The Pomp And Joe Show

This could be the year of Austin per Dom. What do you want to happen the rest of the way with the Steelers? The Steelers game plan was terrible. They should have run it up the middle more. The shots the team did take, did not make any sense. Tomlin said he had no issues with how Rodgers handled the last couple plays. A bunch of calls regarding the Cleveland game.

The full Pomp and Joe Show, with Bob Pompeani and Austin Bechtold (behind the glass), from Monday, December 29th, 2025

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani: The Steelers blew it. The Browns beat the Steelers 13-6 in an ugly game in Cleveland and the Steelers were outplayed. Aaron Rodgers played poorly and went back to MVS over and over again and didn't work AT ALL. Mike Tomlin said the Steelers played like they normally do against Myles Garrett.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani: Aaron Rodgers threw the ball to MVS three times on the final goal to go situation. Kenneth Gainwell was nonexistent in the offense and only touched the ball nine times. We don't understand why the Steelers don't utilize Pat Freiermuth more. Michigan hires Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham. Pitt loses to East Carolina in the Military Bowl.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani: Joe Starkey calls the show and takes back his Super Bowl pick for the Steelers. Joe thinks the Steelers thought too much about Garrett. Aaron Rodgers going to MVS that many times on the final drive was a very poor decision. Why did the Steelers throw a go ball to Scotty Miller on 4th and 1 instead of run the spartan play?

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani: Rob didn't think the Ravens would win in Green Bay to set up this scenario. Rob doesn't understand why taking Lamar Jackson out of the game is the reason why Derrick Henry has so many carries, thinking Henry should be getting tons of carries regardless. The Steelers and Ravens are both in major turmoil. Aaron Rodgers said he is confident the Steelers will beat the Ravens and go to the playoffs. Around the NFL.

Aaron Rodgers said he is confident the Steelers will beat the Ravens and go to the playoffs. Around the NFL. The Bengals crushed the Cardinals. If the draft was today the Steelers would pick 20th, again. Tampa Bay is falling apart. The Patriots crushed the New York Jets. The Seahawks beat the Panthers and could claim the No. 1 seed.

Rob didn't think the Ravens would win in Green Bay to set up this scenario. Rob doesn't understand why taking Lamar Jackson out of the game is the reason why Derrick Henry has so many carries, thinking Henry should be getting tons of carries regardless. There are some Ravens fans that want the Ravens to lose. If Lamar is cleared to play, Rob thinks he definitely should play.

Mike Tomlin had no problem with the Steelers targeting MVS three times. Aaron Rodgers made the wrong decision going at MVS compared to Kenneth Gainwell and Pat Freiermuth. Decisions, Decisions in the Steelers loss to Cleveland. Aaron Rodgers going to MVS that many times on the final drive was a very poor decision. Why did the Steelers throw a go ball to Scotty Miller on 4th and 1 instead of run the spartan play?

Joe Starkey calls the show and takes back his Super Bowl pick for the Steelers. Joe thinks the Steelers running away from Garrett on 3rd and 4 late in the game was the Steelers being scared of Garrett. Things could get ugly on Sunday.
