[@toddbowser9415]

Mike T & the front office dropped the ball TERRIBLY with signing Tribisky & screwing Mason. I’m not saying Tomlin is a bad coach,but how Mason was handled was TERRIBLE!!

[@mikem6213]

Mason has last years best preseason performance. How he ended up QB3 clearly indicates biases. I would bet that if he started last year instead of Mitch, K.P. would not have started last year without an injury to Mason. As pointed out by on this show, and by most others, Mason has done everything well... meaning he does well in QB competence where KP and Mitch do poorly. KP did show good skills, but only in the 4rth quarter and those seem to have disappeared after his 2nd concussion.

[@TVResults]

Incredible game from the running game, balanced with great decision making from Mason/passing, and play calling overall. The aggressive attitude in going for it on 4th down multiple times without hesitation. I said early on whether they made those conversions or not on the 4th downs, I liked the calls, and they ended up working out. I wish that attitude would have been earlier in the season, though I don't think it was possible given all the circumstances with coaches and personnel involved at the time. What was concerning for me was the Seahawks were able to keep pace while having the ball over 15 minutes less. The Steelers were very weak on the pass defense in terms of the results. In balance, I give Gino Smith credit in a lot of the throws he made he had to create, so pressure did come a lot. I realize this is traditional Steeler football, just would like to see a little more distance in the score overall. I don't like being one mistake away from being tied again. This has been a dramatic improvement over the last few weeks. Congrats to the Steelers on a great win today. It was an entertaining game to watch. I appreciated the sportsmanship after the game between quarterbacks.

[@vincejones949]

[@marlonnicholson8410]

Seeing how good Rudolph has played there's no doubt in my mind that Kenny Pickett should have been learning from Mason Rudolph starting last season the whole time and Mitch Tribusky shouldn't have even been signed but the trash play calling from the old OC probably wouldn't have helped

I love to see stories like Rudolph's, although I feel sad for him though. It just goes to show you that talent evaluators even at the NFL level are not always right or that there are other agendas at play and players like Rudolph might suffer from it. There is NO doubt that the Steelers were hoping their "man" would develop in short order in order to justify the ridiculous decision to take him in the first round and of course they are still of that mind sadly. Anyway, had he developed enough then someone like Rudolph would have been wasted and never really given a fair chance as most know that training camp was a joke and that Rudolph outplayed both 1st and 2nd string QBs there, but was simply ignored. Steeler simply trying to justify wasting money and draft pick on them and expecting they would both come into their own in time........of course, this wasn't happening. Personally, I find Rudolph's experience similar to my kid's in volleyball as her talents were ignored as the coach allowed the team to continuing lose rather than displace the players that were taking the team no where but losses....of course, high school and club volleyball is far different than the NFL where coaches actually are held accountable so sadly, my kid never got her due in high school but went on to play in college and become an All American at the D3 level......as well as All Academic.......so take heart people, the greatest EVIL is someone trying to make you feel less than what you are!
