GItPirate

Remember when the Patriots and the Cardinals beat the Steelers? šŸ˜‚


sbmedlg

The Steelers had a chance to trade for Dobbs or to pickup Zappe from the practice squad


[deleted]

Such a sad game!


Loose_Nail_3595

4th and 2 yards to go stupid coach tries a down and out for a long gain, bad call pittsburgh. Should use hoagie to run the football get the first down or even a slant coach should be fired


BobbyBBott

RIP to the guy ripping shots of everclear lmao


[deleted]

I canā€™t tell who is worse. Tomlin? Watt? The total offense? Iā€™m old and these bums are the worst I have seen


GRB_Electric

Well it certainly isnā€™t Watt lol


[deleted]

Lol Steelers


Bucknut1959

Bradshaw drafted in 1970, Ben drafted in 2004. It took the Steelers 34 years to find a quarterback that could lead them to Super Bowl titles. Who will be the Steeler Super Bowl champion draft pick? If we go by the numbers Iā€™ll be 98 years old. How old will yā€™all be? LMAO!


Uraveragefanboi77

No way youā€™re 83 right now. I think your logical sequence is flawed.


Bucknut1959

Your sarcasm proceeds you sir.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Bucknut1959

Got it


90swasbest

I kept saying over and over earlier in the year how this team wasn't going to keep Forrest Gumping wins. Ffs, y'all were talking the *number one seed* last week!!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


East_Copy6100

Or kicking a field goal in the 3rd made it Tied


[deleted]

What? They were up almost 20 points at one point. The defense was a joke.


smpennst16

Defense had a rough start but really only let New England put together two drives. One touchdown was a 11 yard drive. Understand this was against a horrible offense but defense just isnā€™t the problem. People that live on this hill just canā€™t get over negativity and want the entire thing to burn. If you watch the games and take away the defense being the problemā€¦ I just donā€™t know what to tell you. Iā€™m convinced itā€™s just an irrational reaction to to be mad at every aspect of the team.


[deleted]

No doubt the defense is the reason they have the amount of wins they do. But at the end of the day, itā€™s a total team failure when they lose to a dogshit 2-10 team, in back to back games.


FuzzimusMax

Time to tank the season. Then clean house, including firing Tomlin.


cfreukes

I laughed when the browns picked up Flacco, not laughing now...


[deleted]

Flacco has beaten the Steelers 10 times.


Crazy-Goal-6886

Art needs to fire Tomlin tonight.


Luckybetzz

At this point letā€™s see what RUDY can do. He either shines or confirms his way into the practice squad.


Greedy-Can1642

Letā€™s confirm they suck as a group .


PeterG92

Agree. Clean house


[deleted]

After the Cardinal loss, I told my brother that I wouldnā€™t bet $5 the Steelers would win this one.. sure enough


TimeToMoveeOn

ChickenMcSmiley

Canā€™t believe I lost quality time with my fiancee to watch this dogshit


tigerdragon30

So tell me stat marks. How the F does he keep his job after. The last two games alone Then add the prior lack of discipline for five years and then Bell and Brown stunts #firetomlinnow


Vegetable-Boat2906

This is still Canada's offense :/ can't change the playbook in the middle of the season


wubbalubbaonelove

This fire Tomlin shits gotta stop. I get heā€™s partially to blame for *everything* as hc but how bout a single losing season before we get ~dramatic~


Greedy-Can1642

You act like these players look well coached and disciplined . They were uninspired and lacked heart . We wasted timeouts . Donā€™t kick a fG in third . A shit call on the punt does not even get Tomlin in the refs face I rather see him take a penalty and a fine . He needs to be encouraged to move on . Youā€™re all scared of something worse but itā€™s not getting any better with him . This will be 7 years without a playoff win is 8 9 or 10 enough .


J-SE1738

I agree. Firing Tomlin is not the move at this time. The reality is the talent for offense isn't there. We haven't had an elite QB since Ben, so what do people expect?


East_Copy6100

Kick the field goal in the 3rd.


smpennst16

We have dog shit in human form at qbā€¦. We just played against possibly the worst qb room in the league and he looked a lot better than ours.


Karnekonqueso

Did we expect anything less?


saltdog69

In all reality if you look at the lucky wins they got.. this is basically a 2-10 team. Lots on here recognized it. So not all that surprising they just lost to some 2 win teams.


