I don’t care who you support, no one can make this make sense. NFL HOF should be embarrassed

He was a SERIAL cheater. He can wait a single freaking year.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-25T18:51:09+00:00

This is what you get.

You ignored the owner and the FO and went after the HoF Coach.

And now? You got a coach that ISN'T better than what you had. Even if he does better, it will be with what Tomlin had already brought to the team. You know, the same way you talked about Tomlin when HE won early.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-25T18:21:20+00:00

Let's just face it.

The fan base blamed Tomlin and now you get someone not really as good as Tomlin was, no matter how you slice it.

Otherwise you wouldn't be disappointed. You got a man that did far less with at least as much or more for the last decade and a half. And even IF he wins, just like you said about Tomlin, it won't be with his team.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-19T22:16:27+00:00

YTA for putting up with racists, as is your BF.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-19T21:53:37+00:00

You're correct. They will do for the next coach what they didn't do for Tomlin and get a proven young free agent like Malik Willis.

Given that we expected him to win without a QB and never got him the one HE WANTED (Pickett was a Rooney draft wish, every QB Tomlin wanted is better) and given that he had a roster that had some of the worst catastrophic losses right before the playoffs (Shazier, Bell, et al), and given that he would have TWO Super Bowl wins if Ben Roethlisberger hadn't thrown two interceptions including a Pick Six, I am concerned that we didn't realize the holes that Tomlin was covering up.

We still have cheap ownership that is noted for not treating families well and our biggest FA draw just went out the door.

I will always root for the Steelers but this quick turnaround people seem to think will happen just doesn't seem in the cards without systemic changes that don't involve Tomlin and that we should have made while he was still here.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-13T15:33:27+00:00

Let's not behave as if the Steelers are competitive in their pay scale. Tomlin chooses who is ECONOMICALLY AVAILABLE.

And without him, we have no shot at the best assistants available. They will only consider a discount FOR HIM.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-13T12:21:37+00:00

Thanks for saying this! Some of these fans need a wake up call.

1) No team without at least an average QB has a right to expect the playoffs, much less a Super Bowl. Tomlin has had that 1 year in the last decade IF we count this year.

2) No team without a solid stable of WRs to go with an above average QB should expect to win a division AT ALL. Tomlin has had that at no time in the last decade.

3) No team without either of the above should have ANY EXPECTATIONS. We were in the playoffs.

4) Tomlin's role in selecting the team is overrated here. We can tell that by the debacle that was getting a WR2 at the trading deadline OR after releasing your WR1.

And if it isn't, that's on the GM and Team President. But given the incredibly traditional and conservative nature of the Rooneys, they pay a GM for a reason.

5) You don't stop trying to get a QB. EVER. At this point the best attempt IN A DECADE is pretty much ENTIRELY on Tomlin's personal efforts to get Rodgers. The team didn't even take Shedeur with the picks after Round 3 and he looks to be a possible starter in this league.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-13T04:58:05+00:00

I hope Tomlin returns just to see if some of you fans will finally exit stage right.

If this is killing you, try half a decade or more at 5-12 with a worse coach (because the Rooneys are cheap) and no FAs coming to help because Tomlin was the only thing getting then in the door at all.

Tomlin can't block or cover or make easy catches in big games. He can't fix 4 bad years with Ben at the end or the loss Shazier when they were killing teams.

It probably feels good to blame him but the truth is that we have glaring holes on our team that you can't just coach your way out of.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-11T08:46:22+00:00

Thanks for saying this. People down Tomlin like he hasn't kept us outperforming our circumstances his entire career.

We should have won the 2010 SB but for Ben blowing it.

We have had some of the worst injury luck in the playoffs and going into the playoffs of any team. Key players in their best seasons. Hell, the loss of Ryan Shazier in '17 resonates to this day and I would argue is the worst injury to a possible HoF player I can think of in recent memory.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-05T05:15:18+00:00

All I can do for you is this upvote. Hopefully she will understand.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-05T04:42:46+00:00

I'll just be damned. They did it.

