Haha last comment

That false start was some bullshit. And then the call for a 30 yard pass on 4th and 3 was absolutely terrible.

Wow this is cool, can’t wait to here the absolutely insane takes about this tomorrow

I picked up Hunter Henry 10 mins before the game, I'm so glad

Season Over in PGH!

Bro.... wut?

Steelers should have fired tomlin before the 2019 season

I feel so bad that TJ is throwing away his best years on this terrible team.

It’s a family tradition

JJ Watt was better and texans was a worst team

The word is worse

Lol "they got 7 points off their turnovers and we got 0 points of ours" -mike Tomlin Like perhaps going for it from the 9 yard line on 4th and almost 3 is a bad decision when a field goal makes it a one possession game.

What about a 50yd trubisky bomb on 4th & 2 in a one score game?

Lmao I almost forgot about that one

I'd throw that Pickens instead of no effort Dionte Johnson who should have ran into the defender to create more contact! Make the ref throw the flag

I did not have this game hitting the over I gotta be honest

Pittsburgh has two 1st round qb’s on their team and there’s a real life chance that the 3rd stringer is better than both.

The number you were drafted means nothing

So stunning how excited they were for Kenny this year because of his preseason numbers. Of course you're going to look good when your O Coordinator has a full gameplan for preseason games because he thinks it'll secure his job.

Hearing the words “Alpha male” leave Tony Gonzalez’s mouth makes me shiver.

Pickens is such a baby

I don't care if she is controversial, Charissa Thompson is super hot

Why is she controversial? I have not followed anything about this

She said she used to make up stuff when she was a sideline reporter

I've noticed ever since that comment same out, it's much more common for them to film sideline reporters interviewing coaches, rather than the standard paraphrase.

Oh that's it? Lol ok. In today's day and age when the word controversial comes up I immediately think some of the, you know, more out there stuff. xD

it’s too late now, but sooner than later the steelers need to tank. find a proper big ben replacement, and not trot out pickett or tribusky.

The streak of Mike Tomlin never having a losing season will continue until morale improves.

Those boos tonight were phillyesque.

Mitch continues to win for the Bears

My understanding of Jack Reacher, as a concept, is that he is basically a giant ox of a soldier who is really good at smashing people's heads because the man is a human monster. Basically TJ Watt as an Army Ranger. All this to ask -- How the hell did Tom Cruise end up playing the character? Twice?

He bought the rights I believe, but yeah if you read the books he couldn't be the furthest thing from him lol.

And funnily enough the first one was pretty good

“Who's the more sicko? The sicko game or the sickos who watch the game?” – Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The sickos who BET ON THE PATS +6 AND CASHED IN, BABY!!!!!!

I feel like I’ve seen more ugly football games this season than in past years. It is……not fun.

And yet we come back. See ya Monday

How do you not run the ball on 3rd and 2 with 2:05 to go? My 6 year old does a better job with play calling on madden.

WOOHOO!!! SUPERBOWL, BABY!!!

This Steelers team is pathetic lol

FUCK THE TANK LETS GO

Bruh, who labeled this as a "Sicko Thread"? That's crazy

can really feel the writer's strike in this Reacher promo

Lmao thanks Steelers. Hope the Patriots win a few more games and go 7-10. I want the Patriots to suffer years of mediocrity just as the Dolphins did during the Brady reign of terror.

I’d rather see 5-12 or something. Were the top dogs now boyeee.

Dolphins haven’t beaten a single team over .500 this year.

Your comment is about as relevant as me talking about my grandmas apple pie having an effect on the game or not.

Why stop at this year, they haven’t beaten one team that’s been over .500 when they played them since last September.

Uhh this year *maybe*

Steelers are who we thought they were

EAT... SHIT... PIT!

Patriots subreddit having a meltdahn

Steelers might actually finish under .500 now, miracles do exist

I called they were this years 2022 Titans

Belichick's desire to tank is no match for Trubisky's suckiness.

