Yeah no doubt another Tomlin nut hugger. Lol

He’s a lot like you, let’s call you guys Tomlin Nut Hugger Light-which is anyone who gives cover to him after 9 years of playoff futility and looks down their nose at people fed up with him, cool gif tho…you really showed me with that

 

[DesertSteel]

Thanks for clarifying on what you mean by hater, you were painting with pretty broad brush when you throw out “hater” buy that’s what Tomlin nut huggers do when they don’t have a real defense for him

That depends, how good of an artist are you? What does 9 years of playoff futility look like in pictures…now I’m curious

It's not a pretty picture? Lol

That pretty much proves that I did.

Everyone here is just as aware and frustrated about the years of playoff futility as you are.

But that doesn’t make those that don’t fall in line with your speculations, theories and accusations “Tomlin nut huggers.”

I am not angered by your opinions, rather I find them entertaining and to be taken with a grain of salt.
I expect you people playing the “nut hugger” card to have the same attitude toward those that try to take a more rational approach

Again, my take on Tomlin is that whatever he is doing isn’t working.
Eighteen years at the helm is enough and it’s time for a change.

Kind of like how I find your arrogant gifs entertaining in the place of a retort…so cool

I can sum up your “more rational approach” to be yeah we just got embarrassed again but you all you haters can’t criticize Tomlin for this minute aspect of it. Or I know you just got pissed on again but don’t claim the piss stunk, that’s not fair! It smacks of arrogance and all it does is give a failed coach cover.

I hope your gifs and 10 cent wit have entertained and comforted you thru these past 9 of playoff futility, there’s a really good chance that’s going to half to sustain you much longer so enjoy yourself

I’m waiting for your “rational approach” to analyzing that game.

Hey @diver tell us how sometimes players need to make plays to defend that putrid offense ALL NIGHT, including 0 points in the 2nd half

What is your “narrative” from this game???

You two should half to watch that game on a loop twice with your eyelids taped open before you post any more Tomlin apologies again

They haven't only lost, but have been basically blown out in seven straight playoff games.

Not sure how Tomlin can somehow be competent enough to never have a losing season, yet appear overwhelmed in every playoff appearance over the past decade.

Because he played against the bungles and browns. That was generally 3 to 4 wins a year. Pick up 4 to 5 games out of the next 13 and there is a non losing season

I don't believe they've won in Cleveland since Ben retired.

They lost in both Cleveland and Cincinnati this year and still won 10 games.

Tomlin has to have been partaking in some sort of voodoo **** behind the scenes to ensure these winning seasons.

The mojo just seems to wear off around the middle of January for some reason.

Not specifically talking about this year. Over Tomlin’s career. That is why he never had a losing season. Our division was incredibly weak with 2 sub par teams with the bengals and browns.

Yep he benefited from having two horrible teams in the same division.

Fair enough, though the Bengals had been decent for many of those years under Marvin Lewis.

I'd argue that Ben was the daddy of the Browns and Bengals during most of Tomlin's time as coach, not Tomlin.

The post-Ben era reflects that.

Ben was elite . Even with that elite talent they only accomplished something significant with Cowher’s blueprint. As that faded so did everything else.

It's because they are playing better teams in January. I think one of the reasons they have the never a losing season and playoff futility history is partly the type of players they fill the team with. Veterans who were once very good who are on the downside of their careers. They are still good enough to beat most middling to bad teams, but when up against quality teams, especially with great defences, they are outschemed and out-physicaled.
