Thursday Night

[lifelongsteel]

Steelers pulling out the color rush to get things going, which got me to think of the top Steelers momentum building gimmicks that may or may not work:
- Terrible towels - only works when disrespected by some jagoff opponent, usually a drugged up WR
- Renegade - I think the D does better without it, but it is fun!
- Color Rush uniforms - why not?
- Ping Pong Probation - inverse impact
- Unleashing of Hell - 0.0
- Coordinator moving places from field to booth or vice versa - one hit wonder

What am I missing?

Does everyone dancing to the Pittsburgh Polka count?

[bradshaw2ben]

The best outcome on TNF:

*Mitch looks notably better than Kenny has this season, further accentuating how bad KP really is.

*Rookies/young players ball out.

*We still end up losing due to some sort of incompetence from Tomlin that's too obvious to ignore.

Here's a preview of the podcast: The Patriots need one of those top 3 picks, either to select one of the big 3 QBs or to trade out for a king's ransom. The only games standing in their way that they have any chance of winning: Pittsburgh & the Jets. They might be able to afford to win one of thsoe two... but you just can't count on losing to the Jets without literally laying down on the field. They got to go through the motions and lose TNF if at all possible in order to get one of those three premium picks.

I'm looking forward to TNF and a bounce back game.

The Steelers may have a lot of issues to overcome but I'm not giving up on them.

I hope Mitch has a good game and nobody else gets injured.

Steelers win 20 to 10.

If this team had a slightly above average coaching staff, the game would be over by halftime. This game will be a nail bitter, and am actually expecting a loss. Sick of watching the same shit for the last 17 years.

Good list

I wish he’d take away the ping pong tables on this short week to send a message. That coupled with the Color Rush unis PLUS unleashing hell in December would probably result in a Steeler asskicking of the Pats 13-10.

And here you go….

Yuuuuuuuuge game

The high flying Patriots offense comes to town led by the two-headed QB combo of Bailey Zappe and Mac Jones.

They’re coming off an impressive performance against the Chargers that saw them score a Blutarsky on offense and accumulate an amazing 257 total yards, 13 first downs and 109 yards passing.

If we couldn’t contain the prolific attack of the Cardinals, we’ll be hard pressed to contain this scary Patriots offense.

Incredibly we are still the 5th seed in the AFC playoff standings. That in itself is mind boggling, yet a win Thursday against a talented, genius-led Patriots team would further cement our place as the 5th seed through 13 glorious games.

Many of you are probably excited about the possibility of punching a ticket to the dance. Many of the same people will proclaim “you never know what’ll happen if we get in.”

That’s where you lose me, no pun intended. I know what’ll happen. Anyone who can take off their rose colored Homer glasses for just a few seconds can see what'll happen. Another fucking embarrassing and painful to watch playoff loss.

To expect anything different you are either a Tomlin supporter, incredibly naive, or just plain fucking stupid.

Do I want them to win Thursday? Of course I do. Do I expect a win? Ha. Nope. #becauseTomlin

This team is so stupid, so undisciplined, so lost, that they have no business being an AFC playoff team. They don’t. They just suck. And suck bad.

Mason Cole should be booed off the field if that fucking dunce HC continues to allow this jerkoff to snap the ball at the feet of our QBs in shotgun.

Our special teams “ace” was a complete fucking idiot last week. Killebrew is an example of how poorly prepared and coached this team is….

We have a dipshit WR celebrating a TD down 21 to the fucking 2-10 Cardinals. How embarrassing. Such a bad look, but a look I’ve grown accustomed to because our Coach is a fucking absolute dope.

The defense allowed a shitty Cardinals team to go 99 goddamn yards for the go ahead TD following the pathetic 4th and goal failure.

I fucking seriously hate this team. It’s not fun to watch them. Ever. Crazy me but I kinda thought the Cardinals game would be an entertaining win, not an asskicking but a good solid win where we as fans enjoyed most of it. WRONG

In closing, I can’t wait for this POS season to be over. Only thing that’s happened that I’ve truly enjoyed is:

Beating the Ravens

Firing Canada

And watch Tomlin further solidify his standing as a “game day dumb fuck.”

Rah Rah. Go Team Go!

Jizz

This is unbelievably racist.

I'm one of the more bleeding-heart members of this board. Please tell me what in his diatribe is racist. Where does he mention race or attribute anything to the color of Tomlin's skin?

He calls out players as idiots and scrubs... calls the head coach clueless and an idiot... but nothing in there that I see is blaming it in his heritage, skin color or genes.

Yo when that podcast dropping? Need some copium.

[RemoAZ]

I didn't think they'd fire Canada. They did because the outrage by many, including former Steelers was deafening. That same outrage is starting to turn on Tomlin. Piling up more losses will not only help our draft position, it will make the earth rumble under the Rooney's feet. I hate hoping they lose but without even being able to root to see Kenny improve, there's nothing left for me. Mitch is what he is and what he is isn't pushing this team to contending for shit.

The irresistible force vs. the immovable object.

I have to think we win for the reasons you stated above. They're in total tank mode for Williams or Maye. Meanwhile, the Steelers are on their annual march to 9 wins and like the 18th pick in the draft.

[Orangesteel]

Thursday we get Tank Commander vs. NHALS to the WHALS.-

What a match up.

I’m ready for the Mitch Trubisky story arch to be complete. In all honesty I’m pretty confident the next 5 games are Mitch’s last chance to see NFL action. Maybe a CFL stint or he goes off into coaching, but legitimately his lost shot to catch the attention of someone to show that he still has something to offer even as a backup.

With what he makes now? He’s likely to be cut and who is dumb enough to dump the money into him that we have?

He’s got a host of issues but I will say our offensive line is playing better than they were when Mitch was at his worst.

He’s more athletic than Kenny which is mind blowing to me.

He doesn’t need to light the world on fire like Purdy or Browning, he just needs to be smart and push the ball downfield.

Who knows? I’m grasping here fellas.

All I know is the All 22 is coming out on Kenny’s first half against the Cardinals and it looks miserable (AGAIN).

Let’s see it Mitch! Get us to the post season and maybe you earn a deal somewhere else.

He throws a lot of picks but...he usually gets the ball out on time to usually the right read.

And he does go through progressions.

When he screws up it's usually his mechanics that are bad.

He will have at least one throwing-off- his-back-foot pick that’s either 5 yards short or sent into double coverage.

[drmalba]

For me, it's simple. I don't necessarily "expect" a particular playoff result, but I'd sure as FUCK rather see my team participating in the tournament than staying the fuck home and our being treated to watching teams that we don't give a fuck about.

Seconded, thirded, fourth-ed, fifth-ed.

The outside noise is exactly what got that trigger pulled. I said to my wife I was so excited to see peoplenpiling on the orgization/Rooneys, maybe 1 arricle I read blaming Mediocre Mike, I knew Canada was done and still thought it would be after the season. I hoped they can him midseason but leaned towards after the season.

The more and kore people start chirping anout Tomlin and his failings is the ONLY way to even start making Mikes seat warm.

I love it! Expose Fraudlin!
