Steelers/Eagles Game Thread. Too early?

I’m not hyper, I’m pissed. You enjoy wallowing around in mediocrity like you have for the last FIFTEEN years. And eat a conch dick. It’s good for you. Gives you strength.
There's absolutely no reason to be upset about the loss.

Now, if you're angry about the injuries - I get it.

About your dick eating...I don't ever need that kind of strength...
 
Some of you guys need to go outside and touch grass. The Steelers lost. BFD. They'll probably lose next week too. Hell, there's a real chance they lose the next 3. As disappointed as we all will be, life will go on.

I don't think Tomlin is a great coach, but I'll say this. You don't go 18 consecutive seasons without a losing season because you're football illiterate. The problem I have is that in spite of such a fantastic winning record, the guy only has playoff wins in 4 of those seasons with this season still to be decided, and the last playoff win was seven years ago. That gets any coach fired except, apparently, Mike Tomlin.

I think MT's biggest problem is that he knows what he knows and despite an ever-evolving game, he is going with what he knows. I feel like the game is passing him by a bit. He has the talent on this team to do a lot more than they've done, but he seems so risk averse that he kinda refuses to be great. He could start by ditching the Tampa 2 closely followed by throwing to the middle of the field more than a handful of plays a game.

I don't say Tomlin is a terrible coach - never have. He's good-not-great, and sometimes is less than good. Look at the record - he is not good enough to outcoach an elite opposing coach. Just look at what Belichick and Reid have done against him.

History shows that a good-not-great coach like Tomlin needs an overwhelming advantage in player talent to win playoff games. Let's call it the "Barry Switzer effect." Tomlin has a team that is 100% good enough to make a push for the SB but is not overwhelmingly elite. I think we know where how this season ends.

Truth. To be fair, must of us do what we know and work on the things we are good at. In weight training, we have to push to work on our weak areas since working the stronger areas is so much easier and more rewarding.

Tomlin's issue is that he fails to get coaches/coordinators who are good at what Tomlin lacks, and/or fails to let those guys do what they are good at. The next time a Tomlin team handles the short passing game will be the first. The next time a Steelers offense uses crossing patterns will be one of about 10x in the past 12 years.

In contrast to previous years where he achieved mediocre results with superb talent, at least this year he's achieving above average results with less talent. I guess I will have to call that improvement.

These changes will only happen under a new coach. So, maybe 5-10 years?
 
For as ****** as we played offensively, we had a chance to tie the game when we went with a wide toss, a play that had zero chance of going anywhere, and hadn't worked all game. Any of the few good runs we had were off tackle/ dive type runs.

The fact the offense couldn't sustain any type of drive didn't do the defense any favors, neither did single covering Brown, especially on third down.

To play THAT badly on offense, and still have a shot says we might be quite as bad as the sky is falling crowd thinks.

Would love to know how that game would have went with all the starters in. They clearly were the healthier team going in.
 
If we had our picks of any 11 hall of fame players in their prime, but called dumb plays, were tragically predictable, didn't use the whole field, never used play action, had no deception plays, no quick plays, no slant passes, no misdirection plays, we would lose.

Sound familiar?

Anyone want to guess what our first play will be next Sunday?
Toss play to Najee

Harris had 6 rushes for 14 yards and a fumble. I’d say very few good runs 🙂
Can’t get more mediocre than that.

The sky isn’t falling

People just are finally getting a little hope that we wake up and it’s no longer Groundhog’s Day.
We face a playoff caliber team, an actual SB contender, after the line of tomato cans we’ve been playing and the squad looks outclassed, the coaching looks over whelmed and a typical result to what folks see in the playoffs. It’ll take back to back BAL/KC wins for me to buy into this team going anywhere…what’s the chance of that happening?

The sky isn’t falling…it’s the same damn dark grey storm cloud that’s been circling this Tomlin led team for years and years and years…

This game was a bit or a legitimacy test, one where we achieved the usual result and failed to establish legitimacy as a SB contender.

So alas the sky isn’t falling, it isn’t even changing a bit. We simply wake up and realize it’s Groundhog’s Day yet again and the sun still hasn’t poked out from the storm cloud.

No worries tho as the Tomlinship is already polished and in the trophy case and a playoff berth has been locked up…so the standard has already been met! 🏆 We’re winners, the sky ain’t falling!

Mike Tomlin is Mike Tomlin. This is his team. Every DC after Lebeau has run this 2 down lineman Tampa 2 stuff. The offense has been the same since Ben’s last couple seasons. Different QB’s and OC’s but same offensive philosophy. Sure, Arthur Smith has put in a wrinkle or two, but it’s the same crap basically. Everything outside, little to no play action, hardly anything to the middle of the field, same red zone struggles.

I don’t know how you could possibly get him to change. The guy has never had a losing season or enough adversity to cause him to re-evaluate the things he does. It’s like his mentality is that “it’s good enough.” It’s weird. In a league where teams are constantly looking to innovate and improve it seems like the Steelers don’t. It’s like they are that guy on the interstate doing 5 under the speed limit in the left lane. It’s maddening sometimes.

Can’t get more mediocre than that.
Warren had 4 for 12, it wasn't just Najee. A defense like Philly, you have to run right at them. As soon as you start pulling, and running to the edge, you've lost the play. They are too fast.

