@PenguinsJesus The main problem is the goal of the front office isn't the playoffs. Other than the Egor trade all have been for the future.

I’m old enough to remember that we had a HoF, Stanley Cup winning goalie and supplanted him with a goalie who was good in the AHL but very little hype. And that guy was the anchor of two Stanley Cup winning teams, with the HoFer on the bench. But Murashov can’t come up now? Ok.

@DTonPirates I get Cruz has a lot of potential but having him at SS or CF just doesn't work. They are 2 important positions to have a bad defensive player.

Oneil Cruz catches two balls that should be caught and it’s 2-2 and Skenes is still in the game. “If’s and buts…” #Pirates down 5-2.

@JoshYohe_PGH Agreed. It is 1 inning in hopefully 200+ for the year.

@veltri_john He wasn’t himself but I wouldn’t overreact.

Obviously Skenes wasn’t good. But a swinging bunt single, a bloop single, two fly balls that the center fielder couldn’t catch and a guy sticking his arm into a pitch isn’t cause for concern. What is cause for concern is Cruz. Maybe my most disliked Pirate ever. Drives me insane.

@DKPghSports That happens when you have a bad SS playing CF.

RUNS: Oh, no, Oneil Cruz steps forward on a Brett Baty drive that was clearly headed over him. Bases cleared. Then, Marcus Semien doubles to left. Mets, 5-2 -- From Dejan Kovacevic in New York

@SteelersNetwork Boy was Sean Davis bad.

This was the beginning of one of the most frustrating games I’ve ever watched as a Steelers fan

@Alex_Kozora Guess they haven't learned a lesson from all the plus 30 guys they signed recently

Jamel Dean isn't 30 until October so #Steelers are getting younger. But that's still older than I'd like for a guy going into his 8th NFL season. Big and physical corner though that pairs will opposite Joey Porter Jr.

@PaulFox13 Any rain possible that day?

@SNParker_ Good. Hopefully both him and McCarthy are gone in a couple years

Steelers fans need to realize this may not have been an Art Rooney II hire. In fact, it’s much more likely that Omar Khan put a lot on the line and vouched for the hire of Mike McCarthy. This is on the GM.

@MarkMaddenX Since losing to the browns in 2020.

And now we’re gonna do the dance with Rodgers all off-season. This is boring& wearisome. The Steelers haven’t been fun for years.

@bepryor Will Pat be the next special teams coach and AJ the DC.

The Pat McAfee Show to Steelers pipeline is pretty strong, huh

@CarneyMedia And that is why they hired him. Assuming he gave them a hometown discount.

What I am more surprised by the #Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy is that they didn’t wait to have their 2nd interviews with Shula or Scheelhaase. I mean McCarthy wasn’t going anywhere else - his sights were set to Pittsburgh.

@JoshYohe_PGH It is concerning. I think it is money related maybe the NFL is getting too expensive for the Rooney's

I think Mike McCarthy is a good enough coach. But I sincerely don’t think they’d hire him if not for the fact that he’s from Pittsburgh. And that really bothers me.

@MikeDeFabo Unlikely. Also curious the average paid to OC, OL, and DC and where the steelrs rank on that list

Will be very interesting to see if the Steelers would let Schula/ Scheelhaase expand the staff. These jobs simply don’t exist in Pittsburgh. It’s just HC, coordinators and position coaches. PIT is interviewing a passing game coordinator for HC and don’t employ one…

@MichaelBeck56 What if McCarthy is the new coach

Tomlin stepping down has to mean Rodgers will not be back He may play again but he’s not playing in Pittsburgh

@Steelersdepot Gainwell, maybe Pierre or samuel

Here are the Steelers unrestricted free agents headed into the offseason. Which ones are you re-signing if possible? #Steelers #NFL

@FarabaughFB Because when they played a top tier DL they got bullied. LAC, cleveland, Houston.

I'll scream it from the rooftops here, the two biggest positives I think that came out of this year: 1. The OL is on the right track. 2. JPJ has solidified himself as a long-term piece

@TheStandard412 They are part of the problem, complain about money every other year. Get bullied every January.

They deserve more..... 😔😔😔😔😔 #NFL #Steelers

@PaulZeise Do we think Seattle knew that and that's why they didn't want to pay him?

DK Metcalf is a $30 million player who played most of this year like a $30 K player

@ChrisDokish This. I think they had losing season 3 out of 5 years. Drafted well to build the roster and then got Ben to go on their run. Not sure why AR2 and Tomlin fear having a few 6 win seasons

People act like they’ll die if the Steelers go 6-11, when in reality that’s exactly what NFL organizations need from time to time. They got Roethlisberger by going 6-10.
