STEELERS TEXANS POST GAME SHOW

1
00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:07,560
This is the Sports Porch Black
and Gold with your hosts, the

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:14,160
technical director, the Grand
Schwabini and Hockey Jesus.

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,840
Come on Pittsburgh, let's show a
little.

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,360
Steelers, Penguins and Pirates

00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:32,240
Black and Gold starts now.
All right, everybody.

6
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,160
Is that similar to having a bag
over your head, Steve?

7
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,680
Welcome to the sports porch.
Black and gold.

8
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,000
We said it would be a joyous
celebration or a defeat full of

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
tears.
I'm your technical director.

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,840
That's the Grand Swabini.
That's some homeless guy with a

11
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,880
terrible Towel over his head who
wandered in off the streets.

12
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:01,520
No, that's hockey.
Jesus and welcome to the sports

13
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,920
sports black and gold.

14
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,320
Steelers playoff game down at
Akershire stadium.

live post game breaking down the

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,240
Steelers wild card lost to the
Texans.

18
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,600
Join the chat.
Why don't you join the chat.

19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:26,800
I, I, you know, I, I don't, I,
I, I, it's like I, I want to, I

20
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,640
don't have words, but I want to
have words, but I don't really

21
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,360
want to have words.
Shouldn't we have expected this?

22
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,640
They gave up thirty points.
Again, this is the last game of

23
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,760
the season they lost.
So it's like the good and the

24
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,600
bad.
Well, OK, the defense played

25
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,040
pretty well, gave the the
offense opportunities.

26
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,080
It's going to be a little bit of
blame to go around here.

27
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,640
Grand Swabini, I'm I'm going to
start with you.

28
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,240
Tell me.
Well, keep in mind of the 30

29
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:10,479
points, I guess 13 of them were
scored defensively by the by the

30
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:17,680
Texans.
I, I find it just beyond

31
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,600
frustrating that you could get 3
turnovers in a game and actually

32
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,400
pretty critical times too,
especially the one on the first

33
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,600
drive in the second-half.
You know, look, I mean, I, I

34
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,280
can't believe that this game
ended 30 to 6.

35
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,240
I mean, it, it, it's a blowout
score, but it didn't really seem

36
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,080
like a blowout.
It seemed like it was anybody's

37
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,960
game until right up to the start
of the fourth quarter.

38
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,400
And you know, here, here's
here's the thing.

39
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:59,160
I, I would, I would say this,
while on one hand, I think there

40
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,600
will be, there will be folks
that are coming out of this game

41
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,880
saying, well, it wasn't the
defense's fault, right?

42
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,760
They got, they got 3 turnovers,
blah, blah, blah.

43
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,280
They only you know, they didn't
they didn't give up 13 points

44
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,280
because they were scored by
defensive touchdowns.

45
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:25,240
But here's here's 2 keys that I
wanted to look into and are just

46
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,360
mind blowing to me.
So I'll be just honest, I had

47
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,680
never heard of this Woody Marks
before the game.

48
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,360
OK.
And he went for 19 carries, 112

49
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,400
yards and a touchdown.
He looked unstoppable up the

50
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,120
middle.
And I looked at his game lock.

51
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,240
He's a rookie.
So this is his first season.

52
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,120
The most rushing yards he had in
a game this whole year was 74.

53
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,600
And there were like 3 games that
he had like 60 or 70 yards.

54
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,120
I mean, so he goes for 1:12.
Then I looked at no, look,

55
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,320
Christian Kirk has been a decent
receiver in the past.

56
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,440
I kind of faltered a little bit
in Jacksonville and then he got

57
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,480
traded to the Texans.
But I, you know, look, he had a

58
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,440
big game today, especially with
Nico Collins going out with a

59
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:21,120
concussion.
Kirk had eight catches for 144

60
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:28,880
yards and a touchdown.
The most, the most passing yards

61
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,760
that are the most receiving
yards that Christian Kirk had

62
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:39,560
all year in a game was 6464.
So, you know, they they did sort

63
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:45,160
of get beat, beat up by by the
the Texans offense as well.

64
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:50,640
It was just that CJ Stroud was
actually so bad at protecting

65
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,560
the football that and give the
Steelers credit for that too.

66
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,120
But he was so bad that I guess
he kept the Steelers in the game

67
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,200
longer than maybe he should
have.

68
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,720
So I thought with that in mind,
I thought overall I thought the

69
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,320
defense was, you know, average
at best.

70
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,040
Give him credit for the
turnovers, but not for a lot

71
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,840
else.
I thought that offensively,

72
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,120
look, they had they had nothing
offensively.

73
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,200
And I would say that Arthur
Smith, I mean, for me, this is

74
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,240
this is the last game that I
want to see him in in charge.

75
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,040
Not a lot of creativity.
Look, he's not the worst

76
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,920
offensive quarter Nader in the
league, but not a lot of

77
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:42,560
creativity also too just you
know, as far as Tomlin goes, I'm

78
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,520
I'm not going to get into should
he be fired or not because we've

79
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,680
kind of gone down that road so
often.

80
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,120
But just how about look, I, I, I
know the game was probably over

81
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,800
anyway, but just lack of guts,
you know, like, look, you're on

82
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,440
your 50 yard line, there's 9
minutes left.

83
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,200
It's 4th and 13.
It's going to be pretty damn

84
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,600
hard, right?
I don't know what Caleb Williams

85
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,520
converted, if it was a fourth
and 8th or whatever it was.

86
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,160
And maybe they had to do it
'cause there was less time left.

