hyperbole. "jacking around" vs attention to detail as stated in the link/ quote. Shi&*y post.
Elliott said we jacked around in practice all week

And they had a team filled with Hall Of Fame players. The talent level is much closer in the NFL nowadays.
You need a really good or great qb and tactical brilliance from your OC,DC and HC. If you're running the same **** over and over,you're going fall short every time late in the season when teams have your stuff memorized.
Plus everyone has to be fully committed 100% to do whatever it takes.
Yea, they "lost" to a team with a 31st rated defense after coming in 3-0. It "happens" but it sure is more consistent with Tomlin running things, you can't even deny that. His clown show remains. Pathetic.
He said they "weren't locked in." Who would you blame that on if not the head coach?

Sadly Watt and Heyward have been here for years and Fitzpatrick for a bunch. None of them have stepped up to stop the nonsense. Watt says he likes to lead on the field. Ok. No locker room leaders apparentlyare available....so when one guy steps up......who has been a work horse on offense every year he has been here.....(Tomlin)meh.. just worry about playing RB.

It starts at the top. It is on Tomlin. I’m tired of they are grown men. Why have a head coach if it is up to the players. It is the head coach / manager in real life job, to set expectations and get the most out of the team. If it is ok to just show up that is what you are going to get. Sure some people are the exception, but you are always going to get a majority doing just enough to not get in the doghouse.

1. Head Coach and his coaching staff
2. Team Captains Russ, Heyward, Watt, Killebrew
3. Art Rooney for allowing this bullshit culture to foster for far too long.
Let it go men..,
It’s called a loss..everyone gets them..
Did yinz really believe Justin Fields was going to tie bradshaw and big Ben’s record of starting the season 4-0, with three of those wins on the road!
I surely didn’t …
Let’s bury the colts game and look like the team we know we can be on a nationally televised night game against … America’s team!
I want to hear the Yinzers with the classic Here we Go and Defense-Defense chants in the forth quarter Sunday night!

This has ZERO to do with that game.
This has EVERYTHING to do with every season players saying we aren't a serious operation. Tomlin's results put a stamp on that. The guy is Tubby Smith. Won a title right of the bat and then collected that check for years, had "decent" seasons and got nowhere until they finally said beat it. (They actually didn't even tell Tubby to beat it, they told him to get better assistants. Instead of doing that, he left in the middle of the night and took a huge step down to Minnesota where they let him hire his son).
I can just about guarantee that 80-90% of the time a NFL favored team lose. is because they did not have a good week of practice.
It is not regulated to just Coach Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers football club.

I just said it had nothing to do with one game. What part of that do you not understand and what part do you not understand about the trend of us getting nowhere and the trend of players saying we are lax?

They might be professionals and making millions but only a select few act like grown men, the rest act like spoiled little kids.
Other team gets paid to win too..
Themselves you idiot.
I can’t imagine old school players…the Otto Grahams, Jim Browns, Ray Nitchke, Dick Butkus’ Deacon Joneses , the Steel Curtain, and a thousand others from back in the day having to be held by the hand by coaches paid to be babysitters.
This is all Ben’s fault
And I don't disagree with any of that. But the "jacking" around argument is different, IMO. It implies that the coaches allowed these players to just mess around all week. It was hiddy ho time at the Steelers facility all week. I don't believe that. I think it is ridiculous and simplistic. Now as per your arguments, absolutely. But they are deeper, well thought out arguments that actually have some merit.

yep they sure do but a some of them don't get paid as much to win as our defense does. lol
My problem with this argument if you put it in context is this: Noll won 4 Super Bowls in 23 years. Cowher 1 in 15. That is 5 Super Bowls in 38 years. In those years they didn't win, did the coaches let the players "jack" around too much? In those years they didn't win, let's say the entire 1980s, did Noll ruin this "once-vaunted" franchise?
The problems with this team have nothing to do with letting them "jack" around. The real truth is they aren't anything special. So they are going to win games, but because they aren't anything special, they are going to lose some too. Tomlin should have answered with his job for them not being anything special, that we can agree on.
It isn't more consistent. I think in a different thread you were shown that isn't the case.
It is interesting to me where this disconnect is. All I can come up with is that I am old enough to remember a time when if I played poorly, it was my fault. I don't recall my parents ever saying the coach was wrong. But it is a different time now. For a good while, actually. It's always the coach if the kid isn't that good. It's never the kid. It seems to be so ingrained. So naturally, even in with the pros it's blame the coach.
You mean your coach didn’t put you in a position to succeed? What does that even mean?
What it meant when I played was when the coach gave you a good a s s chewing..

Tomlin and the Steelers defense prepared for Richardson, They got Joe Flacco, at this point Joe Flacco is Tom Brady compared to Anthony Richardson.
Taylor running through this defense and 19 yards on 13 carries against a defense that gave up 150+ to Mixon and Jacobs. Is just an embarrassment

It isn't. It's so early. Teams change and improve. Or get worse. If the Steelers improve offensively and begin to score 30+ points a game consistently, will it be an embarrassment to the teams they play because the Steelers looked rough early?

I don't know. In the early part of that game, it didn't look like they prepared for Richardson either.
