I will fully admit to not hating Tomlin. I want him to succeed. I think he can even if I also think he can infuriate me at times. I like the idea of not changing coaches. I like the legendary feel of only having 3 coaches in my life so far. I also will buck the trend and say I think Tomlin to a degree has made us think the players are better than they really are and gets more out of them than most would. The lack of production by most players who leave certainly is at least circumstantial evidence to that effect. But then I am a almost always the glass half full optimist. I will not claim he is perfect though, far from it.

I don't hate him either. I just feel he handcuffs the ultimate want. He doesn't do it alone though you can throw Colbert in there with him. I think the team like all teams eventually need is a fresh look.
 
Who was the guy just on with Bob ? He looks a little like our Bill.

They tried to fix a problem in house. Then tried to fix a Oline with a C conversion, a rookie LT, a G coming off injury. The worst parts of the puzzle has been the off-season decision making.

I hear you but still, just tell them to block the man in front of them. They have sucked all year so what they are doing isn't working. You'd figure they would just dumb it down. They did that in years past and it worked.

They missed on a lot of high draft picks the last ten years too. How much of that is on Colbert and how much is on Tomlin, I don't know.
Injuries to Spence and Shazier are just bad luck but there were a lot of first to third round picks who were dogshit.

We play the ravens and the Browns… we need tge ravens to lose 2 and the Browns to lose one…if the bengals lose today and we win out they cant catch us… if the ravens lose one of the next 3 and we win out , wed beat them the last week so we would finish ahead of them
If we win out we also beat the Browns, so we bypass them… so basically us winning out plus another loss by the Ravens and Bengals gives us the division

One can wish....one can only wish.....but hey. Three games left to get that magical non-losing season. I personally hope Tomlin gets there. And still pray he is gone sooner rather than later. As I stated many times. Tomlin's shelf life has expired here. It would benefit both him and the Steelers if they went their own way. Ask Andy and the Eagles how it could work out. So my fingers are crossed. Hoping. Praying. For that day to come. 😀

So first off the Steelers playoff hopes really are only reasonable if they win out. They play @KC next week, which is easily the hardest game left, then face the Browns at home, and finishing up on the road against the Ravens.

The Browns don’t play the raiders until tomorrow, but win or lose the steelers still control their own destiny against both the Ravens and Browns because at worse they will be a half game behind them both to start next week and face each in the final three games… Both play reasonable hard end of season schedules, but honestly us winning out makes that irrelevant.

In fact it might make sense to root for each against the Bengals, who finish the season with the same schedule we have (Ravens, KC, and @Browns) we need the Bengals to drop one of these games for us to have a crack at the division. 1 Bengals loss and us winning out = a division title.



The wild card is about equal … we need to win out and need a loss from one of the three teams currently in the wild card positions.

The Bills have a tough game next week, against the Pats in cheaterland. But finish at home against a fairly bad Atlanta team and an even worse Jets squad…

The Colts Have a rough matchup at the Cardinals next week, but then get a home game vs the meh Raiders and finish with a road game against the Urban Meyerless Jagoffs

The Chargers play @the Texans, home vs ten Broncos, and finish at the Raiders. None of those seem that difficult.

Now all of this is reasonable, assuming that we can find a way to beat KC at their house next week, a very difficult chore… then not blow the Browns game and not give the Ratbirds a split like we love to do… any loss probably ends our chances

A loss keeps everyone ahead of us in place and potentially lets way too many teams leapfrog us with no time to catch up.



Win out and we’d have to have 4 teams win all of their last three games to miss out… but lose and the chances drop to insignificant numbers

Who would have thought Tomlin would have us talking about playoff scenarios this late in the season. Crazy.
