    Diontae Johnson’s on-field frustration Sunday in Cleveland continued after the game in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ locker room, where he got into a heated argument with teammate Minkah Fitzpatrick before Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt broke up the altercation and delivered a message that the team needed to stick together, league sources told ESPN on Saturday.

    I think there comes a time in every players’ season where they start looking at their contract. Skill-position players often have incentive-laden contracts. As a receiver, you need your quarterback to not be total dogshit. Unfortunately, Diontae Johnson has a quarterback that is, in-fact, total dogshit, so he’s going to miss some of those incentives.

      Johnson’s play has hardly been flawless over the years. What if a Pittsburgh QB had thrown his hands up in disgust and talked shit on Twitter after one of the many instances a ball went through Johnson’s hands or he didn’t get his feet down trying to make a sideline catch?

      *Minkah has always been a beast. Dude didn’t want to waste another 5min of his talent on the shitshow that was Miami.

    Time to get those ping pong tables the fuck out of the locker room. This is serious week.

    I know this is a different Browns team than I’ve ever seen in my lifetime when we’re causing other teams to break down. Usually it’s a headline like:

    “Mohamed Massaquoi and Jake Delhomme got into a ‘heated’ argument following a 37-3 beatdown by the Steelers.”

    Everything about this team screams 4-13. And then you watch them play and they look like a 2-15 team. And then they end the season 10-7

      The Tomlin effect. He does not get the credit he deserves being able to manage and keep the team upright. It’s hilarious hearing Steeler fans wanting him fired, Tomlin would have 15 head coach offers before he left the parking lot.

        This is obviously going to get me downvoted and I genuinely love Tomlin, but what never gets discussed is that he has just as much responsibility as anyone for the team that looks like a 2-15 team. Yes, he pulls all his teams above .500 every year but also should hold some responsibility for never reaching that next level and constantly looking outmatched.

        There’s a ton of nuance that I don’t have time to dive into and I agree more than half the teams would be happy to have him but sometimes that doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s 100% perfect where he is at right now. But obviously the players love him and he brings stability to an org that loves stability so that goes a long way.

          never reaching that next level

          Oh my memory is probably wrong, that was coher in 08 and 10

          “There’s a ton of nuance I don’t have time to dive into”

          Like how you can Tomlin and the organization credit for stability but pretend there’s no correlation between long term stability and success?

          Of all the reasons to not like Tomlin

        Those fans are a disgrace.

        If they got their way, Pitt would have a new OC/HC every year that they don’t win a Super Bowl.

          But give those racists what they want! Be really cool to see them argue that Matt Canada didn’t get a fair shot.

        Trying 28.

        He would be on the first flight to any place in the league.

        I would 4 or 5 teams would trade their HC for the stability of Tomlin.

        Great coach but his glaring weakness is hiring assistants. His hiring decisions have been like 90% of the issue in the Steelers underperforming over the years.
