Was it Bryce Paup?

Going to book Sean McDermott for my next corporate speaking gig after he gets fired from the Bills.

You can't lose at home back to back weeks against Arizona & New England.

Midway through the second quarter Zappe has thrown 3 TD passes vs the Steelers and the Pats are up 21-3. What?

Mike Tomlin is one of the greatest frauds ever.

[JWags85]

Mike Tomlin is one of the greatest frauds ever.

This is such a hilariously stupid take.

Never had a losing season as a HC, won a SB, made another SB, pair of AFC champ losses.  In 16 seasons, only finished outside the top 2 in the AFC North twice.  10 seasons of 10+ wins, looking primed to add another this year.

And he just turned 50 last year.

But yea TOTAL fraud

Agree. My comment was on the curious first half performance by the Pats and their QB, not a rip on Tomlin. His record speaks for itself. Staying competitive with a declining Rothlesberger and replacement Pickett/Trubisky hasn't been easy but they still play tough.

All they do is underperform with him, bad playoff losses, bad regular season losses.  Steelers fans generally are more than done with him. 

[HutchwasClutch]

Tomlin's last playoff win was the 2016 season.  #overrated

[DegenerateDish]

Funny that last year Lovie gifted the Bears the first pick, and this year Trubisky did the same thing.

Mitch had a great Justin Fields line tonight.

MU82, what is your take on Tepper's supposed obsession with Ben Johnson?

[MU82]

MU82, what is your take on Tepper's supposed obsession with Ben Johnson?

He wants a young, offense-minded coach, and he apparently thinks Johnson would be perfect. He wants someone Bryce Young can related to and who will grow along with Young. I think Tepper also likes that Johnson is NC born and raised and went to UNC.

Whomever Tepper hires will immediately be one of the highest-paid coaches in the NFL. For the sake of that person, I hope he has final say on personnel decisions ... and doesn't mind an owner (and an owner's wife) who meddles.

Frank Wycheck passes away after a fall at home and hitting his head.  Retired at 32 after numerous concussions.

Very sad news. Didn't he throw the Music City Miracle lateral?

Yes

[DegenerateDish]

I know he needs reps, but might be time to bench Bryce Young.

[MUBurrow]

I know he needs reps, but might be time to bench Bryce Young.

Yeah - he also needs things to be organized and stable. At this point is he really getting anything out of this? Seems he's shellshocked and more of the same isn't going to make the game slow down any sooner for him.

[MU82]

What's going on with Young? I'm at the Milwaukee airport and the only game on any tvs here is Lions-Bears.

Do you remember playing Pac Man?  When all of the ghosts arrived at you at the same time?   Young looked like a hapless.Pac Man player and the entire Saints.defense were ghosts.  Like a 5 person sack leading to a fumble.

[MU82]

Yeah, he's so effed. Never saw anything close to this at Bama.

I thought they should have given him the second half off a couple weeks ago. Sounds like they should today, too.
