This dude has always been terrible in his analysis. I don't even know his name. A Arod is speaking Facts! The Steelers are the most Dangerous Team in the Playoffs with AROD. Remember All the Sports Personalities Predicted Mike Tomlins Steelers winning 3 games! LOL!
Julian, we are cut from the same cloth. I thought I was the only one who yelled at the TV and said I don't care about Travis Kelce and Tay Swift or Russel Wilson and Ciara. Or that A player got arrested for speeding or bla bla bla talk about the game! They Drive me nutts with that BS!
And of course, I would prefer we have a losing Season to Draft another Franchise QB ala 1969 1-13 = Terry Bradshaw ala 2003 6-10 = Big Ben! Tomlin's Greatest strength was elevating subpar rosters into the Playoff was to his own detriment because the Rooney's Should Have stop being Cheap in 2020 and go after the Big-Name QBs. The Rooney's Failed Tomlin, The Players, and The Fans.
This is why they will never fire him, despite the Yinzers who absolutely have no clue calling for his demise!
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ quest for a seventh Super Bowl was derailed by three devastating events: Ryan Shazier’s spinal injury in December 2017, Stephon Tuitt’s abrupt retirement in June 2022, and Dwayne Haskins’ tragic death in April 2022. Each removed a cornerstone talent at critical points in the team’s trajectory, reshaping their roster and long-term outlook.
Contextual Analysis
1. Ryan Shazier (2017)
• Before his injury, Shazier was the defensive playmaker, with 3 interceptions and 11 passes defended in 2017.
• His loss forced Pittsburgh to rely on less athletic linebackers, exposing weaknesses in coverage.
• The defense never fully recovered its dominance, impacting playoff runs in 2017–2019.
2. Stephon Tuitt (2022)
• Tuitt had 11 sacks in 2020, showing he was at peak form before missing 2021.
• His retirement shocked fans and analysts, as he was expected to return and bolster the line.
• Without Tuitt, Heyward carried the line alone, and the Steelers’ run defense ranked among the league’s worst in 2021–2022.
3. Dwayne Haskins (2022)
• Drafted 15th overall by Washington in 2019, Haskins was still developing when Pittsburgh signed him.
• He was training with teammates in Florida when the accident occurred.
• His death removed a potential QB option, leaving the Steelers scrambling between Mitch Trubisky and rookie Kenny Pickett.
⚖ Overall Impact on Steelers’ Super Bowl Hopes
• Defensive collapse: Losing Shazier and Tuitt gutted the Steelers’ defensive core, removing two elite talents in their prime.
• Quarterback uncertainty: Haskins’ death compounded the team’s instability at QB after Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement.
• These events combined to shift Pittsburgh from perennial contender to rebuilding mode, delaying their pursuit of Super Bowl #7.
It's funny how the Steelers haven't lost at home on a Monday night in like a hundred years and now of all the slots for the WC games they give the Monday night slot to a game featuring the Steelers at home lol
I hate when people say they would trade losing seasons for a SB, people think having a top 15 pick means franchise QB and a SB but for every top 10 QB who was successful I can name one who failed or even one who was drafted after the 15th pick that was successful, so I rather have the winning seasons and just do a better job drafting QBs
Let’s get it !!
Ay foo you live streaming during any of the games?
If the Steelers win on Monday I think Rodgers and Tomlin will get married
Rodgers was the best thing about the Jets when he was there. Wth is this "Jets fan" talking about…
Here we go Steelers
We had the great consistency in qb play with Big Ben for over a decade.the killer B era was wasted by Tomlin. Ben should have 3 or 4 superbowl wins not 2.
