  1. 1. What's a successful season? Sorting this by what would be an improvement over 2021 record.

    • 6-7 wins, no playoffs but team seems improved
      2
    • 8-9 wins, no playoffs, team is noticeably improved (I.E. Baker is promising)
      8
    • 8-9 wins, last wildcard
      24
    • 10+ wins, playoff berth
      20
    • Record schmecord, we need a playoff appearance and playoff win
      8

A winning season (lol) would be progress. Rhule Tax means another 5-or-less-win season is coming.

Rhule negates our winning potential by 2-3 games however it ultimately works out. Hopefully we have an interim head coach by week 5 and make a run for entertainment sake

Making the playoffs

You can clamor for a playoff win all you want but the same people demanding a playoff win also have the Panthers as a 6 win team.

You can't scream we want wins and make the playoffs and be mad that we made the playoffs and not win.

Baby steps....now do we make the playoffs? Thats another discussion.

So you want to make the playoffs but don’t mind if we get curb stomped and exit immediately? That sounds like acceptance of mediocrity and being content just looking good. Not my cup of tea. Especially in the NFL where there is parody and not this slow build process being alluded to. We looked better in their first year, last year regressed and underperformed. They need to outperform expectations. Simple as that.

Given what we preached about Rhule's track record of third year jumps,  I think 10+ wins and a playoff berth are necessary to be "successful."

Ideally a win in the playoffs to establish with complete certainty that we have had a monumental jump to being a success again.

Either less than 10 wins OR less than 1 playoff win have to be failures, IMO. If you want to keep selling further improvement and the future being bright, you have to show something more than 0-9 wins and no playoffs.

It only matters to Tepper, unfortunately.  The man does not like to be wrong so a floor of 9 wins (wildcard or not) is enough for Rhule to stick around another season.  It will be hard to Tepper to justify keeping Rhule if our record is only better by 2-3 games especially if the team stays relatively healthy.  The IR excuse has been leaned on heavily the past two seasons.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.

      Rodgers to Pittsburgh confirmed

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.
