Pittsburgh Steelers have ‘misevaluated’ their talent | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

Aaron Rodgers dances in the pocket and tries to sit there early third quarter and be like old Aaron Rodgers. And we’ve seen him do this a few times this year where it’s like he’s again I I I don’t sometimes I want to go, hey dude, you know you’re you’re 41 now just that you can’t pull off what you 42. Sorry. No, no, I’m just saying that’s how close he is. It’s just like a day or two. had this talk before of like I don’t know if he understands what he’s capable and not capable of anymore. And we saw him have the fumble on Sunday Night Football against the Chargers in a similar way. Remember he kind of avoided and then he got stuck in the end zone and got a safety right with Khalil Mack and everybody. This was Joey Bosa. There he is. I’m moving. Wait, I’m old Aaron Rogers. Wait, old Aaron Rogers. You’re not. You’re old. You’re old Aaron Rogers. You’re you’re old Aaron. Sorry. And you make a miss. You got to remember like the guys didn’t leave. He didn’t go like, “Oh, I missed him. Let me give up here.” He crushes Aaron Rodgers. I mean, crushes him. His head smashed into the ground. You’ve seen I’m If you look at the news, you’ll see his nose is twice the size. Video of it. Yeah. With his blood and the Chuck Cecil look. So, that was the play that changed the football game. And then he can’t play the next series. And Mason Rudolph throws an interception coming in the game cold past midfield. And that’s when it started to look ugly because then you just started to go, man, is Buffalo just gonna run for 10 yards every play here. Is Buffalo just they can’t throw the ball and they’re and the Steelers know they’re going to run it. The Steelers know they’re going to run it and the Bills are just going, “Yeah, we’re going to run it and we’re going to run for five and we’re going to run for eight and we’re going to rip a big run off.” I mean, that to me was embarrassing for the Steelers, too. And from that point on, it was just a slow, ugly beatdown of Pittsburgh. And that’s like usually what we see them do to teams in their prime. 249 rushing yards gained by the Bills allowed by the Steelers. The most by the Steelers at home since 1975. Now 1975 worked out well. Kind of good. This is not going to be 1975. Was it Earl Campbell? Do you know? I mean, who the hell was it in 75? Was he drafted in 75 or 76? No, you might remember the next year. You’re right. I think I don’t know. I got to look it up. I got to look it up. That we we’ll find out. Somebody in the back room, please find out. Steelers rushing totals 1975. Who was it that gashed them for 249 yards? But it got TJ Watt saying some stuff after the game. I mean, and Deon McCordi was on to this. Devin McCordi said, “They’re sounding like Yeah. the stuff you’d say at the end of the season like they’re they’re giving up.” That that TJ Watts said, “We need to look within. We talk about the talent we have. We talk about everything that we have, but right now we don’t have a kick-ass defensive group.” And that’s all I can speak on. He also said, “I’ve never seen a team run the same play that much and have that kind of success.” That’s what I was talking about. That’s what I mean. There was plays where I was like, they ran the same run play three out of four plays in a row. The same run play. Like, we’re lining up in the same formation. We’re going to pull the backside guard and we just ran for five and we’re going to do it again and you know it. And they’re going to run for 10 up the middle. And I mean, that to me, that’s as embarrassing as it gets on on their side of the ball. and they’ve misvaluated their talent and they’ve misvaluated the the window in which some of these older guys are in and that their their window is it’s the old window. They’re not in they they’re out of the prime. So, they’ve misaluated that as well. And then you couple that with, you know, I do feel like Aaron Rogers has hijacked the offense to a degree. Um, they got personalities and DK Metaf is you you talked about that them making a weird or unconventional Steelers type move that’s not really paying off to what he’s being paid. And also on top of that, is he going to get a personal foul or be a problem in every big football game once it gets chippy? You know, that’s another thing too. They’re not acting and playing professionallike right now in Pittsburgh. I think that’s what’s concerning too. And then you couple that with Rogers calling people out after the game going, “Yeah, certain guys are running the wrong routes. They’re not at meetings and all that.” So, it’s all pointing to yes, it’s just not good in Pittsburgh right now between what you’re saying, TJ Watt’s saying, Aaron Rogers is saying, and of course, the results we’re seeing on the field. Okay, we have the answer to the question. Oh, I’m interested in this one. 1975. 1975. I mean, 1975. Could it have been the Dolphins, too? Maybe. But I’m I’m interested here. You’re kind of getting warm. Do you want to try again before I give you a It’s an AFC team, though. I said you’re kind of getting warm. You can You can interpret that how you see fit. Okay. So, I feel like it’s one of those AFC powers like it’d be the It’d be the Dolphins at that time. It might I don’t think Earl Campbell was there yet. 1975. 1975. Football historian, right? The red light is literally on, but I I mean I know the red light is on. I know who won the Super Bowl, but I’m not supposed to just pull up 1975. Who were the great running backs in 1975? Who was the great running back in 19 OJ Simpson? Man, it was ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. Is that incredible? Yeah, he had he had 227, right? And West Virginia great Jim Braxton added 80 on 14 carries. There were three other stray yards. That adds up to 310 rushing yards allowed by the eventual Super Bowl champion. Yes. Who beat the Cowboys 21 to7 in that Super Bowl that year. That’s incredible. So 50 years later, the Steelers defense laid an egg against the Buffalo Bills and a really damn good running back. I’m not going to say James Cook is good as OJ Simpson quite yet. And one thing I know that’s also not going to correlate is this Steelers team ain’t going to Super Bowl. No freaking way. All right. God, I hope they do now so we can play it back over. Don’t you worry. You ain’t going. You can use it all you want. Freezing cold takes up yours. They ain’t going. All right. Oh man. So, uh, that really is amazing. And the Bills won that day 30 to 21 at Three River Stadium. That’s incredible. So, history repeats itself. Yeah. Yeah. Well, hopefully not.

