I'm a Bills fan, and I'm nervous about the Steelers. Everyone's 0-0 again, but the fact PIT went 5-1 in that division is scary! Looking forward to Sunday!
They went 5-1 because burrow was hurt, the ravens probably have a plant sabotaging them when they play the Steelers, and the browns have a hex where they can’t start 2-0. If TJ doesn’t play bills might put up 75
You're boy reminds me of a fella we used to have under center ...You're kids faster but my God they remind me of each other...he's a Beast...... Game on
a plant, you guys have arthur m a u l e t actually he was on of ur best player, ex-Steeler he helping you out. I don't think we have any ex-Ravens at least recent ones@@z-bird9548
Brockman saying the 7th seed is just garbage and doesn't scare anyone. There was a time not long ago when there were only 6 seeds per conference and two of those ran the table to become Superbowl Champions. The 2010 Green Bay Packers and the 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers.....
The 2005 Steelers and 2010 Packers each had top 5 defenses and point differentials over +130. Those were very good teams and everyone knew it. This year's Steelers are not in that category.
Facts. Steelers can run the ball, and we (the Bills) have had a hard time with teams that pound the rock all year. This is going to be a dog fight. The best thing we can do is score early and often and force the Steelers into a shootout. Make them throw the ball and abandon the run and we will win. We also need to stop with all the stupid turnovers! Go Bills!
Pittsburgh's game plan is very simple. Run the heck out of the ball with Najee and Warren and keep Allen off the field for as long as possible, especially with Watt likely out.
After watching Allen play against Miami why would you want to keep him off the field???? He threw 2 int. and fumbled once. If it wasn't for special teams and defense the bills lose.
Chiefs fan here, yet Steelers feel like my 2nd team, a team I have tremendous respect towards their plays, their coach and their players. The team just plays in a traditional way, haters called it old school, almost a world apart from my team in terms of play on the field. Yet, this year of defensive and ground game resurgence just showed that, tradition has its place in the NFL. I love the Steelers team because of the grit, they may not be dominating, they may be the underdog, barely hanging on 90% of the time. Yet, they always find borderline magical ways to win in the most ugly fashion. They play the straightest football, no fancy scheme, not much eye candy, just straight grit, execution and shove that ol' smash mouth football right down your throat. I questioned that the scheme was outdated and cannot compete, I blamed the coaching, culture and called for change. Yet, they still make the dance, albeit needing some help and luck. This team reminds me of Mariano Rivera's cutter, you know what's coming, yet you cannot hit it. As for Tomlin, despite he is a defensive coach, his attitude on people are similar to coach Reid. Both are old-schooled, both are loyal to a fault that sometimes drive fans nuts! Yet, both are great coaches that almost every one would respect.
I'm a life-long Cincinnati fan and I can confidently say, "Mike Tomlin is a GREAT coach". I hate when the Steelers beat my Bengals, but those victories are always earned and are a direct result of Coach Tomlin's leadership!
Lol they started winning as soon as he listened to the fans instead of his ego. Fans said fire Canada, Tomlin said no, we all saw what happened when Canada got fired, Steelers got the most yards since 2018 (Against Cincinnati) Fans said put in Mason, not Mitch, Tomlin said no. But after 3 straight losses with Mitch, he finally did it, and we all saw the results. Back to back 30+ point games for the first time in forever. Not saying he's a terrible coach, he just don't know when to make the right calls and decisions. Beat the Bills earlier with ease, but the Steelers had Watt. This time they don't and they're 1-10 without Watt playing
Especially that playoff game where Tomlin coached the Bungles into completely bungling and handing us the win. What amazing coaching that was. Tomlin couldn't coach himself out of a wet paper bag.
@@LexyThomas134It has nothing to do with Tomlin’s ego. It’s how the organization is ran. Canada is the first Steelers coach to be fired midseason since the 1940’s. Let me repeat that: THE 1940’s! You think that’s an accident? The Steelers (traditionally) let things play out and make their move once things have run their course. It’s the Rooney way. And one of the reasons they are among the most successful teams in NFL history.
@@christiansmith1389 Was, those changes should've been made the 3rd straight year of doing nothing. "We want to be known as the team/organization that doesn't fire coaches" Keeping garbage people around because of "tradition" is ridiculous IMO. Took how long to get at least 400 yards again? Geesh lol
@@christiansmith1389 And yes, I understand those decisions don't come from Tomlin, but he has a mouth and could speak up. "This isn't working boss we need a change" I like Tomlin, I don't want him to be fired or anything. But when you keep getting the same results year after year something needs to change. They ride it out too long. Can't keep doing the same things year after year and expect a different result.
Steelers play in the toughest division. Hell we’re the only division with 4 teams over .500. There are teams with better records that wouldn’t survive the AFC North.
Brockman and Belicheck; Pinto ran outta gas on the Mass Turnpike and they're trudging through snow drifts and slush. If Steelers win, you promise to hit Weight Watchers in 2024.
They finally have a QB who the defenses fear the pass enough to back 8+ men out if the box. Thats why the O line and RB's are thriving... They win thise 2 games against the Cards and Pats they are a 12 win squad.
I’ve been a diehard Steeler fan since before the immaculate reception. When you look at this season, it appears to me that Mike Tomlin made the right decisions at the right time. He didn’t panic and he knows it’s not how you start…….it’s how you finish. If the Steelers can get past wild card weekend Mike Tomlin will look the coaching genius that I believe he is. And all the naysayers will get on the bandwagon. smh
@jimm6542,Right decisions😂😂?Like playing Trubisky and losing three straight games to cellar dwellers .The only reason Rudolph saw the field was because nobody else was available and the fans were embarrassing Tomlin yelling for Mason.Gotta love fans that celebrate finishing third behind two teams that didn’t have a starting qb💩
Right decisions at the RIGHT TIME?!???! You’ve got to be kidding me!! He was forced into decisions and made them at an extremely LATE time. Had he got rid of Canada sooner and benched Mitch sooner, we wouldn’t have needed help to get into the playoffs because we would be at least 11-6 instead of 10-7.
@@h4fflewhe has the best QB rating over the last 3 games.. he’s definitely doing his job scoring when he needs to & making sure it’s no turnovers while being efficient.
A vocal minority has taken over the media narrative yet again. Most Steelers fans love Tomlin and the job he has done. I am very happy to see bully ball back in the Burgh.
I wouldn't trade Coach T for any other coach in the league. I used to think the Tribune Review letters to the editor column was the proof that Western PA has a lack of intelligence problem. But after listening to the Steelers fan base the last couple years im starting to think saying lack of intelligence is way to complimentary.
Love this, Rich. Have had to look outside of the fanbase for voices of reason this year and I appreciate you riding with coach T. Mike is a big part of what makes this team great and I don’t think people saying otherwise are paying attention to the right things.
The national media just rides with the easiest storylines. I’m from Pittsburgh and most of us hate Tomlin. We don’t give af about having all those winning records in the regular season. He’s been blessed with Big Ben for so long and doesn’t know how to reconstruct a team. He doesn’t know how to make in-game changes. He doesn’t know how to beat teams when both have a lot to play for. ALWAYS out coached in big games. That’s why the Steelers only have what one playoff win in the past ten years?? Mike Tomlin is not that smart or capable as a strategist
Exactly what I said. If you don't follow the Steelers, you won't know but Nick is a baller that could be a starter elsewhere. He's been extremely productive with very limited snaps. He's the dark horse in this matchup
Dude just said he'd rather not go to the playoffs than to lose in the playoffs. That's what a coach would call loser mentality. Guy got weirdly more and more dug in until he said something silly.
@kobecoleman5882 why? Both why do you think that and why would he sarcastically say that? Are you saying the whole thing was a big ironic performance, a strawman steelers fan, and he actually agrees with Rich? If so I didn't pick up on that
Wasn’t sarcastic but definitely playing devils advocate. Most shows need to represent opposing point of view. I’ve heard people say they rather not make it to the Super Bowl at all than to play in it and lose, drives me crazy that you don’t want the opportunity to win because they are so scared of losing.
@@EquanSimmonds If they actually played like a playoff team in a playoff game, then I would agree with risking a loss. The problem is we haven't been a playoff team for years and when you get blown out in a playoff game, it doesn't really show that you belong there in the first place.
huge steeler fan... bigger bills fan.. Bills by 10... but the biggest change with the steelers that not one media expert has talked about or discovered is the fact that they made adjustments to the offensive line and the hot qb has 1.7 seconds longer to look down field and react in relation to the average time prior... The alignment between lineman has expanded in space by about 3-5 inches giving them more ability to shut down the d ends rush ...that is the major change for sure... now they have time to look down field for bigger plays and that in turn as opened up the run...