87
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,520
But look at the 50 yard line.
At that point in the game, you

88
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,320
got to go for it, OK?
There's no tomorrow.

89
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,560
And, and, and if you, I, I
always like to think of it this

90
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,200
way too.
If you don't go for it, all

91
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,280
right, I mean, let's say, let's
say you do go for it and you

92
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:29,680
don't make it.
So now the Texans have the ball

93
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,160
at the 50 yard line.
Hopefully then what you do is

94
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,840
they get somewhere between, you
know, maybe you stop them or

95
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:40,080
maybe they get 20-30 yards, kick
a field goal.

96
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,160
You're still down 14.
You still need 2 scores, but you

97
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,240
at least have like 7 minutes
left.

98
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,520
You know, look, I could go on
and on.

99
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,720
Disappointing, very
disappointing.

100
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,800
Steve, take it away.
Oh boy.

101
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,600
I mean, I don't know whether to
be so upset that I just want to

102
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:08,160
scream and yell or if it's just,
we shouldn't be surprised by

103
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,760
this anymore.
I mean, let's just, let's just

104
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:16,440
look at it for what it is.
20224221 We lose to Kansas City

105
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:23,400
in Mahomes. 2024 we lose 3117
the Buffalo and and Josh Allen.

106
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:29,040
2025 Last year 2814 that game
actually seemed worse but that

107
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,000
score was better than today's
score 30 to 6.

108
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,680
I mean, average all those
together, including the 4542

109
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,480
lost the Blake Bortles and the
4837 lost the Baker Mayfield,

110
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,960
and you have 37 points given up
by this defense in the last six

111
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:52,160
playoff games. 37 points.
I mean, no offense, the best

112
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,480
fucking offense in the world is
not going to beat that.

113
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,480
So yeah, I blame the defense and
absolutely I blame Tomlin and

114
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,440
100% the offensive scheme had no
creativity.

115
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,360
I mean, I get it.
The Texans are one of the best

116
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,440
defenses.
Use their damn speed against

117
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,720
them.
What misdirection play did we

118
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,160
run?
Show me the play and I'll and

119
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,760
I'll eat.
I'll eat my words.

120
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,960
There was no misdirection.
There was no offensive

121
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,960
creativity.
It's like they just accepted

122
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,560
that the Texans were better than
them and then they just throw,

123
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,160
you know, they get sacked
because, you know, Aaron Rodgers

124
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,280
is a fragile 42 year old
quarterback and he's going to

125
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,960
get sacked.
He's going to fumble the ball.

126
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,000
We we said that in the pregame.
And then he tries to do too much

127
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,320
and he throws an interception
and they get a touchdown.

128
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,960
So the Steelers get 3.
To your point, the Steelers get

129
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,680
3 turnovers and critical point
to the game and get a total of

130
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,600
three points.
The Texans get 2 turnovers,

131
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,560
don't even have to run a damn
offensive play and get 13

132
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,440
points.
I mean come on.

133
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,120
The Texans out.
Steeler, the Steelers.

134
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,080
The Steelers always have said
that all you have to do is make

135
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,440
some good defensive plays, some
splash plays, and do just enough

136
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,680
on offense.
Well, that got proven wrong.

137
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,000
Absolutely wrong this playoff
game, just like it did the five

138
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,480
previous playoff games.
This team needs to be blown up.

139
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,680
Absolutely no way in hell are
they going to fire Tomlin.

140
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,800
But that's what they need to do.
They need to start from scratch.

141
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,600
They need to get a quarterback.
That's going to be their future.

142
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,360
And if that means you play
Rudolph next year, you play

143
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:44,120
Rudolph next year, I don't give
a care because they are going to

144
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:50,120
lose a lot of really deep
Steeler Nation fans if they

145
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,240
continue down this path.
They will absolutely do that.

146
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:58,840
And Art Rooney of the second,
you better be listening because

147
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,040
you don't want that to happen.
You don't want to hear fire,

148
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,280
Tomlin chance at the draft in
April, because you just might.

149
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,760
Yeah, and you know, now we have
to realize that, you know, look,

150
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:19,280
there's some really good Tomlin
reasons to keep him as a coach.

151
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,680
And we all know what they are,
right?

152
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,640
It's he's never had a losing
season, but we got to pay just

153
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,680
as much attention to the bad,
which is he's now tied Marvin

154
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:34,760
Lewis of the Bengals with 7
consecutive post season losses.

155
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,760
And he's now in sole possession
of being the only coach to make

156
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,040
it 9 years without a playoff
win.

157
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,600
So Don Shulo the.
Worst drought in Steeler history

158
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,640
this playoff run.
The worst drought in Steeler

159
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,200
history I'm you know, I'm
counting pre not counting pre

160
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,200
1970, which we know doesn't
count.

161
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,880
So pre 1970 doesn't count post
1970 In the Super Bowl era, this

162
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,800
is the worst drought the
Pittsburgh Steelers franchise

163
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,280
has ever had.
Do you need more ammunition to

164
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,720
move on from this coach and try
something new?

165
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:18,400
Right.
It's just, it's, it's pretty

166
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,800
clear to all of us that it's,
it's time.

167
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,560
It's just time.
You need a fresh start.

168
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:29,000
You need to blow it up.
And, you know, let's just pray

169
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,680
that that that happens.
OK, listen guys, I, I first of

170
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:34,640
all, I want to thank everybody
that's watching this.

171
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,520

176
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,200
team in Pittsburgh.
We're on every Monday night,

177
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,840
7:00 PM Eastern Time.
You can join us here.

