This just in: Khalil Mack is pretty good.
Hope Chucky is feeling good about his decision making.
I was watching NFL Network last night, and they were talking about Gruden saying they needed to figure out the pass rush. In the background, they had a big screen with a picture of Mack on it. One of the anchors quietly drew a circle around Mack, then arrows pointing at Mack, then a frowny face and a Raiders logo.

The Bears defense was pretty good last night, but Big Mack is a freak of nature. He's living up to the cost so far.
Seems like Antonio Brown is in the middle of a temper tantrum.

I watched some of that game and there was a quick clip of him yelling at someone on the sidelines but I didn't catch what it was all about.
Maybe sick of JuJu getting all his targets?
He was yelling at the OC.
There was an article I saw the other day, where Emanuel Sanders said it was tough being the #2 WR in Pittsburgh because Brown wants to be targeted all the time. I wonder how much truth there is to it?
Is it me or do the Steelers seem to be imploding this year?
Tough to be that consistently good year after year. They were due for a down year.

Seems like Cleveland will go on being Cleveland for a while. Hue Jackson didn't know his K had a groin injury, even though Gonzalez had an MRI on it.

Mike Tomlin has GOT to go.. he has lost control.
I think we need more to go on than two bad weeks. The guy is 124-67-1, and it isn't his fault that the Steelers have a fractured relationship with LeVeon Bell, or that the drafts haven't exactly delivered stellar performers over the last couple of seasons.
Something like this could be the head coach losing the locker room, regardless of his record. Remember when Doug Collins kept getting the Bulls this close to the finals year after year, with an excellent overall record? Then he was replaced with Phil Jackson and BAM, finals, finals finals.
It absolutely could be that Tomlin has lost the locker room, at the same time I believe two games is too small of a sample size to go on. And the Doug Collins situation really isn't the same as Tomlin has a ring with the Steelers.
Oh yeah, not identical situations. But the Bulls are a good example of firing a head coach with a good/great record in favor of someone who can get them over the hump. I don't know if Collins ever lost the locker room, it was a long time ago.
And maybe not having "lost the locker room", but Tomlin seems like he'd be a yeller, so maybe guys have started tuning him out (if there's a difference there).
I rewatched the first half of the Chiefs-Steelers game last night on NFL Network. The Steelers don't look like they've quit on Tomlin. They were down 21-0, then came back to tie the game 21-21 right before the half, and lost 42-37. Roethlisberger is still one of the very best QB's in the game.
I believe they don't have the talent on defense to run with high octane offenses like the Chiefs. That, and the LeVeon Bell situation, fall more on the front office than the coaching staff.

Fired up? No. Mildly interested? Yeah. Probably get a good game out of it.

Hmm...
Too bad they didn't have one available...