Not saying Chris is a loser and would never it is rude, but the thinking is loser mentality. I'm not going for the job because I might not get it. I am not going to ask the pretty woman on a date, she might say no. It's the difference between living with no regrets and wishing "what if" all your life. Yes Rich, better to have loved & lost!
@@shep1582 if you know you have no chance (and let's be clear, there isn't even a 1 in 1 million chance to Steelers win one game) then there's no point.
@@DavidAdarmases12 There's a chance, no chance is not being in the playoffs. Oddsmakers have them as +380 which is an implied 21% (1 in 5) chance to win. You and Chris think the same, I said how I feel. I respect your opinion, but that's not how entrepreneurs, leaders or aggressive people think. It's passive thinking , I get it.
Allen is due for a heater run he has played like crap for 5 games and yet his crap Is good enough to beat top teams don't be fooled by josh is a turnover machine he is touchdown machine
@@Davidjjr801 Steelers best idea is take the ball out of his hands and do slow drives that eat up a clock you don't do a shootout cause thats what Bills want
Where are the Giants post Eli Manning? The chargers post Rivers? The damn Patriots after Tom Brady left? Sitting at home wishing they could be as competitive as Pittsburgh has been the last two years after retiring a first ballot hof quarterback. The Steelers have as best of a shot at pulling an upset this week than anyone else does, and it speaks to just how amazing Tomlin is. You don't get to just have 18 amazing years with a quarterback and immediately be contending in the playoffs right afterwards.
@@DavidAdarmases12 2 Superbowl championships and 3 appearances, not to mention how many times they made the conference championship game. In a conference with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Pat Mahomes at the end. In a division with the Ravens who are well run, where the Bengals were good for a few years, all while never being below 500, all well basically never having a draft pick in the top 20. All while paying a quarterback top tier money, a quarterback who (as much as I love Ben) might not have been the best locker room guy at times. Yeah I'd say that they had a pretty amazing run the last 2 decades. Go ask Washington fans if they'd trade their last 20 years for what the Steelers have accomplished. Go ask Arizona or Vegas or any of the other about 20 teams in football if they'd rather have their position right now over where the Steelers are. Gtfoh with this nonsense.
@@DavidAdarmases12 notice how I was talking about where the Steelers are post Ben retiring? Post losing a first ballot hof quarterback after 18 amazing years and how every single other franchise looks after these guys retire. Tomlin has done a better job post big Ben than Bellicheck has done post Brady. Don't know what else to tell you. The fact that they are in the playoffs 2 years after losing a guy like that, and I believe have a shot to go into Buffalo and pull the upset is remarkable compared to where the other teams are after moving on from quarterbacks like that.
@@jeffeyjeffey8had a lot to do with the system. Predictable play calling and outside zone runs from shotgun formation is a nightmare for a big power back
Started 7-2, lost three straight on the verge of missing the playoffs, won 4 straight to get the 6th seed, beat the top 3 seeds in the playoffs to punch their way in the SB.
@@mrman3523and those 2 were the same as the crap he played last year 🤡 Steelers for resigning Trubowski 🤡 if you were a fan and watched the games you would see that Rusolph is a pocket passer and the oline was dogshit in 2019 and thats what the problem was 🤡 , and one more 🤡 for Tomlin not realizing that and not giving his best qb a shot
depends. Im a steeler fan and this team likes to cower in a corner when they get to overwelmed. Our defense is beyond injured. Mason looked more like mason at times last week. Only one im trying to stop on the steelers is najee. He has been on a tear the last 3 games. If he gets running the ball good yeah might be a closer game than you think but if u stop our run ull smoke us.
Nonsense. I'm a big Steelers fan, but look at Rudolph's wins: against 2 of the worst defenses in the league on 2 non-playoff teams and the Ravens' JV squad. Now we lose TJ Watt at the end of Week 18. Bills will win by 20
for Steelers Fans every game seems to be a Mental Shake Down these past several seasons every game is an Ugly one right down to the wire , we have No Blow Outs or Easy wins there all by the thinnest on margins at least the wins seem to be many have been decided by a lucky flag or a score with under 4 min left in the game , some have been flat out bad calls by the refs to deny TD's by the other team there all Train wrecks we win some and lose the ones we should have won and are always begging for help the last game of the season to get a wild card Beat Down and Tomlin in his way always finds a way to do just enough to get the Sports Media singing his praises right up til the wild card last spot gets handed to Tomlin with out having earned it again this time the Bills win secured the last wild card spot for the Doomed Steelers and for a week the Sport Media crowns Tomlin a King and then the wild card game is played and Tomlin is left standing there with a 40 Burger stuffed down his neck Mumbling "Never a Losing Season" with a Fresh 40 Burger still stuffed in his mouth and the Sports Media narrative turns to words of Heroic Achievement and they start the BS Hype for a Head Coach who was just Dog Walked out of the Playoffs , So Nothing ever changes just where the 40 Burgers happen at Because there Never at Home for any Wild card games , Because they Never Earn a spot they get that last spot as a Gift and then get Flogged after a whirlwind of Smoke and hype
Rich is right. If your in, you always have a chance. Steelers already did it once! Bottom seed in the playoffs and won the Super Bowl. They are playing in Buffalo where weather could be a factor and the Steelers have been running the ball like crazy. I definitely think they have a chance even with watt out. Minka will be back, kazee, both linebackers that rotate for watt have proven to be decent, when before they didn’t have that. With Mason the offense has looked miles better!! All I’m saying is if they keep it close into the 4th…… I think they can shock some people.
Allen will be the first Starter the Steelers have faced in 6 weeks not a good thing and there leaving that part out for a reason because they know the Steelers are going to be perp walked up and down the field and there narrative can stand up to reality Tomlin Sucks
@@user-nc8ef4ee6d w Seattle had their starting qb in, and prior to the Steelers playing the bengals, they had won a bunch of games in a row and thier qb was playing good. All I’m saying is, anything can happen especially if the weather is a factor. Should the bills win, yes, will they most likely win, yes, but can the Steelers win? Can they pull an upset? I think absolutely yes.
Rich, thank you I'm not a Steelers fan, but appreciate excellence. I say this often. Jim Caldwell, replacing the woeful Jim Schwartz with the Lions had three out of four winning seasons and made the playoffs twice and they fired him. They didn't get back to a winning record until six years later. Yes, be careful what you ask for!
So how many more years of mediocrity should we go through before we are allowed to ask to move on from Tomlin and not be called spoiled or insane? I understand that you as a Lion's fan have no concept of actual expectations for excellence, so it's difficult for you to grasp where our heads are at.
@@Orxbane LOL! Should we cry for you now? Last superbowl win 2008, last time in superbowl 2010, last time in Conference Championship game 2016!! In the playoffs the last three out of four years. Give me a break, so freaking spoiled. You a Yankees fan too? I know sports history so I knew about Caldwell and actually am a Cowboys fans. Last time we won 1995, last conference championship game 1995. It is, what it is. So can you stop, ok! Most franchises would be envious of your appearance to win it all. Stop whining and enjoy the playoffs AGAIN!! Or maybe you're one of those Steelers fans praying you lose, so you can say, see I was right. LOL! PS: Most of my buddies are Jets & Giants fans, so if you want a little cheese with that whine, let the rest of us know. You might not want it, but I wish y'all luck anyway.
@@Orxbane Ok your true colors (pun intended) come out. LOL!! Does that mean I can't respect Bellichick & Carroll equally as I said in another posting here. No factual retort, just insults, ok. I respect ALL people who show respect, but you unfortunately epitomize our country today. Regardless, I wish you & yours well. God help us all.
It will be a close game. Rudolph is smooth and cool. You won’t see an interception. Josh Allen is an interception machine. That may be the Steeler’s saving grace. I’ll root for Buffalo to go the whole way if they win, though. Love that fan base!!
@@vdoggydogg3922agree with you if minkah and TJ are out. Run game is much improved to try and play keep away but the injuries on defense have been killer. Lost both starting inside linebackers and top three safeties. Had to move Pat P to safety and bring Myles Jack out of retirement just to get here. I’m holding out hope that my Steelers can pull off something special but definitely tempering expectations
Rudolph is def NOT smooth. And he will turnover it over as much as Allen. Except Allen has a really good D..that carries him to wins unlike Rudolph 💁♂️
@@newagain9964you don’t watch football yall defense definitely not better than the Steelers 😂 we got better WR and Rb and front runner for DPOY (Watt) all you have is Josh Allen that’s never done anything 🤷♂️

