I promise you Mike Tomlin will never win another Super Bowl unless Bill Cowher gives him his players and coaching staff... again

[@2003jsciarrino]

I hope they lose 50 to 0 they have no chance this game will be over by halftime

[@joeterzio7175]

You're a real fan, pal.

[@brucelockwood4701]

I agree with Ray F.: Let Russ throw the ball more and control the destiny of the offense in the next game with Baltimore. Russ has a proven track record in the post season and will give the Steelers their best chance for victory.

[@DBE66]

Tomlin is a failure. The last decade + has been dog shi*. You all have made this Rooney Rule coach something he is not. Pittsburgh can lose for the next 15 years, Rooney will remain ignorant and keep this non losing season coach. It is no longer Lombardi or bust. I blame looney toony Rooney.

[@JWS1985]

The title needs changed to 2025.

[@user39-230]

They played in their fears. And maybe Decourcy is right about getting a W instead of F-.

[@jackcollin2476]

But on a bright note Steelers fans, now that all of the losing is out of the way and we have a playoff game coming up rare that it be, the good news is that the Steelers control their own destiny so never fear

[@brentcroasmun8109]

Old school football does not work in the NFL. No other team in playoffs plays the way Steelers do on oftense. They have the offensive players to be successful. Quit running the ball every first down. Offense is boring, predictable, and outdated. Not giving Justin Fields a chance is ridiculous. This is not rocket science. Cordalle Patterson has no business being in backfield. This team is frustrating to watch.

[@stevecowder4774]

I’d like to believe the Steelers have a decent chance of pulling off the upset because nearly all of the pressure will be on the Ravens to win. But at the same measure, Russell has a tone of pressure on him to atone for those 2 blunders in the past meeting at Baltimore. If the Steelers have any chance at all, Wilson must make the difference. But he’s not the only one.

[@infinity2z3r07]

offense was working and now it is completely dysfunctional. WTF happened?!

[@christophersexton5778]

We will shock the world. We had to help hardknocks have better stories and 3 winning afc north teams. We have held back keeping our scheme secret for playoffs We will shock ppl. We r healthier got mini bye week rust knocked off after 3 stupid close games in 11 days We have had injuries, lack of prep,rehabilitation, rest times than had mini bye after all the hard 3 games now we r ready. We sill shock ppl get ready.

[@RayManzarekRocks]

The Stillers could have moved up a few spots to take QB Bo Nix in the first round of the draft. But nooooo, Tom and Kahn liked an OL named Troy Fautanu instead. So Nix goes to the Broncos. whose coach Sean Peyton dumped Russell Wilson, the has-been who the Stillers signed and Nix would replace. Think Peyton is lovin' this even a little bit?

[@jc6059]

Do NOT bring Russ back. Outside of the deep ball he doesn't offer much. Justin is younger and more dynamic, he's a guy you have to gameplan for. I'd give that 3yr 25 mill per deal to Justin, not Russ. Also ND beats Penn State. Either team loses to Ohio State.

[@stevecowder4774]

At times, these guys were laughing. But who can blame them. The Steelers have become the laughing stock of the NFL 😆.

[@GTO4001]

These 4 guys are CHIEFS FANS

[@jackcollin2476]

How dare anyone in Pittsburgh criticize Mike Tomlin for his coaching philosophy. Now has Tomlin forsaken the true Steelers tradition for his newly created tradition of no losing seasons, yes of course he has.. is he not going to win another Super Bowl in Pittsburgh as long as he's head coach, no of course he's not but that's no reason to bash the man just because his team builds up the hopes of its fan base during the course of the year only to go into a tailspin and ugly tailspin in December. Please get off tomlin's behind
