@MySportsUpdate Monday night game in Pittsburgh. Like our chances. Tomlins Mondy Night record is mind blowing.

#Ravens K Tyler Loop missed the game-winning FG. UNREAL. Pittsburgh moves on. Baltimore is done.

@ramoneconley @packers_access No the play where Cam Heyward gets called for a bullshit roughing the passer lol

@packers_access Same refs that missed this lol

The Steelers get absolutely robbed on this pass interference no call. The defender never looks back and grabs the receivers arm before the ball arrives. How do you miss this call

@colin_dunlap Interesting because I thought I was alone. I have been getting less interested as the years go by. I have been a Steeler fan for over 40 years and have never witnessed this kind of lack of identity. I am losing my love for the team and my interest in dedicating my time to watchig

I’ll be 49 in a few weeks. Lifelong Pittsburgher. I have as little interest in the Steelers than I ever have. It’s boring at this point because if they don’t want to get better, why should I invest deep time and energy? They were once a passion; now it’s just something to watch.

@zimwhodey He can throw him out of the fcking stadium if he wants since he is still clearly in bounds

Why you all didn’t tell me this little dirty fuck was at it again?

@artknapp88 @MarkKaboly @PatMcAfeeShow Mike Tomlin living in his fears by squashing use of the middle of the field.

@MarkKaboly @PatMcAfeeShow Well, do you have the guts to ask some tough questions at the presser or are you scared of being banned?

