Najee Harris Quickly Deletes Post Taking Shot At Ben Roethlisberger Over His Latest Comments (PIC)
January 12, 2022by
This is not what Steelers fans needed to see just days before their team is likely to play the final game in Ben Roethlisberger’s career. After defeating Cleveland on Jan. 3 to dash the Browns‘ playoff hopes and defeating the Ravens on Sunday to secure a playoff berth, Roethlisberger and the Steelers (9-7-1) have a tough matchup against the Chiefs.
Roethlisberger, who many believe will retire when the 2021 season is complete, had a concerning quote with reporters on Wednesday on Pittsburgh’s chances of making a playoff run heading into its wild-card matchup.
“We probably aren’t supposed to be here,” Roethlisberger said. “We probably are not a very good football team. Out of 14 teams that are in, we’re probably at number 14. We’re double-digit underdogs in the playoffs. So let’s just go plan and have fun and see what happens.
“…We’re probably 20-point underdogs and we’re going to No. 1 team… that’s won the AFC the last two years. Arguably the best team in football. We don’t have a chance so let’s just go in and have fun.”
One person who couldn’t believe what he said was Najee Harris. He took to his Instagram story and caleld out his own QB for what he said. He made sure to quickly delete it, but screenshots last forever.
Pittsburgh’s last playoff win came against Kansas City, when the Steelers defeated the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in the 2016 AFC Divisional round.
Ben told no lies, Najee.
Yes the Steelers are not the best team going into the playoffs but if they are going to win the Steelers COLLECTIVELY are going to need Najee's We are going to win...with no room for doubt state of.mindBen told no lies, Najee.
i never understood the “not handing Marshawn the ball” line people to try and discredit that Patriots SuperBowl win, foootball is a chess game, Pete Carroll gambled on the Patriots focusing on the run so he called a pass play and lost, it happens all the time in the NFL. Gostkowski and Vinateri need the offense to get the ball in range for them to make those kicks so I never understood that one either. You say JBoo put up similar numbers but did putting up those numbers come with wins, the answer is no so it means nothing. It’s laughable to hear the if Rodgers was on Brady’s team he would do this and that because Rodgers has been on good teams of his own and couldn’t get them there but one time

Source: Houston Texans fire coach David Culley after just one season
HOUSTON -- The Texans have fired head coach David Culley, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
On Sunday, after the Texans completed a 4-13 season, Culley said he expected to return for a second season. However, the Texans' ownership and front office took the past few days to evaluate the coach and decided to fire him on Thursday.
ADVERTISEMENT
The firing comes one year after the Texans hired Culley, a longtime assistant, who became the oldest first-time NFL head coach at age 65. Culley, hired in January 2021 by team CEO and chairman Cal McNair and general manager Nick Caserio, was the lone Black coach hired last offseason and was one of three Black coaches in the NFL. Culley's firing leaves the Pittsburgh Steelers' Mike Tomlin as the NFL's only current Black head coach.
Before being hired in Houston, Culley spent two seasons as the Baltimore Ravens' assistant head coach, passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. Culley spent 43 years as an assistant in college football and the NFL.
In Culley's first season as a head coach, the Texans won the same number of games as they did the previous season under interim coach Romeo Crennel. Culley did it with a depleted roster and team that has had just one first-round pick in the last four years.
Houston was without quarterback Deshaun Watson, who requested a trade in January after the McNair family hired Caserio. Less than two months later, the first of 23 lawsuits were filed against Watson alleging sexual assault and inappropriate behavior. Watson, who still faces 22 active lawsuits, reported to training camp and was on the active roster all season. The quarterback was a healthy scratch for each game.
The 2021 Texans were also without defensive end J.J. Watt, who requested to be released after the 2020 season and now plays for the Arizona Cardinals.
This season, the Texans dominated the Jacksonville Jaguars in the season opener before losing veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor in Week 2 with a left hamstring injury. He was replaced by 2021 third-round pick Davis Mills, who went 0-6 in his six starts while Taylor was on injured reserve.
After Taylor struggled in his return from injured reserve, he was benched for Mills, who beat the Jaguars and Los Angeles Chargers in consecutive weeks.
Houston's offense ranked 31st in Football Outsiders' DVOA under Culley and offensive coordinator Tim Kelly.

Indianapolis Colts GM Chris Ballard won't fully commit to Carson Wentz as starting QB for 2022
INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts general manager Chris Ballard is not ready to fully commit to quarterback Carson Wentz as his starter for the 2022 season.
Ballard made those comments during his season-ending news conference just days after the Colts didn't make the playoffs and Wentz played two of his worst games to end the season. Ballard's comments are eye-raising considering the Colts gave up first- and third-round picks in the upcoming draft to acquire Wentz from the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason.
"When we made the decision, after Philip [Rivers] retired and we made the decision to make a move on Carson, at the time of the decision we felt good about it and I still don't regret the decision at the time," Ballard said Thursday. "Sitting here today, just so y'all know, I won't make a comment on who is going to be here next year and who is not going to be here next year. That's not fair to any player."
"I'd like to quit Band-Aiding it," Ballard said. "I'd like for Carson to be the long-term answer or find somebody who will be here for the next 10-12 years. Sometimes it doesn't work out that way. I can dream about it, wish about it, do everything I can to figure out the solution, but you do the best with what you can do at the time."
The goal was for head coach Frank Reich to get Wentz back to playing the way he did when the two were together in Philadelphia when Reich was the quarterback's offensive coordinator in 2017.
There was some good from Wentz this season, but the bad, unfortunately for the Colts, outweighed it. It was clear that they were a run-first team with running back Jonathan Taylor, who the led the NFL in rushing, but they also expected Wentz to be able to make plays when teams loaded up the box to stop the run. That didn't always happen.
Wentz only completed 59% of his passes, threw just two touchdown passes and had two turnovers in the final two games of the regular season when the Colts only needed to win one to make the playoffs. Wentz, who continued his risk-taking ways, threw for at least 200 yards in only two of the final eight games of the season. In the upset loss to the Jaguars in the season finale, Wentz posted a career-low 4.4 Total QBR.
"Make the layups. Make the layups. Make the layups," Ballard said. "Carson wants to win. He has a will to win. Sometimes when you carry the burden where you think you have to make a big play all the time. Sometimes let the team help you, make the layups, make the layups."
The Colts have some core pieces on the roster in Taylor, linebacker Darius Leonard and the majority of the offensive line. But the possibility of making the playoffs and making a run in the postseason will continue to remain slim until they figure out who the answer is at quarterback.
"At the end of the day, I think we have a lot of really good players and really good pieces," Ballard said. "You have to get stability at the quarterback position. That position has to play up to his potential to help the team win. I'm not blaming this all on Carson. I'm not because everybody else has to do their job, too.
"But the hyperimportance of that position, it's real. You have to get consistency there. The years we've gotten it we've been pretty good, and we thought we had it until the end of the season. Something we have to continue to work through."

And then there was one.They fired culley?!?
We knew it was going to happen, McNair didn't want to appear racist and they brought him hear thinking that was going to keep Deshaun (before all of the BS came out) Quite honestly, if I'm a black player for the Texans, Im asking for a trade or to be released..
