Pittsburgh's Sissy Fans: (did I really say that?) :-0
-
I'm starting to think the Steelers will never fire a head coach again.
They haven't fired a head coach since 1968 or 1969.
Sweet Jesus.
It was 1968 the year I graduated high school, 50 years ago
From 1933-1968 they only had TWO coaches with barely over .500 records. 50 freakin years.
-
The Tet Offensive is more historically recent than the Steelers last firing of a head coach. Wow.
Just a technicality but the Tet offensive in 1968 was very early (Jan-Feb) and the Steelers fired Austin after the 1968 season.

Oh yeah... For some reason I was thinking Tet happened at the beginning of '69, not '68.

Yeah I graduated high school in 1968 started college in 1968~1969 year 1 I thought the new pit coach took over in the fall of 1969......still 50ish years ago.
1968 was a wild year Tet, RFK, MLK assassinated, riots, a lot of stuff.

I don't have a Steeler jersey, although I did have a Terry Bradshaw replica game jersey back in the day. Steelers are a great team. I was sad to see them lose, expecially because they were the best team in the AFC. Tomlin is Hue. Tomlin is Marty and Bernie all rolled in to one turd. 4th and a foot, they have a huge QB, and they call a pitchout? WTF?
I hate to see ANYONE play prevent-win football. Marty and Bernie were the creators of it, the masters of it, and now, we see most NFL teams playing not to lose. Todays was a prime example.
I like the Steelers, what can I say? They are a far better franchise than the Browns. This cannot be debated, and one can only hope that Haslam sells or moves the team. Ben showed why he is headed to the HOF on the first ballot. He made some great throws, even though, like Brady, his release has grown slow.
LOL,, Go become a stooler fan Tommy... I'm glad they got theyre asses kicked.. they deserved it..

They deserved it? They would laugh at you saying the Browns deserved to go 0 - 16.
Who laughs the loudest Nick? No Browns fan has anything to laugh at Steeler fans about. They went 13 - 4 and again went to the playoffs. Oh my God, how horrible for Steeler fans that they got to play in the playoffs. OMG, that is so fukcing embarrassing.
But hey, go ahead, ask a Falcon, Saints, Titans, Chiefs, fan how much rather they would have been a Browns fan this year. Ask them how horrible it was to be in the playoffs instead of having an 0 - 16 circle-jerk or a parade while everyone else was playing football.
Dude, Every year, 32 teams contend for the playoffs. Only 2 go to the show, and only 1 wins. The Steelers had a ticket to the event. They lost whil trying to accomplish something historical. The Browns haven't won a fukcking game in 2 years.
Front runners? Yeah..............BROWNS FANS ARE FRAKs

The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -
Unlike our beloved Brownies who have a rookie quarterback , well second year guy shortly and zero deep threats the steelrz have the best WR in the NFL (and on my FL) and a good bunch of other targets. A decent OL oh yeah and one of the best RBs in football......unless he retires. Return? Not really a terribly difficult decision for the big ox but I hope he retires......or comes to Cleveland
Why would Bell retire? I understand actually that he is to be an unrestricted FA. Correct me if that is wrong.

Because they won't give him a contract.

Awww, does someone need his pacifier? So today you're not a Browns' fan again? Gee, nobody saw that coming.
Your Pittsburgh was trying to accomplish something historical or hysterical? I know I laughed my A$$$ off while you cried like a baby.

Not sure why they should. They should have known...just as I knew that their defense was not up to caliber.
Even if there is some glimmer of truth in what Glommie has to say: that Offense wins championships.....then it is also true to say that an inadequate defense can LOSE championships....even if you have the offense. Had it happened...had they by chance gotten by the Jags....then Tom Brady would have carved up that defense like they were the Thanksgiving Turkey. But the Jags....with Blake Bortles and Fournette, did it instead to save them the embarassment.
I'm thinking that catch they gave Harris credit for years back should be disallowed too. After all, this is the era of replay and getting it right. Immaculate? More like imaginary. And they complain about pats fans...lol

Under today's rule...that play would have been no big thing. The only reason it was an issue then was because a rule stated that one offensive player could not tip a ball and have another offensive player catch it...unless a defensive player touched the ball as well in between. Today...it is just a tipped pass.
Besides....as far as "Greatest Plays Ever" in the pantheon of NFL history....this Minnesota Miracle could trump them all.

And, of course, that would be stupid. Lets see...instead of playing football and getting paid 10 million a year (or whatever)...I will go bag groceries or sell insurance. Effing brilliant.

Your options are: A. play for us for the 10 mill (or whatever) B. or sit your butt down somewhere and lose at least a full season...which to a running back which has a short life span...is a big chunk of his career. If you do the latter then it is good for us for two reasons: A. We don't have to pay you, and B. We don't have to face you next year.

Nickers,
how do you know the Steelers were looking past the Jags? Anything can happen in football man. The Steelers got outplayed, that's what I saw. It wasn't an butt kicking, but they didn't have answers for what Jax did.
But, wait, if you are saying the reason the Steelers lost was because they let down...........then essentially doesn't that make you a Steeler fan? It does, because essentially what you are saying is you see the Steelers as a superior team who gave this game away to a lesser team. THAT is the same crying-in-one's-beer narrative that a Steeler fan espouses.
" Boo Hoo....we are the better team but we looked past Jax when we should have killed them"
You gotta make up your mind bro? Are YOU a Steelers fan? It seems you are, and that you believe your team let one get away.
LMAO.
You know I luv ya MAH NIKKAZ

The bottom line , whether or not you like them.. They clearly got beat and manhandled by the superior team.. They got "Pittsburghed" by the Jags... They got taste of they're own medicine , basically...

Bell's situation is a little bit foggy Gip, as his franchise tag expires at the end of the league year, making him an UFA again. Can the Steelers slap the Reserve\Retired tag on him? Not sure. He shouldn't be crying about being franchised- because he made more- way more than any other running back in 2017. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/contract-value/running-back/veteran/ If the Steelers tag him again he'll have more guaranteed money in his pocket than Devonta Freeman who currently has the fattest RB contract in the NFL.
"A player may write to the Commissioner stating their intent to retire. Upon approval of the Commissioner, the player can be added to the Reserve/Retired list. If this occurs before the start of training camp, that player must acknowledge that they will not be able to play for any team for the remainder of that season. Should a player decide to seek reinstatement after that season, they will only be eligible to play for the team from which they retired."

I don't think the Steelers "let down" or "looked past Jacksonville". I think they just got beat by a better team.
Steelers may have had the better QB...and the better WRs.....but I am not sure that Bell is any better than Fournette. Both are outstanding...and that was a wash. Steelers probably have the better OL. But the Jags had the far superior defense.
And that made all the difference...even though they gave up 42 points. The game only appeared to be as close as it seemed because the Steelers scored a TD with one second left.

I suppose if worst comes to worst....the Steelers and Bell can always enter into a "long term" deal. (Whatever long term means to an NFL RB).
Of course, maybe, just maybe the Steelers are thinking: "We have squeezed this turkey sufficiently. We have gotten the best 5 years of his career out of him. He will be entering his 6th season in the NFL...and NFL RBs have an average career of only about 3 years. Let this arsewipe walk. We can pick up another good RB in the draft...and maybe we can make this kid James Conner into a Bell clone. As long as we have BR at the helm, our offense will move well. When LB was suspended for 4 games our offense did not miss a beat...so let him walk."
