On the brightside Baltimore is now going to go all in on their one dimensional run first QB which historically has the same shelf life as a gallon of milk.
They're in the playoffs.

i would think he gets grabbed riiiiiiiiiight before the Steelers could pick.well it looks like we might have a shot at mack Wilson in the draft.
If this was any other team, he would have been fired after last season, if not sooner.I feel like if this was any other sport, he’d be fired already.
I agree Harbaugh is a way better coach, but to be fair and to avoid further frustration (and trust me, we are still warranted in being frustrated), we need to acknowledge that while the Steelers have had the superior talent on offense, the Ravens have had superior talent on both D AND special teams.
And, as I said above, and bears repeating, Harbaugh is a better coach.
Since roughly 2012ish, advantage Baltimore at CB, Safety, LB (unfortunate because Mosley is a stud and Shazier was morphing into more of a game changer until the injury), DL kind of a tossup. But K/P (makes a difference - imagine if Boswell didn’t F up this year and remember Scobee costing them that game against Baltimore a few years back, and Tucker might be the best K in the history of the game). Then there’s the stupid penalties Baltimore doesn’t commit as often on special teams in particular, and Jacoby Jones was the best return man either has had in years. Funny we had him and he kinda sucked.I’m not sure the talent was that superior. Probably at the corner position but that might be it
The issue is the culture. There's no real accountability at all. They sure love to talk about It but the Bell drama and shit like that is not something we should have seen for as long as we have for example. Like that shit dragged for a couple of seasons. Dumb. And it's because Tomlin allowed it.This guy...
Partially due to an awe inspiring collapse from the Steelers. I will admit that their coaching staff did an amazing job changing their offense to fit Lamar. If only the Steelers had a tenth of that level of coaching to work with.They're in the playoffs.

Dude has to go.

But tradition and blah blah blah = rarely make a trade, rarely sign a legitimate free agent, keep the same old ****ty coach when it’s obvious they are awful, and rely 100% on the draft.
The problem is that they’ve sucked at drafting recently and we have a ****ty coach. But what worked 45 years ago is relevant to todays’s game.
Please sell your share of the team, Rooneys. All of our issues stem from this outdated ownership group. They are sooo stale. Enough is enough. I can’t imagine how frustrated the minority owners are with them.
My grandpa always said to keep a coach for life. He knows a thing or two!
I have a strange feeling he is gone.
Caps fan coming in peace, but I also like the Steelers (mainly because I grew up in Cincy and hate that team there bc of the awful owner/awful people they allowed to play on that team). Came to DC 14 years ago and fell in love with hockey so that’s how I like Caps/Steelers (I know it’s weird).
Here’s the thing about Tomlin. You have a lot of veterans on this team. A lot of guys who are more on their way out than new. A lot of guys who have been “close” to being a Super Bowl caliber team with Tomlin. I have a feeling Pitt (who doesn’t make many coaching changes) isn’t going to make any head coach changes until a coach can come in with a new QB/New philosophy/etc. Unfortunately, Ben/AB/Tomlin have been at this together so long, I think we aren’t going to see a change until at last Ben is gone/Maybe AB too. Coaches that come to a great organization are coaches that get an opportunity to do what they want to do. Look at Gruden. He came in and traded a number one receiver and arguable best defender in the game to start building the team their way.
Question for Steelers fans is are we okay with a new era without Ben/probably AB/etc to get a new coach in there? Is it time for a whole new look.... or do you let this core give it another go next year and maybe even the year after while Ben can still at least be productive?
Tough decision. Tomlin isn’t good - but this team together with him being the guy they’ve followed this long is good. Tough, tough situation

if only juju was thinking about holding on to the ball in NO instead of on his next tweet we'd be looking forward to next week right now
i think this is an interesting point of view. i doubt management will move on from Tomlin anyway (i predict he will at least survive the remaining term on his contract, through 2020). i would still want to see a new head coach come in. i would make the argument that a team that's had this much talent for years and years has very little excuse for only winning 3 postseason games since 2010.Caps fan coming in peace, but I also like the Steelers (mainly because I grew up in Cincy and hate that team there bc of the awful owner/awful people they allowed to play on that team).

that was sarcasm.Too many people to blame to single out juju.
i'm really hoping this isn't serious. out of all the players and personnel that could be pointed at to take the brunt of the blame for the Steelers missing the playoffs, JuJu should be pretty far down the list.if only juju was thinking about holding on to the ball in NO instead of on his next tweet we'd be looking forward to next week right now
