We'll see how the season progresses, but if the Steelers start putting their stars on IR for likely turf toe and weak sprains, then the Steeler fans can cheer for losses to finally get a decent QB.....but I'm not sure it would cost Tomlin his job.
No, they are obsessed with their completely non-consequential string of non-losing seasons. They are tied with DAL for the longest at 21 - one more and the record is all theirs.
They do not and will not tank (and finishing in the bottom 3-5 is an entirely different level of tanking). They easily could have hoped to see what Howard has later in the year letting Rudolph run things for half the season. But they've been believing they're just a QB away for the last 5 years. I can promise you they really believed Wilson could get them to the SB last year.
