It is time for the Steelers to move on from Mike Tomlin

I do think that it probably is time to move on to something different... There is a point though, where it feels like the message is getting lost and there isn't growth... Sometimes the message gets lost and you have to change something. You have to shake something up because it's actually almost like a curse to have Mike Tomlin as your coach still, because you're never bad enough to pick at the top of the draft to get a franchise quarterback.

Tomlin returned for the 2025 season, making this take technically incorrect regarding the immediate future.

The Houston Texans' defense won them the Wild Card game against the Chargers

That Texans defense, holy shit, did they bring it on Saturday? They were so goddamn good. And not only were they so good, I thought that game was decided by the fact that the Chargers came out like basically a perfect start... if the Texans defense doesn't play their balls off to start the game... that game could look totally different.

The Texans beat the Chargers 32-12, largely on the back of defensive dominance and forcing turnovers.

The Chargers' offense over-relied on Lad McConkey

I think the Chargers ran into an acute case of building their entire offense out of Lad McConkey. Lad McConkey had 197 yards. The other wide receivers had 45... They just couldn't do anything that wasn't Lad McConkey.

Verified by the box score; McConkey was indeed the vast majority of the Chargers' passing production.

I'm buying all the Justin Herbert stock right now

I'll say this right now, and this isn't me defending Justin Herbert because he was terrible on Saturday. I will buy all the Justin Herbert stock right now... If you think that he's just like a terrible quarterback, that's fine. I still think he's pretty good.

Herbert is widely considered a top talent despite the poor playoff showing.
