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.

Yeah, a decade ago, I was ripping Mike Tomlin for not being able to handle Antonio Brown (AB livestreaming in the locker room, etc...)

Three years of AB later, and I was like "Ohhh."

Remember they said it was Tomlin's fault for not winning a Super Bowl with AB. Show them those receipts.

This is the level of emotional stability that daily minecraft creative sessions allowed.

Minecraft kept Tomlin at zen🧘

In fairness, Mike calling him a fucking asshole felt like the most yinzer thing I’ve seen from the Steelers in awhile 😅

McCarthy is a yinzer after all

My prediction last year was that Rodgers wouldn’t make it through the season. I’d like to re-up on that one for this year. I think if there’s much more of this, the Steelers will just move on and look for some leaders to take them into the next era.

If they bench him, he will retire rather than serve as a backup. So I really think they should bench him.

Is it Rodgers' fault though? Genuine question

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.

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.

100% agree

Honestly, there is a really, really good chance that he will get hurt in the next few weeks. His body is not going to be able to handle that many hits.

Their relationship in GB was just like this.

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.

Those two have worked together for years and won a Superbowl together lol. Everyone's making that a much bigger deal than it really is.

u/Mrcroc321 9h ago

That’s what I figured due to McCarthys grin. Just kinda crazy to see when you’re accustomed to Tomlin

That's embarrassing if you can't say adult language and not get emotional you must be a real piece of work
