Cowboys eliminated tonight.

My internet isn't working. Can anyone tell me how George Pickens did?

Fun fact: The Steelers are the only team that celebrates the Super Bowl in week 18 of the regular season. They are a non-championship observing team under Mike Tomlin.

Never Had A Losing Season is like Kwanzaa. For football.

Mike Tomlin is like the visionary Maulana Ron Karenga.

While watching the other games today, it really became clear just how far behind the Steelers are.

From a coaching and personnel perspective
Welcome to the world many of us have been in for the last7 years.
Ive wanted Tomlin gone since 2009- for all of the reasons that still exist.


The only thing that has changed since that period, is his offense has gone backwards


The other shitty schematic designs and general strategic planning have existed since the beginning

Under coach Mike Tomlin, the Pittsburgh Steelers have an impressive all-time 21-3 overall record on Monday Night Football (MNF). This includes an undefeated 11-0 record in home MNF games, a streak that the team will try to extend in their upcoming game.

Tomlin has the second-highest winning percentage on Monday Night Football among all head coaches, trailing only the legendary John Madden.
The Steelers have not lost a home MNF game since October 14, 1991, a franchise streak that spans both the Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin eras.

The Steelers are scheduled to play on Monday, December 15, 2025, against the Miami Dolphins at Acrisure Stadium, where they will attempt to extend their perfect home MNF record under Tomlin.
People penciling tonight in for a L are going to be disappointed. Not sure how he does it, but Tomlin gets his team juiced for home MNF games.
Now if he'd take that same exact approach to Sunday 1pm games, he wouldn't be such a fuckhead in my eyes

They aren't eliminated yet.

They are 2.5 back of the Eagles with three to play.

Ravens beat the Bengals, where Burrow appeared to be completely checked out, and now catch a break because the Packers lost Micah Parsons for the season.

And the Bills showed the Pats can be had.

The Norf will come down to the final game at Accurisure.

Book it.

You're probably right, Jeems... and ravens benefit from the bad luck of others. First, there was no teeHiggins yesterday, and there will be no Mika Parsons on the Saturday night game of week 17.

Still, though, I'm going to maintain hope that the Steelers win tonight, likely losing Detroit next week, and ravens drop both games to pats and Packers, which would put the Steelers in position to clinch the norf with a win in Cleveland on December 28

Well that wasn't the case last week at all. Rats got screwed out of a TD and dropped 2 others by their own volition.

There is nothing that can rival the giant NHALS horseshoe deep in Tomlin's ass.

It's a mostly mediocre league set-up for parity. That's all NHALS is. Tomlin maybe isn't even an average coach, and a decade of playoff humiliation proves that.

If Tomlin had a mandate to win playoff games and he tried to actually build a contender, he'd end up winning only 5 or 6 games.

Yes, they were unlucky last week… Got a break with the injury report yesterday and will begin going forward on December 27

Have no fear, Texas B&G will be along any minute to tell us about Jibba’s stellar record on Monday Night Football and how we are lucky to “be in the hunt” more often than not.
Actually you are correct. Tomlin is very good on MNF.

Btw, when was last time the Steelers were eliminated from the playoff picture with 3 or 4 games left in the season? Or even 2 games? Come to think of it, I can't remember a game that didn't have any meaning. Lots of teams are just going through the motions right now.

I'm glad the Steelers are still very much in the picture.

Here We Go Steelers
What you don’t realize is that they really aren’t “in the picture” and that’s the problem.

Participation trophies don’t count for most folks. Especially around here.

Making the playoffs in a watered down league of mediocrity doesn’t mean you are a legitimate contender.

And I’ll see your “when was the last time we were eliminated with 3-4 games still to play” and raise you when was the last time we didn’t get blown off the field in the wildcard round? When was the last time we won a playoff game? When was the last time we weren’t a pathetic traffic cone for the legit teams to run over?

Maybe Tomlin can embrace the Constanza "opposite" episode by not running on first down so much and not wasting time outs.

BTW the turtle to win philosophy once again proven wrong by two thrilling HS state title games in FL and LA.
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

Or maybe dumb haters just won't accept or understand what's being told them over and over.

It's a looong-ass off season, particularly if not so into draft shit, so one would like to see their team extend its season as long as possible, knowing full well that that's not indicative of some great accomplishment.

Get it now? Finally?

Or, we understand it perfectly as you’ve stated that repeatedly.

Some of us prefer meaningful change vs one extra week of football.

Yippee fucking skippy. I get to watch one more week of football.

Have you enjoyed our last several playoff games?

When Cleveland of all teams, without a large portion of their coaches staff throttled our asses 28-0 in the 1st quarter were you sitting there with a smile on your face and pizza grease on the mustache thinking how great it is to be watching your team one extra week?

What about when KC beat us by 21 the following year? Did you celebrate that extra game?

How bout when Buffalo put 3 TDs on the board before we realized we were in a playoff game that we eventually lost by 14? Sure glad we got that extra game in.

I’m sure you especially loved our bitter rival Ravens shutting us out entirely in the first half on their way to pounding out 299 rushing yards on our sorry asses. I can only imagine how awful your offseason would have been without that one.

All those “one extra game” that you so desperately need has only served to prolong Jibba’s tenure here.

But you keep cheering for that one extra game.

Me, I’m waiting for a new coach that might actually be able to scheme & gameplan like modern NFL coaches do. Till then, anything that puts egg on Jibba’s face is good by me.

Also, it’s super funny you think we just don’t “get it”.

We get it and have come to the conclusion that our participation trophy playoff appearance isn’t worth a damn.

Hey, maybe you’ll get lucky this year and get to watch a competitive playoff game for a change. You know, one we aren’t down over 20 by the time we squeeze out our first FG.

Funny thing is you assume that those playoff appearances have prolonged Tomlin's tenure. You state things as fact where you actually dont have a fuckin clue. One could argue that Art II might have been more apt to jettison Tomlin in the wake of the playoff debacles that you've cited.

As for me, I like the anticipation of a playoff game, enjoyed the brief lead over KC...and yes, in spite of the outcomes, still glad that there was a playoff game. So yeah, you either don't, or refuse to get it.

1) I absolutely know Art II would be less apt to jettison Jibba after a playoff appearance. Why? Because he’s said so himself. He’s on record stating that playoffs are a crap shoot once you get there.

2) I like the anticipation of a playoff game too. At least I used to before realizing how woeful our HC is at scheme & strategy.

3) I fully get it. Unless you have reading comprehension (pretty much proven that you do) it’s you that doesn’t get it.

Playoff appearances prolong Jibba’s tenure. You guys thinking a playoff loss is worse than not making it at all are delusional. Dunce doesn’t think like that and has literally told us so.

Now I’m not saying he’s going to be happy with a blow-out loss. But he sure as shit would rather be there than not. Kind of like you.

But for him that playoff game brings comfort as it allows him to maintain mediocrity. Welp shucks. A bounce here and a bounce there we might have advanced. Oh well, we didn’t have a losing season and we made the playoffs. Mission accomplished.