BB Mafia here, We can never sleep on any NFL team, and especially the Steelers. They are extremely well coached! We can't let our guard down for a minute! Then hope to hell everything goes right!! Go Bills! --gary
Honestly, I’m a die hard Steelers fan. I’m 36 and can only remember off the top of my head a couple times we have had meaningless games at the end of the season. We literally get to watch games with real implications until the end of the year. I honestly can not imagine watching a team that has nothing to play for. Do we get off to slow starts sometimes and end up 2-6 yes…. There is still hope!!! And it lasts until the final game. Are there times where we are dominant over half the season and falter at the end, but still have a chance. YES! What more can a fan hope for other than just having opportunity. That’s what Steelers fans have. There is always a chance. There is always hope. It’s not likely this year, but guess what…. We have a chance!!!!
Any time the black n gold makes the playoffs they have a chance. They were the first team in history to go on the road every game of the playoffs and win the SB. As a Steeler fan I am far more comfortable going into the playoffs as an underdog.
Here's a fact of the day: since Mike Tomlin became head coach of the Steelers, they've only played one regular season game already eliminated from playoff contention. Every other year, the Steelers have either clinched the playoffs or were in the hunt.
Canadian Steelers fan here!!! Just made the trip to seattle with my bro and I m not worried I think rich is on point! This team won’t just give up without tj for a week. We go in the league should on notice
Let's be honest here. If KP was the starter, why isn't he starting? Hot Hand....ROFL Bullsh%t. Hot Hand went out the window after Seattle. KP never grasped what the Steelers were trying to do. The reason Rudolph is having the success he is having is because he fits this offense AND gets what they are doing. This offense was built for a QB who stays in the pocket, is fairly accurate, can throw a long ball if needed, and most importantly, is able to read a defense. Rudolph checks all of the boxes. KP doesn't, and won't next season either. The offensive scheme is to take Najee and JW and run the ball down the opponents throats, until they start crowding the line, then to burn them when they do. Easy slant passes to the correct WR or TE and let them get the yards for you. This backs them off, and then you continue to run the ball time after time. There's 2 backs, so you don't wear them out. 4th quarter, opposing defense is exhausted. Your defense is not. The opposing offense is desperate for points. That's when mistakes occur. One good INT and its over. Lights out. Steelers offense is ALL HEALTHY right now, and Rudolph is going to continue to run, run, run, then burn them when they crowd the line. This game is over. Bills are going to lose. Count on it. Steelers going to the Super Bowl after they beat Ravens for the third time. ;)
We're thrilled about the Steelers being in the playoffs. Really we are. But the bottom line is this: Tomlin was hired to was hired to win Lombardis, not seasons.
The problem for fans who root for the Steelers is we're used to greatness. So when a coach makes questionable calls like sticking with Canada or Trubisky way, way past the best by date, Steelers fans notice. I'd still rather my team be too loyal than too wishy washy.
is a gifted Wild card last spot the "Mix" i wonder how Tomlin will fair having to face a Starting QB this week Allen isnt a Back up that Tomlin been up against the past weeks , i wonder if Tomlin can Mumble "Never a Losing Season " with a Fresh 40 Burger stuck down his neck. im sure the sports media will do it for him No Worries it will all be over soon enough
Rich. PLEASEEEE stop saying Steeler fans want Tomlin gone. Real devoted fans would never want him gone. The ones u hear sayig that arent Steeler fans. Stop making us sound like an ungrateful and disappointed fan base. I am so proud of them I could burst.
They are out of their frigging minds but that is giving them credit for having one. Nothing but love, admiration, and respect for Coach Tomlin. I will listen to TJ Watt and other professional NFL players who say they'd go through a wall for him rather than a bunch of whining nobodys sitting on a couch or overpaid media-talking heads!
Remember in 2005 when the Steelers just barely got into the playoffs and everyone said they weren't gonna win any games and they won the Superbowl? By Brockman's logic once you lose 5 games you should just quit and go home.
Please tell me your team, you know the one that wins all the time (10+ W’s/year) always in the playoffs and always knocking on the door of another championship even through aging and/or rookie QB’s. Please, cause I’m not familiar with that team. I prefer the Steeler way of loyalty which may mean keeping coaches or HOF QB’s a little too long as opposed to the Bill Belicheat way of kicking people to the curb too soon trying to time the market. Or the NFC South way of changing coaches every other year. No thank you, you can keep that.
Give Tomlin props. He made the right decisions to make it to 10-7 and make it to the playoffs. There are 18 teams that would love to take the Steelers place and even more teams that would love to have Tomlin as their H.C. Why does it seem like Chris is not a half empty kind of guy, but a that glass is half full, slightly discolored, and the water's slightly cloudy?
He directly cost them two games by not playing his best QB and let the best QB on his roster sit on the bench all year until he was absolutely forced to play him.
@@crowjones78 Looking from the outside in, it does appear that's what Tomlin did. I will point out, however that Tomlin, being the HC and all, has a much better vantage point and experience to determine if a player is ready or not. Since he's not talking about his decision making we'll never know why he waited.
Mike Tomlin has gone to 2 Super Bowls and won 1. No losing seasons in 17 seasons. I would trade for that success as a Raider fan. The stupid sidekick on the show dismisses this as if it is nothing.
@@ReelRobFishing I hope you are wrong, but it is looking that way. However I was for them starting mason after ben retired and I was very surprised they drafted kenny. I did not see that coming just based on their history. 1980 they draft mark malone bradshaw retires in 83 and malone starts. I honestly thought that is what was going to happen.
@@ReelRobFishinglets be clear, kenny picket has a better winning % than any other QB on this roster. Mason Rudolph (while I am thankful of the recent developments) is not a starting QB in the NFL and wont be that in 2024. This Team is Picketts next yr and that will determine whether or not he’s a bust.
As a seahawks fan, shame on all y’all in PIT callin for MT’s job.. I wish we were in the playoffs, but I still love Pete as our ball coach. Great coaches like both those guys are hard to find. People call for jobs like good coaches are right around the corner. As long as you get to the second season you got a chance!
The problem with Tomlin is 0 playoff wins since 2016, and it’s often because he makes the same mistakes over and over again. Can just get real frustrating as a Steelers fan. He’s great, but refuses to improve
5-1 in the toughest division in The NFL! Jamar Chase is better than Diggs (my opinion), Lamar is better than Josh (my opinion), Cleveland’s Defense is better than Buffalo’s Defense, we have played the best and beat the best This year! HERE WE GO!!!!
Minus the qb position these teams match up well alot closer then most think i got a feeling if josh shows up in his prime form then my steelers going to have a tough day but if the run game working and mason can stay clean I can see it being a fight to the finish!
Tomlin actually made it more difficult for Steelers to get in. He buried Rudolph 2 and a half years ago..his hand was forced to play him when ge could've started him 3 weeks ago
@@jimmorrison8477 You are aware that the Pittsburgh Steelers have the 2nd most super bowl wins in the NFL since 2006 right? So the whole “they haven’t done anything lately” logic doesn’t really work unless you are saying that is true for every team that isn’t New England
All the teams in the AFC playoffs have some exploitable weakness. The game plan the coaching staff puts together and the way the defense performs will determine the winner. Steelers may surprise everyone with the run game being so solid and Mason taking shots to GP and DJ. To me, they need to get the TEs more involved to balance the field out more.
Rich, the “so what” is that we’ve done this song and dance before with the Steelers sneaking into the playoffs and then getting eviscerated. The Chiefs kicked our teeth in and and the Browns were up 28-0. Why should this time be different from those times?
So many teams and franchises can not even see themselves going to the playoffs every season. Steelers make the playoffs and have 17 straight winning seasons. LOTS of fans would love to be in your shoes. Let us please be spoiled and feel comfortable knowing we have a winning coach!!! Release Tomlin!!!! We'll gladly take him in Atlanta!!!
Poor Chris. Bills - 4 Super Bowls 0-4. I took Steelers +10 points early for $1100. Rich is correct. The hot team right now is the Steelers and they know how to play against the Bills. They're not getting smashed Chris. Analysts don't know anything when they speak that's why you always do the opposite of what they predict and say. Free money this Sunday! Count it!
The fact of the matter is that you cannot win a Super Bowl without making the playoffs so the Steelers have a higher chance of winning the Super Bowl this year than the colts do.
Colts have a first year Head coach the Steelers Clown has been around 17 years not a fair assessment , besides this time around the Steelers wont be facing a Back Up QB they have to Play "That Man " this wont end well for the Steelers But the Sports Media likes Tomlin so they wont say a lot but man i can still See Tomlin mumbling "Never a Losing Season " with a Fresh Josh Allen 40 Burger stuffed down his neck and the Sports Media in Lock Step calling Tomlin a GOAT ha ha ha
The stat about Watt being in or out of the game is old. Last year, they had no depth at edge. This year, losing Watt hurts but not nearly as bad as last year. Golden and Herbig will step up.
Rich is right about making the playoffs. That's all that matter is making the playoffs because anything can happen in a one game elimination situation. Whether it's an injury to a starting QB, a blocked punt, punt return for a TD, bad weather etc.
Tomlin is winning games because he was basically forced to do the things fans have been begging for him to do: 1) Fire Canada, who he stubbornly held on to for a season too long and 2) Bench Trubisky. We all knew Mitch was a disaster. But Tomlin started him for 3 straight games. These are all Tomlin created problems but now he gets credit for fixing them?
@@Mr_Fairdale so if a drug addict gets clean does he not get the credit for getting clean? It sounds like you just wanna complain about Tomlin without acknowledging that he did what you wanted.
@@TheMrob25 he _reluctantly_ fired Canada after two years of inept offense and the fans chanting "FIRE CANADA" for weeks. He was the last man on earth to see it. But sure give him all the credit.
Was having this very same arguement with a pittsburgh friend of mine. They are so spoiled with top level coaches throughout their history. They don't know what it's like to be in the bottom of the barrel like some of us.
10-7.
5-1 in the toughest division in the league.
Anyone saying Tomlin out is a fraud fan.
with 3 different QBs that will probably end up being perennial back ups.
Go home Linda, sleep it off.
He'll be one n done like he does best and you can bet your life on it!!
Top organization, best draft pick staff.some say he does not get enough wins with the talent handed to him.
Tomlin MUST go.. because we need a good HC in Atlanta
He's out 😂
That Brockman guy just seems salty to call a playoff team garbage when your team went 4-13 is wild
no doubt. his judgement is all based on pure emotion. dont know why a pats fan would feel like that towards the steelers , who the pats owned.