178
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,240
Normally we have a great time.
The, the, the pregame show was

179
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,120
was epic.
And I, I got to tell you, I

180
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,160
think we.
Were all wrong.

181
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,360
I, I was, I look, look guys, I
was wildly wrong.

182
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,400
HJ predicted the Steelers
winning 21 to 17.

183
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,600
The Grand Swabini flipped his
prediction from our previous

184
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,320
week's show.
I mean, I, I was just kind of

185
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,200
rolling with the, you know, the.
Fun.

186
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,200
Yeah, I get it.
Steelers 24 to 20.

187
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,920
And I look, I went out on a
limb.

188
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,560
I knew this was bullshit when I
did it, but I felt like somebody

189
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:32,440
had to be like, hey, what if all
of a sudden both of these

190
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,440
offenses lighted up?
I was wrong.

191
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:41,600
Steelers 203524, you know, here
we go again.

192
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,440
I put up a poll.
If you're on YouTube, go to the

193
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,400
comments section, go to the
chat.

194
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:49,200
The poll must.
And I know HJ said he didn't

195
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,680
want to talk about this, but I
think we have to talk about

196
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:53,440
this.
We absolutely have to talk

197
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,840
about.
That Mark doesn't want to talk.

198
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,280
About it, Yeah, Mark said.
We have to talk about this.

199
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,720
Must the Steelers fire Tomlin
now?

200
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,240
80% to 2080%?
Hell Oh yes. 20% not yet.

201
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:10,240
I put the poll on Twitter.
The sports sports one on Twitter

202
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:18,120
X Sorry, 94% yeah Hell yes. 6%
not yet.

203
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:21,920
What do we have to do?
We have to do we have to get the

204
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,760
double digit years without a
playoff win.

205
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,360
Right, that's what I'm saying.
You know.

206
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,000
Just wait one more year, it'll
happen.

207
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,040
That's what I'm saying.
What it what it, what I'm saying

208
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,920
is this.
Look, we, we, we, we talked

209
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,200
about this all week.
Everybody talked about it.

210
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,280
The Ravens, they fired Harbaugh,
Similar situation, similar

211
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,320
situation.
Tomlin has a much worse playoff

212
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,480
record, much worse record with
drafting young quarterbacks.

213
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,400
I mean, who drafted Lamar
Jackson?

214
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,600
The hardball regime, you know, I
mean, the rumors were he didn't

215
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,240
really want Jackson, but it
doesn't matter.

216
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,120
And he developed them into an
MVP quarterback.

217
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,120
Now we go back to the playoffs,
we have Aaron Rodgers, who by

218
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,880
the end of the year was showing
his age, just showing his age,

219
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,320
no big deal.
It's what's expected.

220
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,080
Our defense did show up in the
first half against a mediocre

221
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,200
offense.
They, they couldn't hold the

222
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,560
field.
You know, with all the, with all

223
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,400
the opportunities, the defense,
our defense, the Steelers

224
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,480
defense gave that offense, you
couldn't expect them not to cave

225
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,320
by the time they've been on the
field for almost the whole game

226
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,160
in the halfway through the third
quarter.

227
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,560
I mean, I, I can't take anything
away from their play at all.

228
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,840
This is a typical Tomlin game
plan, but no, no real strategy

229
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,120
behind it at all.
Their offense was poor enough

230
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,720
that our defense played well
against them for most of the

231
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,720
game.
And we had no real offensive

232
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,720
game plan.
And they gave up 30 points and

233
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,200
they only scored six.
That's that's really the bigger,

234
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,680
the bigger story here to me is
that they only scored 6.

235
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,040
I mean, I know the Texans
definitely have a great defense.

236
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,080
And I said a couple weeks ago,
if Houston makes the play offs,

237
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,520
they could end up being
dangerous.

238
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,000
I don't really know what that
means, but I'm not convinced

239
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,240
that they can't go the whole way
to the Super Bowl watching that

240
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,200
defense and how fast it was.
Now of course, the.

241
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,240
Patriots is is a little bit of a
different story I I they are

242
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,360
better now the.
Defense is great, but you know,

243
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,960
CJ Stroud is pretty shaky.
Yeah, that's, that's definitely

244
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,000
true.
I mean I I.

245
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,920
Yeah, the the problem is giving
up, only getting 6 points and

246
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,920
getting 3 turnovers.
I mean, yeah, OK, so they're a

247
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,360
good defense, We all know that.
They should have planned for

248
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,680
this defense knowing they were
so fast and they should have

249
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,320
tried something different other
than, well, when we can't run it

250
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,320
up the middle, then we'll throw
it to to Kenny Gainwell out the

251
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,080
side.
And then if that doesn't work,

252
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,480
then we'll try and run away from
the guys with Aaron Rodgers,

253
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:09,160
who's a 42 year old man.
And as far as user HH 5S goes,

254
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,520
the guy in charge of taking
Kenny Pinnick Pickett in the

255
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,920
first round of the draft is Mike
Tomlin.

256
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,360
And he's he's he's exhibit A for
what's wrong with this team.

257
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,920
And he won't be gone because
Exhibit B is the frickin owner

258
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,960
who wants to keep him.
So I don't know how you change a

259
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,320
franchise when it comes down to
that.

260
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,920
And you see Omar Khan in the
booth with that old man and they

261
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,360
both look like they have no
freaking clue what the hell is

262
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,360
going on in front of them and
it's just ridiculous.

263
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,720
It's time to just blow up.
Not just the Tomlin.

264
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,840
You got to blow up Con, you got
to blow up Rooney.

265
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,600
You just got to blow the whole
freaking thing up.