Kaboly: Heading to the dark side after yet another head-scratching performance by the Steelers Mark Kaboly / Steelers Correspondent For The @PatMcAfeeShow CHICAGO — Nothing really jumps off the page differently from the Steelers at Soldier Field on Sunday afternoon that we haven’t been exposed to in the recent past, and, in reality, pretty much now pushing close to a decade. The Steelers dropped a 31-28 decision to the Chicago Bears to fall out of the playoff picture for the first time this season in a game where everything that we saw from the team a week ago against the Bengals up and vanished like a fart in the wind. It was gone. Nowhere to be found … probably until next week when the Steelers host one of the AFC favorites in the Buffalo Bills. That’s how this has been working, right? Regardless, Sunday’s loss to the Bears, with Chicago’s entire starting defense not playing – or at least it sure felt that way with five not even dressing because of injuries – hammered it home to me. I may have been the last holdout over this notion, but … the Steelers are a 9-8 team, at best. They are an average team that tends to frustrate the hell out of anybody who is vested in them, not because of a simple loss to a now 8-3 Bears team on the road by a field goal, but the way they go about it. The defense plays well, but the offense stinks. The offense plays well, but then the defense stinks. The defense shuts down teams like the Patriots, Colts, and Bengals, but gets railroaded by the Bengals, Chargers, and Bears. It’s just not game-to-game. It’s series-to-series (sometimes) and even play-to-play. What version of the Pittsburgh Steelers are you going to get? Good luck with that one. To me, that is the definition of average. The 2025 Pittsburgh Steelers are an inconsistent team, and inconsistent teams are, to me, teams that just aren’t very good. Not good but not bad. The Steelers just aren’t very good, even though everything on paper suggests they should be, and that’s pretty much not debatable at this point. “It’s frustrating,” linebacker Payton Wilson said. “We have been saying it for 12 weeks now, we have the talent. We see that one week and not the next week, right? The talent that we have and the caliber of players we have, we should be the best defense in the world, and sometimes we are and sometimes we aren’t.” That $170 million price tag on the defense makes them an easy target for criticism. T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward have 204 more combined sacks over their careers than playoff wins. But this is not a defense thing, an offense thing, or a coaching thing. This is an organizational thing, from top to bottom. Now, could this be an overreaction to yet another head-scratching performance by the Steelers? Typically, I would say yes. But not this time. Not this team. I’ve seen way too much Steelers football over my lifespan to say that they are what they are – average … with the opportunity to play really well from time to time, which makes you think ‘what if’ with this team. “I wish I had an answer for you,” said linebacker Nick Herbig, who recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown. “We have all the talent, we have good coaches, we have good players. We just have to win games. That is what the NFL is all about. Regardless of what happens during the week and who is playing or not, at the end of the day, we have to win.” Losing four of the last six has allowed the once 1-5 Baltimore Ravens to catch them before Thanksgiving, suggesting that the Steelers are going to have to win a lot more than they lose over the final six games to make the postseason. Right now, they are eighth in the AFC, which is just outside the playoff picture. “It sucks,” center Zach Frazier said. “We needed this one and didn’t get it. We have to work this week and get next week.” With games against Buffalo, Baltimore (twice), Detroit, and one at their house of horrors, Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland against the Browns, the playoffs are in jeopardy, for sure. “We have a lot of things that need to be fixed and fixed quickly,” Watt said. “We need to be playing our best football at this stretch of the season, and we need to get better and get better quickly.” I didn’t look, but didn’t Watt say that last year and the year before that and the year before that? But really, after how this team has played over the past two months, does anybody see that happening even if Rodgers returns next week against the Bears? The Steelers didn’t lose to the Bears because Rodgers was a shocking scratch and didn’t play. They lost because of critical errors at critical times – whether it was the playcalling, player performance, a terrible penalty, or the decision-makers. They all had a hand in it, and maybe why it has been so hard to fix. “We want to stack good performances, we want to get wins,” Heyward said. “Riding the roller coaster doesn’t mean just the ebbs and flows and adversity of the game. It comes down to wins and losses and stacking one on top of the other. Learning your lesson. It’s not like they just disappear after one game.” They might, and they have, but then they show up the following week. The Steelers have had suspect teams in the past, but nothing so unpredictable as this one. You truly never know what you are going to get when they step on the field. “For me, it goes back three weeks ago, riding that emotional wave,” Wilson said. “We have to smile in the face of it, regardless of what we are going through. We should be able to go out there and execute. We struggled with the sudden change, but we have to execute.” The Steelers got off to a fast start with Rudolph, and that was to be expected with the issues the Bears had on defense. Leading 21-14 late in the first half, the Bears got a field goal to make it 21-17 at the half. The Bears scored 24 points in just over a quarter and cruised from there. Caleb Williams struggled early but then got back on track to throw for 239 yards and three touchdowns. The run game was held under 100 yards, but the Steelers allowed the Bears to stay in the game with timely turnovers and what could go down as the worst tush push on record. “If we make a couple of plays in the end and win this game, we say we are moving forward and can learn from it,” Heyward said. “There is not a lot of time for mistakes now.” The defense has been the biggest culprit of this team’s woes. Sunday was the fifth time they allowed more than 30 points in a game, and the third time they lost a game where they scored at least 25 points. With names like Heyward, Watt, Herbig, Ramsey, Porter Jr., Queen, Benton, and Dugger, that shouldn’t happen. Tomlin tried to put a spin on the loss after the game, but there was no substance to his reasoning, probably because he’s just as baffled as everybody else. “Any number of plays could have changed the outcome of the game, and that's why we've just got to live every down singularly in all three phases knowing that,” Tomlin said. “And I think today was a very good illustration of that. I thought we could have had better field position with our kickoff team.” Oh yeah, Corliss Waitman’s not-so-timely bad kicks and Ben Skowronek’s holding call even tainted Danny Smith’s unit. To me, this team has too much talent from top to bottom to put up performances like we saw at Soldier Field, yet we see it basically every other week. What’s troublesome is that the Steelers thought they added the pieces on both sides of the ball to become a contender. Face it, we all did. So, these are the players they handpicked to win games, and it’s not working. And it’s not going to work. This team is an average football club, and that’s not opinion. I am sure you could point to recent years (maybe the past seven) and say the same thing, and you wouldn’t be wrong. But sometimes it takes 11 games of being told how good this team can be; 11 games of seeing no sense of consistency; and half of those games that they look closer to being mentioned alongside the Raiders than the Patriots makes everything crystal clear. Unless there is some kind of unleash hell in December moment around the bend, I’m out. I can’t sugarcoat this anymore: They aren’t good and they aren’t going to be good (even though there surely will be a good two or three games before it’s all said and done.) It happened – the Steelers wore me down into submission. USA TODAY PHOTO

@MrKCincy @RapSheet Cry some more. Clearly you have never played a sport. Someone spits on you that gives you the right to beat the shit out of them.

