Right. We generally compete pretty well directly with AFCN teams. It's the indirect way that we don't compete as well. Our division rivals are better against those other teams than we have been.

The entire offensive staff, including Tomlin, should be ripped for EVERYTHING related to THAT offense for the past 2 seasons. It's been an epic embarrassment.
These camp "competitions" are a joke unless you really have 2-3 guys that you know almost nothing about. Especially when the pole position guy gets most of the reps with the first team.
Does...
If I was forced to bet $1,000 on it, I'd go with Wilson to start. Tomlin isn't going to start the younger guy who's done nothing in the league vs. the guy with 2 super bowl visits, coming off a...
What's the average playoff drought for playoff WINS?
No, changing coaches guarantees nothing. But at some point, a coach gets stale. You can't just keep doing the same things over and over again and expect things to change. The cheaters jettisoned...
And some of the worst teams are in the best quadrant.
But how is KC in the good quadrant for money to spend? With the best QB in the league and having just won the Super Bowl? Ugh!!
Yeah, I would expect any first round draft pick QB who was the team's starter that season, to want to play. To expect to play. To be Pissed off about being replaced. Especially coming off his best...
Three very painful memories unfortunately. Jax. Tebow. Brady.
I'm ready for a new, much more positive memory please! Thankfully, I have a very good memory of the 2008 season. God, that super...
No one hates a winning season. What people hate - including myself - is that it has become the new "standard" in Pittsburgh. Not because it is Tomlin intentionally setting that standard. It's just...
Fair enough.
Regarding the success late in games despite the scheme, I think the handcuffs were taken off, which enabled Kenny to play more aggressively and move the ball. We saw that for an...
I would agree with this except the offense was mostly awful with Ben at the end. It was the most awful with Mitch. And it was awful with Kenny. Until the 4th quarters of games and until Canada was...
Yeah, it can work. But the stars have to align and the team's stars all have to stay healthy. At some point, X's and O's matter. Somehow, we seem to have a complex enough D that it's difficult for...
Yeah, I think this was posted in another thread somewhere too.
I'd guess it went down something like that but maybe not quite as cold.
But there's been a history of players feeling like Tomlin...
It's kinda funny how much I agree with your take on Kenny and with our current QB situation. For some reason, I felt (no pun intended) that you'd be all in for the Wilson/Fields QB room makeover.
...
I definitely don't think it was all Canada. I just think we did the worst possible job we could do with a rookie QB, immediately post Ben. Get a bad vet QB on the cheap, a bad offensive coordinator...
Eh, we've heard similar things before from other players including Tom Brady. The Steelers generally do-what-they-do. And over the past decade+, when they have made the playoffs, the defense got...
Like Fields? Or Haskins? :p
I've wondered that too but the QB position is so important that it would be difficult to manage the 2 players to keep them right-minded. It's the one position where it's essentially HIS offense. As...
That's probably also be true of Kenny after 2 years, given the coordinator, o-line and offensive philosophy he had to play under. That's what burns me about the situation. We saw 4th quarter...
Apparently my attempt at humor didn't land!
Humor aside, I think it's quite plausible that Mason communicated with Kenny and informed him of what happened, which prompted Kenny to go to Tomlin...
XO Chess matches don't seem to be our thing unfortunately. The way our D folds at times is another unkind reflection on Tomlin.
Rooney has put more pressure on the situation than he ever has before. "We've had enough of this. It's time to get some wins. It's time to take these next steps."
That's not an owner showing...
Or just misinformed.
Hmmm... why?
The only thing that stands out to me as the difference between the two is Fields can/has run for a LOT more yards. So, if we want a running QB, he's the guy.
We can all talk...
