Too much QB uncertainty in Minnesota for me to assume we've seen the end.
Aaron Rodgers, and I'll just leave it at that.
Ooh.
...
Without the offseason flirtation.
Oh, drag that one in there.
... Wind this past year.
His history repeats itself.
Uh, a little bit of that, so I won't fully eulogize Aaron Rodgers until he's that he's done.
And, yeah.
... Like, Week 1, maybe even, like, Week 4 of next season.
And...
I don't know.
Uh, I've got a lot of thoughts about the Steelers.
But the reality here is they've been outscored in their last 4 playoff losses.
131 to 58.
And, and I'll- Oh.
Like I said, this game was close at one point.
But the floodgates absolutely opened up, and that was a deserved floodgates open.
The Texas.
Yeah.
... Defense can absolutely do, uh, they can absolutely do that to you.
And I honestly feel like...
I'm not a fan of any team.
I don't ride or die for any team at this point in my life anymore.
But if I were a Steelers fan, I really would wonder, like, how I would feel about this season, because on the one hand, I think there have been some fun moments with Rodgers and.
And this whole operation that maybe you could say, like, All right, that was in... And Week 18 was, was a, It was a really fun football game.
There were a couple.
Like, especially primetime big games, both the Ravens.
Yeah.
... Games with Rodgers.
Like, that was fun.
But you're here once again.
You've gotten waxed in the Wild Card round, just like you've done the last four.
You know, I saw My Sports Update tweet that the last time the Steelers won a When Barack Obama was president, you never want to have the, This guy was president.
The presidential term is one.
... Associated with the last time.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, if the President tweets, you don't want that.
That's not what you want, because that means it's been a long time, if we're talking about previous presidential administrations.
We had Pearl Harbor talk last night.
Are we talking this?
So, at least it hasn't been that long, but, uh, it still...
It's just... You come to, like, did it, was, did any of this matter?
Like, how was this, was this a completely pointless?
Right.
...
Season for Pittsburgh to ultimately do so many different things, really lean into some of the Rodgers of it all.
Some of the frustrations that we've talked about?
You know, the Metcalf trade, which I hated at the time, And I, it just continues to age poorly, in my opinion, because he's aAgree.
...
Terrible fit with Rodgers for all reasons.
We've talked about.
Like, did any of this matter?
Like, you did all this to ultimately get back to the same place?
And once again, we're talking about Mike Tomlin's job.
Does he want to go to TV?
Does... Is this...
It...
I really wonder how I'd feel about this whole season if I were a Pittsburgh fan.
