Summary

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, the Pittsburgh Steelers are probably going to finish the season above .500. Again. And if you believe in what you saw on the field in their 28-15 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football, you might think that the Steelers have a chance to win a postseason game for the first time in a long time. But Bill Barnwell and the Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed think that, long term, Pittsburgh is stuck in neutral, with no clear path towards improving. They also wonder if we’re entering the final days of Tua Tagovailoa’s tenure as the Dolphins franchise quarterback. 00:00 - Welcome to the Bill Barnwell Show 01:50 - Game Recap 3:19 - Are the Dolphins ready to move on from Tua? 10:00 - How do you handle Tua's contract? 16:00 - Is it time to move away from overpaying middle class QBs? 23:40 - Pittsburgh wins on Monday Night Football 27:00 - Can the Steelers avoid a 'one and done' postseason? 29:00 - What does a post-Rodgers, post-Tomlin future look like? 36:30 - What are Pittsburgh's chances to succeed in the playoffs?
