Ruthlinsberger .... where you at????

[Ernie]

What I know; if the Steelers had gone into that game against the Browns with the #1 defense and scraped by with a 2 point win against a rookie QB there would be incessant whining about how the Steelers underachieved.

In case you haven't noticed... the "Browns" team you are referring to.... no longer exists..

[Steel Maniac]

What do you mean there is no way? They were right there if Landry catches that out they are in field goal range and if the refs didn't blow inexplicably blow that fumble dead or if they didn't miss the field goal at the end of the half. Your case that "there is no way" the Browns win that game is obviously wrong as they had many opportunity to win that game.

If, if, if, if, if...if my aunt had a package, she'd be my uncle. If, if, if.............

Martindale showed the Steelers how to play defense on that last drive. No soft zones on 3rd and long lol

I know huh?? He went after Mayfield 3 straight times and broke him down! That's how you treat a rookie QB at home! Get after his @ss.

[Steel Maniac]

All I know is... both 4pm games yesterday showed us how the division will likely play out next year... The top 2 teams played in Baltimore... and the bottom 2 played in Pittsburg.

Yeah..kinda looks that way right now. But I'm still not sold on Jackson long term. To me, he still can't read defenses well enough to pass consistently. He's doing what RG3 did his rookie year; cutting off half the field and only having to figure out the other side because he can't read the field in totality. I think because of the run/option that the Ravens are running , plus the defense they possess, they are hard to scheme for in a one week setting. But Jackson's current style of play isn't conducive long term.

Let me reword it for you:
If the Steelers had the #1 defense and gone into the game against the Browns with a rookie QB, and scraped by with a 2 pt win, there would be incessant whining about underachieving.
But BAL did it right by sending the house on every play at the end. I reiterate, they did the same thing last season against CIN, lost, and sat at home. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't.

You "Reworded it" for you.... lol.

Not me.

jackson may not be effective 'long term' but he will be 'long enough' for the next year or two(when ben is done)

Time will tell; because every running QB ultimately gets caught and hit by someone he didn't see. Ask Vick, ask RG3. You can't keep running like that and have a real career. A Qb's real job is to be able to pass. There is a position called "runningback" which is used to run the ball. I'm happy that the Ravens have Jackson. Because I think he's ultimately a bust.

"If" Ruthless ACTUALLY predicted the Browns WOULD win you'd have a point.

As it was he never did, therefore the entire premise of this thread is incorrect.

[Steel Maniac]

Ruth sided with Browns to win the game. That's a prediction. Next.

[RobinCole]

“Siding” with a team means to root for that team. How is that a prediction? Next babble.

By the way, you’re as happy as a pig in slop right now, aren’t you?

You're like the dude that always has to win the argument no matter how weak your position is. Ruthless never 'sided' with the Browns winning. I've noticed on your posts you seem to read words that simply aren't there. Maybe there are some meds for that.

Nooo..not really. Because when you look at our team over the last 6 years, this team should have made at least one super bowl. But because of massive underachievement, they haven't delivered.

To me, we are on a journey; and the journey is to remove deadweight so this franchise can go forward. We will never, ever win another Super Bowl with Tomlin as our head coach. So they day he's removed is the day we can move forward to our next Super Bowl win.

Yesterday was a day when the blindfold was ripped off for everyone to see. Everyone meaning those on the fence about Tomlin; and for management to finally see what Tomlin has really done the last 6-7 years. We are on the verge of change. And we need change. Because nothing positive is going to happen for us until he's gone.

Sometimes in life, you need to take a step back to ultimately take numerous steps forward. This is one of those situations. Most of the "we need to keep Tomlin because of 10 wins a year " crowd can't see that. And I get that most can't. That's why I'm adamant about his dismissal. I'm as big a fan of the Steelers as anybody but I see what we need and have seen it for over 4 years now. If I can help you see it , then that's a good thing.

Oh, back to Ruth; He predicted a Browns win. So much so, I told him to meet back in this poster room right after the game so I can show him how wrong he was. He has yet to show up. He knows he predicted a Browns win. So much so, he's MIA.
