Thanks to everyone here, especially @bradshaw2ben obviously, for years of fun, arguing and entertainment.

Gonna miss all of you, even those I constantly fought with!!

Seriously thanks for everything.

RE: Highsmith...he missed 6 games due to injury, which I know is an issue as well, so his 9.5 sacks were in 11games, with snap counts averaging around 70%. Also, sacks aren't everything. This guy sets the fuckin edge. He may not be "elite" but he's goddamn good!! Besides QB & WR, what are the "obvi...

As negative/pessimistic as i am about how desirable the steeler hc job is at this point, Wow are we more attractive than the browns job. And buffalo should be a zillion times better than pittsburgh, but they are doing a hell of a job scaring people away. So…suddenly maybe we aren’t so bad? After kl...

As an old guy myself, I'm not going pound the table to "not" hire an older guy, i.e. McCarthy. In fact, I would welcome a staff of older been there done that guys if they still have the passion and aren't stuck in 20th century football. For one thing, this changes the focus from hiring for long ten...

Regarding McCarthy, why so much hate on him? Now I don’t want him to be the guy because I REALLY want the team to go with a young innovative offensive mind. But say he is the choice. Didn’t he have several top ranked offenses over the years? Why so much hate for him? Asking because I haven’t follow...

I agree completely They wouldn't of let the whole staff go if they wanted a repeat of last year. Im thinking McCarthy might be hired as a consultant, kind of like Parcells, for the young coaching staff that will be coming in. I think it's Shula with Scheelhaase as OC. I don't get this renunciation ...

After 15 years of mediocrity and disappointment, I'm willing to give anyone a chance. The coach won't be Tomlin, and regardless of the results that is PROGRESS. Mike McCarthy just had a losing record in Dallas, with better talent. At his age, McCarthy won’t have anything to do with any kind of rebu...

IC? You’re correct thanks Wasn't that about the disagreement of the drafting of Stenosis Jones in the 1st round? Good times... The Stenosis Jones thing with IC was just bizarre because he just kept emphasizing that Jarvis; “was a football player.” No shit? Sure, he’s a football player that just hap...

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/vikings-brian-flores-agree-to-contract-extension One step closer to McCarthy I will honestly be done if they hire McCarthy. I’ll walk away. Oh, I'm absolutely done as a Steelers fan if it's McCarthy and frankly, I'll be fine with that.

While Mendoza won the Heisman and put up very good numbers, and did what was necessary to pull out a win in a tough contest, people forget how good Rourke looked in that offense last season. I didn't see a number one overall pick watching that game last night. Miami’s front 7 hit Mendoza HARD about...

You dont think Rodgers would consider playing for McCarthy? The only possible way you'll see Rodgers on a football field again will be in a similar manner to what happened with Philip Rivers. A contender (obviously not the Steelers) loses a QB later in the season. Man the Texans would have been a g...

2. Keep Rodgers 1 more year Rodgers came to Pittsburgh for one reason. To play for Mike Tomlin. I think he's probably going to permanently retire, but even if he decides to play again, it won't be in Pittsburgh. You dont think Rodgers would consider playing for McCarthy? Not for one second and not ...

Rodgers came to Pittsburgh for one reason. To play for Mike Tomlin.

I think he's probably going to permanently retire, but even if he decides to play again, it won't be in Pittsburgh.

Nobody's trading for TJ with that contract.

They should have dealt him prior to this season.

He's unmovable now.

Mendoza is a gamer, but you do wonder if can get it done at the next level especially when faced with elite NFL pass rushes. Not his best night but Cignetti made some ballsy calls tonight. Kudos to him. Well, although Mendoza was under ridiculous pressure all night long (and endured a horrible miss...

Congrats to KC and Jeremy proud Hoosier Alumni!

One of the proudest sports moments in my life. Ever.

IU is no longer a basketball school.

That Mendoza’s pretty good.

Mike McDaniel another hot name around the bills job. He'd be a great hire for them as well.

McDaniel might be a great offensive mind (maybe) but he was not in the least bit respected inside that locker room and that really doesn’t surprise me.

how stupid would tomlin look by coming back and coaching any team? would prove that he got fired. prove that it wasn’t his choice. prove that he lied about ‘family’ time. prove that he lied to rooney. prove that he could only win with another teams great players and coaches. If Buffalo had to give ...

Going to be historic....

Exactly. Maybe even pull off a trade for TJ!!

The Bills next coach will be Brian Daboll is what im reading.

Daboll failed miserably in NYC.

That would be a shocker for him to follow McDermott.

Joe Brady wouldn't be great either but makes more sense than Daboll.

Shefter remains adamant that Tomlin's NOT coaching next year. I put this in the same category as an owner saying they are going to stick with there guy, then firing said guy 3 days later....I'm sure if the right job became available, then Tomlin would take it. Tomlin will not see a better job avail...

So now the thesis is that Tomlin got the most out of untalented teams. Even though he fails repeatedly to cover spreads in big games. Then explain losses to Girrard Bortles Tebow and Cleveland in playoffs. He repeatedly shit the bed and lost badly in the playoffs to mediocre teams and wasn't compet...

If the Bills hire Tomlin, it shows they weren't paying attention to the Steelers in the 2010s. He wasted to career of a guy who played like Josh Allen. Hire Tomlin and they guarantee Allen gets no rings. I 100% agree that Tomlin wasted the second half of Roethlisberger’s career but he also won a Su...

Rex Ryan saying Belichick

Several Bills fans want Tomlin but are concerned 1) about having to compensate the Steelers and 2) about Tomlin's alleged affair and baby out of wedlock.

Not sure why they give a fuck about the second part but I guess they do.

The idea of firing McDermott and hiring Tomlin is like firing Rodgers and signing Stroud, if Stroud played for 19 years like he did yesterday. Tomlin went to 2 Super Bowls with a QB a LOT like Josh Allen. Cool Shades has a Super Bowl ring. That can’t be denied. While Tomlin’s message grew stale in ...
