Lol. Swiss is all over the place. Let's be clear what Swiss said...emphatically. I DID say he would be coaching the Steelers next year. That turned out to be incorrect. Where I will be correct, and reference to where you're quoting me, which I posted AFTER he stepped down, is that he would not be c...

It does feel a bit overboard. But does seem to follow trends I have noticed here over the past 10 years or so. I don't really see it as a huge cause for celebration, even though it was a few years past time. Dan would have pulled the trigger about 5-ish years ago, would have gone down the same way a...

Maybe. It may depend on who they hire. They will give any new hire a lot of space and latitude to make their mark, to put their imprint on the team. It will depend on who they get really. It will require a change of culture on several levels, not quite to the extent needed in 1969, but many things n...

I stayed a Tomlin fan longer than most. He didn't lose me until that day in New Orleans where Ben and Brown couldn't be stopped... ...and then Mike Tomlin thought he'd be able to turtle away an entire quarter of football with just a four point lead. His numerous mistakes before then had shaken my f...

Good question, I think he is definitely welcomed back. Whatever we on this message board may happen to think about how it came about, fact is he went to 2 SBs, won one of them, he was the head coach, and the vast majority of fans will just assess it on that surface basis, especially over time. And e...

The only thing that will make me happier is if it leaks out that art II was suggesting behind the scenes that Tomlin step away, like Dan did with Noll, and like when Art challenged Cowher after 2004. That would show there's something still going on upstairs in Art's brain. I think that is honestly ...

Saw that. Yeah, coaches were getting fired left and right 21 years ago. 31 years ago. Not sure what he was smoking there.

Also. I kind of agreed with Gonzo's take on the chest thumping and kiss blowing stuff. It is unprofessional and not what I prefer to see from my head coach, but whatever, feeling good after a win, I get it. But the more I look at it, the more I see it as a F U to the fans. Ok everyone has the right ...

Seasons with a playoff win: DeMeco Ryans: 3 in 3 years Mike Tomlin: 4 in 19 years But mike has a SB Ben and Lebeau got a SB. Tomlin was along for the ride. I didn't used to think that. I used to think it was like Chuck Noll or Tom Landry. Get a bit complacent, message gets stale, game passes you by...

Good write up, Swiss. I loved the way this season unfolded down the stretch like I haven't seen in a while from them, and that, combined with Rodgers, gave me hope it might be different. But nah. Even though the score was close in the 4th Q, they were never in it. Felt the same as if they were down ...

Good stuff, TB. I knew you weren't really about all that losing stuff, but I did understand where it was coming from. Genuine desire to want to see this team be what it was for about 50 years since 1970, instead of the playoff joke we have become in most recent years. I never wanted to live long eno...

Thank you for posting the game thread. Enjoying this game with my Dad who was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year. Normally. I'd want us to lose in hilariously bad fucking fashion and for Tomlin to finally be fired. I want Pops to see another SB win - he's seen every one so far. Let's win the ...

Would of been in the house for tonight's game... but Whirlwind weeks and a half or so. New Years. Then my son got married on the 2nd. My father took I'll and fell on Teusday... Hit head, ribs, hip and knees... 9 hours in ER thru the night... Turned out the flue and double pneumonia were the real cu...

Let's fucking go!!! Ride the arm of ARod! Who ride???

Sad news today. Our great early 70s closer has passed. Loved Dave, though I cussed him out mercilessly in the 9th inning of game 5 of the 72 NLCS. God bless you, Paisano, and your family and friends. Dave Giusti, a World Series champion with the Pittsburgh Pirates and a relief pitcher who revolution...

100% Swiss!

Also, O Line has to play above the line in both pass pro and run game. TEs need worked in as much as possible. We need good, explosive runs from both Jaylen and Kenny G.

D needs to run stop, force CJ into pass situations, and bring the hounds.

Here we go!

On the other hand, remember when a classified ad cost 300 bucks in the eighties and NOTHING now on Craigslist? Newspapers died for a reason. Who is old enough to remember the Pittsburgh Press? And all the local papers like the McKeesport Daily News? I referenced the Press earlier....had a paper rou...

the death of the newspaper paralleled the death of the mall one killed by Amazon the other by Craigslist and online media Downtown McKeesport was a great shopping area until Eastland Mall then Amazon turned it into a Soviet parking lot Is downtown Pittsburgh still great for Christmas shopping. Fun ...

As a journalism major (and former paper boy), I admit the writer wannabe in me finds the end of the newspaper era a little depressing. Just like most of the modern world, I’m addicted to my phone. I do however make a conscious effort to holster it at work and leave it on the kitchen counter when un...

With you, MJG!! And this is what I'm talking about as far as the difference between having your team in the playoffs and not in the playoffs. Regardless of the result on Monday, we get another week of anticipation, which I guess not everyone enjoys but i sure as fuck do. I also like the Steelers ar...

https://youtu.be/V5GNfstGnmY?si=0zQPXPFgax04VeLJl Fuck yeah!! I don't care about all the no playoff wins in x amount of years, or this or fucking that! That was a fucking signature win on Sunday night and for the first time since #7 was under center, I am fucking pumped!! I was uncertain about Aaro...

Steelers/Ravens is easily the best rivalry in modern NFL history.

This century no doubt about it. And it is typically real football too. Physical, in your face, blood and guts.

Jesus Christ Waitman do you fucking job!

One thing you can count on is our punter (no matter who it is) hitting a crappy punt in a key moment late in.the season.

As far back as Bobby Walden. You are right, never fails.

Man I am loving this game!! Cam Heyward having a super game, as is TJ!! ARod playing his heart out, Jaylen Warren running like a man possessed! Great game so far! Here we go, Steelers!!

Yeah!!! Here we go!! Playoff atmosphere! Huge on and off field implications! Sweet stuff!! Here we go, Steelers!!

A couple days late, but I wanted to wish everyone a very safe and healthy new year. Hope that everyone enjoyed a good time over the holidays. Let's go! I know there is a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth here, but just as easily as a flop finish, the Steelers are poised to give us an exciting sea...
