If the Steelers have any brains they would encourage Tomlin to hang it up after this season then name Ben Johnson the next head coach of YOUR Pittsburgh Steelers.

"Lions offense is incredible.

Shitcan Tomlin after this season and go get Ben Johnson."

You're not getting it, Art would rather "win" NHALS with the potted plant than win a Lombardi with Johnson.

I think A2 loves the “3 head coaches in 55 years”, more than anything else.

At least no one is saying "who you gonna replace Tomlin with that's better?!?!?!?" any more.

It's being shown over and over again there is plenty of HC talent out there just waiting for a chance. You have to find it. Also, parity rules so it doesn't take long to get a team on the championship path.

Meanwhile, we haven't seriously competed for at least 7 years. So Tomlin clearly isn't the guy to get us on the championship path. He's been coasting for over a decade on accomplishments that really owe to Cowher. If you look at what he's done (or hasn't done) the past 7+ years I don't think there's a team in the league that would still be paying him.

Agreed. Brady talks too much (almost sounds coked up) and frankly, he has an annoying voice.

He knows his stuff but he’s just too hyper. Olsen was more insightful and he doesn’t have a grating voice.

Worthy and Juju hurt for KC.

Aiyuk down for the 9ers

Deebo out with an illness.

Not a good day to be a WR in Levi Stadium I guess

We should trade 3 1sts for this Mariota guy. Need to address our QB problems at any cost.

One of the first things that came to mind when he got that deal.

But with sports commentary it can work if you're entertaining. I'm sure they can work on him about talking too much. Number one rule is you absolutely cannot step on the entertainment.

That was sick from Mahomes. Don't want to be the defender having to watch that film in front of the whole defense.

No doubt Mahoomees is the driver of the team, even when he's having an off game & season WRT passing stats, but wow, that KC defense with Spags calls makes Austin/Tomlin look like peewee league coaches.

The KC D has been outstanding the last few years, and allows Mahooomes to do his magic in spurts as needed to win. Very impressive game by the chefs.

Not a good day for Purdy, really highlighting his weaknesses.

100 percent. Spags is the best DC in football and I don’t think it’s remotely close

oh, and that run to the sideline Mahoomes had to setup the roll/truck of Mustafa for the TD, had me screaming at how unfair the league has made it for the D. If the LB or DB had crushed him like any other player except the QB, he would not have gained the extra 20 yds. He was literally running OOB, and then decided to juke back into the field of play.

Bet Mahoomes makes a different "business" decision on that run if he wasn't protected by the franchise QB force field refs put on certain players when near the sidelines.

Really sucks to be the defender in that situation with a mobile QB running toward the sidelines.

Next to Watt, Chris Jones is the best defensive player in the NFL

and the real SB MVP

Cleveland was dumb not to resign Flacco

It looks like KC has an easy schedule and it might be up to the Steelers on Christmas day to end their undefeated season.
I hope the Black & Gold are healthy.
Secure NHALS early and then go deep into the PLAYOFFS. :D :D :D

Speaking of Brady as a color commentator.. have any of you seen the list of things he is not permitted to do now that he is a minority owner of the Raiders? It’s actually comical. Guy had an already super cush gig that just got easier. He literally can’t do any prep work. Basically he can just show up to games and go on the air.

Some of it..

As a formally approved part-owner, Brady faces the following restrictions to his Fox broadcasting job:

He can’t criticize teams or referees. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
He can’t enter team facilities.
He can’t attend practices.
He can’t join pregame production meetings with teams or players—in person or virtually.
He’s subject to the league’s gambling and tampering policies.

Meanwhile Anthony Richardson has 61 yards passing in 1st half. :o
1 out of 10 passes are true WOW moments but he is a 50% passer at this point and can't run an NFL offense. They need to leave him in and take their lumps. They won that game in spite of Richardson.