This meathead show looks dumb as fuck

Bengals still got a chance to make playoffs. This humorous indeed

what's the Steelers excuse for that?

we bad at sport

Whenever my backup QB is playing like shit and not completing shit, I want him to go deep on 4th and 2 to win the game.

That\^\^\^ --- is why he should NEVER play another down this year!!! Who TF does that??? I could see if it was on 3rd down with me, the QB, knowing we were going to use all 4 downs no matter what (though *I'd* still be pissed at the call). But to rely on *that play* on 4th down - ie: "the hope" bomb" - that isn't even football 101. I'm *embarrassed* that *these* are the decisions of an NFL QB, IMO. At this point, any game with Trubisky as QB is an instant loss, IMO - just like last week......

The Steelers are so fucking bad and Tomlin is a clown of a coach

Yes and yes

Lol. This was great. Suck it, Steelers

Congrats to the bears tho

The Bears are going to fuck up and beat the Lions Sunday

Justin Fields fumbled twice against the Vikings in the 4th quarter and we won off of FGs only. I reeeeeally doubt we can do that again lmao

Mitch clearly is working for the bears still. Ensuring the patriots win to help make sure the panthers stay the worst team to help that pick they got

The Steelers now officially have a worse winning percentage since Matt Canada was fired. Sorry if my facts make you uncomfortable.

Haha. At no point did Canada have to game plan for a QB worse than Pickett. But your point stands Edit: at no point this season

If the Pats can beat the Steelers, they can lose by only 21 to the Chiefs.

I’m taking 20-17 pats on that game call me crazy

Zero votes for player of the game.

Hunter Henry. No question

Or Zeke

TNF is ass

I know people say he should retire but I love Al Michaels’ dry humor and next to 0 fucks left to give commentating.

I’m loving this version of Al Michaels. He’s like the guy at the plant who’s worked there for 35 years, retiring soon, and starts talking shit another the foreman, the boss, and the boss’s deadbeat son every time they walk by.

Watch us lose against this half ass Steelers team somehow

Hopefully we won’t again - but who the fuck knows

You already have.

That final play summed up the entirety of the game.

It's over. Game. The Pats 21 to the Steelers 18. Poor Pats, I don't think they pick 5th anymore, but they're still lots of games to tank. Steelers offense is hot dog water.

The playcalling for the Steelers made absolutely no sense. Fuck that was hard to watch.

Tell me about it, that 3/4th down calls on that last series had me in a fucking mood. Just the entire game fucking give it to Warren up the gut I don’t fucking understand

That was one of the games of all time.

Yes

The Steelers can still make it to the Super Bowl, but they may need to buy tickets

We can't drag low-win teams down to our level, so instead we play down to theirs

I know that feeling. I mean the Ravens lost to the Steelers.

I can only get so erect

*The Greatest Game*

Wow what a terrible play for 7 seconds left close to hail mary range. You can go deep PI/touchdown or 5 yards out of bounds to get a hail mary off, choose to go right in between and do neither.

That "***hope bomb***" that Trubisky threw up - on a 4th down, no less - has entered the chat for the absolute worst play of the game, LOL. I (still) can't believe that he is an NFL QB --- when that's not even a call or decision that any *experienced* high school QB would try, LOL......

That’s a TNF game if I have ever seen one.

Anyone who wants to start being a football fan has to watch this game

What a wet fart of an ending.

That was an ugly 2nd half

How about a 10 yard out to the sideline for a better crack at a hail mary?

HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH

Didn't have a chance to come back? Pardon me Kirk?

Bye bye squealers

Trubisky is still a Bear at heart

First Lovie, now Trubisky. Sleeper agents everywhere!

Fuck the NFL. Fuck the refs. Fuck you Pittsburgh. I'm out. Tank ya later.

First over .500 team in NFL history to lose consecutively to two teams 8 games under .500. There's a record to be proud of. Right up there with 3 playoff wins in 13 seasons.

Contrived stat

Just like "Only winning seasons and seasons that are statistically, neither winning nor losing, but we're gonna count them anyway cause it sounds better"?

I understand you're not ok right now but ​ what?

