    A win is a win, but

    We aren't getting +5 turnovers again. And Watt may be gone for the year. The offense looked like crap. But hey we won! Happy for that, but sad for Watt and upset about barley winning with +5 turnovers. Lucky for us in add-on those +5 turnovers there long snapper got hurt. Otherwise we lose the game. Harris' injury better not be the same as his little bo-boo. Other backs make big plays, he doesn't. The defense deserves an A, the offense a D.
    Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

    Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

    It's the type of win you take, and don't look back.

    You won't win the turnover battle +5 weekly, nor will the other team's long snapper get hurt causing them to miss a chip shot.

    The problem coming out is the cost due to injuries going forward. Let's hope for the best.

      Did you see the play when Najee was injured?

      It's not up to the HC when it comes to an injury like that.

        Amazes me how some see the negative side of everything.

        Yes, we won't be +5 in turnovers every week, but also we won't have the same offensive misfires.

          I agree that play can't be predicted and nobody's fault, but something looked off with him prior to that.

            The Steelers have been +5 in turnovers in 100% of their games this season... You have no data from this season to support your claim... So are you using old data, or just making sh-tuff up??

                We will get +5 turnovers maybe once every 34 weeks. I believe it's even more uncommon than that. Our offensive with Mitch at QB and Harris at running back is poor. Our OL remains poor. I bet we are far more likely to have offensive misfires that +5 turnovers and an injury to the others teams long a snapper.

                This game could prove to be a costly win. The injuries.

                  Didn't you want Mitch to start over Kenny?

                      This will be only the beginning for the D injuries if the offense keeps leaving them out there until their dicks are dragging in the dirt.

                        Forget about there snapper getting hurt, if we just would have ran the ball twice at the end of the 4th and forced them to burn their timeouts we win in regulation. I can't for the life of me figure out what Canada was thinking.

                          I remember a year we lost Rod Woodson in week 1 and still went to the Super Bowl. Not saying we will do that this year, but you still have to play the games.

                          I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.
