This game is on Tomlin!!!

[Coach]

Boys Santa is watching. Games like this really bring out the worst in some of us. We need to all stop acting like a Bengals bitchy *** fans. Can’t we all just get along or just all rag on Coach!

SteelerInLebanon, Rag on me,for what point out the obvious that Tomlin sucks. Dozens here agree,

Amigo, this team is in a tail spin, we are lucky we beat Jacksonville,otherwise we would have lost three in a row with New Englandnext. As it stands now, we are barley ahead of the Ravens whopare playing a rookie non-passing QB.

Tomlin remains a problem. I didn't really all the factualnegative stuff on the last game posted here. Was that stupid redflag challenge discussed? Way to burn a time out, which he mighthave needed.

Blah blah blah. Jeez thin skinned. Just trying to lighten things up Francis! I get sick of the constant Tomlin vs Ben angry rants. They both have faults they both have pluses and Tomiln isn’t going anywhere. Ben not till he wants too. I don’t see the point in getting so angry at each other.

It is much more fun just to pick on you in a benign non nasty way.

or Artie Burnt Toast couldn't keep up with a 73 y.o. TE. Probably one of my fav plays from last night.

I'm mad we lost, but man, this made me laugh!

bro, sometimes it's just easier to laugh at it then to get upset. The comedy aspect is gold.

Eh, the challenge I didn’t think was all that bad, especially considering the call came from the official behind the whole play. Imagine that; a guy who has no clear-cut view of the play is the one who’s call stood, but the ******* line judge who’s only job is to watch the lines for things such as, oh I don’t know, false starts doesn’t see a single one. That game was completely ****** before the Steelers decided not to bother unfucking it, and shoving it down their throats.

Tell me again who the ravens are beating that's all that impressive? Pull the panties out of your ****.

I could probably post in every thread on here today and I am sure its been written 12000 times on here since last night but

Tomlin bought in and was involved in the defensive plan and the challenge was lol bad
I like Fort but seriously tell me another team with a defensive scheme that is lets let an LB cover the other teams #1

Tomlin IMO needs to do the following
1) Fire Butler and take over full control of the D
2) Cut Burns
3) Hate to say it but bring in other Kickers for a look
4) I dont know what kind of overall team motivational act he can do but geez for the love of god - DO SOMETHING

 

[RollRed]

I said this years ago and I’ll say it again.... I think Tomlin is too chummy with his players. I think they see him as just one of the guys in the locker room and not as a boss to whom they have to be accountable.

You want the soft moron who lacks and X and O acumen to take over the defense , LMFAO

 

[AggieSteel]

Rivers did stand in and take some hits and deliver some nice throws.

But again.. not sure I can overstate this.. it’s a lot easier to do that when your best WR is open 5 yards in front of your face because he ran a quick hitting little option route into the open space in the zone because the LINEBACKER matched up to him couldn’t run with him and everyone in the building (especially Philip Rivers) could see the wide open space developing.. but hey ya know

You’ve said a lot of things years ago, got schooled time after time, reiterated your BS opinion as factual and got schooled again, by several current board members. And yet you still think you know more than everyone. Never realizing that you will always be identified as the clown who said Polamalu’s head is too big to be successful. To this day you still haven’t admitted you were wrong then or will admit to it now. So please....spare us with your proclamations of “expertise” and “knowledge”.

You tell me Coach; you too Slash, of which I have no problems with, where have I been an apologist to Bell or Tomlin. I follow the old school philosophy, that coaches coach, players play. It’s the coaches job to formulate an action plan and instruct the players how to implement it in their play. It’s the players job to prepare mentally and physically to execute the plan itself. I follow the Lombardi Method. Whereas I’ll give you my playbook, and I’ll still beat you because of our team’s execution will still be greater than your advantage given.

I make no excuses for the coaching staff when they don’t prepare themselves or make adjustments to help the players execute. MT and staff all have their pros and cons. No doubt there is a stubbornness to his methods. Cowher had the same faults, Chaz as well to an extent.

