January 13, 2025 -

Season 15, Episode 78 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right back to discussing Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike Tomlin on the heels of the team being eliminated from the playoffs by the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night.

We talk about the reports beginning to surface since Saturday night concerning the Steelers planning on sticking with Tomlin as the team's head coach. We discuss how that's not shocking. We also discuss whether this could now be the beginning of the end for Tomlin in Pittsburgh.

Will the Steelers make any changes to their coaching staff this offseason? Alex and I go over the coaches who could be out in the coming weeks and why.

Should the Steelers consider changing a few long-standing precedents that they in place? Alex and I go over a short list of those precedents that I came up with.

Moving past talking more about Tomlin, Alex and I go over the list of Steelers players that are scheduled to become free agents this coming offseason. We go through the list player by player. Alex and I also discuss several players currently under contract for the 2025 season that might have their deals terminated by the start of the new league year in March.

What are some of the biggest needs the Steelers have heading into draft season? Alex and I wonder if another defensive lineman might possibly be in play in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. We also quickly pass along the news that the Steelers are now scheduled to select 21st in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft as of Sunday night.

Later in this show, Alex finally get to several of the emails that listeners have sent to us since the Steelers loss to the Ravens.

This 127-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap.

The Terrible Podcast — Talking Steelers Vs. Ravens Wild Card Game Loss, Annual Mike Tomlin Discourse & More Jan 12, 2025

Show notes

January 12, 2025 -

Season 15, Episode 77 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Sunday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Saturday night AFC Wild Card game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens that resulted in the former being eliminated from the playoffs.

Alex and I discuss the transactions the Steelers made prior to Saturdays game and how the inactive list ultimately played out and why.

Alex and I do not go deep into our analysis of the Saturday loss as the all-22 tape has yet to surface. The loss, however, is not hard to dissect just at the surface level based only on the live viewing.

With the Steelers being one-and-done again in the playoffs, the annual early offseason discourse when it comes to HC Mike Tomlin must be addressed by us. Alex and I have a long conservation about whether the Steelers should highly consider moving on from Tomlin and possibly reshaping the front office as well.

We talk a lot about the culture of the Steelers under Tomlin, the organization’s way of going about business and more. We discuss where we both thought the Steelers 2024 season would look like back in September and how close it came to our predictions.

Did the Steelers actually overachieve in 2024? Alex and I discuss that topic. Assuming Tomlin and GM Omar Khan remain employed, and there’s no reason to think otherwise, what changes should be made to the coaching staff? We address that topic.

The Steelers must address their quarterback situation early in the offseason before doing anything else and Alex and I address that topic. We also talk about whether we think the Steelers will spend heavily on defense during the offseason.

This Sunday episode of the podcast is one huge gripe session overall as we get ready to move on into standard offseason mode. We fail to address any questions from listeners in this show but plan on hitting several during the Monday episode.

Season 15, Episode 76 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex and Kozora and I get right into discussing the upcoming Saturday night AFC Wild Card game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens.

The Steelers Thursday injury report is reviewed early in this show, so Alex and I discuss that and the team's decision to waive WR Scotty Miller ahead of their playoff game. We discuss why Miller was likely waived and what it likely means when it comes to the Saturday night pregame inactive list.

The Ravens will be without WR Zay Flowers Saturday night, so we discuss the magnitude of Baltimore not having him against the Steelers.

The Steelers will have a few tough decisions when it comes to their Saturday night inactive list and especially the final two spots. We discuss a few possibilities.

Will and should QB Justin Fields see some playing time on Saturday night against the Ravens? What about CB Cory Trice Jr. and WR Mike Williams as well? Alex and I address the possibility of such happening for those three players during this show.

We go over the pressure that Steelers HC Mike Tomlin has on him to beat the Ravens on Saturday night. We also discuss the pressure on Ravens QB Lamar Jackson ahead of this playoff game.

Alex and I get deep into breaking down and previewing the Steelers Wild Card game against the Ravens and that’s easy to do on the heels of the two teams already having played twice during the regular season. We discuss both of the teams on offense and defense and what the Steelers likely must do Saturday night to win in Baltimore and advance in the playoffs.

Will Saturday night's game be the last one for several soon-to-be unrestricted free agents on the Steelers? We go over the lengthy list of players that discussion applies to.

Later in this show, Alex and I make our picks against the spread for the Wild Card round of the playoffs. We also predict the final score of the Steelers playoff game against the Ravens,

This 96-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners.
