I agree as well. Steelers record in prime time is impressive. 20-17 sounds good.Ok, I think we've beaten the MT 'is he or isn't he' upside the head for awhile. How about the upcoming game
I think the Steelers and the bills are mirror images. Tough D, pedestrian O. Both somewhat surprisingly in playoff contention. I think the switch to 8pm start will put the Steelers over the top. They do well primetime at home. No prediction on scores, but I'd take the under, whatever it is

I don't really care what a pack of idiots thinks
Welcome to the pack of idiots.Clearly you do care, because you respond in minutes. Just come out and say it: You hate Tomlin, for whatever reason or some past mistakes. It burns you up that he is in the discussion for coach of the year, and you make ridiculous statements to try to discredit him. The truth will set you free and make you feel better.
NOTE: In my earlier post, I mentioned the losses of Ben, AB, Leveon, Juju, and Conner. I forgot the big loss of Shazier, a great player. My mistake. And your claim is that he has a great roster and hasn't lost much. He has maybe the 30th best QB in the league now, and a bunch of lunch pail guys at RB and WR. 8-5 is an amazing record.
I respond when I’m online. It just so happened I was online then. Like now. Responding quickly doesn’t mean I care.
I don’t hate Tomlin, I just don’t think being a big hype man or emotional guy on the sidelines makes a great head coach. He’s basically this generation’s Mike Ditka.
The offense has a lot of talent. A great OL that has underperformed all season is the biggest reason for it being a basement unit. Not missing JuJu for a couple weeks. Not missing Conner, who isn’t even that good. Not Ben being hurt, because even when Ben was in their the OL sucked and they couldn’t move the ball. Having to use Rudolph just made a poorly coached offense perform even worse. Duck is surprisingly good, I don’t care if he wasn’t drafted or came into the season as the 4th string. That’s not an indication of his actual talent right now.
Point being: the offense should be better than 28th. That’s lower than the likes of Denver, NYG, Arizona, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati. There’s no excuse for that. None.
The thing is, none of the above is fact, it’s your opinion based on you biased opinion of Tomlin’s coaching ability. That Tomlin has somehow gritted out an 8-5 record with a short handed roster actually is a fact. Sorry.Juju/DJ/Washington/McDonald/(Conner/Samuels/Whyte/Snell) + OL is a better group than any of those teams. And I think you're overselling a lot of those players and underselling Duck - he's not asked to do a whole lot but he makes a lot of really nice throws and reads the defense well. We'll see how he progresses.
The biggest problem has been the OL, which hasn't performed well at all in most games. Secondly, they've been plagued by poor play-calling.
Based on talent, the offense should be in the middle of the league, not nearly last. In capable hands (not Fichtner's), that would be the reality.
It’s a demonstrable fact they are playing short handed at several key positions already pointed out.It’s more fact than shallow blanket statements like “short-handed roster”, which is actually the opposite of the case. The team is filled with Pro Bowlers on both sides of the ball.
Ok- the receivers. Juju has missed a lot of time. DJ is a mid round rookie from Toledo. Is that what you're hanging your hat on?Juju/DJ/Washington/McDonald/(Conner/Samuels/Whyte/Snell) + OL is a better group than any of those teams.

The RBs. Whyte is a practice squad guy and the other 3 have missed considerable time.
Say what you will about Duck, but he is a 3rd string free agent FCS player. He's doing what is asked of him, but they're not asking him to throw 35-40 times a game.
The OL and the skilled offensive players have a synergistic relationship. One makes the other better. Or worse. Do you think it's a coincidence that their play went down without All Pros like Ben, Bell and Brown?
But I, nor anyone else on this board will change your mind. Not even a deep playoff run by this team
Definitely.Crusader is the textbook example of partisan politics.
Steelers could go 19-0 and would give MT zero credit, but would give him full blame of one bad personnel or play call decision.
Wrong. You only give him patronizing support. I mean you called him a hype man. Lol.Wrong. I’ve given credit to a Tomlin for keeping the team up after losing Ben and starting 0-3. And I’ve given him credit for being able to draft quality WRs at an incredible rate. I don’t hate Tomlin. Unlike many others, I just don’t give him undue praise. To conclude Tomlin is responsible for this team being 8-5, you have to ignore literally every detail that says otherwise. I just don’t buy into the hype, and I’ve given my reasons.
Can an asst be the CoY? The ratbirds OC totally revamped and recreated his offense to feature this skills.If the Stillers make the playoffs and win one, Tomlin is a solid second to Harbaugh for CoY, and ‘saders is a lock for a meltdown

You're right. They aren't playoff caliber, but they make sneak in at #6. Tennessee has the Saints and Texans again. Then we will get the pleasure of going to either Kansas City or New EnglandGlad I decided to not go to this Trainwreck. Pitt ia not playoff caliber
