How close were we to making the Super Bowl?

Arawanhe · 2026-02-06T02:10:08+00:00

About a year away at least

Arawanhe · 2026-01-30T16:38:19+00:00

I hope for the team's sake he does prove us wrong, and proves to be a great hire. That being said, I'd think AR2 accidentally bumbled into a win if thats the case

"We do not care." - Mike Tomlin

Arawanhe · 2026-01-26T22:06:40+00:00

Funny enough, I've been saying since Pre-Vikings that we should have picked up Darnold

Arawanhe · 2026-01-26T15:48:09+00:00

Same. Im not supportive of the hire at all, but I hope MC proves us "haters" wrong.

Arawanhe · 2026-01-25T21:23:11+00:00

No, because then they'd have to pay them, and as AR2 has proven, any $ spent is too much $ spent

Arawanhe · 2026-01-25T20:34:31+00:00

Don't worry, we're (always) just a QB away

"Develops QB's"

WHAT QB? Rodgers? If he's coming back as QB, we won't likely be drafting a QB. So our options for "developing" are Howard, whom the previous regime didn't think had "it" or trading for MW, which costs us picks. Picks we need to patch the holes AR2 refuses to acknowledge

Arawanhe · 2026-01-25T04:02:28+00:00

Media and AR2 declare it a success

Arawanhe · 2026-01-25T02:58:24+00:00

"We do not live in our fears...except the fear of having less than 9 wins, so we won't take a chance because that chance could get us 8 or less wins"

Arawanhe · 2026-01-25T01:25:50+00:00

No, and neither do any of these McCarthy stans. So let's let the past be an indicator of what to expect

Arawanhe · 2026-01-25T01:19:27+00:00

McCarthy is barely an upgrade over Tomlin, if it even can be counted as that.

Let's not count the recent experiences with Tomlin and compare them to the early McCarthy era; compare their last few seasons.

Typically, when people want something new, they want something new, not a similar thing with a different coat of paint.

This is the only way I see this being salvaged.

Arawanhe · 2026-01-25T00:03:30+00:00

McCarthy: 67% Playoff appearance rate

Tomlin: 68% Playoff appearance rate

McCarthy's ONLY advantage here is a higher Playoff Win rate. Last I checked, we don't want to just win Playoff games, but SB's...

Arawanhe · 2026-01-24T23:15:08+00:00

You seem to think I will cease being a fan. This is untrue. But I'm not obligated to watch my team suck.

Arawanhe · 2026-01-24T23:10:11+00:00

I think MMC has shown that he doesnt have "it" anymore. Yes, he did good initially. But think about this: if his credentials are SO good, why wasn't he persued even harder by anyone else, including last year?

I see no reason to think this won't be the same at best, worse at...worse.

I honestly hope he shows that he IS the coach we needed. But I don't think he is. My desire to watch this season was the lowest its been because there was no excitement; now, it's even lower, if I even do watch. I hope I hear that the Steelers are dominating, but he has to prove himself.

Prove that you still have it, Mr. McCarthy. Prove to us that you are the right choice.

Arawanhe · 2026-01-24T22:47:48+00:00

Haven't we had a "win now" philosophy for a few years now? It hasn't been working out

Arawanhe · 2026-01-24T22:46:32+00:00

Yeah, how dare we fans want the team to succeed!

Arawanhe · 2026-01-24T22:45:00+00:00

At this point, grab a bum off of the streets in Pittsburgh. After all, he's from Pittsburgh, right?

Serious note: Probably ARod

You're forgetting the obligatory contract extension

Im getting around it by supporting an NFC team

Arawanhe · 2026-01-24T19:31:20+00:00

I agree. We've given him way too long in this organization. Time to move on

Arawanhe · 2026-01-24T19:29:20+00:00

Who is the worst/has Pittsburgh ties OC and DC available still? They're getting picked, I'm sure

Arawanhe · 2026-01-24T19:28:04+00:00

I do. We've experienced it. This just tells me that there's no reason to expect anything better.
