We talk about a "Tomlin type loss". But is this not setting up as a "Tomlin type WIN?"

    Someone here once told us that the QB makes receivers good. I’m sure that wasn’t you, right?

    It was, and if You will remember I said to a point. You can only help a bad wr so much, and on top of that, our Qb isn't helping crap if the last game is anything to go off of. 10 years ago with Rodgers, I'd stick to that saying. Rodgers right now, He needs all the help he can get.

    Well by gosh if only the Steelers had some veteran receivers
    topped off by a 3rd&19 58 yard completion to Roman Wilson

    Both teams are mediocre and inconsistent. Who knows who will win the battle of, "win and get kicked around in the playoffs."

    Based on last week and a decade of trends, the only way I see us winning is by forcing 5 or 6 turnovers... and maybe win by 3. Or maybe if the whole Ravens team gets the flu.

    And then go down 21-0 in the first quarter against Houston (or whoever)...

    Or...

    Anyone who follows the NFL would probably bet their house that the AFCN and NFCS winners won't be playing in Feb.

    did you not read what i put up? They still have two very good TE’s (J Smith was a pro bowler last year) and we have Thielen, who Viking fans would love to have back.

    Tomlin and AR need to use them.

    What is it with your excuses for this stale coach with 19 years behind him? Who hasnt sniffed a super bowl in 15 years.

    The game vs the Browns really hurt Tomlin I think. It followed 2 games where things really seemed to turn around. If he had beat the Browns, he gets a bye week vs the Ravens and goes into the playoffs with a rested TJ, DK is back and rested, and several other players got a bye or light play in week 18. Now, it is a slug fest. If we lose, the fans will slide bed warmers under his mattress and forget to put the burning coal into a pan first. If we win a playoff game, things are better but losing to the Browns will tarnish it as another 'Tomlin special'.

    So I don't see any true upside for Tomlin for the rest of this season, just paths with less feedback.

    There is no excuses. Neither one of those guys have done what DK, or Washington has. How hard is this for You to understand??? Also it doesn't matter who is out there if Rodgers doesn't throw to them, or are You one of the people that think the coaches tell the Qb who he has to throw to??? They were out there last week.
