1. They also need a fast wide receiver. Go after the Cheetah, he wants out of Miami.

2. The players QUIT last year vs Colts and this year vs. Ravens in a PLAYOFF game !! The players cant say it publicly but they have zero faith in the game plans or the coaches hence the quitting and negative body language.

3. Lamar, Mahomes, Hurts, Burrow, Lamar again…QB driven league. What are we even talking about? Brady, Ben, Mannings….last 20 years how many QBs who arent elite have won Superbowl's? Only problem with keeping Tomlin is he is too good to get a top 5 pick because half the league is garbage.

4. Tomlin doomed the season and should be fired 🔥

5. surprised Gerry said that the team doesn't have a "dynamic player coming off the bench."
   i thought… Nick Herbig?
   he hasn't put it all together… yet. but they beat the Chargers in wk…3? cos of his speed off the edge, 2 sacks and a FF.
   sure wasnt' the offense doing anything

6. The truth is they just aren’t that good. We pay noone on offense. Tomlin doesn’t control the roster.

7. Don’t blame the defense. Lack of coaching, of communication ,offensive, man to man coverage. Need to draft better players. Get coaches some know and play the game. Fire all Mike friends.

9. Aaron smith brett kiesel and casey hampton made our run defense impeccable.

10. The #1 reason the Steelers choked? Russell Wilson. He was just so bad at Quarterback. Nice guys do finish last. Steelers need a better Quarterback for next season, bottom line.

11. I was really rooting for Russell to make it this year. What a shame that he was in such a bad game plan.

12. Having a superstar ball hawk like minkah 30 yards off the ball at all times is an issue.

    Having the OLB only do outside rush the same way every single play is an issue.

    Not disguise pressure for any amature qb can read is an issue.

    The defensive scheme is trash. Hot trash mixed with seafood.

    FIRE THE DC!

13. After listening to this guy i understand why they are the way that the steelers are, and why they'll never win in the playoffs for the foreseeable future.

    The defense was not that great to end the season, and in the playoffs. But the offense hadn't scored 20 points in a game since week 14.

    You aren't going to hold hold every team to 10 point for an entire season and all throughout the playoffs. The 2000 Ravens were a once in forever kind of defense, you can't just put all your money there and expect to be the 2000 Ravens.

    The steelers spend all of their money in that defense, so the goal is to double down on that and focus on the defense even more.

    Good stuff.

14. Thats what you get when you go cheap. They made alot of moves last off season, but cheap and it shows 🙄

15. We do not have a mobile enough quarterback that can extend the play. Ben was a master at extending a play and then finding Heath somewhere.

16. No “Steelers insider” should own a tie those colors. So sick of these local clowns.

17. Two words doomed the Steelers not only this season but prior seasons "Mike Tomlin " .

18. Given how they've performed the last few seasons, it would be fitting for Aaron Rodgers to join them for an exciting 9-8 season.

19. This generation of Rooneys are stuck on stupid . Giving tomlin three years 50 million lol

20. Obviously, a total Steelers collapse. No one is let off the hook…..except the head coach!!

21. What Doomed Pittsburgh’s Once-Promising Season???? Russel Wilson.

22. Thank goodness they have Cam Heyward? That dude is pushing 40…lol…He's an old man for the NFL
    He also mentions the Eagles, Ravens and Chiefs and leaves out the other team in the division that beat them – Cincinnati
    Joe Burrow has a winning record against the Steelers and it's only going to get better. There's a reason why Vegas had them winning 6 games.
    They got smoked when the games mattered most down the stretch and if not for that unlikely start, their record would have been close to 5-6 wins

23. Got lucky. They really aren't that good. Bad O-line, suspect secondary, receiving corp has no separation speed or has the dropsies, need a qb like the Browns do, Cam Heyward is slowing down and no other DL is helping him, front 7 is not what it used to be(getting freight-trained by RBs every week). Get better players. Drafting kinda sucks. It's not Tomlin.

24. I was at the game. In general, the steelers had all 11 guys within 12 yards of the LOS. They weren't even playing the deep pass.

25. I KNOW! TOMLIN!

26. I stopped watching this team last year. Tomlin brings the same team every year. Good luck, steeler fans with tomlin as coach.

27. So all good points raised there Gerry however when you have a coach and ownership that just accepts it all as "the standard". As long as seats and stadium remains full it will remain the standard.

28. What doomed them is a know nothing rooney and a head coach that can suck as bad as does and not have the fear of having his asses kicked out the door

29. I laugh at all the people calling for Tomlin's head, when just 19 weeks ago all the media was saying this was going to be the year Tomlin had a losing record. Boy were they wrong. Tomlin got the job done and that is with losing his round 1 and round 3 draft pick to injuries and each playing less than one game.

30. If we make adjustments to the O-line, and the receiver room we’ll be better next year. Russ played well for what he had. The defense would have been better if they weren’t on the field for whole game. Not seeking comfort here but the Steelers are a good football team despite what the fans are saying and our head coach is phenomenal.

31. Good to see Dulac wearing his Ravens tie today 😂

32. WILSON had no others receivers to help him nor a solid offensive line the OC is running old 1960 plays

33. Defense to blame, sure they have some blame. But the offense was always in a 3 and out – you can't expect your defense to constantly be on the field week after week and for them to be able to sustain a high level of play.

34. Fans need to sign a petition: FIRE TOMLIN. And then boycott games and gear. (A Steeler ball cap costs $35 bucks!). Tomlin will be gone.
