Naa…Canada will stay. That way Tomlin can blame his coordinator again. You know, the college coach that he hired to begin with.
Good news is they did identify 3 bright spots. TE, RB and QB (hopefully). I just have zero confidence Tomlin/Canada have a clue.

How many years is Tomlin going to have the “no plan” plan with red flags?? As he would say, he’s not “on his details”.

unfortunately I think you are right. canada will be given another year to "refine" his offensive offense

to those who think it was turning out to be good, just look at who they played in the recent win streak..... and the amount of points we scored

I think kenny will continue to improve but until these guys figure out how to play thru the first three quarters like they do at the end of a game, the steelers will be an average team

Shittsburgh, city of mediocrity.

They have forgotten what it means to be champions.

Good showing at the end. 7-2 since the bye week. The competition wasn’t that great after the bye, but having Watt back and Pickett getting more reps made a big difference. The defense only let one team put up 20 or more points in those last 9, and Pickett turned the turnovers way down. I think with some help on the left side of the line, and a full off-season of Pickett getting the first team reps, we could be a real contender now that the rebuilding year is over.

Fucking opposition, they let the Steelers win and Tomlin can still brag about not having a losing record. He won't get replaced, the team will stay near 500 and star talent will want to skip town.

Most overrated coach in sports!! Idk how this works out, we’ll get hammered in the playoffs again.

I really don’t understand it. NFL teams have like 8000 coaches who specialize in all kinds of minute detail kind of crap, but they don’t have a coach in charge of replay challenges??? They need to talk to the Penguins about the value of such a coach. The Pens have had a video replay monitor since replay was established in the NHL, and I don’t think they have EVER missed a chance to challenge or gotten one wrong (that probably is exaggeration. I am sure they aren’t perfect, but they are really good with challenges). As a side note (and nothing to do with the most recent game specifically), they could also use a clock management specialist on staff as well. Tomlin often botches that aspect of the game. He certainly is not alone in that regard; there really are not many coaches that manage the clock well.

Agree 100%!! It’s stupid and has cost us games. Cost us a TD and a key first down yesterday. He’s sucked at this from the start.
I swear Bilichek has someone watch the live TV feed (which is smart) and buzz him. Ive seen him reach for the flag as soon as the announcers say it needs reviewed. Sounds far fetched but why not use every tool available.

I’m pretty happy with the season. It took a while to get their legs under them, but clearly there’s a lot of young talent there. The P to P pass combo has Montana to Rice potential. Dumping Claypool was a mistake imo, another guy who could’ve been a star for the next decade. He just needed to get that rookie spark back.

Mistershark · 01-09-2023, 07:42 PM

I’m happy with the 32nd pick for Claypool. He was about as good after he left as his last two years on the team. He makes 50/50 balls 20/80 balls, and not in the good way.

Exactly! Never knew how to high point a ball. And we really got a 1st round pick. I love that trade. Need help in other areas. I’d let Edmonds go and start Karzee, and Bush the fuck out of there. Big draft coming up. I hope they go all front 7 on defense and O-line.

They renewed Canada for a 3rd season

Its no surprise, kind of like the Pirates now, winning is just being one game over 500.

Charley3 · 01-18-2023, 09:23 PM

No surprise at all. Tomlin is a fucking idiot! He can’t hire coaches. Either the best don’t want to work for him or his ego won’t allow it. So another year of average.

1pittsburgh · 03-31-2023, 08:43 PM

The Steelers were 8-2 with Watt in the lineup. 7-5 with the rookie KP as the starter. The entire team improved as the season went on. It's reasonable to believe that players going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, such as Robinson, Leal, Pickett, Pickens, Warren, Heyward, Harris, and Muth, will all continue to improve. Austin could provide some production at WR. He's about as fast as they come. KP already brought the guys together in Florida to do some offseason work. The offensive line played well down the stretch and now they have added talent and depth. They're going into the draft without any really glaring needs so they can focus on having another good draft. Good job, Omar, Andy, and Coach T. I'm excited for this coming season.

To say that Tomlin is an idiot is simply factually incorrect. It's abundantly clear when listening to him speak that he is not an idiot. I suspect that his IQ is way above average. One of his sons currently attends Columbia university which has an acceptance rate of 4%.

As for coaches, Austin and Flores seemed pretty damn good.

It's fair to criticize Canada's offense but I expect it to improve significantly this year.
