Hello, boomer. Hey, good morning, guys. So what controversy can we talk about this morning? Take your pick. I don't know. You want to talk about Coach Tomlin and him already saying that they can win it all and they can beat the Patriots? That sounds like a good place to start. Okay, yes. Patriots twice. They said they're going to already meet twice. He's calling for that and sounding very confident last night. And you wonder why that

team's crazy? And you wonder why, you know, every week there's something that comes out of Pittsburgh?

I mean, I can't remember the last time a coach actually went out and said what Coach Tomlin said.

Now, is it really a big deal? Does it matter? Is it going to have any impact on the field?

Probably not. but most coaches

are buttoned up to the point where they're respectful to their opponents. And I'm sure in some way,

shape, or form he probably thinks he was being respectful to Coach Belichick and the New England

Patriots. But to put the cart before the horse, so to speak, and talk about a week 15

matchup and potentially another matchup in the playoffs seems a little bit ridiculous to me, considering that the NFL goes week to week and things change quite rapidly.

You look at his record, he's always talked about kind of as a middle of the road coach, but then when you look at his record, it's outstanding.

Where do you fall on Tomlin and his quality of coaching? You know, I like Coach Tomlin. I love his press conferences during the week. I mean, he always comes up with different phrases and words. And it's a little bit crazy himself. And I remember last year, somewhere around this time, I think Ben

Rathesberger actually said, you know, we got to tighten it up around here, kind of taking a shot

across his bow. And that's why this interview with Tony Dungey is a little bit shocking to me,

because they were down this road again last year. I mean, they were a good team last year.

They were obviously no match for the Patriots in the playoffs.

And I think that they don't really match up great with the Patriots,

especially when you spread them all out and Tom is playing the way that he's playing.

He's putting on a clinic through the passing game the last three weeks, especially.

And it's not going to get any better for the, I believe, for the Pittsburgh Steelers when they face them in week 15. But I can't even believe that I'm talking about that because it really shouldn't have anything to do with what's happening next week or the week thereafter. But Tom was a good coach, and what he said in that interview is really shocking to me. Yeah, what do you make of, because on paper, obviously, the two teams have the same record. But, I mean, they almost lost the cults the other day. The Steelers did. And then last night, you know, Brett Hunley almost carved him up. Do you make anything out of, I mean, is this kind of a paper tiger, if you will? Are they, is their record better than they actually are? No, I don't think they're a paper.

Tiger.

I just think that they're a really good football team that has really good football players,

but at times are very individualistic.
