The continuing incompetence of Mike Tomlin

[steelhurt]

With the Bears missing five starters on defense three being the starting LBers the game plan should have been heavy run and heavy use of the TEs.
Exploit the middle of the field.
Jaylan Warren should have touched the ball at least 30 times or more but he had 18 touches.
TEs Washington, Muth, and Smith three targets each.
This is negligence on the part of the coaching staff to not exploit an opponent’s weakness with starters out.
Had they established the run and stayed with it all game, this could have easily been a win.
Use and use it often the jumbo package and run the ball right at these backups.
Use your TEs over the middle.
How can anyone possibly defend Tomlin and this ridiculous game plan.

Until Art II sees this or retires, nothing changes.
I find my garage more entertaining than what's being put on the field.

Warren 30 carries....lol. Are you crazy? Dude wasn't even on the field the last drive.

I know! That’s my point! He should have been used much more but for some reason, he’s not.

Warren 30 carries....lol. Are you crazy? Dude wasn't even on the field the last drive.

The last two plays of lackadaisical, no hurry up, showed the extent of urgency and not so smart football coaching.

Why not set the 3rd down to help the BOZ on a long FG to tie. BOZ has made a 60 yarder (could have been a 66 with his distance that DAY).

The odds of BOZ making a 63- 65 yard FG were greater than their 4 and 11 try for line of gain. Idiocracy to not have used the previous couple downs to set up the FG attempt. They were going for more than what the occasion demanded. Out coached again…….. by himself.




Salute the nation

 

[TDX27]

Agreed. Before the game, I said they should run the heavy package and throw to the TE's over the middle until they can stop it. They did run it well but nothing over the middle and no TE action until the 4th quarter. Doing this would have opened up the passing game as well.

The Rooney family is happy with mediocrity. But no undefeated seasons. God am I tired of the media preaching that.

This entire season for some reason. I guess Tomlin likes Gainwell in the high pressure situation.....him having that SB experience and all.

SB experience poor excuse. Darius Slay has SB experience and he’s not very good.
They signed Jaylen Warren to essentially replace Najee Harris. So use the guy and make him your bell cow back. Tomlin seems afraid to use Warren.
I just think if the plan was to go heavy with Warren and the TEs attacking the middle, they win.

Wait. No losing seasons? Huh?

Just so ya know the defense ranks 28th and the offense ranks 27th.
At least we’re a balanced football team. I didn’t say well balanced though.
Oh, did I mention the defense is the highest paid defense by 30 million.
It’s legendary alright. Highest paid ranked near the bottom.

 

[KentuckySteeler]

People are telling Steeler fans how great Tomlin is because they like us losing. He'd be here another 20 years if they had their way.

 

[SteelerFan448]

The offensive gameplan was malpractice against a team with that many injuries, but they stuck with what they know. The offense benefited a lot from turnovers this season and has been on the decline in recent weeks.

I've seen film reviews of the Steelers and the defensive play may be even worse. Just today on the one Bears TD, analysts are basically saying the Steelers' defensive alignment is something that shouldn't happen in the NFL. Tomlin was asked about the specific play in his PC today and dismissed it.

Tomlin and his staff are just out of touch with today's game. The head coach is too stubborn to change his ways even if ARII made him clean house with his staff. Great coaches adapt and adjust, it's why Nick Saban won so many titles. I will also continue to refer to Narduzzi, another dinosaur head coach across the hall from Tomlin, yet even he realized he needed to change his approach and hired a young, exciting OC and let him run the offense as he sees fit.

I’m just glad I took the grandkids to Busch Gardens for the Christmas town event!
It was awesome!
Coach Tomlin‘s Steelers do not take precedent over that… at any time

Tomlin will soon scapegoat Arthur Smith and steal the playsheet so he can meddle.

A typical Tomlin BS Day

I don't know why anyone is surprised, this has been going on since the last super bowl loss. **** they rarely show up to exploit a weakness, let alone adjust to one when it happens in game. The coaches are arrogant enough to believe they can just show up and impose their will.

Correct. This has been going on for 15 years.
I think most of us still have this sliver of hope something will magically change. That hope is based on teams long gone.

It isn't happening. It's a fairytale we're trying to believe in.


The longer they wait to move on from this HC and staff,the longer it will take to rebuild a championship culture.

[MTC]

I’m ready to move on from Tomlin. I started the season excited and was getting back into the Steelers.


Seeing the same ole’ trends for well over a decade creep back in has buried any remaining excitement

 

[SteelerFan448]

Cowherd is years behind Steelers fans. He's behind the local media as well. The national media are the only ones talking about the "no losing seasons."

This is why I started bitching my ***** years ago...mentioning Tomlin's short comings. I wasn't the only one. We got bashed. Some posters kept quiet while agreeing. Others jumped out openingly on the get rid of Tomlin bandwagon. More and more are doing it now. Liking negative posts on Tomlin. Many to this day complain about us saying the same old same old bitchfest that we have been saying.

Now we see the media saying the exact thing we have been saying for years. Maybe Tomlin is truly on the hot seat now. Now do I think he gets fired? Nope. Rooney will let him play out his contract probably. Both will go there own way afterwards. My take.....or I heard the Giants might give us a few #1s for Tomlin this offseason.
