The Steelers organization prides itself on it's reputation for stability and clearly they value that more than adding more Lombardis If Tomlin was on any of the other 31 teams he would've been Pete Carrolled a couple of years ago with one of those lots of praise and word gymnastics to make it...

The never having a losing season is the only thing he can hang his hat on and I don't deny he's at least a good coach but they don't give trophies for not having losing seasons. Yes he's had winning seasons with mediocre teams but he's also lost in the playoffs with teams that should've...

I've ranted about Tomlin plenty of times in many of threads so needless to say he's not the #5th best HC nor would I put him in the top 10. I don't think he's a bad coach but you can't tell me a guy that hasn't won a playoff game since 2016 is the fifth best coach in the league in the year 2024...

Hard to say how he'll do but he was on Seattle's staff for a while so he's familiar with the system and when he did join the staff in 2022 there was a dramatic improvement in terms of the amount of INTs from the defense. But you never know with these guys until they actually do it and he can be...

I'd still go with Purdy but that's more of a case that I need to see more of Love and see him do it in the playoffs. Purdy at least now has some history of being clutch in the playoffs and while he wasn't perfect in the SB his last 3 drives were go-ahead scoring drives so he did put the team in...

They have another full season to decide and since he's not recovering from major arm surgery he should have a normal offseason of work which should help him for next season. It's underappreciated because he plays like a vet but he really doesn't have a ton of starter experience with just a...

KC is an easier matchup for the 9ers than the Ravens are. That's not throwing shade on KC as it's still going to be a monumental task for the 9ers to beat them but the way the Ravens are set up is just a bigger foil than the way the Chiefs are set up.

Think it's less about making fun of air yards and more about dispelling the notion that Purdy is some game manager that dinks and dunks. For me I just bring up Mahomes when it comes to Purdy when people talk about how he'll do when he gets paid and the stats goes down because has less talent...

In the NFC the only QB I'd take over Purdy is Stafford at this time. I would listen to an argument for Love but I'd like to see if he can do what he did in the 2nd half of the season for an entire season. Hurts would be another guy I'd listen to an argument for but he only had a decent year...

Draft status plays a part in it because being drafted last is like when you see a beautiful girl or handsome guy single you assume there is a reason for it. Most people assume the magic carpet ride is going to come crashing down any minute and he's just a flash in the pan propped up by...

That's not counting how many times they've at least been to the conference game.....Or maybe I should say how many times my 9ers have lost in conference games in that span.

The way I see 4th down decisions is risk vs reward so the potential payoff better be worth what happens if you crap out. The first one I'm fine with. I think it's easy to look back and say it's dumb but given the state of the game at the time I don't think it was this terrible decision on his...

Is this one of the all-time nightmare scenarios for Raiders fans with two teams that they detest playing in their stadium for a Super Bowl title?

I'll say I don't think Campbell's decision to go for it when it was 4th and 2 with the score being 24 to 10 was an awful one. The smart play was still to take the points and make it a 3 score game but at the time you were still up 14 and you're team was rolling so trying to extend to drive to...

He relates to Purdy because he was a 5th-round pick so he knows what it's like having your draft status hanging around your neck. A lot of the points are fair though. Purdy plays well it's everyone else around him. People want to see Purdy struggle with adversity and win tough games from...

Think this game boils down to if the 9ers can be successful running the ball or not. If they are successful in running the ball they control the TOP, limit Mahomes chances, and the simple fact is the 9ers offensive line would get annihilated by the Chief's pass rush. Comparing this matchup to...

Goff had pretty much a Goff kinda game where he didn't grab the team and put them on his back to win the game but he didn't really do anything to lose the game and did enough that it wasn't his fault they lost.

Love Campbell as a coach but a lot of those gambles were just stupid. Being aggressive is great but gambles in football should be calculated risks and he forgot his calculator because he did some poor calculation on some of those gambles. Feel for the Lions fans because that's just an...

That just seems so weird to me when I thought the Chiefs were the best team this Sunday.

It would be the least likely of outcomes because both Ds are kinda of the bend don't break style so they are prone to give up some points but if both Ds shut down the run game and get pressure I could see a lot of stalled offensive drives for both teams.

Feels like it should be a 10-point 9er win something like 34-24 but for years this team usually never does what I think it'll do. They'll have blowout wins in games I think will be close and lose games I think they'll win. With these two teams you can easily make a case for this game going a...

Deebo limited at practice today so odds are really good he'll play.

Deebo's injury status is getting all the attention but the Lions' offensive line situation bears watching as well. Jackson for sure is out and maybe a Lions fan can chime in about Ragnow's status as I know he gutted out having a sprained knee and ankle and haven't heard though how serious it is...

The game highlighted all of Shanahan's faults as a coach. It was probably the right gameplan if the weather wasn't a factor which is why he likely didn't want to budge off of it but rain was forecasted all week so he really should've had a Plan B ready to go. And I'm sure Deebo getting hurt...

Weirdly the 9ers can't play the "nobody believes in us" card but Purdy somehow can. I don't think I've seen a QB who led his team on a 4th quarter game-winning drive in the playoffs get dismissed this badly. He obviously didn't play great but neither did a lot of QBs who had heroic comebacks...
