TJ Watt lost out on DPOY to a guy he has more tackles, sacks, TFL’s, fumble recoveries, passes defensed, INT’s, QB hits, QB pressures, and touchdowns than.
Brutal.
Every NFL GM: Mike Tomlin is a great coach.
Every NFL Coach: Mike Tomlin is a great coach.
Every NFL broadcaster: Mike Tomlin is a great coach.
Every NFL player: Mike Tomlin is a great coach.
Steeler fans: Mike Tomlin stinks.
I loathe such a large part of this fan base 🥴
Mason Rudolph:
• Was KO’d vs the Ravens
• Assaulted by Garrett
• Had a “mentor” who never helped him
• Has been booed by his home fans countless times
• Was one of the first to reach out/congratulate both QB’s brought in to replace him
And has been nothing but class.
TJ Watt in the first 5 years of his career:
- Defensive Player of the Year
- 3x DPOY Finalist
- T-1st Single Season Sack Record
- 3x 1st Team All-Pro
- 2x NFL Sacks Leader
- 4x Pro Bowler
- 3x Team MVP
- 3rd Most Sacks in First 5 Seasons in NFL History
I don't have an attendance number, but rookie Terrell Edmunds signed an autograph for every single fan who wanted one from him. Over an hour and still going. Entire team is already showered and gone, & he hasn't even left the field yet. Very cool & made a lot of fans very happy.
Browns fans are WILD.
They watched the Steelers kick the living shit out of them for 20 years, humiliate them over and over and over again as the laughing stock of the league. Finally get a win and 8 months later still talk about it all day, every day.
Relax little brother.
Super disappointed in Steeler Nation at Heinz Field booing Mason Rudolph when he entered the game tonight.
I don’t give a damn if you don’t think he’s the future. He’s a Steeler. He’s never done anything to warrant being vilified the way he has been.
Look man. Myles Garrett is elite. He’s going to be a HOFer.
That being said, TJ Watt literally leads him in:
• Tackles
• Sacks
• QB Hits
• Passes Defensed
• INT’s
• Fumble Recoveries
• TD’s
They are tied in FF’s and TFL’s.
TJ Watt should be DPOY. It’s that simple.
Mike Tomlin isn’t stupid. He can see the same exact thing everyone else can see.
He knows Kenny and Canada aren’t good enough.
However, he can’t just publicly throw them under the bus. Unlike fans, he doesn’t get to just speak his mind whenever he pleases with no repercussions.
✔️ Ben not in MVP conversation
✔️ Chase not a top 10 rookie
✔️ TJ Watt not DPOY
✔️ Steelers behind in power rankings
✔️ “Weak Schedule”
It’s all noted and book marked 📝
The media has dragged us since last year. So keep up the disrespect and we’ll just keep kicking ass 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
“He’s a tackle machine, but he can’t cover.”
You know what? For 4 years I watched Devin Bush avoid contact. Runs that should’ve went for 3 yards went for 10 because 55 just stood there uninterested.
I’ll gladly take the tackle machine.
The
#Steelers
agreed to terms with former
#Commanders
LB Cole Holcomb earlier this week on a three-year deal pending physical, per source.
Holcomb, 26, has started 48 games for Washington. A big addition to Pittsburgh’s defense.
Kenny Pickett is such a problem.
Stop placing all the blame on Canada. Every week KP is missing wide open guys, bailing on clean pockets, not seeing the field, staring guys down, making poor decisions, etc.
Matt Canada is atrocious & needs fired. But the clock is ticking for 8.
Diontae Johnson is so good. But it’s the tiny mistakes he repeatedly makes that keep him from being one of the very best.
He’s got to get that first down.

TJ Watt.
With Watt: 59-26-2
Without Watt: 1-10
Almost triple the amount of sacks per game and nearly 7 PPG less allowed with him in the lineup. This is the first season they didn’t lead the league in sacks since he’s been drafted.

got WR Jerry Jeudy at half of his '20 draft classmate Justin Jefferson's record-setting $35 million a year before the receiver market went bonkers:
Joe Schobert didn’t pan out, but he DID have a couple game changing moments late in close games that the Steelers ended up winning.
INT vs the Titans and the FF against the Browns were huge plays at the time.
Thankful for your limited time here, Joe!