I'm a Bills fan, and I'm nervous about the Steelers. Everyone's 0-0 again, but the fact PIT went 5-1 in that division is scary! Looking forward to Sunday!
They went 5-1 because burrow was hurt, the ravens probably have a plant sabotaging them when they play the Steelers, and the browns have a hex where they can’t start 2-0. If TJ doesn’t play bills might put up 75

Brockman saying the 7th seed is just garbage and doesn't scare anyone. There was a time not long ago when there were only 6 seeds per conference and two of those ran the table to become Superbowl Champions. The 2010 Green Bay Packers and the 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers.....
And the giant, Eli manning did it also and beat a undefeated patriots team.
The 2005 Steelers and 2010 Packers each had top 5 defenses and point differentials over +130. Those were very good teams and everyone knew it.
This year's Steelers are not in that category.
@@mrcnub Doesn't change the fact they were 6 seeds.
@@silntstl And it also doesn't change the fact that all of the teams that have claimed the 7 seeds have been garbage.
The 2005 who? Hmmm
Facts. Steelers can run the ball, and we (the Bills) have had a hard time with teams that pound the rock all year. This is going to be a dog fight. The best thing we can do is score early and often and force the Steelers into a shootout. Make them throw the ball and abandon the run and we will win. We also need to stop with all the stupid turnovers! Go Bills!
Man I am a Steelers fan and I can tell that you know your football. I agree with your take on the game totally.
1000 percent true
Your argument has a solid foundation unlike those 2 bold men combined.

