chococoke Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Honestly, I'd be upset too if my team's sacred jizz rag that is handed out at every game was compromised by another team's player. Oh, the humanity!!!!!!!!! EDIT: Also, Pats just clinched their 11th playoff bye since 2001. Next highest team has 5 in that same span Edited December 20, 2016 by chococoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moblin Major General Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 So, TN win means they clinch AFC south, basically? I swear, the only people who like Tennessee are people from around Nashville. That, and maybe former Browns fans (the owner of the Browns is the brother of the governor of Tennessee, not that it actually has to do with anything.)

Nope, they can't clinch the division this week at all. They win the division if they beat the Jaguars and the Texans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Nah, sorry, but Cynthia's right. The only team right now that can clinch their division by just winning this week and nothing more are my boys. <3 DO IT DO IT DO IT. AFC NORTH TITLE FOR CHRISTMAS FTW MAN.

TheAssassinMercenary Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Pats are looking good, even with Brady's suspension earlier on and Gronk's injury.. What concerns me is whether or not they can beat the Cowboys, which is my bet for the Super Bowl matchup. EDIT- Also, back from the dead. What's up SF?

Anacybele Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 NO. NO COWBOYS. I think they have five Lombardis, and if they go to the Super Bowl and win, they'll get six, and the Steelers will no longer be alone in first with the most Super Bowl titles. :( Somebody keep the Cowboys AWAY. At least until the Steelers get a seventh. :P I hate the Cowboys anyway. Speaking of the Pats as well, I saw they might trade Jimmy Garoppolo, and if they do, I want the Steelers to make a good offer. Mettenberger or Landry Jones for him, plz? lol I know, probably not, but it'd be nice. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAssassinMercenary Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Eh, it's possible. I'm not sure if they'd be willing to part with Garoppolo just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Yeah, I'm not actually getting my hopes up too high. :P I've been having multiple dreams about the Christmas Steelers vs Ravens match. But none showed how the game ended. Only the Steelers leading by varying amounts (from a field goal to like ten points)...all three times. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Don't get worried just yet, lol the Browns have blown a lot of leads to lose in the end. :P Terry Bradshaw (former Steelers QB from that legendary 70s team) thinks Mike Tomlin isn't a great coach and that Cowher was way better? Wut. Okay, maybe technically NOT great. But Bradshaw is talking as if he thinks Mikey's a bad coach. He's not bad. And Cowher was definitely not way better (he was good too though)I might have said he should probably be fired earlier when we had that four game losing streak, but that was me blowing off steam, really. He may not be GREAT, but he's still pretty good. His only problem is the losses to sub-.500 teams and even then, those aren't ALL his fault. It's a team effort most of the time. I don't think I'll ever say I want Tomlin fired again. That was a ridiculous statement. :P Edited December 24, 2016 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I've seen the argument that Tomin's only Super Bowl win was mostly with Cowher's roster and the Steelers arguably have been treading water since then. If the Steelers fired Tomlin this offseason, I wouldn't really be excited at the possibility of the Jaguars picking him up which I suppose means I think he's fairly mediocre. The Steelers are just a very inconsistent team which to me indicates that their coaching staff doesn't have them always playing at their best.

Anacybele Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 They're not that inconsistent. They're inconsistent, sure, but not VERY inconsistent. They've also been fucked by big injuries the past two seasons and still made a playoff run last season and almost beat the Broncos in the divisional. And that's why I said Tomlin isn't GREAT. Just pretty good. If he can fix that inconsistency, he'd be great. He's never had a losing season (Cowher's had a few), he did win Super Bowl 43 with Cowher's guys, but he still got to Super Bowl 45 two years later and almost won that (the Packers were just a better team then). He's also been heading the best offense the Steelers have ever had and the defense is growing up. Tomlin did start with a good team, but after that, he kinda had to build around Big Ben from the ground up. He drafted AB, Bell, young guys for defense, etc. and he's got a near Super Bowl-caliber team again. It's just that inconsistency, yes.

Anacybele Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Watch the Giants troll the Cowboys in the playoffs I've been thinking this exact same thing. lol Steelers MUST win tomorrow, pleaaaaase. We haven't had a home playoff game in awhile either. I think the last few years we've been a dumb wild card visitor (I know we were last year). And I'm still sick of losing to the Ravens.

-Cynthia- Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Statistically speaking(DVOA), the Steelers have been the most inconsistent team this year(look for Variance) http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teameff For example, note how they lost by 31 to the Eagles in Week 3 and then beat the Chiefs by 29 the next week.

Anacybele Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Doesn't mean they're as inconsistent as you say, which they haven't been. They've won five games in a row now, I don't call that inconsistent. It says they've only been inconsistent in the first half of the season. Their only two bad losses were to the Eagles and Dolphins way early in the season as well. Also, the inconsistencies have been partly due to injuries, like I said. I doubt they would've been as inconsistent as they were if they'd been healthy all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) They beat three bad teams in that 5 game winning streak, and 1 of them was a 24-20 where they were behind most of the game. They didn't have that convincing a win against the Bills, but in general they aren't an easy team to bet on. Keep in mind that they beat the Chiefs by 29 points, then lost to the Dolphins by 15 points. Chiefs are looking at a playoff run, and could possibly win the division; the Dolphins are on the outside looking in. Their games against the Bengals were within a single score despite the Bengals sucking. If nothing else, they were pretty inconsistent ever since Tomlin joined... remember the mantra of losing to bad teams and beating good teams? Like how they would lose to the Buccs in 2014, who went on to get the #1 overall pick? They've had tons of stuff like that since Tomlin joined. Being swept by a Ravens team that was indistinguishable from an infirmary is another thing. Edited December 24, 2016 by Lord Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Not convincing? That Bills game (and the Bengals game to a lesser extent) proved that this team can win even if Ben has a bad game. Not many teams can win if their QB doesn't play well. remember the mantra of losing to bad teams and beating good teams? Duh. That's what I've been repeatedly saying is Tomlin's glaring flaw that keeps him from being great. He's still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