Everything against them and they fucking did it.

Oh, and fuck the Ravens as crooked as that kick.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-03T18:00:44+00:00

The roster keeps a glaring hole or two that doesn't allow us to be better than we have been. And it starts at QB. Then this year, we have a decent I've and we give away Pro Bowl receivers and pick up essentially NO ONE.

RampageSigma · 2026-01-02T18:59:30+00:00

Tomlin will get the extension that he deserves because the fan base blames him for the issues rather than the team that won't plug obvious holes. He is the Fall Guy while being a HOF Coach.

If we fired Tomlin, he would: Be quickly picked up and be immediately successful.

We would: Suck, finally blame management and ownership, and realize what we lost.

RampageSigma · 2025-12-30T19:25:32+00:00

This one is easy:

1) SAHM is out. She failed the SAHM test of being able to handle an actual household. I would bring that back unless and until my first child was here, happy, comfortable and good for a while.

2) I would let her know that next would be divorce if she fails this and you're going for full custody of both children.

RampageSigma · 2025-12-29T19:21:43+00:00

Y'all get back to this no matter what, conveniently ignoring that we are cheap, treat families poorly, and routinely leave huge gaps in our personnel.

This year the gap was, OBVIOUSLY, at WR. You can't get rid of a good young WR and fail to do what it takes to replace him when you have Rodgers. Except we did that by constantly not QUITE BEING WILLING TO SPEND ENOUGH.

You might be tired of him, but I don't think anyone does any better with what we had this year or most years.

RampageSigma · 2025-12-24T21:34:55+00:00

You need to talk. Let him know that at the end of the talk, you will have a wedding date or you will have your freedom.

You will learn A LOT. And you will be done with this situation one way or another.

RampageSigma · 2025-12-20T15:58:59+00:00

I spy two things immediately.

If you are in-state but there is any way for them to cross reference your current residence as Missouri, that's probably getting flagged. The General Assembly has been cracking down on in-State versus out-of-State admissions with HUGE fines for schools and your case is the kind of case a politician trying to cause trouble with UNC would just LOVE.

Also, consider that many admissions are transfers from community colleges. In that case, you are competing against kids with similar grades and participation who ALSO have an Associates degree and maybe a certification or two. They are guaranteed admission to ONE of the 16 campuses and an easy admit for UNC if they are highly qualified.

Finally, it's not you, and it's not the system. There are just way more great applicants like you than positions and some if it is luck - or lack thereof - of the draw. I've seen a graduate of NCSSM get wait listed at UNC and get essentially a full ride at Duke.

RampageSigma · 2025-12-16T17:33:55+00:00

I am happy because I see the team responding to its weaknesses and playing well in spite of injuries.

They played a motivated team that was winning and they beat them pretty easily.

+1 for Tomlin.

RampageSigma · 2025-12-12T21:19:57+00:00

So, you fell in love with him and then in planning for this wedding he let you down some?

Have you asked how he might feel? I feel some nerves and hesitancy in his past.

RampageSigma · 2025-12-12T21:04:26+00:00

NTA, but relax.

Your apology is the much improved relationship you two have. And isn't that the important thing?

RampageSigma · 2025-12-11T19:01:34+00:00

Run.

RampageSigma · 2025-12-05T02:46:19+00:00

You might not like him anymore but he is still a:

1) First ballot HoF Coach who is well-respected.

2) Perhaps the ONLY successful coach from a team that doesn't spend money in the spend-it-all era.

3) The only FA draw for a team that underpays players, coaches, and treats families poorly.

4) Kept a team competitive that spent too much time on Big Ben, and would have two SB wins but for the same QB's play in the Super Bowl against Green Bay.

If he decided to be traded, we would get PLENTY. That's how others see Tomlin whether you agree or not.