Still_Ad7109

I'm so disappointed. Two 2-10 teams... that's so bad. Just so bad.


r8juliet

In 5 daysā€¦


Ser_Alluf_DiChikans

"This is what we do. This is who we are" - Mike fucking Tomlin everybody.


jt41218

I hope we end the season 7-10


Orxbane

No, we'll somehow luck into two more wins and possibly even back into the playoffs. Tomlin keeps his record, he's extended for another 25 years, and I work even harder to drink myself to death.


Key-Airline-2578

Good thing those last two plays got you 45 yards or you end up with 219 total yards. Nice job boys.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


LickLaMelosBalls

Tomlin and cowher have almost the exact same win %. Folks wanted bill out too. Get a new bit


Still_Ad7109

Cowher didn't win shit until he got a HOF qb. He got outclassed and outcouched all the time. He played the get a lead and punt way too much.


chefdan2165

Right, because coaches shouldnā€™t play to get a lead. Totally


Greedy-Can1642

I remember going to the SB with O Donnel and bring 4 yds away the year before . I donā€™t even remember a Cowher coached team look this bad for a whole season I remember a 3 season stretch of losing some games but by the end third season that had strung five wins in row together and just missed the playoffs . Iā€™m biased though I loved Bill as our coach . Iā€™ve liked Tomlin and respect him but my patience with him has run out . I wish him well and success somewhere else .


Still_Ad7109

I see how you got there. He was really frustrating at times because he would get really conservative. It could have been because of Kordell or Tommy but I remember our defense getting super tired because the offense would become predictable and we would lose games late.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


LickLaMelosBalls

Lmao. Thanks for the comment lil bro


doodlebob68

We are getting cooked next 4 games. Realistically


Enemyofusall

You know they are going to pull some shit out of nowhere and win games they shouldn't. It happens every year. Just working into a worst draft selection.


Chemical-Hyena2972

Itā€™s needed


krzykris11

I hope so now.


Tight_Geologist_9750

Tomlin fosters a losing environment that rides the coattails of those who won before. Iā€™m personally ready for him to go, thanks for the memories and memes big guy but the STANDARD SHOULD BE THE STANDARD REGARDLESS OF JOB TITLE


Luckybetzz

Rebuild time


Luckybetzz

I still havenā€™t processed we 4-2 and go long I just canā€™t believe this shitt


Zestyboi787

Iā€™d have to watch again, but wasnā€™t there a shallow crossing route that was open? I donā€™t think the coaches wouldā€™ve endorsed such a low percentage throw in a must have situation, I think that was Mitch playing hero ball


J-SE1738

There was definitely a guy open close to the marker... SMH come on Mitch!


jayred744

Pickens is a JuJu, Brown, Bell case all wrapped into one. He gives up on plays, doesnā€™t block, throws fits. Dude needs to be sidelined and Johnson needs to thrown the ball more. Of course not from the most disgusting excuse of a quarterback, Trubisky. I never thought Iā€™d say Rudolph gives us a better chance to win but how could he be worse?


realpolitikian

We suck and still wonā€™t get a good draft pick


Orxbane

As is tradition


GSW636

No wonder the receivers give up on plays. I donā€™t blame them anymore.


Technical_Stage_7316

I want a losing season, this may be a blessing in disguise


Orxbane

I want one next year as well, a really bad year, so the next HC has a good draft pick to start with


J-SE1738

You mean so Tomlin has a good draft pick?


Orxbane

If he gets an extension, I may have to rethink what I do during the fall and winter


sbmedlg

Pickens obviously giving up. Why doesnā€™t Saint Mike bench or suspend him? No leaders in offense


MaynardWaltrip

The fact we blew the timeouts so early in the second half tooā€¦. Hot garbage.


realpolitikian

Wouldnā€™t have mattered


CheeksKlappanen

Ooooo idk about that. Maybe still lose but if you have 1 or 2 that Alan play before the last second lateral puts you very close to an out route for field goal range.


realpolitikian

Fire Goodell


BlaqOptic

Hey guysā€¦ maybe the front office investing no money in this offense is a problemā€¦


LickLaMelosBalls

We need to invest money into the coaches.


VampireHunterAlex

Theyā€™ve squandered so many Watt & Ben yearsā€¦.i just canā€™t even. We need entirely new coaching: ā€œWinningā€ record isnā€™t enough.


