That wasn’t DPI
And while he may be crowing … the point is still valid albeit for other reasons too
Maybe we were hoping for a DPI call and three straight weeks the ref hand us an undeserved win

I'm thinking DK might actually be a difference maker for the Steelers.
You mean *was*, because I'm not sure he ever suits up for them again.

If they lose next weekend I will be surprised if he is a Steeler next year

There was clear contact and face guarding. Ward never even tried to play the ball.

I don't care. I'm happy with my Tomlin Special, but that easily could have been called.

Yes dump this POS WR he sucked and needs to shown the door
Honestly, I thought all three throws were terrible on the last drive and all the deep balls––much worse than the WR play. It's not like guys dropped the ball.

After the game

“I don’t know whose bright idea it was to try me for the game on three plays in a row,” Browns defensive back Denzel Ward stated postgame
For a guy who got away with a DPI on the final play of the game, he should probably shut the fuck up. He was a guarding a guy who should be on the streets in MVS. There's nothing to crow about. At least 60% of the time that play gets flagged it not more.
I do not think that was DPI. I'm not sure he touched MVS at all before the ball got there.

Faceguarding is not DPI in the NFL, my friend. Only in college/high school.

I thought the last play was absolutely DPI and the OPI call on MVS earlier in the game was even worse. Also Tomlin and the Steelers priority all game was t prevent Garrett from getting a sack so we deserved this loss.

Underplaying how bad Rodger’s was today
I get he gets no help from his HC and idiot OC. But ….

Why is that? Do you think they trade DK or cut him? Maybe he's more tradable now that his guarantees are voided?

Either … I am sure they would try and trade first
I believe he will catch some blame and we all know Rooney hates stuff like this

He might be too big of a cap hit to cut and, as disappointing as he has been this year with his drops, he is the only starting quality WR the Steelers have.

Doubt they cut or trade him, according to Glazier the cheap Rooney's aren't even voiding his 45 million.

Still can't touch a guy that plays the race card, even if it's made-up.

Rodgers couldn't hit a deep throw to save his life today.

Even the stupid go route to Scotty Miller on 4th and 1 was there for a touchdown if Rodgers just throws a halfway decent ball- Miller had a step on his man.

Boy was i ever wrong. I thought we would win this game because Rodgers was starting to feel it.

But he played like a total scared pussy,

He did and had the left arm pinned just as the ball was arriving.

But this crew didn't call DPI all game long...including when we obviously did it.

DeKaylin isn’t the difference maker.

His name is Darnell and wait until you see how pathetic this offense is without his availability. You got a taste of it today!

Rodgers has been this way for a while. Capable of lighting-up poor defenses but not really a difference maker, especially in this offense.

Basically a game manager at this point. That COULD be enough with a "historic" defense and good coaching, but we have neither.

OK PennyBacker and Texas Black & Gold, let’s hear those Tomlin excuses!!!
If it were me on the sticks in Madden, it’d have been a FG attempt in the 1H instead of the 4th and 1 attempt. It would have also been my vote to punt rather than go for it inside of the 2 minute warning at the end of the game, but who knows if they end up getting the ball back under that scenario. Not every decision that comes from the sideline is the one my thumbs would select.

This is not my board. It’s very clear that the esteemed folks who run this board, as well as the prevailing majority of this board despise the head coach. I’ve watched the majority of the games over the past decade and many times disagree with the visceral hatred for Tomlin. I keep that under my hat, and rarely promote the scenarios where the vast majority is completely off base.

This board's relationship with Tomlin is complicated, and I'm not expecting to sway anyone's mind from the extreme. Aggressively probing for my opinions about Coach T. is only going to encourage content that will stir things up.

Seriously. Going on 9 years since the last playoff win. Any respectable franchise would have fired him YEARS ago. I really don't know how anyone defends what he's put on tape. How anyone defends playing not-to-lose as something worthwhile.

Barry Switzer and Marvin Lewis rolled into one. Tomlin's career is a near mirror-image of Mike McCarthy, and THAT guy has been fired twice.

He is perfectly free to offer up any full-throated defense of Tomlin he wishes despite the prevailing opinion of anyone on this site or B2B.

He has such conviction in his beliefs that he chooses not to do so.

This has honestly become the prevailing opinion on every Steelers site I go to. You have the same dynamic. One ballwasher for every 10+ Tomlin critics.

Don't forget this is the way WE ALL used to be regarding OUR Steelers.

The Steelers (and pretty much every other powerful institution in the world) are responsible for the change in our feelings of blind loyalty.
