    They won 10 games last season. That wasn't luck.

    Burrow missing a majority of the last two seasons, LJ and Mahomes missing a big chunck of last season didnt hurt either.

    it was good defense (not great) and luck with injuries to the division rivals, not to mention the browns being inept, that helped the steelers squeeze out ten wins. Ill give a little credit to AR too - he held it together enough on the offensive side to get to 10 wins.


    There were things on the defensive side that i never liked, like an over reliance on TJ doing his thing, and the steelers almost always having their corners play 5 yards off the receivers. I’ll also throw in our seeming general poor tackling.

    Baltimore and Kansas City had losing records when their QBs were healthy.

    Was it just a down year for both of those teams or will it continue this year?

    there may be some similarities between Mm and Smith but the pass route concepts may be different. I think mm is better at scheming guys open and he uses the middle of the field more and definitely spreads the defense out more laterally.

    Funny if he's not our dad, then he is not your ex wife, of mean step father, and you don't have to make every post a down Tomlin post. I know , I know you don't do that, but should I show the post from every day??
    I don't know how to break this to you ,but a HC that is the only HC out of 5 HCs to make the playoffs 5 out of the last 6 year is not a dumb, or stupid HC. Make it make sense.

    Let's hope MM can turn around one of the Steelers worst trends; Thursday Night Football.

    8-10 overall

    BUT 1-8 in away TNF. Browns accounting for half those away losses. The only away win coming in Tomlin's rookie season.

    Oh, and btw, their TNF game this year? You guess it, @ CLE.

    :clapping:

    No excuse to lose to the Browns on TNF this year with those scrub QBs they have, and most of all no Myles Garrett.

    If the Steelers do well this year it’s going to be bittersweet for you with how protective you are of Tomlin. It clearly bothers you that people are happy he is gone because you bristle at anything positive people are saying even when Tomlin isn’t even mentioned.

    Take this thread where you injected that every team says positive things about new coaches or where you said imagine that, an offensive minded coach being better at offense than a defensive one. You just cant let people be happy about the change, It’s so obvious it bothers you dude.

    And yeah, the more I hear about how much more efficient McCarthy’s camps have been and how much attention there is to detail the more the chip on my shoulder towards Tomlin grows. How many times have us fans said it doesnt even look like they practice during a game, you play like you practice and their practice under Tomlin seems to have been ****. Take the preseason game and how much better our backups looked compared to GBs, thats probably a credit to McCarthy running two fields so everyone gets enough work. According to the people who attend practice, that wasnt something Tomlin did. Why TF not!?!

    You can love the guy all you want, Im glad he got the **** out of here.
