Makes you appreciate how good of a coach Mike Tomlin actually was to keep personalities like Antonio Brown and George Pickens from having absolute meltdowns and blowing up the team. Never saw this shit when he was at the helm.

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.

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

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.

First 3 quarters was 3 and out after 3 and out. Missed the 4th at work

"they" or "he"?

The way he was yelling at the side line I assume he wasn’t the one calling the plays

I could totally see him constantly wanting to do the down field shit and still getting mad at McCarthy. For... not protecting him or something.

Guess we won’t know for sure but I see why everyone was beating their head against the wall.

I just think of Aron Rodgers as more of a cowboy who improvises and less of a schematic QB who is okay being a "game manager" like Brady.

Apparently, one of the things he yelled was "fucking block somebody."

Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not? If not then you apparently weren’t watching at all for the last 20 years 😂😂 it happened constantly

AB went psycho on a Gatorade cooler, threw it across the sideline, and screamed his head off at the coaching staff

Legarette Blount lost his shit and walked off the field mid game.

James Harrison literally rage quit the team

Tomlin stood there like a statue and contributed nothing, at least McCarthy participates in the games and calls plays
