It's a marvel the dude's head doesn't rupture with that ego of his. Honestly, I'm not overly thrilled with the Steelers bringing him in, as I would have been willing to give Rudolph an extended look given how well he played at the end of last season. There is a reason why the Seahawks and...

Greene definitely put the fear of God into his opponents. They've said as such. Greene was bigger than Donald with amazing athleticism in his own right. It was a different game in Greene's era, as he had far less opportunities to rush the QB. I can understand people choosing Donald as the...

A strong case can still be made for Joe Greene (watch some of his film in the early 1970s in particular), but Donald has made it a conversation.

I don't think winning a playoff game every decade or so is asking too much. I really don't, especially from a coach that is as great as you and so many others apparently believe Tomlin to be. Prior to the current drought, his teams went five calendar years without a playoff win between...

He hasn't even won a playoff game in nearly a decade, with his teams allowing 40 points per game in their five playoff losses during that stretch. (let that sink in) Tomlin basically wasted the last decade of Roethlisberger's prime. His teams haven't done anything of relevance in a long time...

Rudolph played really well, and had the respect of the team at the end of last season. Rudolph simply would have cost the Steelers a lot more than Wilson in 2024.

I have to say that I'm feeling more optimistic about the Pirates than I have in awhile, which is not saying a lot, I know. Based on how he hit the second half of last season (.500 slugging) in conjunction with his glove, Ke'Bryan Hayes might compete for NL MVP this year. Reynolds will likely...

Ultimately, the 49ers special teams lost the game for them, with the blocked extra point and muffed punt return setting up the chiefs only TD in regulation You give Mahomes practically five quarters to beat you, and he's eventually going to do it.

At some point, the finger has to be pointed at Jerry Jones. The guy is just too demanding and overbearing as an owner and it results in excessive pressure on the coaches and players to perform in big spots whether it be late in the season or in the playoffs. Jimmy Johnson was the only coach...

Indeed. Allowing Timmy to look like Dan Marino in that playoff game was another highlight in Tomlin's tenure.

How spoiled is one really to expect a playoff win every half decade or so? I mean, seriously? There is a total disconnect between the image of Mike Tomlin the coach projected in the national media and the reality on the ground that we as Steelers fans have directly observed for years now.

I kind of anticipated this train wreck years ago, but I never really imagined it would end THIS badly for Tomlin. The inconsistencies and questionable preparation of the team have persisted for a long time, but it's starting to look like the team has flat out quit on him. I just do not see how...

He hasn't won a playoff game in 7 years. He's getting by on the reputation of going to those Superbowls early on. Not winning more over the past decade when they had Roethisberger, Bell, Brown, Pouncey and Decastro all in their primes on offense does not reflect well on Tomlin's tenure.

Matt Canada would have been fired after his first season in 2021 with most other teams. Not sure what Tomlin sees in him, but three years now with identical problems whether Ben, Trubisky or Kenny playing QB.

Burrow clearly has his mind on all that money, as it hasn't been on defenses so far this season.

I think of Mike Vick before any of those three. In addition to supreme talent, at least one could argue Vick was actually good/impactful for a time, though overhyped. He was a magician as a runner and flashed potential as a passer with that arm he had, but being focused on "other things"...

I was initially surprised to see Maddux quite that high, but I honestly cannot think of an overwhelming reason to argue against it. For him to be as dominant as he was in his era with the average hitter juiced to the gills is beyond impressive. He also did not have the advantage of a higher...

That was definitely the best team of the McNabb/Reid era. I remember being impressed with how they were able to get over the NFC title hump without Owens against the Falcons. I just think the top few AFC teams were better that year. McNabb was emotionally soft and did not handle pressure or...

Understandable, given they snuck into the playoffs and did not play great in the Superbowl. It was a pretty complete team, though. QB, running game and defense.

You can make a case for highly ranking the 2007 Patriots because they were so dominant in the regular season and went 19-0, but not number one. Maybe top 5. Not sure how the 2004 Eagles are ranked over the 2004 Patriots. Hell, I'm not sure I'd even rank them ahead of the 2004 Steelers or...

There's some reason for optimism, but it's hard to give the Pirates the benefit of the doubt, largely due to ownership. Fucker needs to sell the team. There's some talent in the rotation with Keller and Contreras. Reynolds and Cruz would potentially give them something to build around in the...

Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed it and will definitely see the third movie. I did not intend to seem overly critical of the effects. They worked overall and got me to turn my head a few times. The bedroom scene was nuts. Just pointing out that the lack of money/resources shows up in some...

Just watched Terrifier 2. The gore hounds will largely get what they expect, though the budget appears stretched at times and shows in some of the effects. The movie really had no business being over two hours long. It's like they couldn't make up their minds whether they wanted to focus more...

I'm fine with all division winners getting in, but they need to do something about the seeding. No way a team with a losing record should get a home playoff game.

Yeah, it wasn't a bad call. It's just a shitty way to end a game with playoff implications that had virtually no offense throughout. Ultimately, the Dolphins and Steelers were just competing to get ritually sacrificed to the Bills next week, but it would have been nice for Pickett to get some...
