I think Cam should consider retiring early or we should trade him to KC. If Cam is only playing to get a ring he should just quit now cause the Steelers aren’t winning one any time soon. Cam retiring early would put a very bad taste in tomlins mouth and maybe that might change something.

I think the Rooney’s need to give tomlin one last chance. Let him finish his last year with a competent DC and O Line coach. Let Arthur smith have a second year to scheme something up for Fields and go from there.

This franchise is just as mediocre as the cowboys. We’re no different than them. In fact the cowboys have been better than us the past 10 years which is sad.

In general, I would say the 2025 QB, WR, RB, and TE positions are big questions as of right now. Najee and Russ could stay or go, but Pickens and Friermuth should be considered for trades/cuts. No more excuses for not showing up, running poor routes that fall short of the sticks. They've performed poorly in big games. Defense needs an overhaul. Waaay overpaid. We need offense. Thats where division is going, league too.

It’s almost comedic how we’ve lost the same exact way every single playoff loss. Defense is absolutely non-existent and we’re down 3 scores at the half. Like wtf 💀

Trade TJ / Minkah / Pickens and Tomlin if you can. Get however many first and second rounders as you can an start rebuilding through the draft with a different coaching staff.

I agree, Rooney wont fire Tomlin. To be realistic, Nothing will change. Only Hope we have is improved oline pkay. Maybe sign Sam Darnold... think hes a ufa

Tomlin has to be fired. Or Rooney Mandates a True OC Hire that operates Autonomously. Which we All know Tomlin wouldnt agree to

Another 8 years with ZERO playoff wins. Tomlin plays Checkers.

I love my Steelers. I only watch the Steelers, but they're making it almost impossible to watch games with any type of positivity. I literally stopped watching full games because of their poor play. I 100% agree that it's time to move on from the core players, and truly the coach. If it's his touch on both offense and defense that has allowed this ineffectual play to continue, it won't change if he's back.

@Steelers_DB You mentioned a lot the word "ceiling" in this one. Wouldn't you say Fields gives them a higher ceiling? I understand it's not always been there and the inconsistencies, but the potential with Fields is crazy. Also, what other options would they even have if they want to chase that higher ceiling? I sure as hell don't want another bum ass QB like KP on the first round just because "WE GOT TO HAVE A QB" and we've seen the offense is just very limited with Wilson at the helm. Also, what are the chances the Steelers give James Daniels another contract after we've seen the liability the right side of the line has been this season?

This team is such a bummer. I would blow it up, eat some sh!t for a season or two, and get a rebuild going. Would rather that than live in this Groundhog's Day reality.

Ben Skowronek is a nice piece that every NFL team can use. Underrated at WR too. As far as the QB, the options are an expensive old guy who isn't the answer/had the backup QB bump through 4-5 weeks & was below average at best to finish the season - or you continue to add offensive talent with a young cheap guy who also probably isn't the answer. Those are the two options, why not improve the rest of your roster rather than give half the cap to a guy who led them to 2 first downs in the first half of a playoff game? Last SB window: they had the team set before drafting their franchise QB.

"Fire Tomlin." Just say it out loud one time, DB.

When is the participation ceremony + trophies ?

Tomlin ran out of good ideas a long time ago and moved on to dumb decisions. The organization is afraid to fire him. JUST a pack of softies

I've been a Steeler fan since 72 and have witnessed the great journey like many of you. However, this is the first time I've ever seen a Steeler team end their season so listlessly! I'm curious to find out how many minutes the offense was on the field versus the defense for the entire season because the way the defense looked last night they looked like they had played twice as many minutes and were worn out by the second quarter. There's little point in analyzing another playoff loss and start to observe the many needs this team has. The immediate need is for an ass-kicking Offensive Line Coach. Mike Munchak set the bar years back and since he's left the Steelers offensive line has suffered for it. They've spent high capital picks the past two drafts on the O-Line and that unit has regressed and been in shambles going back to the last two seasons for Ben. Coaching and added depth is what's needed there. The Defensive Line needs some serious help. There's no pass rush and little run prevent pressure. This is another unit that has little depth and needs stability there. QB❓Russ needs to take a step back and become the Charlie Batch like number 2 QB the Steelers need him to be. He needs to be as supportive as Fields was towards him. Get a QB coach that can help further Fields development. Bring Najie back short term for no more than 2 years and see what he can do with an O-Line that will improve. Coach T isn't going anywhere, not after a 10 win overachievement. If anything the Defensive Coordinate Teryl Austin is OTD (out the door) for putting a tired defensive unit on the field the past 3 games. On DB: This is my second season checking out your channel and I've always appreciated your analysis. If I were to recommend anything it would be for you to try green screening your background to create an interesting look vs a plain wall. Thank you for sharing your insightful opinion, keep up the good work‼️🏈✌🏽😎

It’s all about having assistant coaches with actual ability to maximize talent.

Trade watt and minkah, and tomlin. Stock up on firsts and second round picks. not winning with them and it's a disservice wasting them here....get multiple firsts....resign fields, go get Archie manning in 2026.

Rooney is a joke keeping this HC

Tomlin simply has to go. It’s literal insanity to keep doing the same thing every year and expecting to make a playoff run.

I love ya bro but I just can't do it yet

Great breakdown, echoing the thoughts of all Steelers fans.

tj no tackles at all where did he go

I wonder how it feels for the other team when they get matched up with the Steelers in the first round. They probably get excited as hell realizing they’re getting a free playoff win.

NOTHING we did on offense meant anything. Ive never been more embarrassed being a Steeler fan

The Steelers have become prisoners of their own tradition. They believe so deeply in "their way" that the idea of change is synonymous with "tanking" or "giving up". They don't mean the same thing. I hope it finally sinks in this offseason.

