Down by 14 points.......Ravens just get the ball back with around 6 plus minutes left. After a first down run by the Ravens I thought we would start using our TOs. Of course we didn't force a 3 and out but don't you at that point have to assume we will or hope we will? Tomlin started calling the TO's inside of 2 minutes after the Raven's were in FG range. In the end it didn't matter. Raven's simply ran the clock out.
Rocking the boat and you might lose access to the team.
As long as fans continue to buy merch and tickets sale. Nothing will change.
Wow....that is a disgrace.
My fandom took a serious hit when Shades got a 3 year extension in the off-season. I've said the Steelers were no longer must-see TV for me although I've watched every game. Mrs. Burgundy is the one who DVR's NASCAR in favor of watching Steeler games live but we might flip that script next season.
Yes. All true but a basic level you knew that HE knew there was no confidence or hope from anyone on the field to say, yeah go for it coach, we’ll get it.
Ask too many tough questions and your press pass is revoked so you don't ask any more tough questions.
Agreed. You still have to call the TO's at that point. And if you didn't as Tomlin...why start calling them later?
True, but you'll notice the over$ea$ game$ are never home game$ for the good team$.
We still could put out a "real" competitive team. Other teams do. Why not us? Why settle for what the Rooney family have settled for?
I was thinking more about our lack of playoff success of late(last decade).....but yeah......18 straight non-losing seasons. Yay!!!
KP sports daily......stated that James Harrison started screaming at the D coaches about our OLBers crashing down on the RBs play after play. When were they going to make an adjustment? This was in the 3rd quarter. Watt stated that players do what the coaches tell them to do. Some on here say players make plays....but the coaches have to put the players in position to make plays. Coaches need to game plan and make adjustments during the game. Tomlin has stated that they don't let other teams dictate what he chooses to do or not to do. And I believe him.
If this current streak isn’t enough to fire him, going under .500 for a season isn’t going to do it.
I am torn on this. They played bad but frankly they may have looked at what the offense was not doing in the first half and lost all hope. They look demoralized. They seem to life at least briefly with some offense. The d line is too old and I don’t even mean Cam. He is ageless but Adams and Larry O are worn out and done late in the season. We need youth on the line to sustain late in the season. After QB and WR it is the top need. If we can address all three in free agency and the draft it will help the coaching regardless of who is in charge.
With a playoff loss next season he would be tied with Marty for the all time record of 7 in a row.....the good part about that is if that happens most likely we finished with a non-losing season.
You keep shifting the blame on the Offense. Our D gives up long sustained drives. Part of the bend but don't break scheme. They themselves keep themselves on the field. Our D rarely gets 3 and outs. I am not saying our D plays without heart. Watching Watt Heyward Roberts Elliot etc out there busting their ***'s off play after play.....they were all heart. If they were demoralized by anything it was the position the coaches kept putting them in on each play. Watt Highsmith crashed down on the RB on every play. Jackson kept it and scampered off for big gains. At what point do you change that? Make an adjustment. Why was there no one there to take Jackson afterwards? Coaches failed this D last nite. Not the offense.
