Week 17 - Pack @ Vikes Support Group

Hang the banner! Oh wait.

Yeah I don't know why this is celebrated, the Steelers have a Marvin Lewis situation on their hands. Tomlin has basically gone 9-8 in 5 of the last 6 seasons and people think it's an accomplishment lol. The 12-4 season was even fraudulent. Jumping out to an 11-0 start before losing 5 of the last 6. The guy hasn't done anything since winning a Super Bowl with Bill Cowhers roster, and he wasted Big Bens entire career.

Well it was 41-3 when it mattered, then Mullens came in and threw 2 garbage TD's to Nailor, the only time Nailor has ever done anything. But yeah wow, what a way to bookend 2023. with 20+ point blowouts.

Lets not pretend that Kirk is suddenly some winning QB lol. He's very much lost games like this himself. The season finale in 2018 against the Bears at home, win and get in, was an absolute dud. Then in the 2019 penultimate game at home against Green Bay in prime time, with a chance to win the division, another absolute dud. Both at home. He's only had 2 decent games this year, where we scored only 23 and 24 points. Those are his "MVP" games.

Not only did they let up, but Love missed a few wide open TD's early. It could've easily been 30-3 or 33-3 at half.

That might be the obvious thing for him to say, but I really don't want to hear that from my QB. You need an alpha at QB. Mullens was a bit dorky thinking he deserved to start, but that's the attitude you need. Hall does strike me as a bit of a beta. He's a little reserved and the lights are too bright for him. Not good signs. His arm is weak and he's still pretty slow at getting through his progressions, and I don't know how much of that is on KOC, but it's not a good sign when your rookie QB doesn't look any better than he did in preseason.
