My thoughts on the wildcard

As expected, my renewed interest in the NFL lasted exactly one playoff game.

 

Down by only 1 entering the 4th qtr. With a gassed defense, the Steelers were outscored 23-0 in the 4th qtr

 

Khan has a share in that blame, and possibly Tomlin, they had to okay the move.

 

gg tomlin on #10 lol

 

Not disagreeing for the most part, but they never really used Jonnu in his primary role. How many times was he a gadget guy? That's pure Arthur Smith.

 

Unless TJ has a leg injury that they have been hiding…he looks done.

If that is the case, they have to get out from under that contract.

 

We need help in many places..i think it will take a total rebuild..OL can't run or pass block..need WR's.Safties,corners,QB,NT, RB.etc.

 

Khan and Tomlin made some big mistakes in the construction of this roster. Trading for Smith was one. Pretty much everything they did at safety was wrong. Giving Watt a huge contract instead of trading him was a big mistake. Trading for Metcalf and dealing Pickens was the worst.

This team would have been better off keeping Pickens and Fitzpatrick and trading Watt.

 

I think you can cross RB off that list, we're pretty decent there. It's just that we head-scratchingly move away from what is working.

 

Time to move on from all our coaches and Khan. He gave us Metcalf and really no receivers. He gave us Jonnu Smith who was a negative whenever he entered the game. He gave us highest paid defense that finished 26 th in the league despite playing in a weak division. Trade Watt and Metcalf and their salaries and start new with a new coach.

 

I keep harping on it, but Fautanu's disgraceful performance tonight is extremely troubling. He was supposed to be part of the rebuild, but he looked thoroughly overmatched all night.

 

Nobody is trading for Watt with that contract.

 

This. We had our chance at contract time last offseason, and we blew it.

 

Guy's been great but I certainly hope not. They should have dumped DK after the incident. Gotta hope TJ bounces back because he's here another two years with that contract.

 

To be fair, it was the best outside rushers in the NFL. They were going to make at least a few plays tonight.

You hit a few passes and maybe they are back on their heels a bit.

Once the offense stalled the defense feasted.

 

Benton clearly isn't a NT. I don't know a lot but I know that.

 

If Stroud wouldn't have sucked so much the Texans would have scored over 50.

 

That's only been painfully clear for two years now. You have to give the coaches time to figure these things out all by themselves.

 

Marvin Lewis
A lot thought he was a great coach too
Congrats Magic Mike

 

He's been washed up for the better part of 2 years now, and to think they're paying this guy 41 million a year? Unreal.

 

With Harmon in there he doesn’t have to be. Benton is still a good player.

 

Trade Tomlin and Khan to the Giants and work on completely rebuilding this roster. This season became what it was back in February during the initial team building process.

 

And to think people on here were hailing him as the great "Khan Artist"? What a joke. He's been mediocre, just like the rest of the Steelers organization.

 

Still don't know why we passed on Quinyon Mitchell for him. Mitchell and Porter would've been the shutdown corners, especially in this division, while keeping Minkah. Would've freed up more defenders close to the box to help stop the run, while being fairly secure with our CBs on an island

 

He doesn't have to play his position well with Harmon out there? What? So, them gashing us up the middle as he got continuously demolished was fine with you? Ok man.
