Pro level talent may be the lowest in the NFL. The average age of a starter may be 35+. Picking at 21 is brutal.

Actually a few 3-14 seasons may be exactly what this team needs to be reborn into playoff relevance. Mediocre Mike needs to tip his cap into the sunset and save his cliches for the TV studio.

They will have the same script for next year, get the mark rubes all excited and angry at his detractors, make it to WC, the fail even more pathetically.

Then the mark rubes will scatter and within a week completely forget what just happened.

They back on a few things, stupidity, arrogance, decreasing short-term and long-term memory. Human nature, in a collective, if you will.

And next year will be just as funny and entertaining for everyone. It was exciting this year, and hilarious.

I'd take a 3 win season over this shit. We're literally giving up prime draft picks for the opportunity to get smoked in the Wild Card round of the playoffs every year.

The same line has been repeated here for the past several years. Yet they have won 10 games two years in a row.

They will never be a three win team under tomlin. He wants to win at any costs. I mean as soon as they had any injuries or issues they attacked it with vets like adam thelin , or dugger etc. Some of you guys have been saying they will be terrible for several years. Not going to happen with Tomlin, He won't rebuild. There was no reason to make that trade for Ramsey but again he will just keep putting old vets on the team.
OF course some of you said when ben is done I am done. That has not happened lol.

Yeah I don’t get the premise.

I very much like the premise.

But don’t see the logic of it.

Sign me up for a 3 loss season, but why would keeping Tomlin after 19 seasons all of a sudden result in such a collapse?

NHALS is a tried and true formula of success (19 long years of it).

Perhaps the opposite premise would hold true.

I think it's much more plausible that if they clean house you WILL see a 3 loss type of season.

Sooo Tomlin is gone (YAY)

The cynic in all of us believes that literally anyone is an upgrade over Tomlin just so he’s finally gone.

I get that and a part of me feels the same way.

But part of me really worries who the barely lucid, mope that is Art Rooney will name as successor.

Assuming he doesn’t even whiff, the new coach has A LOT of holes NOT to PATCH but to find viable, long term solutions through the draft.

To (finally) do this right, the next Steelers coach will have to take some lumps, kinda like Noll did while he was waiting for Bradshaw to develop and his young talent on defense to mold into the best of in the history of football.

Ahhhh a 3 loss season

If only, if only

YOU SUCK, Tomlin!

If anyone thinks that this is a 3 win team IF Tomlin is back is either all up in their feelings or hasn’t been paying attention to the last 5 years.

NHALS is a REAL thing. It exists because of Tomlin. If you don’t think it is, IF Tomlin is back next year, I will gladly bet anyone on this esteemed site whatever they want that somehow, some way, the team will win 9 games. I will use my winnings from this year and roll it back…. 8-)

MY GOD what more evidence do you need after the last decade of this stupid shit??? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

NHALS is the irresistible force AND the immovable object. It is the Alpha and the Omega. It has survived a global pandemic,, proxy world wars, drones circling our country, Monkey Pox, famine, genocide ,insurrections ( ;) ) mostly peaceful protests ( ;) ) AND outlived Epstein :shock:

This will only end when HE is ready for it to end. NHALS is HIM :lol: :lol: :lol:

A new coach is just as likely to win a couple playoff games with this roster as they are to go 3-14.

Tomlin runs simple schemes and plays not to lose. You can't really judge the talent of the team in that context.