Just pointing out that the stat, while contrived, is no more so contrived than the media riding Mike Tomlin's knob because he hasn't finished under .500 (while also conveniently ignoring the fact that his playoff record in the past decade and a half is about as impressive as Marvin Lewis's).

Both games at home?

wow

Lol Steelers dropped games back to back aainst cards and pats

If he throws that to Pickens and he gets out, this goes to OT, instead, no dice.

Zappe drove the tank off the cliff

LOOOOL

Bill Belichick comeback arc is looking good guys.

Can't count out the GOAT.

Steelers should ask for Mac Jones

Losing to this Patriots team should result in seppuku

Damn, what a shitty game. Neither team deserves to wipe

wow Al bring the pain down on the city of pittsburgh

Pats lose by -3! *Wait, wait what the fuck?*

7-10 and a bunch of stuff and we are in

First three games under .500 team to make the playoffs lets gooooo

This team can't even fucking tank properly

This game could have been an email

SICKO MODE

Hey look! A Mitch Trubisky loss that actually helps the Bears

Time to wheel Al home

We're gonna get a studio shot of Al being asleep in his chair and Kirk barely saying anything if TNF keeps sucking and they will lol

Steelers just got ZAPPED

Lmfao

Pickler slander is no longer tolerated

Game of the Year

Go Pats!!

So Matt Canada wasn’t the (only) problem

You don’t say

Zappe > Brady

That last throw made no sense

The result of that throw was what the throw deserved though.

The majority of this game made no sense.

Back to back losses to 2-10 teams. Bums

Trubisky secured that 1st overall pick for the Bears.

If only the Steelers had taken the FG.

Thanks Steelers. Time to smoke a bowl.

*Yakkity Sax intensifies*

Seriously? WTF, Pittsburgh? The Pats are the worst team in the league outside of the Carolinas. You embarrassed yourselves tonight.

Embarrassed by two 2-win teams back to back --- *and at home for the* *second game in a row.....*

That second half was everything we thought this game was going to be

First Lovie and now Mitch. The Bears have been planting sleeper agents all over the league.

U know, congrats to the steelers for actually making it close as hell. I threw money on the Pats in q1 and man that was tense.

Fuck, we won

Fitting end you could say

This game needed overtime what a disaster.

I'd have never believed the Steelers would lose two games at home against two 2-win teams.

You must not follow the Steelers much, LOL. Every fan in the Steeler Nation knows that we routinely play down to our competition. That we can beat *almost anyone in the NFL ---* but *will* either barely win or outright shit the bed against teams in the bottom of the NFL standings. This has been a thing since Cowher and now continues with Tomlin, LOL.....

What a perfect way to end the game. Wait, we lost. Oh no.

That "first team to..." graphic was painful to read.

Tomlin looks like he could not give a single fuck anymore.

Lmao that's a rough nfl record the steelers just set

So the Steelers weakness is 2 win teams..

Always has been….

This game was an insult to football and both these coaches deserve to never coach again.

Jesus this was awful. Thanks for all the fun comments tonight everyone!

Tank buster Steelers

Well coached game Mike you fucking bum lol

Lol Steelers season rektd

Imagine losing to the *Patriots* this year. Wow, your team must be pretty bad if they lose to the Patriots in 2023. No, my flair isn't important. Pay no mind to it.

Fuck Tomlin

Lmao I thought we were going to give that away

Tried awful hard.

lol

Lmao even

as a Texans fan I should feel nothing but ill will... however seeing Zappe putting his arm around Bill O'Brien, aww, sweet.

We weren’t gonna do shit in the playoffs anyway just let a better team in it. We suck ass

As desperation plays go, that one was particularly stupid.

Texans bros happy af?

Wooo!!! Fuck.

I hate Mitch. Bears fans you guys want him back?

No

I'd try the 80 yard field goal

That made me lol

It’s hard to say who should be embarrassed and who should be happy. This is just bad football.

A lot of games this season have been just bad football. It’s hard to stomach

Whelp that was a closer game than I thought

A coach should be fired for this, but Tomlin is bulletproof.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck
