Steelers vs Lions post game. No "gameballs" given.

[that1guy]

The position (long term) has been a work in progress. The team has been poorly coached for the better part of a decade. The Steelers underperforming is a theme that has and will haunt the Tomlin legacy for ever. The franchise has put itself in a precarious position, Ben is sure to retire at the end of the season and Tomlin has not earned the chance to remain Head coach. The problems troubling the Steelers haven't improved and they won't improve under Mike Tomlin. It's up to the Rooneys to ask themselves what they are willing to do in order to move towards a Superbowl appearance or even a playoff win after 5 seasons.

Run defense was pretty bad, specially Bush. Wth is wrong with that guy? He needs to go back to the lab and work on his tackling technique. Not impressed with Highsmith either. Goats for DJ and PF as well - they need to learn to hold onto the ball.

Najee, TJ and Cam deserve gameballs for their efforts. Harvins punting looked better.

sidenote: Rudolph is ok. He’s shown himself to be pretty much a backup (as others have said). Now the Steelers at least don’t have to waste time and can prepare to replace Ben through the draft or FA/trade.

Tomlin’s not going anywhere. They would have to go through two consecutive bad seasons before his seat gets hot.

Well, Bush is leading the dong vote at BTSC.

Also agree on Mason, yet fickle fans continue to respond like he was a R1 pick.

I hope the team finishes 5-3-9

dumbest post of the year

Watching the Lions kicker miss horribly (a week after the Bears kicker couldn’t even come close on a long kick) makes me really appreciate Boz. There was a stat that he has 14 FGs over 50 yards at Heinz Field… and all other kickers are combined for 4.

My game ball goes to Boz.

[teegre]

Two more things…

The Steelers didn’t capitalize on early field position. I mentioned the high throw on the second drive, and there was an INT on the third drive. Both occurred at about the same field position: in Lions territory around the 45. Two FGs on those two drives changes the game dynamics. Being up 13-0 forces the Lions to pass (which they couldn’t do).

Even then, we forced our third punt of the game. (The INT didn’t really hurt us.) We punt… and the spark that the Lions needed came in a long return. Boom!!! Field position is flipped, they score a TD, and the flow of the game is forever changed.

I guess you haven't seen Willys/Tom444's work. But I guess only real moderators would know his work. Shouldn't you be driving Ben's morning coffee over to him now. Oh wait he's on the COVID list, bring him soup instead.

Tomlin doesn't deserve to keep his although your correct, he will most likely be the coach for the foreseeable future. My point is team issues (like the secondary) don't get fixed under Tomlin. The same problems are there year in and year out, with Tomlins recent playoff record I would think there was talk

[Dwinsgames]

if there is a game ball its Boz ... he just consistently does his job week in and week out and the 50+ yarders in the " hardest venue to kick in " he is simply Boz-A-Matic

Not to mention in flat out horrible conditions yesterday. And if we had a real OC that could draw up a 5 yard out play that doesn't end up 10 yards from the sidelines Boz would have had a shot at a 55 yarder to win it.

[j-d-s]

I think that'd get us into the playoffs honestly

Ties are counted as half a win and half a loss. So 5-3-9 would be 9.5-7.5. Ahead of 9-8 teams!

Boz best player on team. This team is actually worst than I thought, coaching staff completely pathetic too. Sorry, I juat don't think I can stomach watching anymore games this year. I'm not going to humiliate myself thinking they can beat anyone. Pathetic team and coaching.

How do you think Bucs and Cardinals fans felt yesterday?

They probably cant stomach watching any more games either. Probably giving up on their NFL teams and going to watch NHL instead.

Also agree on Mason, yet fickle fans continue to respond like he was a R1 pick.

He was drafted in the 3-5 round range....Bubby Brister (3), O'Donnell (3), Dennis Dixon (5), Landry Jones (4). That's his class. Those are flawed starters to Good Backups (Brister and O'Donnell) and 2nd Tier Backups (Dixon and Jones). Mason falls somewhere in the middle (i still think he's a good backup). Exactly where he was picked. We are comparing him to a top 10 pick (Ben). If we want someone comparable to Ben we better figure out a way to get Rodgers, cause i doubt we can get a comparable top 10 pick in the draft next year.

anyway, PF and DJ's fumbles made Rudolph look worse than he was.

Are you as miserable as literally every one of your posts reads? I mean seriously, I just read three out of your last four and I feel like I need a lexapro.

Every Post? Really? Good I was aiming for that. I had to Google what Lexapro even was, so I'm sorry you're depressed.

Everyone I LOVE Bayz101.

There I posted something nice so you can no longer say I'm miserable in every post.

not sure what makes you say that?

I have always found EzraTank to be a very good poster.

I cannot vouch for everything he has ever posted, I guess better wording would've been "everyone of your latest posts", which in my experience, had been entirely ridiculously negative. If every post I see from someone in 10 consecutive occasions is negative it just annoys me.

I'm sorry, I'm a generally positive person, but god forbid we have a losing season once in 20+ years. And we aren't even on that trajectory at this point.

If you are reading a GDT you are 100% correct. I get passionate during the games then I'm mellow the rest of the week.

Ravens. Ugly loss. Browns. Blown out. Steelers. Tie. So much for the vaunted AFCN.

It's not the toughest division, but it will continue to be the most entertaining division.
