Watt now in concussion protocol.
So potentially all 4 starting linebackers out next week if Highsmith and Watt can’t play. Awesome. Colts and Texans could both pass us up this weekend and losing to the Colts next week could put the nail in the coffin of playoff hopes.
Honestly, the season is done if Mitch starts and one playoff game at best. 7-10 is a better draft pick than 9-8 and we’ll stop hearing about how Tomlin has never had a losing record. Because of the Steelers standards (Super Bowl or bust), Tomlin is winless since 2016. A lot like Sullivan (2017-18).

Clean out the entire coaching staff, see what the new staff wants to do with Pickett and go from there. Trade Tomlin to Carolina for a first? That goofy owner just might do that.

Is it just me, or do others think the announcers should quote South Park whenever Pickett gets sacked?

Since I think the Steelers goals should be a 7-10 record with higher draft picks, Trubisky is the perfect option.

I think with Pickett this team is iffy for a playoff run but with Mitch I’d be surprised if they make the playoffs. I think Mason is between the two of them. I think they’d be better off losing out and getting a better draft pick than to make the playoffs and get blown out in the 1st round.

Thanks Minnesota for being garbage today. A loss today will make the playoffs very difficult for the Steelers.

Mitch is was in, fumbled in the end zone without going down and Harris picks it up at the 1 and runs in. That’s a TD either way. These **** refs.

Learned something new that sounded totally fake, only the player that fumbles on 4th down can pick it up or it’s dead? That’s so stupid.

That's the Ken Stabler rule. Remember his "fumble" that went 10 yard's to the end zone.

I thought that was only for forward fumbles no matter what down. This was backwards and was specific to it being 4th down.

What the absolute **** is Kezee supposed to do there. If the pass was on target and the WR didn’t leap forward for it then Kezee is hitting him clean in the chest. That’s on Minchew and Pittman.

This team might not win another game. Not firing Canada last January is one reason why we are in this mess. But Tomlin is a bigger problem.

That's right. Not sure about the 4th down one then.

This team has all sorts of problems, but holy crap Mitch has to be the worst backup QB I can remember in ages. Would Mason Rudolph really be any worse? Hell, call up Charlie Batch if this is the level of play we're gonna get.

Pathetic team is pathetic. Come on 7-10! Get one way tickets out of town for Tomlin and Sully on the same bus.

I think the team has too much talent to be this bad. What should be at least a 10-4 or 11-3 team is on the verge of last place in the division. Even with the injuries this team should be better.

The Steelers and Penguins have a lot in common, but specifically bad coaching with stale schemes.

Rudolph starting Saturday. Should be interesting either way this goes. I’m guessing a 45-44 loss somehow.

44 points? LOLOLOLOL. DelPen going for the funnee.

It would be something if Rudolph comes in and plays extremely better than Pickett and Trubiski have. That would be hilarious. Not holding my breath tho.

I hope he does play better. I think he was starting to improve before the Thomas hit and hasn't really had a chance since. I'd have rather seen what the team had in Rudolph before drafting a new QB. I think Pickett is an NFL caliber QB, but not a Super Bowl winning caliber QB. The Andy Dalton comparisons are pretty accurate.
