If I were a Steelers fan I wouldn't get excited just yet. Let me, a Giants fan, spin you a tale of what happens when a coach is forced to retire against his will and he curses your franchise for the next decade...

I hope the Steelers enter a decade of sadness to the point where the fans dream of the 9-7 and 9-8 glory days.

Also, the Browns, Steelers, and Ravens have an opportunity to do the funniest thing possible with Tomlin, Harbaugh, and Stefanski.
 
Who would have thought that Zac fucking Taylor would be the last man standing in the AFC North.

I bet the Steelers go after Belichick now.

For sure this was a way for everyone to save face without having to fire Tomlin. Considering how long he was there for, makes sense. He was there for a few years too long, and after yet another blowout loss in the playoffs there wasn't any justification to bring him back again. I could easily see Tomlin going right into broadcasting and if a team in a year or two gives him a call he comes back.

As a Packers and Rodgers fan, this weekend was lousy. But that's how sports goes. Oh well.
Honestly I do hope Rodgers retires. Yeah he didn't have a good last playoff game (which in the grand scheme of things nobody will remember), he did have a relatively strong enough regular season and I don't think he could replicate that again. It just feels like the right time.

When the last highlights of your career go from slumming for the Jets to a Pittsburgh playoff loss? Get while the gettin is good!

Asking for more than a reverse Neil O'Donnell is greedy.

The Steelers definitely don't win the division or make the playoffs without Rodgers. He was the difference in at least 3 wins (Jets and both Ravens games, maybe more) which was enough to get them in. The best the Steelers could have hoped for was maybe winning one playoff game but anything beyond that wasn't happening. Rodgers should overall be happy with how this season went. At the very least he got the Jets stink off him.

Not everyone can get the Elway or Peyton fairytale ending of walking away after a Super Bowl win. Even Brady went out in his last game getting blown out by the Cowboys of all teams, which again in the big picture means nothing for a legendary Hall of Fame QB. I think if Rodgers comes back for another year it would one year too late and it wouldn't go well at all.

I might have to make an exception this time, and Stroud sucks but it really doesn't matter. That turd tried like hell to give the game away and they still won by 24. Imagine if he just plays mediocre, they'll beat almost anybody.

If the Steelers weren't absolute ass (fire Tomlin now), the Texans would have been blown out with all those turnovers they kept giving the frauds from Pittsburgh. Sucks for Rodgers that this is how he goes out.

Texans will absolutely pulverize the Pats next week on defense alone. That'll be funny, but it's time for the Broncos to step up after that end this farce.
 
Steelers have gone through TWO full offensive line rebuilds in the last 7ish years and failed each one. Maybe third time will be the charm with a new head coach and staff? Not with that retarded jeet as GM :story:

I heard this on the Rich Eisen show. I'm debating featuring this. On the one hand, it's the end of an era, and a winning season record that may never be broken. On the other hand, it's not as funny as Micah Parsons being traded to the Packers.
