Steelers - CovidClowns game thread : playoff edition

Ben is one of our five best players ever. He’s also old coming off injury. No way is he with 40 million plus a season.

If he really wants to win a super bowl he agrees to play for 5 million, the Steelers get two quality lineman and the contact states he calls many of his own plays.

Combined with a good draft And I’ll be happy as a fan.

It’s OVER fellas. Free agency will pick us apart.

Have you ever watched the 70s Steelers with Bradshaw and all the mistakes he made? That team won 4 Super Bowls with the good and the bad from him, and sometimes is was BONEHEADED bad. He didn’t earn the rep for nothing..

Totally different game. None of the QBs had high TD to INT ratios since the DB's back then were allowed to maul the receivers.
 
I hope they put Ben in to throw another stupid pick. 48-29 isn’t nearly bad enough. The abuse needs to be far, far worse.
 
Lost in all this ........ NO SACKS
 
I have covid and had to witness this BS. Just took a big swig of Nyquil. Over and out...
 
Too bad tis wasn't a packed house stadium. The boos would have been so loud even the Rooneys would have to have heard them.

That team had the Steel Curtain defense to help cover up for some of Bradshaw's boneheaded mistakes. This team has nothing like that at this point.

And Franco Harris with guys like Mike Webster blocking for him.

For all those trashing Tomlin. Yes has some blame but Ben god love him threw 4 picks and Pouncey made an error I have to admit I have made due to nerves. This isn’t all on Ben but it isn’t all on Tomlin. We made some stupid plays. Period.

There is no game plan. There are no adjustments. Other teams exploit our weaknesses, we don't do the same.
 
Some can say what they want but every player who sat contributed to the loss. This team has to find a rythmn they lost it for many reasons. Head coach,OC,DC, rusty QB, D players hurt, and a Covid CB all rolled into one pile of ****.

This defense has the capacity to play a _lot_ better than it played tonight. One might argue that the schemes may have something to do with the bad performance. How many mismatches did we see on pass coverage? Was that the players’ fault or the scheme?
 
Blame Ben all you want tip balls, first TD was not on him,,,,look at this defense that made not one play in this game, Tomlin decision not to go for it changed the momentum back to Cleveland.. This team showed no big desire or aggressiveness all night. We lack coaching from top man to the specialty coaches, leadership and physical play. Tomlin may be a great guy but he lacks what the game is today to be the head coach. As a Steeler fan did you think we would ever become a less physical team. I have to admit watching the other playoff teams we did not compare to any of them. Hated to admit that. Love the Steelers but tonight was so hard to watch. From the first play , was what else did you expect how things have gone last few games. Hopes were high for all of us and turned into a frustrating year. Have a great year Steeler Nation, stay safe . Lets get through this Covid 19, our political change, move on to being a better country. My last rant hope Ben does not say it is all on him,,,that is BS.
 
What is Tomlin’s playoff record?

What is Ben’s playoff passer rating? 80ish?

Maybe drastic measures aren’t as drastic as they seem.

Ben is a large part of the reason they were down 28. For crying out loud, stop defending him. Look, I am all for getting rid of Tomlin and all, this staff stinks. But I think Ben needs to be pushed into retirement, see if you can use some of that money begin the rebuild. Because for all the where would we be without Ben, we haven't won anything with him.

I mean we won two superbowls and made a third... that isn’t nothing...
Ben will very likely be back next year... probably the year after that too... they forced Troybout because of concussions and Ward because they had viable replacements... im a fairly mild Rudolph backer but i dont think they are taking him over Ben... and they aren’t bringing in a ufa either...

The other thing is the Steelers dont tank for picks... so they aren’t blowing it up... they will tweek... thats what they do
 
It may be a very long time until we win a playoff game again. We have looked like mediocre *** for 11 years. Same **** every year. The meltdowns and soft mentality just got to go.

Well you have LBs covering their best WR so that is scheme
 
The Chiefs are laughing their *** off having an easy path to the AFCC.
 
I'm just watching to see the last few plays of Ben's career.