@RapSheet What’s Jalen’s punishment for late hits and head hunting?

Still suspended.

@ryangerritsen Pulled up in a pickup and a bunch of Mexicans jumped in the back 😂

How much of this story is real?

@CarneyMedia @mike_maric @PFF PFF is shit. Nobody reads it except for guys named Beaker Everyone else with a brain knows it's garbage

@mike_maric @PFF This post has zero to do with his past performance. This post was to highlight how @PFF grading shouldn’t be taken seriously especially when it comes to awards.

Someone make sense of this: Broderick Jones got a 51.3 overall grade & a 33.9 grade in pass protection… He gave up just one pressure. Myles Garrett who only had 2 tackles against the Steelers received a 77.5 overall grade with a 80.2 pass rush grade. @PFF is really showing their asses with these grades..

@3TProductions @GeneSteratore Got away from them.. Sarcasm I get it 😂

@GeneSteratore Yes, but the game was starting to get away from the Steelers so gotta give them a little help...lol.

Hits on punters/kickers are incredibly difficult to officiate. They were my least favorite plays to rule on when I reffed. My thoughts on the Roughing the Punter call in #Browns vs #Steelers.

@ccprez0703 @Steelersdepot We could always fall back on Tomlins record after a bye or record at home against the stains.

@Steelersdepot Didn’t all 10 pick the Steelers to beat the Seahawks?

Clean sweep of the Steelers over the Browns from the NFL dot com prediction crew in Week 6. #Steelers #NFL

Only 15 snaps played by Freiermuth!

@PittsburghSport That's total BS lol

The problem with the #Steelers is they are painfully predictable. They “do what they do” and the entire NFL knows what they do. In the past it took elite HOF level play from guys like Watt and Ben in their prime to lift the team up. But without that they are average. There’s little of keeping teams guessing. There’s no scheming last inadequacies. Everyone is supposed to play at an elite level and beat their man. There’s no allowance for the fact they aren’t elite in many areas. There’s no scheming for that. It’s just an expectation that every guy beats every opposing player. That’s it.

@PickensSZN1 @FarabaughFB Sure you said that about AROD too :)

@FarabaughFB Safety moving like a MLB lmao i see why he was cut

Jabrill Peppers in a Steelers uniform

@EricBrown4059 @_MLFootball Or you're just dumb

@_MLFootball What a puss bag. A real mafia fan wouldn’t apologize. He’s gotta be Canadian

TRENDING: “THE” #BILLS FAN WHO WAS HIT BY LAMAR JACKSON APOLOGIZES WITH HIS NECK BRACE ON. 💀💀💀 This is gold.

@goallind @Blitz_Burgh Precisely. He is going to be a load for O-lines

@CardanoHigh @Blitz_Burgh Absolutely he was. He didn’t move, even when double teamed. There’s a few clips out there where’s he’s the only one while the rest of the DLine is getting shoved 3-5 yards behind him.

Former Steeler Chris Hoke calls out Payton Wilson: “No-show by Payton Wilson in the tackles. You're an inside linebacker, you've got to be one of the top two or three guys in tackles in the game. Didn't see a lot of him. I think that's what he meant at halftime when Coach Tomlin was talking about guys getting on, getting off blocks, shedding blocks, making plays. He's one of those guys. He's got to look at the film and improve. I believe that he did not get off blocks enough and needs to make more plays for this Steelers defense.” #Steelers #NFL

@goallind @Blitz_Burgh I guess PFF is not a reliable source because if you watch the game Black was better then majority of the dl

@CardanoHigh @Blitz_Burgh For what, falling down backwards? There’s no way.
