GDT: GDT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Steelers exit the playoffs in the most Steelers like way

[Ogrezilla]

How can they play so tough against ne and no but suck eggs against a team like oakland

perfect summany of Mike Tomlin football

 

[K Fleur]

Miss playoffs.

Tomlin fired.

Successful season.

Tomlin's not getting fired for anything short of a 4-12 season. Dude is gonna be here for another 30 years.

 

[Andy99]

Tomlin fired.

Successful season.

If he gets fired, I’ll agree..I don’t think he will be though and we’ll all be here next year complaining about this same ****....

 

[TNT87]

Can't lose in the playoffs if you don't make them.

 

[ColePens]

YEah tough to hate on JuJu. Shit happens. We had the ball last and we were driving. That game didn't lose us the season. The Raiders and other games like that did.

 

[Bingo71]

Go ahead and defend Tomlin and this clown show, I dare you.

I didn’t even watch the game but knew damn well that this merry band of assholes, with asshole aviators at the helm would f*** this game away when in reality it isn’t even a game that should have mattered because of the other f*** ups along the way...

Oh well, Tomlin and crew will be back next year to f*** that season up as well with more bullshit clock management, dumbass challenges, shitty gameplans, and just plain dumbf***ery.

 

[Ogrezilla]

YEah tough to hate on JuJu. **** happens. We had the ball last and we were driving. That game didn't lose us the season. The Raiders and other games like that did.

seriously. He's not even at the top of the list for losing us this game, let alone the season.

 

[Brandinho]

Yup

Trying to run out the clock with 10 mins left lol. This team plays scared.

This is why I dont blame our D as much as otthers...of course we need to replace a few guys but our offense ****ed up all season long. They score with ease when losing...but when we have the lead and can end the game? Punt...punt...punt...

The D played pretty well overall, I thought. It's just that there were some really ugly moments. The penalties didn't help, let alone the fact that most of them were phantom calls.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I dont think Tomlin gets canned, but man, its not tough to see how a different coach could get this team farther. They have all the talent there.

Steelers Should Worry About Craig Wrolstad Crew Officiating Road Game Against Saints - Steelers Depot

Basically the NFL sent the most easily manipulated refs to the biggest game of the week.

 

[Brandinho]

I mean, he had the game ending fumble after tweeting out how important he is to fantasy football. Not exactly a great look for him.

I don't have a big problem with it, it's more so a question of why? Just what's the point?

You really don't see the point of a wildly popular professional athlete trying to connect with his fans? Ben Mendy does the exact same thing and everyone loves it. I guarantee it had no impact whatsoever on anything that happened in the game.

 

[Bingo71]

He's a fan favorite. A lot of people love fantasy football. No issue with this at all. To me it's strange to be critical of it

It’s about being concerned with off the field bullshit and not being focused on the game itself.

 

[Dick Sledge]

Apparently the cool thing to do against the Steelers is for the refs to gift all former and current Chargers their 1st TDs of the game.

 

[DanielPlainview]

They've basically been running a 4-3 the last two weeks. Maybe stick with that. Permanently.

 

[Ogrezilla]

seriously, I wish more pro athletes had fun positive personalities like Juju.

 

[Shaftception]

Funny enough, if that last penalty is called DPI like it should've been, they would've been inside the 25 instead of the 35, where they probably run instead of pass which led to JuJu's fumble (though I don't put that game anywhere near on his shoulders).

Just a terrible game by the refs, and Steelers coaches.

Those 4-12 seasons are coming and sooner than you think..:

Idk, you can argue it shows a lack of focus on a team that has extremely serious issues with a lack of focus. Like the game this weekend may decide your season, and you're tweeting that out the day before and then you have the game losing fumble?

Maybe I just dislike the amount of personality a lot of NFLers show because of how bland a lot of hockey players are, but I just feel like it's not a great look.

should he be a monk all season? Would that make him play better?

I really could not disagree with you more That tweet shows absolutely nothing about his focus We need more athletes like JuJu, not less.

You need to fix your sarcasm detector.

Amen, he's such a breath of fresh air.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Tomlin is gone if they miss the playoffs. Art knows the window is tiny. Tomlin has reached his ceiling with this team. Time to move on.