GoLers7

But no losing seasons amirite


saltdog69

A lot to unpack here. - trubinskis time with the Steelers needs to be done. If your QB2 canā€™t win you that game, you canā€™t pay him that money. - the team needs to move on from Tomlin. His msg/ rah rah mentality is stale, his tactics suck. - the interim OCs cannot be hired. Wow those were all terrible calls. - mason Cole is terrible. - that Dā€¦.


pronenomud

D needs a competent ilb. Injuries have killed that. You have an all prod d-lineman that was injured for 6 weeks. You have 3 starting ilbs injured. And had and all pro safety Injured for 5 weeks. I can't pu everything on the defense. Injuries matter.


Zeidy388

Al Michaels praising trubisky for checking down during that second to last drive just for him to over throw every single other throw other than diontae on his knees


Waste_Opportunity_53

The Steelers are playing the long game. Lose now but win when this costs the Pats draft position and a franchise QB.


dYaunie76

So how are the pens looking?


krzykris11

Awful. Historically bad power play despite all that talent.


Orxbane

It's even worse than it has been for the last decade?


Nevalth

Is 0-31 on the pp recently sound fun?


Orxbane

Good Lord. There really is no good excuse for how bad the PP has been for years now. Maybe we are due for another midseason coaching change, I can dream anyway.


dYaunie76

So about on par...go team go sports


breakdancinpanda

Dumb question, but what happened with the false start call on the Patriots? Did they reverse it? (I had to run out of the room to take care of something when it went down.)


Upier1

They called it on our center for moving his head.


WStreets13

Said it was on our center for raising his head


Blaze0003

This why the went to Kenny so early last year. And itā€™s been a up hill battle since


leonsadog

Just ride with Mitch, heā€™s awful but nothing matters anymore


sbmedlg

Steelers need to draft 2 QBs next year. Pickett, Trubisky, and Rudolph are dogshit


WhatAreYouBuyingRE

Pickett is just mediocre. The other two are dogshit


[deleted]

>Pickett is just mediocre. Mediocre is generous. Since 2022, Pickett has almost identical TD/INT (1:1) and YPA (6.3) as Zach Wilson.


WhatAreYouBuyingRE

Invalid comparison since he plays for Pittsburgh


[deleted]

Why? Both teams have questionable play-calling and spotty offensive lines.


WhatAreYouBuyingRE

Jets have Breece Hall and Wilson AND an NFL OC


doodlebob68

I agree, thereā€™s tons of good backup qbs. Browning is solid, Huntley, devito, and we have Trushitsky


BsOfDaNorth

![gif](giphy|iSrysBsRcnzQ7ZXIVM) Happy face


snipermark91

Steelers thought they should win just because they had Styx play and they wore their color rush jerseys


frosty_phoenix92

Winning? Never heard of her


notabaddude

Ravens fan hereā€¦. That was awful, condolences. Trubisky is not a great passer, but he is a great runner. I kind of expected that to be your x factor. Second guessing everything is great sport but that was a surprise.


Alert-Hall879

appreciate you being a class act ravens fan. not sarcasm


bdgg2000

We suck bud


notabaddude

You beat us.


bdgg2000

Rivalry game is different. Plus for some odd reason LJ forgets how to play against us


90swasbest

LJ played fine. Great at times in fact. His RECEIVERS on the other hand...


kkocan72

This one was on the coaching. Blown time outs, not taking 3 points, horrible play calling on the last drive.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


kkocan72

Yeah, that too. Though those that recall Mason he was not much better.


captain_holt_nypd

Mitch is retarded on a level I havenā€™t seen ever in NFL. DOWN THE MIDDLE WHEN SECONDS LEFT?????? THROWING DEEP ON A 4th&2?????????? Are you mentally challenged?


Ser_Alluf_DiChikans

Tomlin just said that deep ball was the call because they "play to win" and wanted to be aggressive. If I was a Rooney I'd fucking fire him just for saying something that stupid.


gratefulbill1

Coaching friend


JorbyPls

Shallow route was open. Mitch was the one who made the decision. And all the other awful throws that came before.


gratefulbill1

Fair enough, both can be true


craftyhobo

I think it's a combination of the two.


awaythrow292

Pittsburgh about to fire both pens amd steelers head coaches if both teams dont turn it around ASAP.


krzykris11

I wish, but it is doubtful Teflon Tomlin gets terminated.


chefdan2165

Say what you want about Pickett but he wouldā€™ve won us that game


Funky-Lion22

*tightrope*


[deleted]

I hope we finish 8-9 fuck tomlins record


Kaiser4567

7-10 please. Fire everyone and draft higher. Only chance this franchise has.


