The Mason Rudolph Steelers at the Still Complaining about SB XL Officiating

[Sir Lambert]

First win in 40 years at Seattle.

After SB40, the next 2 Steelers Seahawks games were shutout wins by Pittsburgh. Were both of those games in Pittsburgh somehow? I thought interconference games alternated home fields.

[Orangesteel]

Oh sweet NHALS… it will be a good week indeed.

We’ve had our battles. I’ll toast to you my friend. Let’s enjoy this one.

Congratulations to coach for adding to his NHALS legacy, but season still a big pile of turds without a PO win, or improvement from your hand picked 1st round QB. You need to move on buddy.

I will be watching from a Vegas sports book next Sunday for the third time this season. Thus far 0-2. (Opening day, and 2nd stains game), maybe I can break the trend to start out 2024.

Pickett should never play another snap for this franchise.

[Texas Steel]

Offense is fun, right?

Offense is fuckin' amazing.

Steelers inept on O for most of the season - get rid of Canada

Steelers inept to mediocre on O - KP8 hurt, get rid of Tribbin - put in Rudolph

Steelers now have an effective O to pickup the hurt/subpar D.

NHALS will live in infamy

IDK. I'm just repeating what Charlie Batch was saying the other day.

Tomlin should be let go for refusing to move on from Mitch fast enough.

Instead, he's going to be celebrated and probably extended because he extended his NHALS streak.

They haven't been going alternately between Seattle and Pittsburgh.

I believe the last time we played there was 2014 and I think the final score was 38-33 Seattle or something like that.

I just looked at this the other day and I'm going off memory. I will try and look it up later.

Can you fucking imagine believing Mitch Trubisky was a better QB than Rudolph or....I don't know, a better QB than ANYFUCKINGBODY?

Trubisky literally ruined this season all by himself if they don't get in.

I get what you’re saying, but Trubisky started two fucking games, before he was benched. Let’s not act like he started half the season.
Now if you want to bitch about staying with little Kenny too long…

When is the NHALS trophy presentation?

As soon as Jerry Jones is available to emcee the ceremony!

Dude......Trubisky entered a tied game at the Arizona 1 yard line.

The Steelers don't score, AZ goes 99 yards and then Mitch does what he always does.....HE TURNS IT OVER leaving AZ a short field, where they got another TD immediately.

Trubisky was directly responsible for 3 losses. Just him.

Yes, I looked it up too. It doesn't just depend on where the 2 teams played 4 years ago. They have other factors to determine the site. Maybe where each team finished in their division last year or something.

Mason never played this well in his career, but he showed flashes and could really move the team.

Mason struggled (a little like Kenny) in finishing drives. Now Mason takes his time, goes through his progressions and is dropping dimes.

Trubisky simply has no NFL QB instincts. None.

I hope watching Mason helps Kenny understand he has to stay in the pocket and go through his progressions. Kenny learned absolutely nothing from watching Mitch play, except how to throw the perfect INT.

[jeemie]

The only real mistake I saw Mason Rudolph make tonight was throwing the ball away on 3rd and goal when we got our last field goal.

The best thing to do there if you can't find anybody open is to take the sack. Because then at least the clock keeps moving. And the end of the game is slightly less stressful.

I’m sure Mitch had a lot to do with Najee being stuffed.

The problem is the best QB on the team was 3rd string. Pickett won’t be playing the rest of the year (however long that is) unless Rudolph is hurt. Pickett might never play for the Steelers again.

And losing five yards wouldn’t really matter as any FG there is a gimmie.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

The only reason Mason struggled at end of drivers was terrible playcalling. Pass on first down when the box is stacked.

It's New Year's Eve and I'm not going to argue ridiculous statements. Mason might have just turned himself into a very expensive free agent.

Rudolph has been the whipping boy in Pittsburgh I got shit for supporting for 6 years and now some folks are full on in; "I alway knew he'd be a star" bullshit mode.

I'm very, very happy for Mason. He deserves this success and is playing wonderfully. Not taking the "Kenny Pickett is the worst QB who ever lived" horseshit because you didn't take him in your mock draft.

Have a great New Year's Eve.

Luvin him some turbisky, has got to be up there for one of his worst personnel decisions during his Steelers tenure. The match of his conservative O mindset, and turbisky's wacky turnover prone YOLO ball never made sense, or had any chance or winning many football games.

[Texas Black & Gold]

Mason seems to be playing like he has nothing to lose. He is confident and mostly accurate. Why not start him next week? Stick with the hot hand.

Let Kenny keep healing and learning from the bench.

Their last game against Seattle was the first of the "extra" interconference games the 17 game season created. The home field for those probably get decided by some other complicated NFL rule.

Laugh all you want. I’m sure you had all kinds of belief in Mason Rudolph. You probably knew he’d play this great too, right?



The amount of shit that I and a few others took for supporting Rudolph for 6 years and now the bus is full.

When Kenny turns it around you’ll be the first one diving into that lifeboat, saying you knew it would happen all along.

Maybe referring to Mason trying to navigate the offensive lifeboat that could salvage a season that had promise until Tomlin decided to sink it with so much turbisky luv?

***Nevermind, see KC was talking about after KP8 turns things around. Not as appropriate without referencing Rudolph*****
