Pittsburgh never gave Pickens a scheme or a qb that will ever start another game in the league.I don't think it's a fair comparison since the receiver traded away would not have had the same numbers he put up in Dallas had he remained under Tomlin's inept offensive thumb. He will be laughing his way to the bank after the season. He would not be a pro bowl receiver here. He would have been a constant complainer and in Tomlin's doghouse most of the year due to a bad attitude and locker room disrupter. Trading him helped the locker room and helped him. He wasn't going to produce here regardless with the existing offensive approach to the offense.
Canada didn't put a worse product on the field than Smith, Smith had Aaron vs Kenny with Canada.I wish Arthur Smith would throw out Matt Canada‘s playbook…Burn that thing
Exactly, my point being 2 games left to play, we were up by 2 games.
Should they lose to the rats, that would be blowing a 2 game lead with two games left.
That is a HUGE not acceptable way for a seasoned coach to end the season, grounds to fire considering his past 10 seasons +.
That all comes right from the head coach. I knew they were in trouble when Tomlin strutted off the field in Detroit with Cam and Rodgers acting like they just won something more than a regular season game, then Tomlin yelling before getting in the locker room about Brooke Pryor, which hasn't been talked about much, but that's a low rent move by a 18 year head coach, you'd never hear another long tenured coach do that.The Steelers played so well because they were actually outcoaching opponents during that stretch. Backs against the wall, must-win. The second they start to feel good about themselves they lose to a 3-win team. Division game or not, you cannot lose to a 3-win team with the chance to clinch a playoff spot.
Even worse, if they lose and the passing game is limited without DK again, that incident that was later publicly supported by Tomlin could be his downfall.
A Tomlin dismissal or resignation could have an interesting effect, too -- I could see a couple comfortable vets who love him walking. Looking at Cam mostly, maybe TJ.
Let them ****-ing walk. They are both under contract so good luck with that. TRADE them.

It's absolutely criminal how many careers Tomlin has wasted over the years. His mis-treatment of Dick Lebeau and Troy Polamalu stand out as well as the years Ben should have been leading the teams through championship seasons.This.
Watt has been a great Steeler and is a shoe in hall of famer but in no way has he earned the money paid to him this year and it’s highly unlikely he ever will again. He will go nowhere there’s too much money to earn-if he retired it would be a very good thing long term for the cap
Heyward has played well this year, his date with Father Time is coming tho. I wouldn’t be suprised if he holds out and demands a bigger contract when training camp starts, if so trade him
Arrogant prick.
Basically.. we blew two division leads ... we had a 3.5 lead, the Ravebs took the division lead, then we got to a scenario where we needed one win or ravens loss for to clinch and blew that tooI thought we had a 2 game lead with two games to play…….. ???
