Geesh…Minshew threw it 80 mph behind him 

Just throw it normal and you are likely winning by 1….oh well, just your season

Colts waste that timeout for Minshew to throw a shitty pass.

Coaches cannot handle the clock

That should be a quick and ready go to play in those situations.

Oh well….I think Texans are a better playoff competitor

I get the play had the guy open, but maybe just run it? Minshew to a guy with 6 catches on the year?

I’d imagine the Texans are the team the Browns least want to face out of them, Colts, and Jaguars?

Well, time to cheer for Tennessee and/or Miami today. With the best case being Miami wins and Tua gets his brain broke again.

Zero chance the Titans win….they’ve not even been trying.

It will 100% go down to tonight and likely the final few seconds. The NFL way.

Buffalo like no injuries and Miami all busted up. Oh well.

I would say say so. Jags looking like they want to help Pittsburgh back into the playoffs.

So PIT will get the winner of BUF/MIA?  Should be the 5th straight blowout playoff loss for Tomlin.  Especially since it seems unlikely Watt will play.

UNLESS the NFWWE decides the briefly bealeagured Tomlin, who used 3 different QBs and needed help to get into the playoffs enroute to a SB, is too good of a story to pass up...

If Miami wins, wouldn't it be KC? Pittsburgh had the "make the playoffs" tiebreaker over Buffalo, so I'd think if they had the same record, they'd be 6 and Buffalo would be 7.

gut you are tough to handle in these situations 

The AFC gets 7 teams in the playoffs and Pittsburgh is the 7th best team. I’m miserable to watch a game with but are you ever happy? Did you celebrate when Watt was injured so they can more likely get blown out in the playoffs,

Yes I can be upset they held on to Canada so long. 

Yes I can hate that Tomlin is conservative with going along with Canada.

Yes I want the Steelers to be competitors in the playoffs and not participants 

Yes I can blame Tomlin for going with  Trubisky

Yes I can blame Tomlin for the way Diontae and Pickens have acted like children

Yes I can blame for every negative thing that has happened this season and past seasons.

But for fuck sakes Jesus Christ they just earned a playoff spot, won 10 games and rattled off a clutch final 3 games with a 3rd string QB a completely decimated defensive backfield and had to compete in the toughest division in football and went 5-1…..and did it with 1…. ONE legitimate Pro Bowl player. Tomlin isn’t the devil and I’m sorry that he slept with your wife, but he adjusted and deserves a lot of credit for the successes.

Crack a smile for 9 seconds and quit being insufferable.

Dolphins win- rematch with Bills

Bills win- Dolphins play KC and Bills play Steelers.

The team will continue being insufferable in the post season until Tomlin is gone. Period.

Tomlin is an average coach that has been given above average talent.  He won his only SB serving an apprenticeship while Cowher's coaches and players carried him to a title (one, incidentally, that required not one but TWO of the greatest plays in SB history and still had to hang on at the end).

He hires shitty coaches.  He is ultra conservative and completely lacking in innovation.  He's not capable of building a championship contender, and has been failing at it for over a decade now.

I'm tired of suffering through ugly wins week after week, year after year with no hope of doing anything in the playoffs.  Until Tomlin is finally gone, I will continue to bitch about the most overrated coach in all sports history.  Barry Switzer would have done just as much in PIT as Tomlin has.

I know man…you’ve posted this several times. We get it.

I hate David Bell…and he’ll drive me insane every year most every game….but if he gets the Reds into the playoffs with one legitimate all-star. I’ll be happy, even though short lived.

With or without Watt I don’t think Steelers can compete at all with the Bills, Dolphins…..the Chiefs receivers would actually catch the ball and blow us out. Fighters chance knowing the Ravens and Browns but without Watt unlikely.

Too many years of disappointment, and I gave up hoping for better outcomes some time ago.  His teams frequently start slow in the playoffs and get boat raced, and it's understandable if you just believe the many times Tomlin has said he likes to ease into the game and probe what the other team is doing.  And then they get curb stomped because the other team has the coaching and talent to exploit his simple schemes and unimaginative approach.

His checker playing works well in the regular season, but in the playoffs the game is chess.

Man on one of the pregame shows today (I think ESPN) one of the guys just went off on refs not protecting Justin Fields like they do everyone else….then Fields slides feet first and gets smoked by Packers guy and his head slams off the field. No penalty, nothing. Two plays later same refs make Fields leave the field during their drive to go get checked for con
