    Well as usual you are wrong. He said he was disappointed about the lack of playoff success but that we are above the median. As if being above the worst teams is good enough. They make 0 changes year over year. I’m sure you’re thinking but hey next year things will be different!

    He says the reality is that "we outperform the NFL mean at a greater rate". So basically, being above average at a better rate than other teams is the standard. lol

    Also, the comparison to boxing is just stupid... winning the first 10 rounds, and then getting knocked out in the 11th round makes the first 10 irrelevent.

    The statement about outperforming the NFL mean is factual, and is undeniably a positive stat. However, in his statement it really comes across as justification for the approach. The way that I view it, management likely believes that playing it safe and ensuring that the team is competitive for a playoff spot every year maximizes the odds of breaking through and having that big season at some point. The problem is that we have plenty of evidence that the conservative approach of only tweaking the status quo every year is not working when January rolls around. It consistently leaves the team at around the 12th - 15th best team in the leagu and an early offseason. Sometimes you need to shake things up and embrace change.

    Jim can shove the run, run, pass, punt, play defense and hope for splash plays mentality right up his azz.

    I think most of us would take a step back in terms of regular season record if it meant hope for the future with better draft assets and a potential QB. There is no hope now just the same crap every season. Let me guess next year we sign Fields or Wilson get 9/10 wins and either barely miss the playoffs or get in as a 6/7 seed and beat by 20 in a playoff game that’s over by halftime. Safest bet in sports. I honestly think the most important thing to this franchise including Tomlin is this non losing season streak even when they know the conservative play it safe approach will never result in postseason success.

    agreed. getting knocked out but looking good doing it creates the same results. as long as people keep coming to see you getting knocked out, the management still gets paid. :cool:

    JEH is a complete moron. Everything you said is 100% correct and 95% of all Steeler fans agree. I don’t even respond to his idiotic posts. He is just looking for clicks. I feel like he earns money from how many people respond to him. I think about 85% of the reply’s are from staff members that make money on all the ads in here so they all attack your comment in slightly different ways. If you look at all the comments from all the non-staff people we all agree.

    I’m starting to think some of you are dyslexic

    You read one simple thing and twist it around into something gibberish that fits your agenda

    And everyone in this board knows it

    The rest of us can read and comprehend what was written

    Maybe ask the Scribble guy for lessons

    We all know you ran and hide from Scribe. Scared. Sad. You would think at this age you wouldn’t believe in the boogie man.

    Some times you just realize you are wasting your time trying to talk sense to someone who can not or will not understand

    I’m at the stage in life I don’t spend time with people who waste my time

    Plus I got creepy PM’s and that was the end

    I can see this statement being the same after the 2025 season. In 2026 In 2027. Then Bags um Tomlin will be signed to another 3 year contract.

    I would agree, but even a decent QB, surrounded by talent can get you there, Jalen Hurts is not 'elite', but the front office certainly knows how to build around him, line, RB'd, WR's. For years our D has been the highest paid in the league, no Russ and Fields are not the guys to get you there, but how about getting the talent around them to at least be competitive.