266
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,680
This is the only way the
Steelers be able to do anything.

267
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,840
By the way my wife commented and
I I have to agree, doesn't their

268
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,280
box look pretty pathetic
compared to other owners boxes?

269
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,839
Because there were two of them
in the box, nobody wanted to be

270
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:08,280
around them because they're
toxic.

271
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,000
Everybody knows that they're the
problem.

272
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,520
So it's like, hey, do you want
to be in the box with the owner

273
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,839
and and the GM?
No, I would.

274
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:19,319
I would rather be at home
watching the game from the

275
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:25,599
confines of my couch.
Oh, man, I didn't really want to

276
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:28,480
get upset about this, but I
guess I just can't help myself

277
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,400
because I thought that maybe I
would just be absolutely just

278
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,800
numb to it at this point.
But it just gets me more upset

279
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,560
the more I think about what the
Steelers are doing to a once

280
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,320
great franchise.
They're turning into a laughing

281
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,120
stock.
They're turning it into poor,

282
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,440
poor Aaron Rodgers.
He's he's done with his Hall of

283
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,200
Fame career.
Remember when he did discount

284
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,360
double check?
That's what we're talking about

285
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,000
at the end of the game.
I mean.

286
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,800
That's where we are.
And you know what, does anybody

287
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,360
see this getting any better next
year, even with DK Metcalf as

288
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:08,840
our number one wide receiver?
Also, I do have to say this

289
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,720
Christian Kirk, the Steelers did
try and go get, not this year,

290
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,240
but at the end of last year.
And remember, he broke his

291
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,040
collarbone.
OK, so he broke his collarbone,

292
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,400
so you don't go and get him when
he breaks his collarbone.

293
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,880
But they could have went and got
him this year.

294
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,160
The Texans got him from the
Jacksonville Jaguars.

295
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:30,920
You know what they got him for?
A seventh round draft pick.

296
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,880
A seventh round draft pick they
gave up for Christian Kirk now.

297
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,920
Do you the Steelers?
Could have offered, you know,

298
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,400
maybe a fifth round draft pick
for for Christian Kirk.

299
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,680
Do you think that would have
made a difference tonight, do

300
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,560
you think?
Absolutely yes.

301
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,800
Absolutely, and by and by the.
Way they preach.

302
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:56,400
By the way, how, why do you come
out and start utilizing DK

303
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,200
Metcalf early in the game and
completely go away from him

304
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,400
until like the fourth quarter?
I mean, I they didn't, they

305
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,560
didn't get a target on him I
think from from midway of the

306
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,960
first quarter to maybe midway
through the third quarter.

307
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,360
Honestly, I think I think
Stingley shut him down, to be

308
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:18,000
completely honest with you.
I think they realized that they

309
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,800
needed to just put Stingley on
him.

310
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:26,040
Looks like we're getting getting
trolled by Blue Sky Blue Sky 23

311
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,400
LFG.
That's fine.

312
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,240
That, that, that, that, that
that's, you know what?

313
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,880
We what we drink is Iron Cities,
and yes, we will be drinking

314
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,720
plenty later.
In that please.

315
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,920
Irons, irons, Irons Blue Sky.
And.

316
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,480
And by the way, we're so used to
choking it doesn't even feel

317
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,680
like choking anymore, so.
There you go it.

318
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,600
It actually feels like
swallowing, to be honest with

319
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,000
you.
You know, like a big a big.

320
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,000
A big iron city going down your.
Throat or swallowing like a

321
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,640
great big pierogi.
It's just a little too big, but

322
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,320
you get it down there.
Then you have to.

323
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,280
Then you take a little glass of
water because it's stuck like

324
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:03,960
right here.
Like right at the back of your

325
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,560
throat.
And you're like gulp and then it

326
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,320
slides down.
But by now, our esophaguses are

327
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,080
so big from all the choking, it
doesn't even really matter.

328
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:12,640
Yeah.
Spell esophagus.

329
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,480
This is what I like.

going on in the chat.
You know how you're feeling

348
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,000
about this Mark Tobin.
You know, I thank you earlier

349
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,600
for being a subscriber, but I
I'm going to disagree.

350
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,760
And that's what we love.
You know, 3540 years fans, all

351
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,120
three of us 120 years experience
businesses like to tout that

352
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:19,160
kind of shit.
You know what I mean?

353
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,840
120 years sports watching
experience.

354
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,200
I said at the beginning of the
year, we needed to take a flyer

355
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,480
on this season and let Mason and
Howard Duke it out.

356
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,240
But that but no, they they helps
out for Rogers.

357
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,400
Listen, I'm going to, I'm going
to, I'm going to completely

358
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,200
disagree with you there, Mark.
I'm, I'm going to say, look, no

359
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,120
way this organization would have
ever done that #1 #2 Mason

360
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:44,920
Rudolph is not a starting
quarterback in the NFLI.

361
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,640
Think it's time that these
hardcore Mason fans and look, I,

362
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,760
I, I don't judge you for that.
I, I think Mason's a great guy

363
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,960
and I think he fulfilled a great
role here.

364
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,720
And I, I, I, I, he's a decent
backup quarterback.

365
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,240
Never be a starter.
You don't take a flyer on Mason

366
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,560
Rudolph.
We already did that.

367
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,400
We know what we got there.
Will Howard, you drafted him in

368
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,960
what, the 5th round?
Was he the 5th, 5th or 6th round

369
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,760
for a reason, OK.
He was the emergency plan this

370
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,160
year.
He was the emergency plan we

371
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,240
would have.
Been better off getting

372
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,280
Christian Kirk.
That's.

