Why Does No One Mention the Fact That We've Won Zero Playoff Games in 3 Seasons After a Super Bowl Trip?

To me this is the most striking statistic I've seen in this post 2015 era. Pretty much all 3 seasons have been failures. We managed to have a winning record in 2017 but that doesn't mean jack squat when you get 3x swept to a divisional opponent and lose in the first wild card game.

Well, that type of stuff is going to happen with bewildering moves by management, a terrible handcuff of a contract that has reverberating negative effects that transcend seasons, incomplete lines, backups in your receiving corps, and injuries in general, not to mention injuries to your franchise QB's throwing shoulder. I mean, it's not a mystery that we haven't won a postseason game. In the same vein, franchise history hasn't been kind to us to have successive winning seasons, so if you look at the cycle (especially in conjunction with the aforementioned), we were not really "on schedule" to win anything at least two of the last three years.

I think every one of us realizes this which is why 90% of the fan base wanted and expected Rivera and Hurney to be fired.

I believe Tepper is a smart guy so he obviously knows this as well. Unfortunately, building a new practice facility is more important to him than building a winning franchise.

Oh and don’t say but he’s a Steelers guy and they don’t overreact and fire their coaches. The Steelers have had 1 losing season in like the past 10 years. If that was the case for the Panthers I’d have no problem giving Ron and Hurney another chance.

It seems to me like Tepper some how still doesn’t know who he wants his GM to be so he doesn’t feel like paying two coaches. This results in lame duck seasons which is what we are currently staring at.

We went 15-1 and went to the Super Bowl and proceeded to have one of the worst offseasons in history which ultimately led to a disastrous 6-10 season. Rivera risked the future of our franchise QB to save his job and some how it worked.

If Dave and Ron would have been fired after 2016 like they should have been we probably aren’t in this current shitty situation.

I’m willing to believe this but I certainly have yet to see evidence of it.  The converse, in fact.

The NFL’s history is full of owners who are/were “smart” businessmen but are/were utter failures as football-men.

I mean, those two things aren't mutually exclusive. Seeing them practice in a fkn ballroom is just silly.

Could be true of Tepper but at this point we simply don’t know and people don’t like that...they want to know and want to know now, regardless of evidence. History and religion teaches us the unknown is man’s biggest fear, naturally terrifies people to the point of war and denile. 

Unfortunately, that isn’t how the process works, it takes time to know and understand where this franchise is going and we will all just have to wait and see.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