  2. Rogers is a cry baby and not acceptable for his actions. He plays like he practices. Watch how he practiced when Jets were on hard knocks. Guess he thinks he does not need to work hard to win but everyone else does. The steeler org made the worse acquisition of this "OLD MAN " quarterback. The steelers should have acquired a younger quarterback who can run too because they would have likely won 6 games with a younger quarterback as well! .

  3. Simms! Come on, man!! Rodgers isn't running around in the pocket for his health or to try and show off how young he still thinks he is….are you f*cking kidding me??? He's running around not because he wants to, but because he has to. The Steelers receivers are not getting open…they're not getting separation…the Steelers players and coaches are seeing this and saying this. Come on, man!!!!

  4. Here's what these jamokes didn't tell you: RG McCormick got beat badly then quit on the play while A-Rod rolled out before he was blind-sided. He's a varsity QB in a J-V offense and needs to get out to there.

  7. Attention Steelers owners. The NFL draft is in Pittsburgh next year. If you think the mob that was calling to fire Tomlin at Sunday's game won't be doing the same thing at the draft in April….you better think again.

  9. O.J. Simpson of the Buffalo Bills had a game with 227 rushing yards against the Steelers on September 28, 1975, which was part of a game where the Bills' team had over 300 rushing yards.

  16. It would be something if the Steelers finally released Tomlin, only to go through a long period of incompetent coaches, playing musical chairs every three years by firing their coach, and ultimately becoming the Pittsburgh Browns.

  17. I know this won't be popular, but, Rodgers destroys teams. He is a 50% win Quarterback at best now but spends all of his time blaming everyone else — especially his own teams he has been on. Being the leader, the rest of the team will tend to be like him (anyone who knows leadership realizes this). So, the entire team cohesion falls apart and performance falls, arguing erupts, filled with cheap shots and penalties like spoiled brats not getting their chocolate bar. When they traded for him i was in shock. Surely the coaches can see what he did the last years in Green Bay and NY. i don't know how many years it will take for the steelers to recover when he leaves

  21. Mike Tomlin literally was a WR and an offensive coach at the beginning of his career. He only got defensive jobs because he coached at a non name school and they needed a coach. Look it up FFS

  24. Tomlin is mentally NOT WITH IT anymore… KINDA SAD and embarrassing at this point.. Unfortunately, like when your grandpa has dementia, people need to accept it.
