Back to the Steelers I honestly see the fact that Tomlin has winning records every year as a bad thing for that fanbase.  They are forever stuck in a pattern of mediocrity.  Seems like they will never break out of it.

With him likely gone next year we will see a different product for sure.

Tampa won’t be a push over.

I’m not so sure,  I think Philadelphia is just that bad right now.  Tampa got in by virtue of winning the worst division in football.

Yeah Tampa should not present too stiff of a challenge for Lions, any given Sunday but Bucs arent very good, dead last in the NFL in rushing yards. 

Tampa does need to get better there for next year. But I wouldn’t count them out. They should keep it competitive.

Aikman just mentioned the Eagles offense misses Shane Steichen

His actions today at press conference pretty much cemented in my mind, a bit surprised he did that, seems out of character and was a bad look for sure.

Lions are looking solid, beat Tampa handily on the road earlier this season. They likely open as a 6-8 point favorite I would guess.

Eagles were big time pretenders

Injuries and losing coaches spelled doom, Both corners out,star WR out, QB hobbled for 2 months,

It's the whole Indiana Jones "choose wisely" thing.

 

In going all out to emulate Hurts and the Eagles, I'm not sure Ballard chose wisely.

I was on the train of bringing in baker mayfield here to the colts when he was last released, even hoped we would have traded for him. Not saying he is a great QB but if we had him over mustache we’d have gone a bit farther this year. Congrats to him though for his year.

Tomlin needs to hire a young OC that will bring creativity to the offense.

If you surround him with a good run game, weapons, and a Oline your going yo get a very good QB. If he stays they will need to get the run game better.

[Happy2BeHere]

Eagles 3rd down conversions 0%, that’s in the same ballpark as the colts, and one other game I don’t recall this weekend; but in all cases with such a low 3rd down rate meant a loss in each of those games. That definitely was the biggest reason we lost our last regular season game.

 

i think the dolphins were the other team with a horrible 3rd down rate this weekend.

Wonder why they changed DC. This team was 10-1 at one point.  

 

That's a good question. The defense was really bad today.

That is the Vikings, but we are not as consistent as the Steelers and Ravens. Vikings always pick in the middle of the draft. I have been a fan for 33-34 years, the highest we have picked is 4th (2011?). Most of the time we pick outside the top ten. Teams need to lose a bit to draft high.

Remember Steichen had a big hand in developing Hebert in LA so I don’t think it was just about emulating Philly.  I think Shane had already established himself as a good Quarterback developer after Hebert and then Hurts.  Knowing we were bringing in a rookie QB I thought it made sense.  Nothing this year showed me any different

Thanks.

 

That is such a poorly written article. I stopped reading at this:

They have also missed the playoffs three times in the last season.

Colds beat Houston, ravens, and TB. All three teams still left.

Well they limped into the playoffs, which I guess is almost like missing the playoffs 3 times in 1 year  

[holeymoley99]

He got very upset and emotional on a simple non badgering question....something is not right. Wonder if Jerry Jones had a nice chat with him....hmm

Better to limp than to miss. I wish my team had played in the playoffs.

Tomlin? I saw him just walk away. I did not see him emotional or upset. He just walked away.

 

I went back to finish that article and it said that the team wants to extend him but he wants to take time to think about it.

 

You're right about something. I was not expecting that reaction..

I think he was close at one point this season, but they kinda rallied and had a good second half of the season. One of the hottest teams going into the playoffs.

That happened since McDermott fired OC Ken Dorsey. Running game wasn't balanced until then, Allen was making too many mistakes and Bills had very little of margin of error for next several weeks to qualify for playoffs. They still had to face Philly, KC, Dallas, Miami and Jets & Patriots to whom they had lost early in the season. So, it really looked impossible to get in, but they lost only to Philly in that stretch.

 

McDermott should keep his job. Felt bad for Dorsey, but he was just too pass happy that put Allen into too many mistakes that he tend to do. James Cook doing well helped too. 

[Happy2BeHere]

Saw this…mexican word of the day: Dallas

 

That is Dallas game the cowboys will play dis season. 
 

 

 

Jones was an absolute emotional wreck…I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Dallas lose in the playoffs before but you could definitely tell that he was the most shaken I’ve ever seen. McCarthy will be fired in my opinion…that team was not even remotely close to being prepared for the game.

Idk why, but seeing Philly lose and Sirianni looking like a kid who lost his favorite toy made me smile. 
 

Karma is a *, and it was time to pay up.
