If you thought Sunday's debacle vs the Cardinals was bad, this one was 10 times worse! I think this makes it 20 losses vs an NFL team with a win percentage below .200 for Mike Tomlin. I'm all aboard the FIRE MIKE TOMLIN TRAIN! There is not one coach, NO ONE on this roster who is worthy of keeping! We need a coach who is a disciplinarian and not someone who coddles players and lets them control the locker room! It's almost like your parents today vs your parents 30-40 years ago and those of us old enough know exactly what I mean by that statement! These players have no respect for Mike Tomlin and he doesn't command respect in that locker room and it's evident in the players performance week in, week out! They might say to the media they respect Coach T but you can see it in their effort that they don't respect the guy. They have no FEAR of Tomlin. Look at the effort today by George Pickens or should I say lack of it....where is the FEAR that he might be benched by Tomlin? There is no fear because Tomlin tolerates that type of behavior! I'd bench his *** for the rest of the season after his effort on the field tonight! It was absolutely pathetic! Tomlin is soft when it comes to game preperation and getting his teams ready to play. That was evident in 2010 all week leading up the Super Bowl 45 vs the Packers. Tomlin had families at the practices, music, and no pads while McCarthy had the Packers in pads and full contact days before leading up to the game. You saw the results of that when Green Bay jumped all over the Steelers 21-3 before the Steelers did much of anything! We keep seeing that in alot Steeler games throughout Tomlin's coaching career. He is a terrible coach when it comes to having his team preperared. These Two games we should have absolutely destroyed both opponents and we come out lackluster and unprepared for our last 2 opponents who were both 2-10 and New England has the worst scoring offense in the NFL averaging 12.2 PPG.
I'm really at a loss for words after this one......I had a feeling about this game all along knowing how Tomlin never gets his teams properly prepared vs sub par teams. As a Steelers fan I'm completely disgusted in the outcome of this game and even more angry at the fact that Tomlin stuck with Mitch Trubisky the entire game without giving Mason Rudolph a chance. If I can see that Mitch Trubisky can't move this offense and is not the guy certainly Mike Tomlin and the Steelers coaching staff must see it....and they stick with him.....I'm SMH in disbelief. There needs to be changes up and down the entire coaching staff starting with Mike Tomlin right on down.....Give me that Offensive Coordinator from the Houston Texans Bobby Slowik. We couldn't convert 4th & less than 1 yd last week what made Tomlin think we could convert 4th & 2 tonight? Down 2 scores he should have taken the FG there.
Defensively I only know one thing....Teryl Austin needs to be given his walking papers! We can't keep that guy!
I'm so pissed off and heated watching this game it's going to take me several hours before I can calm down and get to bed and I have to work in the morning.....****!!!
In closing the only place this team is going down the stretch here is to the off-season.....right now at 7-6 I think I can pretty much guarantee Tomlin's first losing season as Head Coach!
Per Tomlin's Post Game: He never gave consideration to benching Trubisky and putting Mason Rudolph in the game.....Gotta love hearing that statement from Tomlin!
Alex Highsmith - Neck Injury not able to return
Game Balls:
NONE - for the 2nd week in a row......not one ******* player is worthy
Game Goats:
Mitch Trubisky - The guy should never start another NFL game......NEVER! I don't ever remember a QB I hated more watching on the Steelers. I'd rather have Cliff Stoudt back there! The last play of the 3rd Quarter a 3rd down play where Trubisky scrambled for 7yd to the Pats 9 yd line setting up a 4th & 2. He had Freirmuth & Pickens both wide open in the endzone for an easy TD. Rewatch that play but make sure you have a alcoholic beverage on standby....that was hard to watch!
George Pickens - Tomlin needs to bench this piece of garbage after his lack of effort tonight! These players don't even FEAR their Head Coach. Tomlin has lost Respect in the locker room!
Mike Tomlin - Another week vs a sub par opponent and another complete *** kicking vs a team you should destroy! Way to get them prepared Coach T. BTW Congrats Tomlin the only Head Coach of a team over .500 to lose back to back games to 2 teams that were at least 8 games under .500. A NEW RECORD!
OC & play calling - I don't know if it's Faulkner or Sullivan here but what was there 3 or 4 reverses tonight and WTF called that pass play at the Goal Line when your first and goal from the 1 YD line. 4th & 2 with the game on the line and you call a go route deep down the left sideline from one of the least accurate QB's in the NFL when you only need about 15 yards to get into FG range for Boswell to tie the game and send it into OT. GET THE FIRST DOWN! KEEP THE DRIVE GOING!
FU's:
Teryl Austin - lack of adjustments in the first half vs the worst scoring offense in the NFL giving way to a 21-3 deficit midway through the 2nd Quarter. Austin has gotta go! Zappe had 3 TD's in 22 minutes played.
FU to the Official who called Christian Kuntz for a False Start on that punt! Should have been offsides Defense and a Steelers First Down!
