My prediction, Steelers win this weekend. Any thoughts?

Steelers better win this weekend, or they may finish 2-15. Trubisky was unfairly benched. He was never the problem this year, and Kenny obviously isn't the solution. The line sucks on both sides of the ball - especially offense - kinda doesn't matter who's at QB with that OL.

That said, the only reasons they even have two wins this year are TJ Watt (vs. Bengals) and Trubisky (vs. Bucs). Kenny should still be on the bench.

I’m interested in seeing if Tomlin will finally give Warren a real chance or selfishly play Najee regardless of the obvious. Another 1st round poor pick.

Not sure what to think. Don’t really want a short win streak and get a shitty draft pick. Run game looked good for a change.

Was nice to see Watt back on the field. Offense had a lil zip.

They definitely need the address the kicking, though.

Nothing they can do about that right now. When you poach a player from another team's practice squad, by rule you have to keep them on your active roster for a certain amount of time, which I think is 3 weeks, but definitely not less than that. They should have kept the guy who kicked against Philly.

Watt back. Kazee showed why they acquired him. Harris ran well. Pickett played pretty good all things considered. Play calling was a bit better. I'm optimistic for Sunday's game against the Bungles. I've never rooted for them to lose for a draft pick and I'm not gonna start now.

So, lets start talking about never having a losing season, and the imminent "Retirement" that's going to start being talked about.

OK. Let's talk about it. He never has had a losing season. He won a Super Bowl (with a team that went 8-8 the previous year that he "inhereted"), two AFC Championships, a bunch of Division Titles, and has a very good wining percentage.

Why am I not surprised at all that you hate Tomlin. LOL

Tomlin “inherited” Bruce Arians and Dick Lebeow as his coordinators and a HOF QB that came off his worst year. Motorcycle accident and appendix. At the very least, his coaching staff disasters are on him. Wasted second half of Ben’s career.
everything doesn’t have to be political like you insinuated.

Kenny Pickett ain't ready for prime time, but I realize we're stuck with him. He's lucky he's young and fast because his passing game is garbage. Maybe TJ Watt and George Pickens can propel the team to a win against the Bungles this weekend. Go Stillers!

We probably are. I never agreed with the NFL way, where you can’t take a QB high in the draft two years in a row. It’s far and away the most
Important position. I’m not sold on Kenny at all, But hard to tell with Canada as OC.

Charley3 · 11-17-2022, 08:50 AM

Don’t know if anyone heard the rumors that Tomlin may be thinking about going to TV. It makes sense for all parties.

As a lifelong fan, and 10-year season ticket holder, Pickett ain't the answer. He likely never will be. So many people, after they unwisely benched Trubisky, were like "just get the growing pains over with this year" and "Kenny's the future, let's get to it now". Lol. I'm not at all convinced he's the future of this team. Not sure where all the confidence in this kid is coming from, but it reeks of homerism. We most likely have two Mitch Trubiskys on the team right now.

Pickett misses wide-open targets frequently, and he can't thread a needle to save his life. I get it that he's a rookie, but that's EXACTLY why he needs to be holding the clipboard this year. He's a rookie, not a star QB.

He inherited an 8-8 team. Most good head coaches have good coordinators.

I haven't insinuated anything political.
