How many years did Bill Cowher coach the Steelers before he won the Super Bowl?

Means nothing to us. Totally different situation. Different organization dealing with different PEOPLE. Who knows what the FO thinks of our the Head Coach if he doesn't pan out "behind the scenes". Our opinions don't mean anything in the actuality of the situation.

I still don't believe the bromide that we must make the playoffs this season or heads will roll. However, if Mike McCarthy persists in his bullheaded refusal to adapt his scheme to the personnel he has at his disposal -- more particularly, if we are consistently dominated throughout the season -- I can see him being let go at season's end. I don't believe the final record will be the deciding factor but rather how the team looks on the field. If they lose a lot of close ones but they're scrappy and spirited, I doubt it will cost him his job. If they look sloppy and are dominated by inferior teams as they were today, I can see him packing his bags.

I don't see any scenario short of a 2-14 season in which Ted Thompson is discharged, however.

Personally I think TT's job is safe as can be unless we have a Lions' type of season which is already out of reach. Mike McCarthy OTOH, I don't think has the same security.

All i have to say on that is......MM better chew some @$$ this week.
Get on these guys backs and ride them for the embarassment they were today.
They got manhandled by a lousy team. Let a lousy RB run over us.
If this had been against a GOOD team, i could accept it. But the BENGALS?
Unacceptable.

Geez, one loss to the Bengals and it's a fire Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy thread?

Losses to the Bungles engender that sort of anger. If they lose to Detroit, riots in the streets with mobs carrying pitchforks and torches.

The only jobs i see in jeopardy are blockers that can't block, WR's that can'y catch a damn ball, runners that can't gain a yard or turn the ball over, and D-linemen that can't stop a pedestrian runner like Cedric "Barry Sanders" Benson.
Coach and GM don't do those things.

Players don't decide the roster and supply depth on said roster, our gamble not to address the tackle spots on this roster are being exposed at the moment.. one do to under perfomance on the players part one to injury..

It is only one loss, but since the bullets began to fly for real.. our mild chinks in the armor have been exposed.

Offensive tackle and Safety.. twice today I see Rouse out of position in coverage one for a touch down to Coles were he got to shallow in coverage. I wonder if they regret cutting Smith?

You can find posts of mine from the last two season asking for a change to be made to the offensive line coaching staff.. this shit is getting pathetic.. and we will be treated to the fundamentals excuse yet again.

I am fundamental sick and tired of making that lame ass excuse.

Ted Thompson is and always will been the problem. The sooner he starts recognising our needs and delivering the sooner we start winning. Our O-line has been basic for a while now, but Thompson continues to make assumptions and continues to fail. The youngest team in the NFL AGAIN!, that equates to no experience and dumb mistakes. For once I'd love to say we'd brought in a big money F.A, but it won't happen with Ted. This team is in dire need of stability.... more f**king rookies is NOT the answer. McCarthy can only work with what he's given, and he's only given the bare minimum to work with.

I do not know about bromides, etc. All I know is what the Corps taught me and Vince hopefully taught you. Fuck a bunch of small-market...When we say we are holding a line...we are holding a motherf$cking line damnit..

All the rest is b.s.-- including all rationalization...

Dig in... for my Pukers...(I admit this is lame, it's all I got--not my fault that the world does not know what "dig in" really means)

I had to give a +1 for this it made me laugh lol. I might have to steal this for future use.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (4h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (8h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (8h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (9h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (9h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (9h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (9h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (9h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (9h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (9h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (9h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (9h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (10h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (10h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (10h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (10h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (12h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (12h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (12h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
