Well started 5-1 and media starts to say how great Tomlin is for the 27th time. 2 weeks in a row we lose. 3 more games ahead that do not look good since 4 starters went down last night. Haven’t played the ravens yet with Lamar out due to injury. He will be full go when we do play them. Another 9-8? Season coming up.

Mike Franklin is the best one game over.500 coach ever!

Based on their remaining schedule I predict 8 - 9. The Ravens will likely make a strong comeback when Jackson comes back and the Ravens will probably win their Division.

Another coach that has coached there well past his time to go.

1933 uniform. No wonder they were bad for 50 years before noll.
Went out and bought a defense that a guy like Elliott on a 3rd and long under pressure for love throws it up to the tight end and not only does Eliot not see the pass but then can’t tackle the guy.
Steelers lost to cincy backup Flacco made him look great then last night couldn’t figure out that Green Bay had a tight end.

They weren't 5-1, but we get your point. I don't see how this can't be a losing season.

I call it the Tomlin slump. They start a nice winning streak only to be wiped out by a losing streak and then barely are able to make .500 by the end of the season. Usually they will get lucky enough to squeak into the playoffs, only to choke once again.

Tomlin doesn't have to work another day in his life. His wife owns a million dollar business that also produces NFL licensed products.

He can help make stuff.

I don't know the relative incomes of Tomlin and his wife but unless Tomlin and his wife are wasting a tremendous amount of money, Tomlin doesn't have to work another day in his life even if his wife never earned a cent.

His wife owns a huge boutique. He needs to go.

Incredibly weird season to be both a Penn State and Baltimore fan.

I don't think Baltimore wins the division even though the schedule sets up for a run to close out the season. Zero faith in the defense, not a ton of faith Lamar stays healthy and one of Harbaugh's issues is playing down to competition and dropping inexplicable games.

They remind me a lot of Penn State. Zero WR's. Vastly overrated defense, OL is shaky, crappy OC and questionable DC.

Non losing season……. That’s the new measure in western PA.

The standard is the standard…….. even if it’s pretty low. ;)

Mike Franklin s waste of Steeler fans time goes directly to the stubborn stupidity of the Rooneys. Anywhere else and he would've been long canned.

The Steelers last playoff win was in 2016. Only six teams have longer active droughts. Dolphins (2000), Raiders (2002), Jets (2010), Bears (2010), Panthers (2015), and Cardinals (2015). I think it's safe to say none of those teams will get a playoff win this year. Even the freakin' Browns won a playoff game in 2020 - against the Steelers. Prior to that the Browns last playoff win was in 1994 before Modell moved the team to Baltimore. Their coach was Bill Belichick.
