Ones where the Steelers are eliminated from the playoffs?

 

HM SHOULD I PUSH THE LIKE BUTTON ON THOSE LAST TWO POSTS

 

I'm sure the Browns have narrowed their OC choice down to him and McAdoo.

 

Tomlin's out.

 

Where are you seeing this report?

 

I'm praying for a Jacksonville/Minnesota Superbowl.

 

Yeah I went looking yesterday after seeing that post and couldn’t find anything. Someone being a jerk.

ESPN had an article titled TOMLIN parting ways with OC.

Me thinks someone did a quick glance and misread it.

 

@vin

Yeah but as they mentioned on PTI typically firing the coordinators is typically the prelude to you now being on the hot seat. I know they love Tomlin in Pittsburgh and they are the most stable franchise ever with HC (Only had three in the past forty plus years) but you wonder if they do not break through soon they will look to replace Mike. They simply have too much talent to be being knock out in the first round like this.

 

On the other hand, there have been so many reported clashes between Ben and Haley in the last several years, that perhaps ultimately this was needed, try and restore some sense of cohesiveness with the team.

 

Tomlin deserves some of the heat for the loss against the Jags last weekend as some of the Steeler players were looking passed the Jags and towards the Pats. Additionally, some of the coaches decisions such as calling for the onset kick with like 2:30 left in the game and a couple of the 4th down play calling. But, none of that spells termination for Tomlin.

So, TB12 didn't practice yesterday due to a mysterious hand injury. We'll just have to wait until game day to see if there's anything to it. Let's see if Tom Coughlin could pass down some knowledge to Doug Marrone to help beat the Patriots, as it's been Coughlin's Giants teams that were able to beat the Pats in the Super Bowl. The obvious key is to pressure TB12 up the middle and make him feel uncomfortable.

 

@Luke02
Speculation isn't the same as flat out saying he's gone.

@Sith_Sensei__Prime
I'm not buying that TB12 garbage. A story like that only escapes because Belisnoke allows it. He's bridging a connection between media and the Jagoffs. And Jacksonville isn't wise enough to see it.

 

I think the Jags will see it as a smoke screen and prepare for TB12 accordingly. However, should TB12 get injured, Brian Hoyer will be under center. That's a scary thought for Pats fans, but a delight for everyone else.

BTW, the 49ers winning 5 games with Jimmy G screwed the 2nd round draft pick position with the Pats, as before the trade between the 9ers and Pats, that 2nd round pick looked to be 32 or 33 overall, and now it's looking like it going to be around 42 or 43.

 

@Sith_Sensei__Prime

I agree with that and then I don’t about Brian Hoyer. I seen him play up and close and personal with the Bears last year. He isn’t the GOAT obviously but he is honestly a solid/steady NFL QB. I would not be shocked at all if Brian step in and was able to lead them to a victory at home against the Jags.

 

I'd be shocked if Hoyer beat the Jags in the biggest game of his life. I mean, the Jags have one of the top defenses in the NFL and it would take a career performance by Hoyer to beat the Jags. But, I'm sure all this will be moot when TB12 starts the game on Sunday.

The Pats are a 9 point favorite over the Jags, and the Over/Under for the total points is 46. I'd take the Pats with that point spread and take the "Over" in the total points scored.

Looks like the Eagles are underdogs again against the Vikings this weekend.

 

Maybe they'll bench him. It worked for the Gia...err nevermind. @Point Given

 

I don't have any problem with the onside kick being called, but the execution was horrible both times.

 

But won't the rapist clash with pretty much everyone? He's just a jerk. And a rapist.
