    NFL Bans Made Up Thing Called Hip Drop Tackle

    James Harrison has already been fined $10,000.

    Gerry Dulac is reporting Pickett to the Eagles

    Problem was the offense was usually averaging less than 16.

    Gerry Dulac is reporting Pickett to the Eagles

    Bottom 3 in nearly every offensive category.

    Gerry Dulac is reporting Pickett to the Eagles

    Pickett's #1 job was to play conservative and not turn the ball over. Shades' idea of a good game is not turn the ball over and let defense win the game. Problem is that 1) his defense isn't that good and 2) his offense doesn't put up enough points in the modern version of the NFL (see #1).

    Gerry Dulac is reporting Pickett to the Eagles

    I didn't think there was anything wrong with Pickett that couldn't be fixed with better coaching. James Harrison says Hi.

    Exactly. Pressley Harvin III. Never a losing season, greatest punter ever.

    Kenny Pickett, never a losing season. Greatest quarterback ever.

    Are Steeler fans, on average, more knowledgeable than other fan bases' fans?

    Never a losing season. Greatest coach ever.

    Are Steeler fans, on average, more knowledgeable than other fan bases' fans?

    In a Steelers FB group today I pointed out that they've won 3 playoff games in 13 years and none in the past 7. Predictably, a member of the Tomlin Fan Club told me to go root for another team. Thing is, the longer Shades goes without a Super Bowl or even a playoff win only reinforces the fact...

    I got to ask: What has changed?

    Arians was the WR coach under Cowher and was promoted to OC when Whiz left. He was already here and Ben liked him. I doubt that Shades had much to do with that. Except for that and a couple lower level people, Shades had Cowher’s coaching staff pretty much intact for his first four years.

    As mentioned, it appears that Shades is under the gun but I think the rash of changes is FO driven. I think he knows he has to do some things differently but I do not believe he is capable of changing very much or he would done it by now. Again, 3 playoff wins in 13 years and none in the last 7...

    I got to ask: What has changed?

    Deuce is tired of no playoff wins. The Bruce was not an outside hire, he was the WR under Cowher. When Cowher “retired” his OC Whisenhunt went to the Cards to be HC. Shades’ best coordinators were the three he didn’t hire, Arians, LeBeau, and Haley. Everyone else he promoted from within and they...

    He will get the usual two year extension but if there aren’t any playoff runs, and I have zero confidence that there will be, he will “retire” at the end of it.

    I’m thinking his next extension will be his last one.

    Gerry Dulac is reporting Pickett to the Eagles

    Exactly. Been watching Shades long enough to know he’s the type who hates change and new people. Been a lot of very un-Shades like moves beginning with Canaduh’s firing.

    Coach Shades’ ceiling is 11 wins and a first round playoff loss no matter who his QB is. It’s simply as good as he knows how to be.

    I figured out what I was feeling about all this

    Bingo. Thing is, they need to make all these moves and a new OC just to stay even. Like I said, they lucked out when Burrow got hurt, if not for that they’re not in the playoffs. Browns are gonna Brown and won’t be able to afford to put much talent around Watson. Still gonna be a chore to finish...