373
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,200
Right.
He was the emergency plan.

374
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:23,800
And, you know, the Steelers, I
still believe are planning on

375
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,760
drafting a quarterback this
year.

376
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,280
Now, whether that is with Tomlin
or without Tomlin, I don't know.

377
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,280
But I'm telling you right now,
my opinion is probably not

378
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,200
different than most people's
opinion.

379
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,760
They must fire him now.
I think they're going to.

380
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,440
I just, I think they're going to
well.

381
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,720
This is what we'll be talking
about the next few weeks.

382
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,840
I.
I will tell you this, they're

383
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,200
definitely not going to fire him
if he's gone.

384
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,120
It's going to be the mutual
parting of ways.

385
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,280
Right, that's exactly If he's
going to go, he's going to say I

386
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,480
don't have it anymore.
I'm losing the fire.

387
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,080
It's time for me to step aside.
It's time.

388
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,400
For the timers and family.
Yeah.

389
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,240
OK.
So I I want to get a couple of

390
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,720
these responses in here.
Mr. Higgs, if you're a

391
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,880
subscriber, thank you.
If not, please do that.

392
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:19,280
Mark this day.
I'll say it till I'm blue in the

393
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,440
face.
Will Howard is the franchise.

394
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:24,160
Hey, hey, you can.
Why not listen?

395
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,480
Go for it.
Go for it.

396
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,360
Mr. Higgs No judgement there
either.

397
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,280
Brock Purdy.
The first game Brock Purdy ever

398
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:31,560
played.
I said Hall of Fame.

399
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,560
I'm sticking by it.
Look, hey, you can say it.

400
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,160
We can we can make an opinion on
Will Howard when he plays in the

401
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,600
Steeler uniform.
I hope that that will be next

402
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,280
year.
Honestly, why not?

403
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:47,160
Nice, though if you would have
played some of this year and we

404
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,680
could have figured that out
already.

405
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,560
Well.
He, he, he, he got injured.

406
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,920
That's true.
Just like all our good players

407
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,000
do.
Yeah.

408
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,640
Yeah, you're right.
Because of the the incredible

409
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,920
training.
You got to get Mr. Kevin, Kevin

410
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,320
get, I mean, but I mean.
Here's the thing, to be honest,

411
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:07,120
like, I mean, look, it is what
it is, but I was never a fan of

412
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:10,640
the Rogers move.
I, I said from the very

413
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:15,280
beginning, look, I, I kind of
like Mason Rudolph, but, but I

414
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,640
knew that if Rudolph started,
they would have a very bad year

415
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,240
and we'd get to see the
second-half of the season with

416
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,040
Will Howard.
And, you know, kind of looking

417
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,560
at that now, I feel like that
would have been a much more

418
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:35,160
worthwhile and meaningful year
than the same old, same old.

419
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,120
But we wouldn't have gotten that
great playoff game against

420
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:41,640
Baltimore last week.
I don't know.

421
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,160
Was it that great?
I.

422
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,200
Mean like, you know, not this
week, this week.

423
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,280
It doesn't seem that great,
right?

424
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,320
No doubt about that.
That's.

425
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,800
The thing I mean, Kevin.
Garrett Well, congratulations on

426
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,480
your 10 and seven and one and
done pick.

427
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,600
I bet you can say the same thing
next year.

428
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,800
Just say it now.
Bill did more with Bobby and

429
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,520
Neil gave Tomlin the keys to a
Super Bowl Lamborghini.

430
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,160
I mean, you know what?
You look at Tomlin's first five

431
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:17,280
years, you look at his next,
what, 1514?

432
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,560
Yeah.
I would say you can go with 15.

433
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,440
Definitely.
I, I, I would say that's

434
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,440
probably true.
Probably.

435
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,440
True.
Let's see here.

436
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,120
Welcome to the porch, Kevin.
Yeah, we got Kevin.

437
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:30,760
Gary Wilkes.
We like you, man.

438
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,680
Yoho, son.
Glad we finally see it, because

439
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,560
that's the way we see it too.
Yoho son, we could have let

440
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,960
Steronic Sceronic play QB and
done better.

441
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,640
Feel the steals back for a
little more abuse.

442
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,440
Cheers to sports sports.
Another year with Teflon Don

443
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,320
yay.
Listen man, I'm I'm telling.

444
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,760
You we'll see what happens in
this week, the rest of this

445
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,680
week.
I mean, I don't know, I'm sure

446
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,160
Tomlin already said something in
the post game that, you know,

447
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,680
probably has already made his
decision about what's going on

448
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,280
or he's going to take some time
to think about this.

449
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,120
You know, it's the classic
stuff.

450
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,920
It's the classic stuff.
There's really not much else you

451
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,160
can do from.
That right now a lot of guys in

452
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,240
the locker room are hurting.
Yeah, probably.

453
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,440
But hey, if you, if you, if you
liked Aaron Rodgers this year,

454
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,840
how do you feel about Kirk
Cousins next year?

455
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,960
Because that absolutely could
happen.

456
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,760
Atlanta's already cutting,
cutting bait with him.

457
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,680
He's going to be real cheap next
year.

458
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,240
He's already on the market.
So guess what?

459
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,600
Welcome to Pittsburgh, Kirk
Cousins.

460
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,920
Well, I could tell we're going
to have.

461
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,400
I do have a Mike.
I do have a Mike Tomlin quote.

462
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,040
There you go and asked.
Upon his future, Tomlin says.

463
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,240
I'm not even in that mindset as
I sit here tonight.

464
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,400
There you go.
I'm not even in that mindset.

