Pittsburgh Steelers (official thread)

That was what was done to WR's coming across the middle back then by any team. It's not a Steelers thing.

Look at what our very own Jack Tatum is most famous for.
I know. And what he did was dirty as hell, too. But the Steelers lived off it, and are still living off it. And getting away with it because that's the identity they got to create way back when.

That's my point of disagreement. It wasn't dirty no matter who did it back then. It was just football.

I think it's disingenuous to look at yesterday though today's lens in any aspect of life.

I'm not looking at it through today's lense. I'm looking at it from a "did you really need to try and decapitate that player?" lense. I hate that it was allowed then as much as now. It's grotesque.

Tomlin under contract at least for 26, team option for 27 that has to be picked up by March - that will be telling to me. They need to move on from the entire coaching staff.

Resign Kenny G because he is actually good. Next OC needs to use Patty Fries, dude makes plays when they used him.

Good news for me at least from the game was Jack showed flashes again, needs more playing time but looks like he's going to be just fine

Rooney thanked Tomlin for his "hard work, dedication and success" over the past 19 years. And said it was "hard for me to put into words the level of respect and appreciation I have for coach Tomlin."

Tomlin released his own statement, thanking Rooney and Steelers players, coaches and fans for their support during his near-two-decade tenure as Pittsburgh's coach.

"While this chapter comes to a close, my respect and love for the Pittsburgh Steelers will never change," Tomlin said. "I am excited for what the future holds for this franchise, and I will forever be grateful for my time coaching in Pittsburgh."

Just sayin': Tomlin leaves the Steelers same way he coached them for 19 seasons, i.e. classy. Also, the Steelers probably have the best ownership in the NFL too.
