Especially after he had said the previous week that if you can't pick up 4th and 1 you don't deserve to win.The two instances of Tomlin game mismanagement which stuck out to me the most:
1) Not going for it on 4th-and-2...inches. You have to move the chains and keep your offense on the field. And more importantly, keep the Ravens' offense off of it. There was no thought, no consideration, even. The punt team was on its way out there almost immediately. They literally needed TWO INCHES. The white flag was waved; the game was essentially over at that moment.
2) Calling a timeout with the Ravens running the ball and the clock moving with 1:08 left in the first half. They are on their own 17, 3rd-and-3. They are basically saying they are content with going into halftime up 14-0. Given the complete domination at that point, why would you allow Baltimore the opportunity to convert yet another 3rd down, and give them enough time to march down the field and score the knockout punch? As poorly as the Steelers had played, Tomlin should have been ecstatic to go into halftime trailing by just two scores.
It is just a never-ending parade of ineptitude. A sad game to watch, but not a surprise.
The stains have the Watson contract, the Steelers have the Tomlin contract, the Bungles have the Burrows contract and the Rats have the Jackson contract.Rooney sealed the teams fate with the contract extension last year. We are stuck with Tomlin. Looking at it now ot looks like a real bad deal. But Rooney is a business man.
Tomlin is making $17M/yr, blissfully unaware that he is the Emperor with No Clothes.So Dulac said Tomlin's extension was 3 years for $50 million. Nearly $17 million a year to no adjust your approach year after year is pretty steep and also a price that is going to make the next few years pretty rough for a long-time coach. I think he'll start to get the Matt Canada treatment next year during games every time something goes bad.
This is on fakebook, being reported as put up on Mt. Washington. Is this real?? It looks too perfect. Has to be fake.

They just took the IC sign down. I think the billboard up there is pretty tacky and they should just the entire sign down.According to the story, that billboard was always reserved for IC beer, so I doubt it’s real…unless it’s all IC can stand and it can’t stands no more!
fakeThe billboard looks real but the print looks too clean.
But who knows.
It is possible to have both of those problems at the same time.You don’t have a Tomlin problem. You have a Rooney problem. That family has become far too wealthy and complacent.
Why would Tomlin ever willingly leave one of the most lucrative protected jobs in the history of professional sports? He is able to pocket 16 million dollars a year, without any threat of losing said job, due to his repeatedly displayed ineptitude.The Rooneys shouldn’t move on from Mike … Mike should move on from the Rooneys.
Exaclty, he's the 5th highest paid coach in North American sports, and has zero accountability and seems like zero expectations, why would he want to leave LOL.It is possible to have both of those problems at the same time.
