Game Thread: WILDCARD WEEKEND

Because the Steelers fans are pointing the finger at the wrong guy. It's not Tomlin's fault the roster is not good enough, without him they don't even have the records they have putting up recently. He got pretty much everything he could get from rosters that just aren't good enough. And until they get another franchise QB this is where they will remain.

It’s Tomlin‘s fault that his teams always shit the bed down the stretch every single year because he's not actually that great of a coach anymore.

What good is finishing above .500 every year if you always crap the bed in the first game? All you do is put your team in a position to never draft the franchise QB they desperately need especially since the team seems to have to have an aversion trading up to get one.

I get both sides to this, it’s hard to win without great players, but I think just looking at Tomlin as a coach specifically there’s factors such as game-planning incorrectly, hiring the wrong coordinators and keeping the ones that struggle to adjust or adapt too long.

Ah I told @thedddd her name last night but I spelled it incorrectly because I went with the closed captioning spelling.

Yeah, I see real issues with Tomlin, too. Whiffing on Pickett really does seem like it set them back a couple of years. They've doubled down on a style that doesn't quite get the job done.

I mentioned that last night. I felt bad that I missed her name when posting the thought, she was great.

That's just it, while it's still football, the best coaches adapt to modern trends and implement them. I think that's the reason Reed is so successful, he innovates and gets fresh blood in his assistant staff and probably listens to them.

The Bills did not yet know the heartache that would ensue afterwards.

Again how is it Tomlin's fault that they have had a roster that's only good enough to finish above .500. A coach's job is to get the best out of what he has to work with and nobody has done it better than Mike Tomlin. He had winning records and made the playoffs with QBs like Pickett and Tribusky for God's sake.

Broncos RB Tyler Badie is active for the Wild Card Round against the Bills.
Badie has not played since Week 4 when he suffered a severe back injury against the Jets, but the third-year back was on the verge of looking like Denver’s RB1 before his injury. Now healthy and ready to go, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if Badie saw a significant role in his return to action given the Broncos’ backfield struggles this season. Rookie running back Audric Estime, along with Zach Wilson, running back Blake Watson, linebacker Levelle Bailey, guard Nick Gargiulo, and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike were all declared inactive for Sunday’s game.

Bills declared CB Kaiir Elam, QB Mike White, S Kareem Jackson, CB Brandon Codrington, OL Ryan Van Demark, DT DeWayne Carter, and WR Jalen Virgil inactive for the Wild Card Round against the Broncos.
Codrington was the only player listed on the team’s injury report heading into the weekend. The Bills enter Sunday’s game at near full strength as they prepare to host the Broncos for the first of three games set to go down on the second day of Wild Card Weekend.

Cause he didn't start Scotty H...

Welp, I have a Broncos fan in the family and I wouldn't mind seeing an underdog win, plus I own WalMart stock... but I hate Sean Payton.

A dilemma of who to root for, quite certainly...

A big part of the Chiefs success is their ability to raise the floor of the team to give Mahomes enough depth to outlast teams. Steelers have a ceiling problem. They dont have a Mahomes. Apples and oranges imo.

Nice cigar before all the games today

 

[Sportsguy9695]

I’ll be rooting for the rams for here on out after everything they have been through with the fires out there

 

[Think McFly Think]

A ha! Aren’t snap counts an official stat?

Seriously though, that’s pretty crazy
