Steelers fans counting days since the last playoff win while drafting Tomlin's eulogy in real time.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Rodgers getting tackled in his own end zone for a safety on the opening script, then throwing a deep pick to R.Mickens before halftime — that's the whole afternoon, and C.Boswell shanking a 45-yarder wide right only underlined it. The fanbase isn't debating personnel anymore; they're counting days since the last playoff win and watching other franchises move on from coaches while Pittsburgh keeps insisting the formula still works.
