NFL Playoffs: Pittsburgh Steelers Eliminated - Should Aaron Rodgers Retire?

from The Best of the Sports Shop

Reese and Alex discuss Mike Tomlin's status and if Aaron Rodgers should retire. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ season ended in disappointment with a 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans in the AFC Wild Card round last night, continuing a troubling trend of postseason failures. Despite finishing 10-7 and winning the AFC North, Pittsburgh once again failed to advance in the playoffs, extending its playoff win drought to 2017. The loss has intensified scrutiny on head coach Mike Tomlin, as fans and media debate whether consistent regular-season success is enough without playoff wins. The quarterback situation is also uncertain, with Aaron Rodgers’ future in question. Overall, frustration is high among the fan base and the Steelers head into the offseason facing pressure to make meaningful changes, whether at QB, within the coaching staff, or in their overall roster-building approach to finally break out of their postseason slump. Should the Steelers move on from Mike Tomlin? Should Aaron Rodgers retire?
