The AFC was such a massive joke this year. Seahawks or Rams will win the SB easily IMO

Don't underestimate how a bad hire can flip that on it's head.

IMO, this was a mutual parting of ways because he likely would have been canned otherwise.

Also, I am willing to bet his media job lasts until a good HC opportunity presents itself.

My point is they are not going to make a bad hire, in all likelihood. Evero may or may not be a serious candidate for them. Like it or not, many teams interview certain coaches to check the rooney rule box. But if he is a serious candidate and they do hire him it means there's something there we probably don't see. I HATE Evero's scheme and playcalling decisions, but that doesn't mean he couldn't be a good/great HC. They are ultimately 2 different jobs, especially if as HC he let his DC call the plays.

Maybe you're right about Tomlin but I don't get that vibe personally. I doubt they'd have fired him this year, maybe he saw writing on the wall for the following year but based on comments from Steelers ownership I think they were happy with him having them competitive every year, even with the playoff losing. I mean all Tomlin really needed to break through in the playoffs IMO was a QB. Harbaugh got fired (mutual*) because they couldn't break through again despite having a probably future HoF QB and multiple time MVP. 

I think Tomlin wanted a break and a change himself. I think he'll go back to coaching in a year or 2, but isn't waiting for the right opportunity just actually wants a break and a less stressful media job for now to kinda reset. Also wonder if he was getting frustrated at how the Steelers' FO kept approaching the QB position recently.

I would love to see him go destroy the Steelers and make them look foolish for firing Mike Tomlin.

Steelers are a stable organization and I don't think any coach they choose to hire will "destroy them." Also Tomlin stepped down for a media job, didn't get fired.

Glad to have seen him wear a Panthers jersey.

Is it at the start of the season or league year(March)? I am not 100% clear reading the language.

 

Not sure but either way it's still pretty low risk/just delaying the decision on him a year

The 5th year option is guaranteed for injury only, so unless he gets hurt he can still be released/traded with no cap implications. Not really that much risk there. But barring a true breakout year next year, if Bryce is starting for us in his 5th year I will be extremely disappointed with this team. His limitations are just way too significant to overcome in the NFL.

If this front office signs him to a long term extension I'm fuging done with this team until Tepper and his band of morons are gone. That would absolutely sink us.

Coen doing what Canales should’ve done and calling timeouts.

Love the kid, can’t speak highly enough about him and his game, saw a breakout like this coming pretty earlier last year. Victor Cruz 2.0

How good was Coker… holy poo 

Main silver lining here, kid is legit. With consistently good QB play and Tet taking defenses attention away, a healthy Coker could put up 12-1300 yards next year. Will be awfully tough to do though if Bryce is back and plays the same as he has up to this point in his career, which sadly seems very likely

Going to Jimmy fuging Horn on a 4th down with the season on the line. Ok then

Canales and Eviro absolutely blew this game for us. You have to fuging call timeouts when they’re moving the ball at will at the end there. We have 3 still and they are all fuging useless and meaningless. We should’ve used them on D to stop the clock in case they scored like they did and to give the D time to reset and rest vs the hurry up.

We’re cooked, can’t waste that much time on any play

Bryce man, jesus

As much as you all love to poo on him here, Horn not being on the field that drive killed us

38 seconds and 3 timeouts for a FG to tie

Call a timeout Dave you moron

We’re gonna have to start calling timeouts in case they score and we need a FG to tie

I hate this fuging prevent D

Lame prevent D

I think its a difference between hate and doubt. I have never hated bryce just doubted how good he could be, but he has been GREAT today. 

Yeah I’ll give him credit, a few bad plays but overall incredible today

That was a dime!

Are you a certified bonafide Cokehead yet?

I recall a certain someone thinking in camp that Hunter Renfrow could knock him out of the lineup/roster…. (all in good fun man)

I’m buying a Coker jersey my fuging god how good is this kid

DO NOT TURN IT OVER ALL I GOT TO SAY

Yep, even if we score then allow a TD to lose so be it, but turning the ball over here would fuging kill me

Incredible play call there, nice execution from Bryce and the rookie
