Football gods spit at Rooney

has any team every had an EASIER pathway to the SB?

easiest schedule in the league

its never easy but they won less games vs. teams with winning records than the Giants then faced a warm weather Chargers at home and depleted Denver instead of Fubbalo because of a bad ref call

A part of me would love to see NE win it all! NE did a mini rebuild and are back to super bowls while the Steelers play patty cake every year. Maybe Art would get a clue that having a couple losing season would actually help the team.

Edit: And youth on D can take you a long way!

I´ll add more:
In play-off: Herbert putting 3 points on them in NE. 27 turnovers by Stroud in NE. And now backup QB and weather to the rescue.

Pats have officially passed the Steelers for best franchise in the SB era. 12 SB appearances can’t be denied.

You can fuck them for sure but you can't deny the Krafts' commitment to winning which is absolutely fucking lost on Steelers' ownership.

The Pats had their Coach T in Mayo and dumped him in favor of an old school hardnose coach. No social justice activism, just football.

Took the Rooneys 20 years to figure that one out.

The funny thing is had the Steelers under Tomlin had the very same path, they'd have found a way to dick the dog.

Pats did what they had to do, hate them or not.

Art is more worried about having to make decisions and the possibility that the outcome isn’t good


He’s such a cuck

How pathetic is it that this passive aggressive pansy took control of the team, and is determined to weasel it to death

The league really needs to address blowing the whistle when forward progress is stopped. This waiting another 3-5 seconds is crazy.

I'd actually prefer the Seahawks win but the Seattle RB was stopped at the 4 and was pushed 2 yards backwards for several seconds but the play continued and suddenly he breaks forward to the 2.

That same thing almost bit us at the end of the Lions game. Also a killer for Jacksonville in the wildcard round when Allen got the 1st down at the 10, was stopped but eventually the pile started moving again and he got in for the go-ahead TD.

Just blow the damn whistle when the play is over. Don't wait to see if maybe something develops down the line.

Now we get to watch my #1 Choice , KK, compose another masterpiece for the Seahawks...
But we had to hurry and hire McCarthy before another team swooped in and not let him leave their building without a signed contract..
.
Who that team would have would have been....lol.

Seattle just scored more than 7 in the first quarter.

Based on my viewing of the last 56 Steelers games I didn't know that was allowed.

That's reason enough to fire Tomlin and focus on offense.

Kubiak would have been a nice hire, but we don't KNOW he's better as a HC than McCarthy.

It's so random...
Giants got robbed vs the Philly tush push...
QB was still lunging forward ...
Giant grabbed ball out of hands...
But they said play was dead...

Seems like a good time to point out you guys are fans of a franchise that traded up to take Broderick Jones with Jaxon Smith Njigba on the board.

This reminds me of the mid-90s SF DAL NFCC games. The real Superbowl at the time.

Are you sure they’ve figured it out though?

Was that Khan's idea or Tomlin's?

Agree with both. Barring any more idiotic muffs like that dropped punt, Stafford looks unstoppable and capable of beating anyone
