No doubt, Mike Tomlin’s fingerprints are all over this defense, which is something that also needs to change, but if he’s not going anywhere we need to at least get another defensive guru with a headset, and Teryl Austin just isn’t that guy to me, unfortunately. It’s still such a damn shame to me that we had Brian Flores in the building on our defensive staff, and we let him get away.

No doubt, Mike Tomlin’s fingerprints are all over this defense, which is something that also needs to change, but if he’s not going anywhere we need to at least get another defensive guru with a headset, and Teryl Austin just isn’t that guy to me, unfortunately.

…what has happened to us in recent years has been absolutely miserable, and unfortunately, there’s nothing that they’re going to add this offseason that’s going to make the result any different or any less disappointing next season. We are in purgatory, and will be until we find a real difference maker at the QB position, and put enough weapons around them.
It’s hard to find the gusto to be TRULY excited about this game. Obviously, what took place with this team throughout the month of December was not ideal, but it truly means absolutely nothing today. The bracket is set in stone, and the potentially magic run for the Pittsburgh Steelers begins in Baltimore.
I wanted to kinda look over some numbers and see exactly how much Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and Arthur Smith “boosted” this offense from last year, following an entire overhaul of the QB room and the firing and hiring of offensive coordinator(s).
From 10-3, in control of the division, and competing for the #1 seed, to 10-7, and in absolute freefall, now needing to buckle up for a wild card matchup in Baltimore.
Obviously, this fanbases’ vibes are at a season low, and I am in that sad little boat floatin’ dahn the river with yinz. I tend to be a little less pessimistic than most of you, but I will say this: if the Steelers lose this game today, and have to go to Baltimore in the wild card round of the playoffs, where they likely lose, Mike Tomlin’s ass is going to be on fire his seat will be so hot.
With that being said, there’s some clear issues on this team, and we’re at the point in the season where your team just kinda is what it is, so I’d like to go over those issues and what my thoughts are on how the Steelers should address them both this season and moving forward. But, first, let’s recap the Chiefs.
Still, between the Eagles-Ravens-Chiefs gauntlet that we’re in the middle of right now, I think this is the most winnable game of the three. I know that sounds crazy, but hear me out..,.
Thankfully, the Steelers still have the better record against our conference than the Ravens, so they still ‘control their own destiny’ so to speak, to win the AFC North and host a playoff game in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh Stuff
Don’t look now, but the Pirates have won 8 of their last 10 games, and sit just a half game back from the final wild card spot, which is currently held by the Mets.
I urge all of yinz to look at the images in the poster, and call the numbers at the bottom if you have any information on her whereabouts.
Pittsburgh will host the NFL Draft in 2026; a first for the city since the draft left its home in New York back in 2015.
PGHistory
I had to get the full story from the horse’s mouth. In this case, the horse is Jason Kirin, a writer and researcher of Pittsburgh’s history of violence against sex workers; work he does in honor of his grandmother, Shirley Cavanaugh, who is the subject of the aforementioned book.
On a cold winter day in 1986, Frank Furko walked into the Animal Rescue League in Pittsburgh, thinking he would take a look at the dogs and maybe adopt one if he could find one that was nice. While he was there, a little, pudgy, orange tabby cat caught his eye.
By the end of the day on March 13th, nearly two feet of snow covered the region, courtesy of what is now referred to as the Storm of the Century.
