To win it all, Steelers: 7 wins in a row 7 seed 7 Lombardi

[@freeman8000]

7 is mystical

[@notfbg]

@@freeman8000it would be too perfect

[@koswimmer1]

that incomplete pass on Ridley was what took us to the playoffs. THANK YOU TITANS

[@AbleAnderson]

It's easily one of the more improbable turnarounds I've ever seen from the Steelers. The odds of them winning their last 3 and making the playoffs were slim, and somehow they did it. I'll never forget how atrocious Mitch Trubisky was in black and gold. He needs cut/released asap.

[@d0nKsTaH]

I'd rather the Steelers sign Ava Matz and play her at QB instead of Mitch ever again. Ava is a high school QB in Wisconsin. Easily better than Mitch

[@steelerfaninperu]

Thank you 5 Star for another full season of ups, downs, sideways things, loopdy loops and more. It's been an absolutely bonkers year and while it's certainly been frustrating AF at times (most times), it's been a lot more enjoyable riding this roller coaster next to you. Proud to keep that patreon running for eternity. Here we go!

You're the best!

Great video man. Out did yourself with this one

[@isitsustainable820]

This team had no business making the playoffs. We trotted out historically bad QBs all year then went 3-for-3 in must-wins after dusting off third-stringer and Terracotta Army veteran Mason Rudolph. For those reasons - and I’m sure everyone will respond reasonably & politely to this take - Tomlin deserves coach of the year consideration.

I can't believe this team ended up in the playoffs. My new job has immediately crushed my soul as I knew it eventually would and I will be stuck in a training room from 08:00-16:00 on Sunday. I always knew accepting this offer would lead to something like this I'm just annoyed it was this fast, that being said we need to win so I can watch the divisional round game

[@spencerscott6347]

Please everyone go back and look and give myles jack his god dam strip on gordan. the hit was not what knocked that ball out jack punched it from the back out. dude has been using every chance he gets with this opportunity and deserves the recognition. Out played bush in seatle and i think leads our tacklers since joining.

Find the footage with 00:43 seconds left until haftime, Rudolph is talking to Sullivan and then Tomlin starts yelling so Rudolph raises his hand and pats him on the shoulder.

[@mc1993]

What happened after the BAL fumble giving us the ball on the Raven's 32 late only leading by 7? Run▪Run▪Run▪Run▪Dump pass to Najee▪Run▪Run▪Run ▪Kick FG. Steelers are near the bottom of the league in Red Zone Efficiency and Goal to Go Efficiency because of this. Which also explains 5SM's question about where is the Muth Man. But...Thanks to Rudolph, we aren't dead lasts. This isn't because of the weather conditions, we've done it all season. Only now we don't turn over the ball on downs inside the business zone. VS SEA we were 3 of 7 RZE and 2 of 4 G2G. Yet vs CIN we went aggressive pass routes, was 2 of 3 RZE and 2 of 2 G2G 100%. We play this same run at all costs game plan (40 runs to 20 passing) vs Buffalo, we get absolutely demolished if they can stop it. We let Mason go intermediate and deep on motion routes, we can win, and for the love of God, please let Mason play action on 1st or 2nd down on goal to go...but like to Pickens or Muth, or Washington, the big personnel package already screams run play.

Hey I wrote them off for dead but of course they make the playoffs. If they win against Buffalo, I’ll be insufferable lmao.

They did it as the 6th seed before 8an8 and won the superbowl 😊 don't underestimate the steelers

[@kimblandino]

They were 11-5 that year.

[@kyleporemski400]

question about najee: he always heats up and ends with solid stats but why doesn’t it feel that way? is half of or more than half of bad play worth him heating up late?

[@ronaldbbx631]

Thank you for another great year. Your work is great.

[@AbleAnderson]

The QB situation for Pittsburgh is a little difficult going into next year. I think if Mason plays awful against the Bills and they lose, I think the Steelers may let him walk. I think if he plays ok and they lose, it's a toss up. If he plays fantastic and they win or lose, I think they very well may bring him back as the projected starter next year with Kenny as QB2. I'm curious what others think bc I genuinely don't know what they will or should do, it's tough and I think a lot hinges on this postseason

[@_Muel_]

I think the Steelers already have a tough choice to make for the starting QB next year with the way Rudolph has been playing. They need to bring him back next year. QB 2 at the very least. If he plays great against the Bills and the Steelers win, I think he gets brought back next year as the starter. If he plays fantastic and they lose, I think they bring him back and at least give him a legit shot at taking the starting job from Pickett. It's really tough to say, because if they win, it could also depend on how Rudolph does throughout the rest of the playoffs, however far they make it. Or playing against the Bills and helping the Steelers win their first playoff game since 2016 could seal the deal for Rudolph as our starting QB next year.

[@jayb-wickorsnow5956]

Craziest season ever dude. Seem to be saying that every season. We in. Buffalo got to stop Najee and Jalen.