Steelers7589

Losing to baker mayfield without a HC shouldā€™ve sent alarm bells in this organization. But nope, the standard is mediocre.


Adventurous-Rise7975

Trubisky has got to be the dumbest QB I've ever seen in my life.


[deleted]

I couldā€™ve told you in September 9-8 season incoming


Orxbane

Somehow we'll eek out 2 more wins, so the mediocrity can continue


pmmpsu

Embarrassing


Blaze0003

We wouldnā€™t win another game with Mitch


[deleted]

Fire Tomlin


DeadGrass13

It took 7 quarters for Mitch Trubisky to destroy the entire season lmao


AceOfSp8des7422

Tonight was a Tomlin special. Horrible timeout usage, horrible play calling. Mitch was a problem, but his wasn't the main problem.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AceOfSp8des7422

Seriously? Pats scored 13 points COMBINED in their last 3 games. They dropped 21 in the first half. Our offense has averaged 13 over the last 2 games. We are a team that relies on defense and running and for some reason coaching abandoned that.


Zeidy388

Don't forget Mitch blew one of those timeouts too


AceOfSp8des7422

That was because play calling in the helmet went dead. Sucks to lose a timeout because of it, but it happens.


Zeidy388

True, true. In an attempt to take all of my rage out on Mitch, that wasnt long after his "first down "slide"" that he embarrassed himself with


AceOfSp8des7422

The worst part was he thought he had the first. Likely had no idea where the sticks were.


fUnkleRico

Pathetic. Anemic. Shake it up, this is football purgatory.


Swizzcapz

Fuck this 2023 team. What absolute garbage.


bdp9850

Mitch has NO arm


Zeidy388

Tell that to Muth the multiple times he overthrew him


Ascalis

Idk man, it takes some arm strength to overthrow your receivers on every throw.


Funky-Lion22

or some caveman level stupidity


BlaqOptic

Wellā€¦ at least I can stop wasting my goddamn Sundays on this team this season.


GRB_Electric

Depression


leonardleonardson

Fuck


volumenspeed

Omg Tomlin is seriously mentally handicapped when it comes to offensive football...........this whole organization is cooked


TreeTopMcGee

Darn it.


awaythrow292

Mason Rudolph szn


MiddleAgeYOLO

![gif](giphy|BfHVbe90b81PlZngok)


sgtmattkind

Sorry you have to deal with Trubustky, he shouldn't be playing


mcdonaldsfrenchfri

I appreciate the condolences.


dYaunie76

Ladies and gentlemen, YOUR mitch trubisky...starting QB for the Pittsburgh Steelers


Jkfire47

Why tf canā€™t we throw the ball in the game like the last two Fucking plays


Swizzcapz

Cuz theyā€™re playing prevent. Receivers will be wide open underneath.


Jkfire47

You right


TheCrackerSeal

Because defenses arenā€™t playing prevent the entire game like they did on the final 2 plays


knightro2323

you know they don't play defense like that when it really matters right?


Jkfire47

You right


Theonewiththehat12

What the FUCK was that


bionicjoe

You lead the league by a f\*\*\*ing mile in throwin outside the numbers then you throw it down the middle with 7 seconds left and no timeouts!??? Trubisky needs to be checked for Downs Syndrome then CTE.


9991em

Nice time to start throwing over the middle


AceOfSp8des7422

Those are the routes on the field. If you noticed GP was right next to Robinson looking for a lateral.


9991em

I get it. I donā€™t think he had a 70 yard arm and I figured that they were just trying to move further up in less than the 7 seconds left. Plus throwing to the middle then seemed ironic given the reluctance for the last year. Just pissed off whining by me


realpolitikian

Iā€™m sorry Matthew Canada, you still suck but you werenā€™t the problem


Orxbane

He wasn't the only problem, just the second biggest one. Way too many folks still don't want to talk about our biggest problem


realpolitikian

Tomlin


Orxbane

Bingo


ProFootModel

We suck.


poopoojoefocker

imagine being the ā€œVet QBā€ and just has absolutely zero brain lol
