Kolek planning to go pro
The Steelers are in trouble. They actually have been in a gradual decline ever since they lost to the Packers in the SB after the 2010 season.In the 8 seasons since then, they have won only 3 playoff games and have failed to make the playoffs 3 times. When you have a future HoF QB playing well, you can cover up some problems, but when you lose Roethlisberger, Bell and Brown bang-bang-bang, even while you let numerous other good players go to other teams over the years, you reach a point where it's difficult to compete for anything that matters.
I have a couple friends that are big Steelers fans, and knowledgeable/reasonable football guys. They've been done with Tomlin for a few years. Not screaming for him to be fired, but fine with him being gone when he is. The 2017 playoffs capped it for them.He's always struck me as a CEO/locker room type, as opposed to a tactical genius. His clock management has always been suspect. But he looked like he has been going through the motions this year. I already talked about how disgusted I was by their gameplan and execution against NE. But what a lifeless bunch on Sunday as well. A thoroughly average Seattle team had them at bay all game in their house. Even when Ben went down Rudolph played well enough for them to have a shot at winning, but their defense was spineless and atrocious.
AB released. Shocking!!
Have to respect the Patriots organization on this one. My guess is new info came out that they wanted no part of and won't put up with.
They tampered to sign him, and then fast tracked him to play, even with allegations swirling. They released him after it got even worse. I'm not going to give them some moral congratulations for doing this after living in the grey area for 2 weeks.
Robert Kraft has way too much integrity for this. He would never support someone who committed sexual improprieties.
Funny
The Patriots are literally the worst.
Wild speculation on my part, but you gotta wonder if AB doesn't have a touch of the CTE similar to Aaron Hernandez.....he is just way too erratic
Bruce Arians completely botched the end of that game. Took delay of game, Winston kneels, they lose 7 yards, kick missed by maybe 2 yards, what a terrible end of game job.