Weather looking to favor Steelers too
Brockman sure seems testy with that 4-13 hanging around his neck.
Nah
Pittsburgh's game plan is very simple. Run the heck out of the ball with Najee and Warren and keep Allen off the field for as long as possible, especially with Watt likely out.
And it won’t work
@johnbennett1729 can you see the future?
Sound like a great plan
After watching Allen play against Miami why would you want to keep him off
the field???? He threw 2 int. and fumbled once. If it wasn't for special teams
and defense the bills lose.
Cool plan...
Chiefs fan here, yet Steelers feel like my 2nd team, a team I have tremendous respect towards their plays, their coach and their players. The team just plays in a traditional way, haters called it old school, almost a world apart from my team in terms of play on the field. Yet, this year of defensive and ground game resurgence just showed that, tradition has its place in the NFL. I love the Steelers team because of the grit, they may not be dominating, they may be the underdog, barely hanging on 90% of the time. Yet, they always find borderline magical ways to win in the most ugly fashion. They play the straightest football, no fancy scheme, not much eye candy, just straight grit, execution and shove that ol' smash mouth football right down your throat. I questioned that the scheme was outdated and cannot compete, I blamed the coaching, culture and called for change. Yet, they still make the dance, albeit needing some help and luck. This team reminds me of Mariano Rivera's cutter, you know what's coming, yet you cannot hit it. As for Tomlin, despite he is a defensive coach, his attitude on people are similar to coach Reid. Both are old-schooled, both are loyal to a fault that sometimes drive fans nuts! Yet, both are great coaches that almost every one would respect.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm a life-long Cincinnati fan and I can confidently say, "Mike Tomlin is a GREAT coach". I hate when the Steelers beat my Bengals, but those victories are always earned and are a direct result of Coach Tomlin's leadership!
Lol they started winning as soon as he listened to the fans instead of his ego. Fans said fire Canada, Tomlin said no, we all saw what happened when Canada got fired, Steelers got the most yards since 2018 (Against Cincinnati)
Fans said put in Mason, not Mitch, Tomlin said no. But after 3 straight losses with Mitch, he finally did it, and we all saw the results. Back to back 30+ point games for the first time in forever. Not saying he's a terrible coach, he just don't know when to make the right calls and decisions. Beat the Bills earlier with ease, but the Steelers had Watt. This time they don't and they're 1-10 without Watt playing
Especially that playoff game where Tomlin coached the Bungles into completely bungling and handing us the win. What amazing coaching that was. Tomlin couldn't coach himself out of a wet paper bag.
@@LexyThomas134It has nothing to do with Tomlin’s ego. It’s how the organization is ran. Canada is the first Steelers coach to be fired midseason since the 1940’s. Let me repeat that: THE 1940’s! You think that’s an accident?
The Steelers (traditionally) let things play out and make their move once things have run their course. It’s the Rooney way. And one of the reasons they are among the most successful teams in NFL history.
@@christiansmith1389 Was, those changes should've been made the 3rd straight year of doing nothing.
"We want to be known as the team/organization that doesn't fire coaches"
Keeping garbage people around because of "tradition" is ridiculous IMO. Took how long to get at least 400 yards again? Geesh lol
@@christiansmith1389 And yes, I understand those decisions don't come from Tomlin, but he has a mouth and could speak up. "This isn't working boss we need a change"
I like Tomlin, I don't want him to be fired or anything. But when you keep getting the same results year after year something needs to change. They ride it out too long. Can't keep doing the same things year after year and expect a different result.
Brockman coping with his patriots being in the gutter and Steelers still riding high.