465
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,360
Yet.
Can I go to bed now?

466
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,760
Oh wait, I have to drive home
yet.

467
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,880
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, you, well, you can.

468
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,120
You can go to, you can go to
bed.

469
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:08,680
How does that work on Groundhog
Day?

470
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,200
No angry driving.
No angry driving I.

471
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,120
I better, I better, I better
calm down before I get behind

472
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:16,200
that wheel.
No.

473
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,160
Angry Hey, one other step for
you guys.

474
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,400
You know, the Steelers did get 3
turnovers and they, I'm sorry,

475
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,200
the Steelers got 3 turnovers and
Houston got 2.

476
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,160
So they're a + 1 in the
differential in the playoffs.

477
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,800
A playoff team that loses the
differential, loses the

478
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,680
differential only wins 14.8% of
the time.

479
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,560
So congratulations to the Texans
on beating the odds by 85%.

480
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:50,160
I mean there there's so many
statistics you can look at.

481
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:56,960
I mean, to me, it's the point
differential 30 to 628 to 1431

482
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,440
to 17.
I mean, these aren't even close

483
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,680
people.
Yeah, we can make the playoffs

484
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,840
to absolutely not only just lose
in the playoffs, but actually

485
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,160
get laughed out of the playoffs.
It's not it's it's like it's not

486
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,000
even not even close.
Yeah, OK, maybe you can say we

487
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,920
were in it this time until the
fourth quarter.

488
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:19,400
So what when you give up, how
many points do we give up in the

489
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,480
fourth quarter?
17 points, 24 points.

490
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,120
I don't even remember.
It had to be at least 17 points.

491
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,040
That's just a joke.
It's a joke of a franchise right

492
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,640
now.
And until we can admit that,

493
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,920
look in the mirror and say
that's what we are, we'll never

494
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,040
get better.
And it's got to start with Art

495
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,680
Rooney, and then it's got to
trickle down from there.

496
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,120
I mean, let's just face it,
their draft picks over the past

497
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,240
three or four years have been
garbage.

498
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,680
Name, name a guy who's been a
draft pick who's made a

499
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,480
difference.
Maybe Friarmouth, maybe Calvin

500
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,200
Austin the third, maybe maybe
that's it.

501
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,760
The only thing I mean that's.
It the only thing I can say

502
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,240
about that is I really can't.
They didn't even play Caleb

503
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:01,920
Johnson.
This.

504
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,400
Year.
The only the only thing I can

505
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,200
say about that is that I can't
really name a draft pick that's

506
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,520
made a big difference because
even if you counted Cam Hayward,

507
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:17,320
TJ Watt, Antonio Brown, you
know, all of them, George

508
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,800
Pickens, who somebody made a
comment earlier in the chat that

509
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,520
picking stray doesn't look that
great.

510
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,600
Now you might be right.
You know, I mean, maybe they

511
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,920
keep Metcalf and Pickens and
now, but that wasn't the Arthur

512
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,280
Smith and that's arguing over
the past.

513
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,360
But, you know, the, the, the,
the, the point is that they're

514
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,720
just, they're just bad.
They're just they're, they're

515
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,560
just bad.
And the guys they did trade for

516
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,760
Ramsey, did he make that much of
a difference?

517
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,480
Nobody made none of these people
I mentioned made a difference at

518
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,400
all, even the ones that became
supposed superstars because we

519
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,640
haven't won a playoff game and
how long and it doesn't matter

520
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000
all those stats in the world.
I mean, look, Bruce Smith was

521
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,120
one of the greatest pass rushers
of all the time.

522
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,840
When you when you think about
great pass rushers, he does come

523
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,600
to your mind.
But after a couple other players

524
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,520
because they won Super Bowls.
Reggie White only won one Super

525
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,720
Bowl, but he is without a doubt
probably the greatest pass

526
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,120
rusher of all time besides
Lawrence Taylor, who won a

527
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,240
couple Super Bowls.
Besides, you know, name the guys

528
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,400
and then Bruce Smith will be
down on that list because he

529
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,440
went to a whole bunch of Super
Bowls, but he didn't win any of

530
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:28,160
them.
He didn't.

531
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,840
They didn't win any of those
games.

532
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,440
So TJ Watt may go down in
history as the Steelers sack

533
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,320
leader, but and he may get a
Hall of Fame jacket because of

534
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,000
his stats, but they're not going
to make documentaries about this

535
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,400
guy like they did Red, like they
do Reggie White and like they do

536
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,920
Bruce.
Even Bruce Smith.

537
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,160
You know what I mean.
Right.

538
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,240
They'll probably do a 30 for 30
on them, maybe on the block

539
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,760
together.
Maybe right, the brothers, the

540
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,080
brothers who had it all but
couldn't win a thing.

541
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,480
You know, I mean, like, you
know, no disrespect to them.

542
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,520
You know, they obviously played
at the top of their game, but

543
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,760
they just were, you know, some
people are just unlucky enough

544
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,120
to be in the wrong franchise and
they're great players.

545
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,760
Look at Miles Garrett.
He actually I I can't tell you

546
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,760
know, I, I, I look, I don't pity
him now because he chooses to

547
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,400
stay there.
He could have played anywhere.

548
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,880
But, you know, I mean, at the
same time, look, man, that's

549
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,760
that's why I'm going back to
this, OK?

550
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,760
That's why I'm going back to
this.

