NFL GDT: 2021 AFC Wild Card Game: (2) Kansas City Chiefs vs (7) Pittsburgh Steelers - KC wins 42-21

[Spring in Fialta]

Kelce throwing TDs. Goddamn.

 

[John Price]

He's at Peyton Manning's level. I still can't believe a defense was so good that he retired on a ring.

Peyton at his end was so old he could not properly throw a football forward but he still ended up with a ring

Ben ended his career getting blown out. To be fair he is not the only QB to end his career this way, Marino ended his career losing 62-7 to Jacksonville in 1999

Pretty much how everyone thought this one would go.

Honestly if the Steelers didn't have a fossil at QB i think they could have taken a serious run at winning this. But alas.

With how good Tomlin is as a coach i'm sure they could start a pop warner at QB next year and still somehow find a way into the playoffs. they'll be back.

 

[keonsbitterness]

4th down. This could be the game.

 

[Terry Yake]

great way to send ben off into retirement

 

[keonsbitterness]

Nice grab.

Pit has 3 good WR, a really good RB and a good rookie TE

Steelers should have moved on from Ben a few years ago, he’s been holding them back.

true

instead they were content with non-losing seasons

gotta tank to get a good QB

 

[John Price]

Bye Bye Roethlisburger. Hopefully you'll be able to ride off into the sunset, just dont' forget to wear a helmet

 

[The National]

LOL “Family Man”

 

[John Price]

stupd media gloss acting as if he were an elite QB

He was slightly above average stop trying to revise history

[keonsbitterness]

I'm sure Dak Prescott would have got another play off at the end

 

[John Price]

I wouldn't have an issue with that. He would be an upgrade.

His issue in Minnesota is he didn't have a defense.

 

[EpochLink]

Peace out, Ben.

See you in the HOF.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Pittsburgh wins at least 11 with Cousins at QB.

 

[The National]

I wouldn't have an issue with that. He would be an upgrade.

His issue in Minnesota is he didn't have a defense.

I could see Baker there too.

 

[John Price]

I could see Baker there too.

Browns are probably going to get the 5th year option on Baker

Heck go after someone in FA to replace Ben. Because he clearly wasn't the answer the last few years. Anyone. Carr, etc. Just get someone who can throw a f***ing football.

Carr is under contract.

free agency, good luck.

you’d have to trade assets for Wilson, Watson, Rodgers.

 

[summer tooth]

I would imagine that Steelers fans must be pretty pissed by that playcalling -- you have a franchise QB going out in his last game, and in a situation where you know it's going to be a loss, you decide to go:
dumpoff, dumpoff, dumpoff, dumpoff, 7 yard pass, dumpoff, dumpoff, dumpoff, dumpoff

Terrific job. You really had 0 trust in a guy who has been there what 15 years? Absolutely disgraceful

 

[cutchemist42]

Soooooo can we have the old format back?

Seemed like that’s all he was capable of, he can’t throw anymore.

 

[summer tooth]

Yet in his last game, the offensive coordinator must have in his mind hey, we want to throw a couple deep shots right? Send him off on at least a solid effort. Instead, they go with 2-yard dumpoffs even when they know it's over. That's not how you send a guy off. You send your guy out with a bang.