Steelers play in the toughest division. Hell we’re the only division with 4 teams over .500. There are teams with better records that wouldn’t survive the AFC North.
@@steelersluvLike San Francisco who lost to every team in the north except for Steelers and that's only cuz we played them 1st.

Steelers blow bro
They finally have a QB who the defenses fear the pass enough to back 8+ men out if the box. Thats why the O line and RB's are thriving... They win thise 2 games against the Cards and Pats they are a 12 win squad.
I’ve been a diehard Steeler fan since before the immaculate reception. When you look at this season, it appears to me that Mike Tomlin made the right decisions at the right time. He didn’t panic and he knows it’s not how you start…….it’s how you finish. If the Steelers can get past wild card weekend Mike Tomlin will look the coaching genius that I believe he is. And all the naysayers will get on the bandwagon. smh

Right decisions at the RIGHT TIME?!???! You’ve got to be kidding me!! He was forced into decisions and made them at an extremely LATE time. Had he got rid of Canada sooner and benched Mitch sooner, we wouldn’t have needed help to get into the playoffs because we would be at least 11-6 instead of 10-7.
Zero credit to Mason Rudolph from this desk. Shameful. He is arguably the hottest QB entering the playoffs.
hottest in game managing or what exactly? The O-Line and the Run Game is doing the work, let's be clear.
@@h4fflewhe has the best QB rating over the last 3 games.. he’s definitely doing his job scoring when he needs to & making sure it’s no turnovers while being efficient.
@@h4fflew You obviously haven't watched any of Mason Rudolph this year. He isn't managing anything. He's balling out with big and aggressive plays.

I wouldn't trade Coach T for any other coach in the league. I used to think the Tribune Review letters to the editor column was the proof that Western PA has a lack of intelligence problem.

They pay attention to all the right things, that's how they know. He sucks!
The national media just rides with the easiest storylines. I’m from Pittsburgh and most of us hate Tomlin. We don’t give af about having all those winning records in the regular season. He’s been blessed with Big Ben for so long and doesn’t know how to reconstruct a team. He doesn’t know how to make in-game changes. He doesn’t know how to beat teams when both have a lot to play for. ALWAYS out coached in big games. That’s why the Steelers only have what one playoff win in the past ten years?? Mike Tomlin is not that smart or capable as a strategist

@@Ledpooplin55 I mean I thought so. Tone sounds like that to me. They've done it before
Wasn’t sarcastic but definitely playing devils advocate. Most shows need to represent opposing point of view. I’ve heard people say they rather not make it to the Super Bowl at all than to play in it and lose, drives me crazy that you don’t want the opportunity to win because they are so scared of losing.
@@EquanSimmonds If they actually played like a playoff team in a playoff game, then I would agree with risking a loss. The problem is we haven't been a playoff team for years and when you get blown out in a playoff game, it doesn't really show that you belong there in the first place.
huge steeler fan... bigger bills fan.. Bills by 10... but the biggest change with the steelers that not one media expert has talked about or discovered is the fact that they made adjustments to the offensive line and the hot qb has 1.7 seconds longer to look down field and react in relation to the average time prior... The alignment between lineman has expanded in space by about 3-5 inches giving them more ability to shut down the d ends rush ...that is the major change for sure... now they have time to look down field for bigger plays and that in turn as opened up the run...
and there also not mentioning the steelers havent faced a Starting QB in several week they have mostly been Back Ups and lost many of them games

Amazing years? Hahahahahaahahahahahahahahaahaha
@@DavidAdarmases12 2 Superbowl championships and 3 appearances, not to mention how many times they made the conference championship game. In a conference with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Pat Mahomes at the end. In a division with the Ravens who are well run, where the Bengals were good for a few years, all while never being below 500, all well basically never having a draft pick in the top 20. All while paying a quarterback top tier money, a quarterback who (as much as I love Ben) might not have been the best locker room guy at times. Yeah I'd say that they had a pretty amazing run the last 2 decades. Go ask Washington fans if they'd trade their last 20 years for what the Steelers have accomplished. Go ask Arizona or Vegas or any of the other about 20 teams in football if they'd rather have their position right now over where the Steelers are. Gtfoh with this nonsense.

Rich is right. If your in, you always have a chance. Steelers already did it once! Bottom seed in the playoffs and won the Super Bowl. They are playing in Buffalo where weather could be a factor and the Steelers have been running the ball like crazy. I definitely think they have a chance even with watt out. Minka will be back, kazee, both linebackers that rotate for watt have proven to be decent, when before they didn’t have that. With Mason the offense has looked miles better!! All I’m saying is if they keep it close into the 4th…… I think they can shock some people.

Seattle had their starting qb in, and prior to the Steelers playing the bengals, they had won a bunch of games in a row and thier qb was playing good.

Honestly, I’m a die hard Steelers fan. I’m 36 and can only remember off the top of my head a couple times we have had meaningless games at the end of the season. We literally get to watch games with real implications until the end of the year. I honestly can not imagine watching a team that has nothing to play for. Do we get off to slow starts sometimes and end up 2-6 yes…. There is still hope!!! And it lasts until the final game. Are there times where we are dominant over half the season and falter at the end, but still have a chance. YES! What more can a fan hope for other than just having opportunity. That’s what Steelers fans have. There is always a chance. There is always hope. It’s not likely this year, but guess what…. We have a chance!!!!
Any time the black n gold makes the playoffs they have a chance. They were the first team in history to go on the road every game of the playoffs and win the SB. As a Steeler fan I am far more comfortable going into the playoffs as an underdog.
Here's a fact of the day: since Mike Tomlin became head coach of the Steelers, they've only played one regular season game already eliminated from playoff contention. Every other year, the Steelers have either clinched the playoffs or were in the hunt.