Theres so much I don’t understand that it’s just like we must be stupid it’s literally astonishing.

Just disappointed man

It's totally inexcusable to have a defence paid this highly and get shredded by any good team. Good thing I guess is if this team lets all the dead weight, we have a ton of cap space to improve. I get how Tomlin will keep his job, but Austin should be gone.

This is just the ideal hypothetical what a ton of what ifs, but if it's purely a matter of getting offensive talent in the door to raise the team's ceiling. Sign Higgins as the WR draft class is not good. Pray Jeanty falls in the first round. Then you have a talented weapons group at the least. Not necessarily good, but very talented. Hope Broderick takes a step forward and Fautanu can contribute his de facto rookie year. Take a stab at getting a failed, highly drafted OT and have him compete for RG (e.g. Mekhi Becton). I have no idea what the solution is at qb (not Wilson), but I look at the lions and eagles and see a not very talented qb have elite play due to the overwhelming quality of the roster around them. This is getting a shot at having an elite offense. This changes the organizational philosophy of saying we're going to take a shot as opposed to settle for the floor.

Thanks for all the content DB. I agree with everything you said man. This team is sorry every year and is stuck.

What to do going forward. ...I'd say, continue the course going into next season. Add what we need to add, and don't mess with the talent. I like the Wilson/Fields combo. Wouldn't change much on talent. just continue to add. Now Coaching. That is another story. DC needs to be fired, IMMEDIATELY. 140 points over the last 5 games is UNACCEPTABLE. Especially with our talent. Flores got way more out of them. He leaves and its a disaster. Find another DC. No Brainer. Second, Tomlin's feet need to be held to the fire. This ending was also UNACCEPTABLE. They literally fell apart. Tomlin needs to know this can NEVER happen again. Seriously. His job needs to be on the line if he repeats. No excuse for this. Not saying we should have won all 5 games, but geez. They should have been way closer. On OC. I feel Smith is being held back. He's clearly better than this. Just look at his record in Tennessee. Tomlin maybe needs to be more hands off on offense. That's my 2 cents worth ...:)

Two things are abundantly clear. Wilson is not gonna get you to the promise land. Steelers need to do whatever it takes to get a star receiver opposite Pickens, Higgins most preferably.

Here is the offseason Plan (IMO) Sign Justin Fields and make him starter- why? he is the younger QB n the best QB for situational football (3rd Dn/RZ) Sign a true Route runner at WR- why? Cuz we are at our best when we have a guy who on 3rd n 5 is always open (D. Johnson, AB) Sign a Pure Cover Corner (or 2)- why? Cuz when its a passing situation im sick of seeing 3-Buzz cuz our corners except JPJ cant play man Sign a veteran Run Stopping 3 Tech- Why? Cuz outside of Heyward and Benton idont see anyone else inside making consistent run penetration Let Najee go n draft an RB.. preferably the Iowa RB- why? Cuz idont think he has the speed to become more than a big power back n we meed more versatile players to be less predictable These are the big ones for me

It’s kind of hard to comprehend how this team fell off a cliff after reaching 10-3, especially the defense. And the game plan last night to keep crashing in the RB and letting Lamar run wild was really poor. Had they even switched that up they could have probably caused a fumble just off surprise because they hadn’t touched him once… We also went from scoring 44 points and 30 points a game to ineptitude… I do agree we need to get that next QB and probably have to pay the penalty to get one…

Big question, so do you guys think tomlin is capable of changing organizational philosophy or does this come with a head coach change up ?

The steelers dont have the roster to beat baltimore. This outcome should not be surprising.

Team performance does not impact revenue, as owners share broadcast revenue equally, so theirs no motivation for Rooney to make changes.

What’s the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome. That’s where I feel like we are at. I don’t want Russ back, but I’d be okay with Fields because I’d like to see what he can bring to us with an improvement at OL. And for gods sake, give us something more than Van Jefferson at WR2. I’m not surprised by what we saw, but I am definitely disappointed. Let’s make some changes and try to build a team that can win in January because it’s getting hard being stuck in purgatory

It’s time to make major changes. They need to find a franchise QB asap. They have the highest paid defense in NFL and just gave up 300 yds rushing in a playoff game. The need to trade Watt and Fitzpatrick and get as many good draft picks as possible and try to build offensive side of the ball. The NFL has changed to an offensive league, but Tomlin won’t change. If they don’t make change it will be rinse and repeat next year. Tomlin made this roster heavily weighted to defense and they are not that good. He messed up and can’t undo it to have a better offensive roster and won’t change his old philosophies. He can’t compete in playoffs with such a crappy offense. If Art Rooney JR really wanted to win Super Bowls, last night would be unacceptable, but he doesn’t really care. He cares more about bragging of his long tenured coaches and just being competitive. Thanks for letting me vent. DB I definitely agree with what you are saying!

Out of our FA list besides who u mentioned, i would also keep Kazee for cheap and Fields at a reasonable cost. But DB, who would u trade?

Tomlin needs to go. He’s killing us year after year when it matters

I wish I could like this twice. This is so spot on.

We are limited

Fields is the best option. Everyone was saying the same things about Lamar in year 4 as Fields. Why pay $30-40 million on a QB when your offense is a dumpster fire? Build the offense up with elite talent. If Fields isn’t the answer your offense is setup to bring in that high dollar QB.

Do a show on coaching talent available. Like a draft show, but with coaches.

It's ok to tell Fraudlin thanks for a long mediocre run.. and move on.

So you take 2 clown QBs that others teams cut and sit here today and ask why we are losers !!!!

We need to trade highsmith