Why haven’t Sean Payton and Drew Brees been criticized even half as much as Tomlin/Ben?
That roster has been ridiculously stacked for YEARS and they have done nothing with it.
@bepryor
It’s comments like these from Pouncey that just make me laugh at the people who never stepped foot in the Steelers locker room, but somehow have the nerve to say Tomlin “lost it” lol.
@EAMaddenNFL
What did the Steelers do to hurt you? 😂😂 I’m actually fine with Najee not being top 10. But Watt tied the single season sack record in less games and won DPOY but isn’t the best edge? And 2x All-Pro Minkah Fitzpatrick not even top 10? 😂😂😂
Nobody cares because he escaped the sack & threw the game winner.
But KP drifted right into this pressure. If he’s sacked it’s 4th&15. Probably the area he needs the most work on.
That’s just life of a rookie QB, though. He made multiple elite NFL throws on that final drive.
@UncleRuke
@RapSheet
@TomPelissero
What a weak comment. First of all, Edmunds isn’t even bad? Second, no GM has had the draft success he’s had. Just 1st round picks alone in his era:
Hampton, Polamalu, Roethlisberger, Heath, Holmes, Timmons, Pouncey, Heyward, DeCastro, Shazier, Watt.
Every GM has several busts.
Genuinely asking.
Has anyone EVER heard Mike Tomlin bring up his “never had a losing season” thing? Like, yinzers swear that’s all he cares about and love saying “the standard is the standard”, but I’ve never once heard him bring it up. In any setting/conference/interview.
After reflecting on the season, the Steelers overcame a ton of this year in order to get to the playoffs.
It really speaks volumes about the organization. From the coaches down to the players, they deserve some appreciation.
I keep personal stuff off of here.
But if you could spare some extra prayers for my dad, I’d appreciate it 🙏🏼
He’s scheduled to have his 3rd major surgery tomorrow morning to remove his cancer that’s back once again.
All love 🤞🏼💛
@NASCAR
Here’s
@KyleBusch
and I from 2003 when I was 8 years old and before he even was in Cup. I was a
@KurtBusch
fan so I just wanted to meet his brother. But Kyle told me back then if he became my favorite driver, I can be his
#1
fan.
That means the world to an 8 year old kid.
Terrell Edmunds:
- A solid football player
- Just 25 years old
- 4 years of starting experience
- Always available
- Well liked by his teammates
- Works hard, perhaps the best athlete on the team
- Has improved every single season
Sign this man.
@BWalkerSEC
Oh boo hoo a 1st ballot HOFer gets one last hoorah and makes the playoffs in his last season 🙄
Herbert will have his time. Don’t like it? Don’t lose to the Texans.
@CamHeyward
@EAMaddenNFL
Oh, it’s easy Cam.
You just got to go to “Settings”, go down a little bit, and then you’ll see the “Bullshit option”. From there it’ll take you to another screen and you’ll see a tab that says “screw the Steelers”.
Click on that and you’re good to go.
Tomorrow morning, Nick Karns will make a post about how optimistic Browns fans should be. How everything they overcame this year should be celebrated, and next year will be different when they get their guys back. And that he “believes!”.
I want you to know it’ll all be false.
I love the O-line. But can we PLEASE start giving Ramon Foster the respect he deserves like we do 66, 53, and 78? Just 4 penalties and 5.5 sacks allowed over the last 3 seasons. He's elite. He's been elite for awhile now. It's time to start acknowledging it.
@big_mike9169
A slap in the face is giving Myles the award just because he hasn’t won one yet.
TJ has more tackles, sacks, TFL’s, QB hits, QB pressures, fumble recoveries, INT’s, passes defensed, and TD’s.
Myles had a pathetic 5.5 sacks and one forced turnover over his last 10 games.
Trash.
Cam Heyward’s value to the Pittsburgh Steelers extends far beyond his play on the field. His leadership, locker room presence, community work, etc.
I’ve said it a million times. He’s one of the all time Steeler greats.
Love seeing Cam Heyward coach up the young guys. Working with everyone: wings on the FG team, starters like Alex Highsmith, guys on future contracts like Jamir Jones (
#44
). Terrific mentor and leader.
#Steelers
If your opinion of Diontae Johnson is:
“He sucks”
“He’s a diva”
“He’s a whiner”
Then I have absolutely no desire to talk football with you and couldn’t care less about your opinion on anything else regarding it. Because that tells me is you don’t know what you’re watching.

Fans who don’t spend hundreds of hours watching film, conducting interviews, and attending workouts here to tell you it was a bad pick because they didn’t see this in some schmuck’s mock draft.
