
