Thank you Rich.
Let's be honest here. If KP was the starter, why isn't he starting? Hot Hand....ROFL Bullsh%t. Hot Hand went out the window after Seattle. KP never grasped what the Steelers were trying to do. The reason Rudolph is having the success he is having is because he fits this offense AND gets what they are doing. This offense was built for a QB who stays in the pocket, is fairly accurate, can throw a long ball if needed, and most importantly, is able to read a defense. Rudolph checks all of the boxes. KP doesn't, and won't next season either.
The offensive scheme is to take Najee and JW and run the ball down the opponents throats, until they start crowding the line, then to burn them when they do. Easy slant passes to the correct WR or TE and let them get the yards for you. This backs them off, and then you continue to run the ball time after time. There's 2 backs, so you don't wear them out. 4th quarter, opposing defense is exhausted. Your defense is not. The opposing offense is desperate for points. That's when mistakes occur. One good INT and its over. Lights out. Steelers offense is ALL HEALTHY right now, and Rudolph is going to continue to run, run, run, then burn them when they crowd the line. This game is over. Bills are going to lose. Count on it. Steelers going to the Super Bowl after they beat Ravens for the third time. ;)
We're thrilled about the Steelers being in the playoffs. Really we are. But the bottom line is this: Tomlin was hired to was hired to win Lombardis, not seasons.
Rudolf gave us an xmas miracle lets hope it keeps going
No
The problem for fans who root for the Steelers is we're used to greatness. So when a coach makes questionable calls like sticking with Canada or Trubisky way, way past the best by date, Steelers fans notice. I'd still rather my team be too loyal than too wishy washy.
I'm from Pittsburgh and our running attack will be the factor on teams that are in our path.
I’m a Steeler fan, and I get that “making the playoffs” isn’t considered a success…that being said…10-7 w/ this team is incredible.
Been critical of Tomlin and he drags his feet sometimes but I'll give credit where credit is due and he's consistently in the mix.
is a gifted Wild card last spot the "Mix" i wonder how Tomlin will fair having to face a Starting QB this week Allen isnt a Back up that Tomlin been up against the past weeks , i wonder if Tomlin can Mumble "Never a Losing Season " with a Fresh 40 Burger stuck down his neck. im sure the sports media will do it for him No Worries it will all be over soon enough
Rich. PLEASEEEE stop saying Steeler fans want Tomlin gone. Real devoted fans would never want him gone. The ones u hear sayig that arent Steeler fans. Stop making us sound like an ungrateful and disappointed fan base. I am so proud of them I could burst.
They are out of their frigging minds but that is giving them credit for having one. Nothing but love, admiration, and respect for Coach Tomlin. I will listen to TJ Watt and other professional NFL players who say they'd go through a wall for him rather than a bunch of whining nobodys sitting on a couch or overpaid media-talking heads!
Remember in 2005 when the Steelers just barely got into the playoffs and everyone said they weren't gonna win any games and they won the Superbowl?
By Brockman's logic once you lose 5 games you should just quit and go home.
Keep Tomlin if you want to continue to be medicore. Win 9 or 10 games a year, maybe make the playoffs and continue to be one and done.
Please tell me your team, you know the one that wins all the time (10+ W’s/year) always in the playoffs and always knocking on the door of another championship even through aging and/or rookie QB’s. Please, cause I’m not familiar with that team. I prefer the Steeler way of loyalty which may mean keeping coaches or HOF QB’s a little too long as opposed to the Bill Belicheat way of kicking people to the curb too soon trying to time the market. Or the NFC South way of changing coaches every other year. No thank you, you can keep that.
As a Bills fan, I love this William and Mary Bowl. All due respect to both teams.
🎯 good luck ⚫️🟡
Give Tomlin props. He made the right decisions to make it to 10-7 and make it to the playoffs. There are 18 teams that would love to take the Steelers place and even more teams that would love to have Tomlin as their H.C.
Why does it seem like Chris is not a half empty kind of guy, but a that glass is half full, slightly discolored, and the water's slightly cloudy?
He directly cost them two games by not playing his best QB and let the best QB on his roster sit on the bench all year until he was absolutely forced to play him.
@@crowjones78 Looking from the outside in, it does appear that's what Tomlin did. I will point out, however that Tomlin, being the HC and all, has a much better vantage point and experience to determine if a player is ready or not. Since he's not talking about his decision making we'll never know why he waited.
Mike Tomlin has gone to 2 Super Bowls and won 1. No losing seasons in 17 seasons. I would trade for that success as a Raider fan. The stupid sidekick on the show dismisses this as if it is nothing.
Let's be clear. Kenny Pickett has been benched.
If JA got hurt, and the backup went in and did okay, JA would still go back in after the injury.
let's be clear Kenny Pickett is a bust
@@ReelRobFishing I hope you are wrong, but it is looking that way. However I was for them starting mason after ben retired and I was very surprised they drafted kenny. I did not see that coming just based on their history. 1980 they draft mark malone bradshaw retires in 83 and malone starts. I honestly thought that is what was going to happen.
Rudolph’s QBR over each of his last three starts have been better than all of Pickett’s NFL career.
@@ReelRobFishinglets be clear, kenny picket has a better winning % than any other QB on this roster. Mason Rudolph (while I am thankful of the recent developments) is not a starting QB in the NFL and wont be that in 2024. This Team is Picketts next yr and that will determine whether or not he’s a bust.
@@bane1240let's be clear....on the Steelers Mason has a way better td- int than any Qb on the team.
Where’s the Buffalo Bills Banners? Lol😂
As a seahawks fan, shame on all y’all in PIT callin for MT’s job.. I wish we were in the playoffs, but I still love Pete as our ball coach. Great coaches like both those guys are hard to find. People call for jobs like good coaches are right around the corner. As long as you get to the second season you got a chance!
The problem with Tomlin is 0 playoff wins since 2016, and it’s often because he makes the same mistakes over and over again. Can just get real frustrating as a Steelers fan. He’s great, but refuses to improve
@@thequeen901 if for some reason Mike T lost his job in 2016, I'd be willing to bet we'd have zero playoff APPEARANCES to this date
But you’re not in the playoffs 😂
sorry but Pete has left the building
