“That sucked. To be blunt,” the coach said.

"Tomlin sucked. To be blunt," a fan added.
"Yes it did, Mike. Way to ruin Christmas for the rest of us," a fan wrote.
The Steelers still have clinched a playoff spot, but Pittsburgh now seems unlikely to win the division.
"He sucks, to be blunt. The Hard Knocks show outed him as little more than a motivational speaker, which we always guessed but now know for sure," a fan wrote.
"When is the last time he won a playoff game? Last I checked every other divisional team has won a game since he has last…," a fan added.
The Steelers will close the 2024 NFL regular season at home against the Cincinnati Bengals.
"4th and 2, 18 points down and you punt?? Ugg," a fan wrote.
"So does your coaching buddy. Stop with the corny speeches and actually prep these guys during the week," a fan added.
Steelers still confident in group
Despite Pittsburgh being on a three-game losing streak, the team still has confidence in the group.
Star pass rusher Cameron Heyward says the team hasn't played well as of late but can beat anyone. They still have confidence in the group going into the playoffs.
"The last three weeks we played like s---," Heyward said, via ESPN. "Simple as that. I own that. Every player's got [to own that]. Can't squander opportunities, whether it's turnovers, whether it's getting off the field, whether it's scoring touchdowns, it's a multitude of things, and it has reared its big head.
"My confidence is never going to lack in the group. It's just from an execution standpoint, it's just dumbfounding. We have to get it done on those plays. We sit up in meetings, we take it out to the field. That means nothing if you don't do it in the game."
The Steelers will look to snap its losing streak before the playoffs against the Bengals. Pittsburgh is currently holding onto a Wild Card spot.
