Baby Hair is cooking in Piffsburgh


All Tomlin needed was a QB who was average. Somebody who can reliably throw and hit an open receiver.


Tomlin has been squeaking out winning seasons with Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, Duck Hodges, and Mitch Trubisky. Absolute horseshyt

A motivated Mr Ciara is just what the Steelers needed

You must not have read this:


He's not playing like he did in Denver unless you're just stat watching and not game watching.

Fair enough.
Though I'd argue the only thing mentioned in that post that could matter is the difference in YPA.
And that is almost definitely heavily skewed by the fact that he's played some pretty bad teams.

But ok. We'll see how it finishes.

It has more to do with who is calling plays instead of the competition. Sean Payton didn't want him and wasn't trying to adapt his system. He had him playing dink and dunk offense.

Pittsburgh is actually playing to his skillet and having him throw down field.

Blame the OC
Russ asked Beastmode if he should audible to him, Marshon said no. Rest is history.

Finding out he asked Marshawn directly, and he said "No", and then the rest of the team ran with it like Russ was the problem for a DECADE and we ain't hear a peep from Russ made me look at ALL of them a little sideways.

Marshawn could've said that years ago and got Russ a little grace, but he let Sherm and the rest of the internet roast him for some shyt he tried to correct in real time.

Or how that Defense gets off Scott free, when all they had do was make a stop in the 4th quarter and they win.

Russell Wilson in 2023
66.4 completion %
5.8 TD%
1.8 INT%

Russell Wilson in 2024
64.8 completion %
5.6 TD%
1.4 INT%

Russell Wilson hasn't discovered the fountain of youth and he's not "leading" the Steelers to victory.
He's leaning on the Steelers running game and defense.

It's working. But that's not the same as Russell being this big difference maker.

Keep in mind that Wilson has played
vs CLE (W)
@ CIN (W)
@ CLE (L)
vs BAL (W)
@ WAS (W)
vs NYG (W)
vs NYJ (W)

Every one of those teams has a losing record except Washington and Baltimore. And those games were decided by 1 point and 2 points, respectively. And Russell was not particularly good in either one.

There's a lot to be said about Mike Tomlin for creating a system where the team remains competitive. The Steelers are 10-3 and probably no one expected this.
But the team's record obscures the fact that this team's margin of error is tiny.

Pittsburgh leads the NFL in Time of Possession and they are 4th in Opponent Rushing Yards per Game. This team is grinding out wins. To be fair, you play to win the game so credit where its due.

That said, a lot has to go right for them to grind out 3 wins in January.

And candidly, if the Chiefs didn't lose Isaiah Pacheco (though he's back now), Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice to injuries, that offense might look fearsome AF to teams like the Steelers, Ravens and Bills.

I'm not necessarily counting out the Steelers. But I don't think Russell Wilson is going to be the X-Factor.

Russell Wilson vs the Eagles yesterday:

14 of 22
128 yards
1 TD
0 INT

It's like I'm saying.
He's not suddenly a good quarterback. He's game managing the Steelers and leaning on the running game and defense to victories.
It didn't work yesterday.

Now I'm sure someone will chime in: But the Steelers were missing George Pickens!!
It wouldn't have mattered.

Now they've got to play
@ Ravens
vs Chiefs
vs Bengals

This Ravens game is huge because the division lead is on the line.