5-1 in the toughest division in The NFL! Jamar Chase is better than Diggs (my opinion), Lamar is better than Josh (my opinion), Cleveland’s Defense is better than Buffalo’s Defense, we have played the best and beat the best This year! HERE WE GO!!!!
Minus the qb position these teams match up well alot closer then most think i got a feeling if josh shows up in his prime form then my steelers going to have a tough day but if the run game working and mason can stay clean I can see it being a fight to the finish!
Steelers played against a Lot of Back Up QB this year
Tomlin actually made it more difficult for Steelers to get in. He buried Rudolph 2 and a half years ago..his hand was forced to play him when ge could've started him 3 weeks ago
I mean week 13** instead of Trubisky
Ok coach. 😅😅😅
@@my98-ot7jj facts hurt you?
@@rwcrsarrc F U COACH OF NO TEAM 😂 😂
60k fans at the game chanting for Rudolph to play agree
The NFL is the by far the biggest game of gotcha ever. Any team can be great any day. Go Steelers! Bills don't know what's coming!
You know Chris only follows the trends when he tries taking a shot at Tomlin for 17 winning seasons.. how awful he’s won 17 years in a row..
wow so a winning record big deal its the NFL its about how many superbowls have you won and when was your last one !!! or didnt you get the memo ???
@@jimmorrison8477 You are aware that the Pittsburgh Steelers have the 2nd most super bowl wins in the NFL since 2006 right?
So the whole “they haven’t done anything lately” logic doesn’t really work unless you are saying that is true for every team that isn’t New England
@@consolewarbot9107 LOL you tell yourself whatever you like to be ok with a joke of a coach LOL
The Championship 2005 Steelers were the last seed.
Herbig is really good
All the teams in the AFC playoffs have some exploitable weakness. The game plan the coaching staff puts together and the way the defense performs will determine the winner. Steelers may surprise everyone with the run game being so solid and Mason taking shots to GP and DJ. To me, they need to get the TEs more involved to balance the field out more.
Bills fan - I think we are in for a dog fight.
Yes,but the Steelers are 1-10 without Watt ,I think the Bills d line is going to feast on the Steelers o-line
Well said Rich, well said!!
How can anyone describe a team with 10-7 record "garbage "!? He must be clown 🤡
Brockman proved why he’ll never be more than a semi assistant with this clip
Hey rich i thought you were so confident the bills got this one in the bag. Which is it?
Rich, the “so what” is that we’ve done this song and dance before with the Steelers sneaking into the playoffs and then getting eviscerated. The Chiefs kicked our teeth in and and the Browns were up 28-0. Why should this time be different from those times?
Tomlin last 4 playoff games giving up avg of 40+ points. This looks like it may be 5th game.
Steelernation 🔥
Indivisible. 👍
I’ll be the first to admit I got down on Coach, but he’s the craftiest slickest devil in the NFL and I appreciate him😎
MIKE T GETTING THE BOYS BUSSIN
I'm sorry. how many banners do the Bills have? can you remind me please?
So many teams and franchises can not even see themselves going to the playoffs every season. Steelers make the playoffs and have 17 straight winning seasons. LOTS of fans would love to be in your shoes. Let us please be spoiled and feel comfortable knowing we have a winning coach!!! Release Tomlin!!!! We'll gladly take him in Atlanta!!!
20 straight winning seasons.....Its Tomlin that has 17 of them
That doesn’t equate to SBs that’s called mediocre 👍🏼
Poor Chris. Bills - 4 Super Bowls 0-4. I took Steelers +10 points early for $1100. Rich is correct. The hot team right now is the Steelers and they know how to play against the Bills. They're not getting smashed Chris. Analysts don't know anything when they speak that's why you always do the opposite of what they predict and say. Free money this Sunday! Count it!
Why do people act like making the playoffs is a ring. FoH we need more in Pittsburgh
The fact of the matter is that you cannot win a Super Bowl without making the playoffs so the Steelers have a higher chance of winning the Super Bowl this year than the colts do.
Colts have a first year Head coach the Steelers Clown has been around 17 years not a fair assessment , besides this time around the Steelers wont be facing a Back Up QB they have to Play "That Man " this wont end well for the Steelers But the Sports Media likes Tomlin so they wont say a lot but man i can still See Tomlin mumbling "Never a Losing Season " with a Fresh Josh Allen 40 Burger stuffed down his neck and the Sports Media in Lock Step calling Tomlin a GOAT ha ha ha
The stat about Watt being in or out of the game is old. Last year, they had no depth at edge. This year, losing Watt hurts but not nearly as bad as last year. Golden and Herbig will step up.
Brockman is so emotional for no reason
He has a ring and put respect on him he will have them ready it's coming together
Rich is right about making the playoffs. That's all that matter is making the playoffs because anything can happen in a one game elimination situation. Whether it's an injury to a starting QB, a blocked punt, punt return for a TD, bad weather etc.
yeah we know who is getting eliminated and it wont be the Team that got the Steelers into the last wild card spot
@@user-nc8ef4ee6dThey literally didn’t get us anywhere, we would’ve still made it ..
It sucks T.J. won’t be playing
Tomlin is winning games because he was basically forced to do the things fans have been begging for him to do: 1) Fire Canada, who he stubbornly held on to for a season too long and 2) Bench Trubisky. We all knew Mitch was a disaster. But Tomlin started him for 3 straight games. These are all Tomlin created problems but now he gets credit for fixing them?
yes when you fix problems you usually get the credit for fixing them. thats usually how things work in real life.
@@TheMrob25 you missed the part about Tomlin creating the problems
@@Mr_Fairdale so if a drug addict gets clean does he not get the credit for getting clean? It sounds like you just wanna complain about Tomlin without acknowledging that he did what you wanted.
Canada was brought in and retained by the owner
@@TheMrob25 he _reluctantly_ fired Canada after two years of inept offense and the fans chanting "FIRE CANADA" for weeks. He was the last man on earth to see it. But sure give him all the credit.
Keep spitting facts sir..
Hey Rich! make sure you bring this back to him when the steelers pull the upset!
This game could be played 1 billion times, and the Steelers would never score.
Was having this very same arguement with a pittsburgh friend of mine. They are so spoiled with top level coaches throughout their history. They don't know what it's like to be in the bottom of the barrel like some of us.
TJ will be back for the AFCCG.
no chance!!!!
Too bad the Steelers are getting bounced this weekend
@@austin_madore9417ok jets fan lol😅😅😅
Like that matters because they will be one and done
