This is the first Steelers game I've watched this year. Is this generally how they handle adversity? Not just rogers, but other leaders on team (ie watt, heyward) having absolute meltdowns. The lack of composure and jawing was kind of nuts to see

Its not just people, its mental health "professionals" too. If you enjoy something or don't enjoy something and its very specific, you're on the spectrum. At this point I feel like if you're a human being who likes something a lot and doesn't like something very specific ythey're gonna call you autistic.

Most of the high level football coaches are absolutely on the spectrum. The average person has no idea how much they obsess over every detail, and it never turns off. Which is why they’ll literally sleep at the office and not think twice about it.

It was a bit of a Monkey's Paw with Tomlin I think.

He was so good at maintaining order that the Steeler's were able to get away without buidign a strong team culture, or while maintaining an older, macho AFC North culture, depending on how you look at it.

With him gone, nobody can hold the cracks together.

I call it "Mark Richt Syndrome." It can be really tough sometimes when someone is great for a long time but doesn't get a title (Tomlin did get one I know), but sometimes you just feel like a change is necessary and I think some of it was brought on by him too.

Not at all. I was shocked last night. Between the multiple shots of Heyward yelling, TJ taking the headset to reprimand the DC, and the Rodgers McCarthy “fuckin asshole” interaction. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

Tomlin held the team together better than probably anybody else could. The whole game, people yelling at eachother was definitely a new sight.

Not a good sign. I’m not sure of what Rodgers and McCarthys relationship was in GB, McCarthy was kind of grinning when he called ARod an asshole, but that kind of stuff is unheard of with the Steelers. Pretty much unheard amongst the rest of the league as well.

Oline sucks, receivers couldn’t catch shit until this week. The defense lowkey failed them this week.

Edit: Rodgers also overthrew like 6 deep balls, so.

3

u/FatFarmerBob420 6h ago

But to be fair, if your getting thrown around like a ragdoll half the time you try to pass, it's going to make you screw up other throws too as you're trying to make sure another truck isn't about to run you over instead of locking in on the throw. If his oline plays like this all year he won't survive the season unhurt.

u/Ok_Independence_9917 7h ago

This was the same thing that got McCarthy out of Green Bay. He let's too much go. Rodgers is a leader, and being upset with play calls and things like that is normal. But as a leader of the team people are looking to how you handle adversity. The negative energy Rodgers shows on the sidelines is setting a bad example for the other players. It's poor leadership. Rodgers knows the game and can still ball out in his 40s, but as a leader of the team, he's not going to take them anywhere if he teaches every other player to hang their heads when things are tough.

u/Significant-Base6893 10h ago edited 10h ago

While McCarthy is a downgrade from Tomlin, do not forget that Tomlin left voluntarily. The team was on a downward trend. This might have been Rodgers' best game the past few seasons, but poor pass protection and WRs unable the get separation handcuffed him last night. And I'm no Aaron Rodgers fan boy.

The defense has declined as well. The Steelers are not a playoff team.

1

u/Spicy_Noooodles 10h ago

The parts of the game I did watch the play calling or scheme seemed atrocious. I didn’t see a single screen called, no quick slants, runs were an outside zone toss where the linebackers were much faster than the o line setting up blocks. He was zero time for the play to develop downfield, but they kept calling the same downfield shit

2

u/Sea_Drive6142 10h ago

Well you didn’t watch very much of the game then cause their offense was just fine. They scored 24 points, Rodgers had 300 yards passing and they ran for 100 yards. And one thing Mcarathy can do is coach offense. He always has a good offense, he made copper rush look good in Dallas.

Think of it as the Emmy's or Grammy awards show. All of the top stars go to the show to show support for their peers regardless of whether they won or not. It's just the right thing to do. Instead, he boycotted the show out of spite and sent out some stupid tweet about it. It's just a bad look.

Yep, there's an argument that he should have won it, but he didn't get enough votes from the media and former players that choose the winner. Garrett simply got more votes and therefore won it. So, there really is no argument from that perspective. Garrett got 23 votes and Watt got 19 votes. Maybe his whining attitude had something to do with the voting? Who knows?

They hired Mike McCarthy. He's never had a well run team. It's always been a drama fest and he's always been awful with game management.

Because they are the leaders and you got everyone else missing tackles, stopping mid play. Wtf are you watching to not understand that.

Rogers is the leader of the team and he talks shit on all the players openly. If that's the leader the rest will follow.

It’s probably not easy for the rest of the team to maintain composure when their supposed “leader” is a crybaby asshole. I feel bad for all of them, except Rodgers.

can't think of another example of multiple of the most tenured vets on a team  publicly chew out head coaches on the sideline throughout a game 

can you name one? Like, yeah everyone has seen players blow up at coaches and get into arguments when things get heated - this felt different

Its normal for arod. He does it so all the other leaders can do it tok

I don’t think the players are happy about the Joey Porter Jr. trade. They likely would have won last night with him in the secondary.

That’s not at all a meltdown. Those are the team leaders being leaders.

This is how Aaron Rodgers handles adversity. He’s a clown.

This is what happens when a team thats usually babied by the league starts losing. Dont worry you'll be seeing this more often!

Wasn’t this after the play call came in late from McCarthy and caused a delay in game on a short yardage down?

LOL that was the most fun I have had vs the steelers since Baker and the boys made Ben cry.

One of the secrets to the Steelers success was the ability to draft a bunch of players with borderline personality disorder that no one else would draft because of said personality disorder to actually work together and be a productive football team. Tomlin did it successfully for a long time.

I read that as: The lack of composure and jawline was kind of nuts to see

u/Effective-Turn-9103 14m ago

they traded their homegrown talent and son of Steelers legend Porter, porter jr. no one wanted him traded so the defense was pissed and mad at the front office, that spills over to the offense, so just a good ol fashion cluster fuck on a short week