551
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,000
And if you haven't already, our

556
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,400
But that's why I go back to this
and that's why, Mark, you know,

557
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,800
the Grand Schwabeanie right
here, the grand Schwabini a

558
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,480
couple weeks ago talked about if
they lose that first game or

559
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,560
well, actually you said if they
lose to Baltimore and finish out

560
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,480
the season with losses, should
they fire Tomlin?

561
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,640
300,000 people watch that clip
and commented on it because

562
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,960
that's the hot topic and it
should be the hot topic.

563
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,720
And yes, we're tired of talking
about it, but the reason we're

564
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,440
tired of talking about it is
it's past.

565
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,440
Yeah, we need a change.
The due date is up and after you

566
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,680
have another embarrassing loss
like this.

567
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,920
OK, You don't have a choice, you
know.

568
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,240
Now to your point, HJ, when you
said you know they're going to

569
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,920
lose a lot of Steelers fans, I
don't, I don't believe that for

570
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,440
a second Steelers fan, and I
know that was hyperbole.

571
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,680
Not.
Really, Steelers, I'm.

572
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,880
Telling, I promise you there are
season ticket holders who are

573
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,040
not happy with the direction of
this team that.

574
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,960
Much is 100%.
Well, they're the.

575
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,800
Ones who buy the tickets and go
to the stadium and buy the beer

576
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,320
and buy the nachos and buy the
hot.

577
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,440
Dogs and and buy the this and
buy the that.

578
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:00,480
That's right.
I get it.

579
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,400
I mean they're.
They're a big constituent, I

580
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,400
promise you that.
Yeah, yeah.

581
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,000
You know, I I love this.
Here you go.

582
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,560
Here's another draft pick.
Roman Wilson had his career.

583
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,360
Yeah.
Roman Wilson, That was a great.

584
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,440
Pick Tomlin is with the Steelers
for five more years.

585
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:17,400
Yeah, I.
You know what he.

586
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,320
Could be.
I mean, there's Kevin.

587
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,280
Gary Wilkes is spot on with that
state.

588
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,080
Tomlin will leave and win 3
Ricks like Andy Reid.

589
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,600
Good.
You know that would.

590
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,680
Be I would be so happy for him
if that happened.

591
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,560
After Reid left the Eagles and
he could go.

592
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,680
I got I got news for you,
though.

593
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,280
Rings that ain't that ain't
happening.

594
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,400
That is definitely not.
Happening some rings too, so no.

595
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,440
I don't think.
So, no, but I mean, like Andy

596
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,560
Reid, Andy Reid built a team on
his own with Philly.

597
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,360
He just didn't get him across
the goal line, you know what I

598
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:48,760
mean?
Well.

599
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,880
At least he didn't.
Reid drafted Mahomes.

600
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,560
I mean, he did something right
up there.

601
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,480
Oh, yeah, We need a coach that
can draft the next Patty Mahomes

602
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,440
and Yoho I I'm not ready to go
to the level that you're going

603
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,280
by calling the Steelers the
Pirates.

604
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,840
To me, that's even a low blow
for the Steelers.

605
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,560
Yeah.
Are they trending in that

606
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,000
direction?
Hell yeah.

607
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,000
Yeah, they could be.
No, I say a hell yeah.

608
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,560
Actually, the the Steelers are
in just probably the weirdest

609
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:20,960
spot of any team I can remember.
I mean, look, it's not easy to

610
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,960
make the playoffs in the.
Yeah, because they're winning,

611
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,679
right?
You know, they're winning.

612
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:29,400
I mean, look, 10 and sevens,
look, it's a decent record, you

613
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,960
know, But you know, but the
bottom line is, you know, being

614
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,639
that they got into the playoffs
this year, being that they beat

615
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,920
Baltimore twice in the last five
games, which is their archrival,

616
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:47,080
there was only one way that
Tomlin could potentially get

617
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,159
fired, and that's if he was
blown out in the playoff game.

618
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,960
And he was, you know, he was
blown out from the playoff game.

619
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,040
Yeah.
It's the reason why we can talk

620
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,840
about it with Ernest now because
I mean, you know, if this is 6

621
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,680
years of futility and longer
than that for actually a playoff

622
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,560
win, but six years since 2018 of
losing.

623
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,960
This comment right here by Feel
the Steal.

624
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,120
Wonder if Stealer Nation will
chant Fire Tomlin at the draft?

625
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,240
That's where I want to.
Go, yeah, You know what?

626
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:24,360
They, they, if they, if they
have to do that, then he's not,

627
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,880
he's not going to be fired
because he's going to be

628
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,960
drafting.
There it is, Mike Tomlin.

629
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:35,480
Top of the list. 2016 to 2025,
seven consecutive playoff

630
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,360
losses.
Congratulations Mike Tomlin, you

631
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,800
made the top of the list.
You passed Marvin Lewis with

632
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,680
that loss.
He's up there with him.

633
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,320
Marvin Lewis, Marty
Schottenheimer, Jim Moore, a

634
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,400
playoffs.
Playoffs.

635
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,440
And Steven.
Yeah, yeah.

636
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,560
Congratulations.
Browns have more upside than the

637
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,680
Steelers at this point.
Well, listen, that's only

638
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,760
because that's.
Only Browns have the second best

639
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,600
draft.
Pick well, and it's also only

640
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:07,000
because when you're at the
lowest absolute possible dirt

641
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,800
bottom point as a franchise,
there is nowhere to go but up.

642
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,600
Well, you want to talk about a
franchise who is blown a lot of

643
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,320
draft picks?
My God.

644
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,560
I mean, you know, the Steelers
are at the top, but the Browns

645
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,720
are the the topest.
Here's dad joke of the night.

646
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:24,960
What is Tomlin in a 1960s female
hairstyle have in common?

