Coach Mike Tomlin Postgame Press Conference (Week 17 at Seahawks) | Pittsburgh Steelers

[@jaydee5447]

Seahawks fan here. Congrats to the Steelers today. Y’all ran the ball down our throat and you all were the far more physical football team. You guys earned and deserved this win. Best of luck to you all going forward.

Never should have come to prayers for another team to lose when you fail against 3 of the worst teams in the nfl. Mason looks good, shows how incompetent tomlin has been by not playing him all along, especially after KP went down. Mitch is a shrek, Kenny is a career 3rd string. Mason we will find out, never got a fair shot with how trash the team was during the duck season.

I don't think that's it. Tomlin always does this with guys who have their first big games or are building on something. He wants them to stay hungry and not get a blown up head. Plus he's not trying to feed anymore fire into the upcoming week about who should be QB.

Another great job from Mason, looking good. No matter what happens the rest of the season Mason should absolutely be seen as a genuine contender to start next season.

[@caomhan84]

Mason played with poise, efficiency, accuracy, confidence. He stood in the pocket and delivered that strike to Pickens. Kenny would not have done that. A lot of the credit has to go to Najee as well of course, But the whole team looks better with Mason under center. He's playing for a contract.... Whether that's here or somewhere else. But I think after these two games, he has shown that he has a maturity and game sense that Kenny lacks.

[@76482]

Kenny doesn't have team leadership skills. Even the fans don't look energized when he's QB, and the team appears low energy and depressed.

[@jimmyReesby]

He just won't give Rudolph any credit. Rudolph opens up the run game! Period!

[@alexvagias5295]

You're absolutely right. Getting Trubisky without seeing what Rudolph could do for a whole season was poor management. And, think about this. The only reason Rudolph is playing is because Tomlin had no other option-pathetic. And here's the punch line; if the Steelers under Rudolph win some games, the media will trip over themselves telling us how great a coach Tomlin is.

[@dennishouser5711]

He never will admit to anything his ego won't allow him to do that!!!!

[@ronm4865]

People are funny 😂. Mason has been great these last 2 games. But what did he do in his chances prior to that in the prior years? Never looked anything like this. They never would've gotten Mitch had Mason been like this prior. You gotta be realistic. Plus the circumstances are way different. No Canada, they've admitted to being more aggressive the last two weeks, and Mason has nothing to lose by just going out there chucking the ball up. He was the #3 usually not dressing. Lets not forget no other team even talked to him this off season. So for him, he can play like it's now or never. What's the worst that happens, he doesn't dress anymore like it was before. Have to keep it in perspective.

[@James-bq2gp]

Well you have to remember he was thrown in there ice cold when Ben got hurt that year he hadn't had no time to mature as a qb that year and still did decent went 5 and 3 as starter that year showed potential he earned a shot at being a starter when Ben retired he put the years in then tomlin dogs him by signing that mitch tribisky then benched rudolph for 2 years
