Agree with the first sentence, not the second. Hoecht had a good game and was average prior to being here. Oliver popped then vanished.

Censere (pronounced Sincere) Lee, from Pitt.

I'd like a new coach, but a new GM may be more of a need. We simply have no talent, but how much of the talent acquisition is Bean acting on behalf of McD? I think a coach like Kubiak or Shula would be great here. The hiring of intro coordinators during Allen's SB window is a bit perplexing.

Number 3 on the list is interesting. Why are Ford and Settle both productive before and after their times here? It's like a mystery of the DL. Secondary players do better (at least for a while) when we bring them in. Overall, I agree. We paid too many of the wrong guys, basically overpaying good but not great players at the expense of nabbing 1-2 more great players. You need more great/elite guys to win a SB with a bunch of above-average guys and some JAGs.

I hope you're right. But I'm not sure drastically changing things up is part of the stubborn process. Ideally we come out with our normal D, and if that does not work, have a plan B like you described to unleash.

dude is killing my fantasy team. Starting Brissett over him this week, which likely ensures Lamar accounts for 4+ TDs.

um, Slay did say no. Retirement is his only leverage.

it does. But it was widely reported in Pittsburgh papers that Slay wanted to start and that was why he was released. Not sure how Bean missed that.

the 2nd guy it sounds like. The highlighted part does not appear to even say what the first poster claims it says.

Roster is horrendous. Hard pass. CB Pierre as depth perhaps. Watt vanishes in playoff games and is always hurt. Hayward is overrated/washed, Metcalf is not great. ok. He’d be a good target.

I moved from get rid of McD and keep Bean to either get rid of whole FO or at least Bean.

Small ball Bean. It was reported in Pittsburgh that Slay wanted to be a starter and asked to be released. Was Bean unaware of what was in the freaking papers here!

I'll take the Steelers or Bengals, I'd rather the Texans over the Ravens. Those guys could turn it on any minute. Lamar is getting heathier, and a healthy Lamar and Henry is big trouble for us.

This is true, but Tomlin, as you have stated, has gone stale. This happens all the time in the NHL, and I think it's happening in NFL locker rooms more where guys just tune-out a HC. Interestingly, Rodgers said that practice was "poor" the week leading up to the Bills game. Whose job is that, the HC. interesting mention with the Eagles. They fired a SB winning coach, then won another SB. With the Steelers (perhaps Bills) mindset, Pederson would still be coaching the Eagles. Actually, Reid would still be coaching (but would he have won there?). This is totally bonkers. Who wanted Pickett. Answer: Tomlin. Who wanted Rodgers: Tomlin. Who loves the overpaid vets on D. Answer again: Tomlin. Who won only 1 SB with Big Ben in his prime with a stud team: answer again.....Tomlin. Tomlin demands total control, which is rediculous. The Steelers need a total reset (Tomlin likely does as well).

If we lose Ingram and Slay just retires that's a hit. Hopefully Slay is saying he wants to play for Philly or Det, and we can get a 5th or something for him and Ingram back. I wonder if Philly grabs Ingram now to see if we trade straight up.
