This is a TOTAL stretch. If I had to bet money, the 2021 Steeler season in going to end bad, most likely not making the postseason. BUT, in 1989, the Bengals defeated us by the exact same score, the Steelers went 1-5 in the division, and somehow we made the playoffs winning a game and almost a second. Again, a total stretch, but just a thought-you never know.

I like the optimism and historical context of this post, but Noll (even past his prime) vs. Tomlin is a mismatch. That said, Noll had Bubby Brister and Tomlin has a future first-ballot Hall of Famer, soooo... ![]() IMO, the biggest arguments against a late-season rally are:

We may beat the Browns and the Vikings. That's all I see.

Back then we had a full fledged defense...Troy, Foot, Porter and a supporting cast. And Offense, Hines ward, Randel El, The Bus I can go on. Its great thought. But > the players we have now
Don't have any idea what the Steeler way is. They'd rather play music at Practice and Make Tic / Tok Videos. This is a Virus Not called Covid. But > Tomlinism. He's let the Steeler way be the Player way. |
