the steelers are doing what desperate teams do :patrice:
one year of washed up arod now a 30-year old Ramsey for Minkah

they arent really contenders but they are acting like its their last chance...I dont get it
They haven't won a playoff game in 8 seasons. Add in the fact that Tomlin's been there 18 years I think this might be the last go round. If they do another 10-7/9-8 lose in the WC round this year I think they start fresh at QB and HC.

Tomlin signed a three year extension last year keeping him on as the coach through the 2027 season. I think at the very least he'll complete that contract regardless what happens this upcoming season. After 2027? Who knows

I dunno. I just think it’s run its course. I’m not saying Tomlin is a bad coach I’d take him on the Jets tomorrow - I just think 20 years is a long time for any relationship.

Going all in with players past their prime...what the hell are the Steelers doing. They could have simply tanked for a good upcoming QB class in the 2026 draft. Instead they're gonna win 6-9 games depending on how quickly Rodgers falls apart. It's gonna happen.

This is a bad trade. Minkah is objectively a better, more impactful player and still only 28. Trotting out Slay and Ramsay as your CBs in 2025 seems insane...

I'm not against Tomlin leaving, I just don't think it happens before his contract is up. 20 years is a long time and it's been 17 years since we won a SB and 15 since we've even been in one. When I look at coaches that were somewhere a long time I can't think of one besides Beli that won another SB with the same team after a long drought and his was only 10 years. A fresh voice would probably be best for the organization. The same way it was when Noll and Cowher retired.

No.



Stop talkin this halas hall madness.


Till tomlin loses consistently.
With no wherewithal in how to ramp from losing over time.
We keep tomlin.

All that other shyt is silly and stoopid.

All we have to do is properly staff this team from real scouting and a non racist eye in the front office.

All that other fire tomlin talk is trick bag stumble into mediocrity doldrums of halas hall hell talk.

Do not start that shyt over here.
after that tomczak shyt from last year.

Do not start it over here.

You can gladly go to the bears.
To be on their new halas hall arlington bears kick.
if you want to indulge.
in that types of pr to team nonsense.

Do not bring that halas hall tomczak talk over here.

You know better than this.
Rivers.

You are better than this.

Jalen used to go crazy against the Steelers. It’ll be weird seeing him in that uniform but I guess that’s where he is in his career now. Time flies

I assume Porter Jr. is one of the starting CBs, and he doesn't strike me as a slot man. Now, this is fabulous for HIS development in terms of learning from Slay/Ramsey, but this move seems ignorant as hell unless Ramsey's playing safety.

Can he? Sure, but lack of turnovers aside, Minkah's a top 5 safety IMO. I don't know who else they have at safety, but that's a big loss. Ramsey can make that transition, I'm sure, but he has to make it quickly.

Jonnu/Muth ought to be a strong TE duo, so I guess that's the good part of it.