647
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,480
They both know how to get blown
out.

648
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,080
OJ the wise.
You're trying, you're trying

649
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,160
hard.
That's Yeah, I mean, that's OK.

650
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:36,720
You know, I, I I think I could
have come up with something

651
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,760
better than that.
Maybe man, maybe not.

652
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,560
Tomlin is 8 and 12 in the play
offs.

653
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,680
Where's that winning record?
When it counts?

654
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:47,000
Yeah, listen when it counts.
Right on.

655
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,880
Bishop, that's the the.
You know.

656
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,320
The story all over is going to
be what are the Steelers going

657
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,560
to do now?
I think it's going to be less

658
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,480
about the insurance and outs of
why they won or lost their why

659
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,360
they lost that game.
You're going to hear lots of who

660
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,480
gets a game ball.
You're going to hear lots of

661
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:11,320
statistics all over the radio
and you're going to hear lots of

662
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,960
grades and Pro Football focus
stuff.

663
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,440
We'll leave that shit to them,
OK, Because we're we're just

664
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,680
reacting right now post game.
And my initial reaction and what

665
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,280
we've been talking about most of
this time is do the Steelers

666
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,120
really have a choice?
They, they, they, they have to

667
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,320
part ways with Mike Tomlin.
You know, they just, they have

668
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,960
to.
And I think they know this.

669
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,840
I think it's going to happen.
I think it's going to happen.

670
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,720
Did anybody on the Steelers have
a good game tonight?

671
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,560
Well, I can tell you say Amalu
didn't.

672
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,000
Did you did?
You see, did you see what

673
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,400
happened on that?
Sack I.

674
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,920
Mean he's not, he's an all, he's
an all pro left guard, right?

675
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,320
That guy not only pushed him
backwards, he pushed him

676
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,080
backwards.
He fell on his ass, went

677
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,520
backwards.
The guy made the sack, then

678
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,440
grabbed the fumble and ran for a
touchdown.

679
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,680
Well say Amalu was just standing
there saying what the hell just

680
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,120
happened.
So no, definitely nobody on the

681
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,360
offensive line.
I think you can honestly say

682
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,520
that.
I would say JP Junior probably

683
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,680
had the best game for the.
Yoho, son, they better not get

684
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,400
Harbaugh, Patrick.
Queen had 10 tackles.

685
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,440
Yeah, and I think Ji think JPJ.
Had a He wasn't very good up the

686
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,000
middle.
I I think JPJ had a good game.

687
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:33,520
Again, I go back to this.
The defense was playing pretty

688
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,760
well for most of the game and
they finally gave up.

689
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,840
They gave up the ghost basically
about halfway through the third

690
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,920
quarter.
They were gassed because the

691
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,080
offense couldn't couldn't keep
them off the field.

692
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:48,240
And so, you know, I, I, I saw a
defense that came out ready to

693
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:50,240
play.
I saw an offense that had no

694
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:53,880
real game plan, actually no real
answer for the speed of the

695
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,120
Texans.
And, and truthfully, guys, I,

696
00:38:57,240 --> 00:38:59,640
you got to give credit to that
Texans defense.

697
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,560
They, they are fast, they are
aggressive, they, they rally to

698
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,440
the ball that they're going to
give the Patriots fits next

699
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,120
week.
Drake May, I think is a very

700
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,800
good young quarterback.
This is going to be a real test

701
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,600
for him in the playoffs at home
against this defense.

702
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:21,680
I, I think the Patriots can win
that game, but I don't, I don't

703
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:22,480
know.
I don't know.

704
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,160
This defense is pretty damn
good.

705
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,440
And as you can see, the Texans
coughed up the ball a lot and

706
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,680
that defense bailed him out.
And, and it's not one of those

707
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,560
things where it's like, well,
the defense isn't going to bail

708
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,200
him out every single time.
I think this defense can bail

709
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,720
them out every single time.
So, you know, we played a, we

710
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:43,600
played against a team that was a
better team, by and large, a

711
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,080
better team better coached.
And that's what happens.

712
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,120
The Steelers made very little
adjustment to their game plan on

713
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,480
offense especially, and their
defence.

714
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,720
They couldn't, they couldn't
keep them off the field.

715
00:39:56,720 --> 00:40:00,160
And that's why they ended up
giving up 30 points and only

716
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,000
scoring 6.
And.

717
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,560
Kevin, Gary Wilkes, I'm going to
disagree with you.

718
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,040
You say Roman Wilson had an
awesome game.

719
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,520
I think he had the best game
possible.

720
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,960
You know why?
Because he was the only smart

721
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,720
one not to suit up.
In the offense, I mean.

722
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,680
That I'm assuming.
He need to perform well on this

723
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,880
offensive.
Was he inactive today?

724
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,720
I think he's been active,
inactive most of the year, Mark.

725
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,040
Robin Wilson, not most of the
year, but but for a good for

726
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,960
yeah, he was inactive today, but
not most of the year, but but a

727
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,240
good part of it.
A good part of it.

728
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:42,440
All right, listen guys, the poll
on in the YouTube chat 78% Must

729
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:47,040
the Steelers fire Tomlin now?
Hell yes 22 not yet on Twitter

730
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,400
on X excuse me someday I'll get
used to calling it X 90% hell

731
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,880
yes 2010% not yet.
So you know, I, I think and

732
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,840
right now emotions are high.
We get it, emotions are high,

733
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,040
but I I don't think I'm going to
back off of this now.

734
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,200
Peace out, Yoho son.
Yeah, so listen, guys, if you