Harris is good for about 3-4 dominant games a year that make ya think “this guy could be the real deal”

Unfortunately he’s also good for 12-13 games of absolute pedestrian mediocrity that make ya think “they spent a first on this guy?”

80% of the time his best ability is availability and ball security. When he lacks ball security it takes away half his good talent.

6 for 14 and a costly fumble would have to greatly improve to reach mediocre…that was just an absolute 💩 performance

But it is falling for those with the empty hope that we will win a playoff game after 7 excruciating years. The reality that Tomlin has somehow changed his ways and the team has some hope of advancing is gone like a fart in the wind.

I love how it's Najee's fault that the OL couldn't open up holes, and the playcalling wasn't any help either. Pssst Warren didn't fair much better. We're still waiting for our investment in the OL to pay off

The streak would have been Brocken.


Salute the nation

It’s been that way his entire career

He’s good for 3-4 games a year, celebrate it!!!
Woo hoo
Tomlinship caliber player for sure

I love how it’s the OL’s fault every game Najee has the lowest YPC of all three rostered backs, two sides to every coin
 
Practical Explanation ( For Example ) :- `1st of all can you tell me every single seconds detail from that time when you born ?? ( i need every seconds detail ?? that what- what you have thought and done on every single second )

can you tell me every single detail of your `1 cheapest Minute Or your whole hour, day, week, month, year or your whole life ??

if you are not able to tell me about this life then what proof do you have that you didn't forget your past ? and that you will not forget this present life in the future ?

that is Fact that Supreme Lord Krishna exists but we posses no such intelligence to understand him.
there is also next life. and i already proved you that no scientist, no politician, no so-called intelligent man in this world is able to understand this Truth. cuz they are imagining. and you cannot imagine what is god, who is god, what is after life etc.
_______
for example :Your father existed before your birth. you cannot say that before your birth your father don,t exists.

So you have to ask from mother, "Who is my father?" And if she says, "This gentleman is your father," then it is all right. It is easy.
Otherwise, if you makes research, "Who is my father?" go on searching for life; you'll never find your father.

( now maybe...maybe you will say that i will search my father from D.N.A, or i will prove it by photo's, or many other thing's which i will get from my mother and prove it that who is my Real father.{ So you have to believe the authority. who is that authority ? she is your mother. you cannot claim of any photo's, D.N.A or many other things without authority ( or ur mother ).

if you will show D.N.A, photo's, and many other proofs from other women then your mother. then what is use of those proofs ??} )

same you have to follow real authority. "Whatever You have spoken, I accept it," Then there is no difficulty. And You are accepted by Devala, Narada, Vyasa, and You are speaking Yourself, and later on, all the acaryas have accepted. Then I'll follow.
I'll have to follow great personalities. The same reason mother says, this gentleman is my father. That's all. Finish business. Where is the necessity of making research? All authorities accept Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You accept it; then your searching after God is finished.

Why should you waste your time?
_______
all that is you need is to hear from authority ( same like mother ). and i heard this truth from authority " Srila Prabhupada " he is my spiritual master.
im not talking these all things from my own.
___________

in this world no `1 can be Peace full. this is all along Fact.

cuz we all are suffering in this world 4 Problems which are Disease, Old age, Death, and Birth after Birth.

tell me are you really happy ?? you can,t be happy if you will ignore these 4 main problem. then still you will be Forced by Nature.
___________________

if you really want to be happy then follow these 6 Things which are No illicit s.ex, No g.ambling, No d.rugs ( No tea & coffee ), No meat-eating ( No onion & garlic's )

5th thing is whatever you eat `1st offer it to Supreme Lord Krishna. ( if you know it what is Guru parama-para then offer them food not direct Supreme Lord Krishna )

and 6th " Main Thing " is you have to Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare ".
_______________________________
If your not able to follow these 4 things no illicit s.ex, no g.ambling, no d.rugs, no meat-eating then don,t worry but chanting of this holy name ( Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra ) is very-very and very important.

Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare " and be happy.

if you still don,t believe on me then chant any other name for 5 Min's and chant this holy name for 5 Min's and you will see effect. i promise you it works And chanting at least 16 rounds ( each round of 108 beads ) of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra daily.
____________
Here is no Question of Holy Books quotes, Personal Experiences, Faith or Belief. i accept that Sometimes Faith is also Blind. Here is already Practical explanation which already proved that every`1 else in this world is nothing more then Busy Foolish and totally idiot.
_________________________
Source(s):
every `1 is already Blind in this world and if you will follow another Blind then you both will fall in hole. so try to follow that person who have Spiritual Eyes who can Guide you on Actual Right Path. ( my Authority & Guide is my Spiritual Master " Srila Prabhupada " )
_____________
if you want to see Actual Purpose of human life then see this link : ( triple w ( d . o . t ) asitis ( d . o . t ) c . o . m {Bookmark it })

( i promise only readers of this book that they { he/she } will get every single answer which they want to know about why im in this material world, who im, what will happen after this life, what is best thing which will make Human Life Perfect, and what is perfection of Human Life. ) purpose of human life is not to live like animal cuz every`1 at present time doing 4 thing which are sleeping, eating, s.ex & fear. purpose of human life is to become freed from Birth after birth, Old Age, Disease, and Death.