I want to win a championship just like everyone here, except you Coach. You would rather flame Tomlin to lose another playoff game or SB to peacock “I predicted it!” and make yourself seem more clever than the rest of us. Just keep being the board clown. That’s what you are best at.

An apologist to Le’Veon? You freaking out of your mind moron. The moment he didn’t sign the offer on July 15th, I was willing to give him the benefit of his convictions. When he didn’t show for game one, I could have cared less what he did, as he changed his position and cause several times. When Conner, showed he could replicate Bell’s numbers, I wanted the FO not to blink against he and his agent. The FO did what the CBA allowed and negotiated in good faith. He or the agent had a problem with it, they should have blamed the NFLPA.

My argument with you was your complete and total lack of understanding about Bell’s tag situation. You were told by a cast of thousands about your incessant rant....trade him before the draft!, after the draft!, before the start of the season!, during the season through the trade deadline!, THAT YOU COULDN’T TRADE AN UNSIGNED PLAYER. All the while blaming Tomlin for letting it happen, when he has no control over contract negotiations. To this day you still don’t understand the CBA and probably never will.

Tomlin is to blame. Butler came up with a gameplan of using LBs to cover Keenan Allen and Tomlin was OK with it. The after getting torched multiple times, Tomlin allowed it to continue.

It has to make you wonder about the dynamics of the coaches. Are they just not very good as a whole where nobody spoke up all week and thought this was a bad plan? Or does Tomlin or Butler not allow dissenting opinions?

We saw that happen on Hard Knocks. Haley and QB coach Freddie Kitchens questioned some things in a meeting and Hue Jackson essentially told them to shut their mouths because he's the HC.

Is that the situation we have in Pittsburgh?

A confident leader welcomes all suggestions. He is only interested in winning and will not hesitate to use any idea that he thinks is better than his own. He does not care about credit.

A weak leader rejects suggestions. He is not confident in his position so he sees those around him as threats to take his job. He will reject any idea that is counter to his own even if he thinks that idea may actually be better. His chief concern is that nobody beneath him outshine him.

They better be open to all ideas now. Here's one. Cheat off your neighbor's paper. How about you put AB in the slot and see how other teams cover him. I'm guessing it won't be with a LB.

[bmoritz]

Guys, guys, guys, you just don't get it. Antdrewjosh is so much better of a fan than you are, you can't comprehend his genius. LOL
I went round and round with this dude a few years ago about this EXACT same thing. To him, Tomlin is like God. He's absolutely perfect, and does nothing wrong. If there's a loss, no matter what, it has NOTHING to do with Tomlin, and is 100% Ben's fault. The funny thing is, he doesn't believe Tomlin should be held responsible for ANYTHING:

Motivating players? NOPE, these guys are millionaires, they shouldn't need motivated.
Preparing for game day? NOPE, the players are professionals, they should have themselves prepared.
Play calling? NOPE, that's why we have coordinators, DUH!
In-game/halftime adjustments? NOPE, if these damn players would simply play above the line, to their pedigree, there wouldn't be a problem. Mike's "plan" if flawless!
Personnel decisions? NOPE, Mike has ZERO say in personnel, that is 100% on Colbert.....and Ben.
Game clock management? NOPE, what the hell is that?

Mike Tomlin, by the sheer power of his intellect and amazing awesomeness is enough to will any team to a championship. He shouldn't have to do the things listed above for these players. They should simply bask in his glory and win. If they don't, it's because Ben ****** up.

Here's a game scenario: Ben goes 39-40, 500 yards, 6 TDs. His one incompletion was admittedly a bad pass that missed a wide open Antonio Brown at the Steelers 40. Tomlin, in his amazing greatness, refused to run the ball more than 5 times, put Hargrave exclusive on the opponent's best WR in man-to-man coverage the entire game, started Artie Burns on the other side because of his "pedigree", doesn't call for a single blitz all game because "that's what the other team expects", and uses all three timeouts in the first 3 minutes of the second half. The Steelers lose the game 45-42, and according the Antdrewjosh, they lost because Ben missed that throw. After all, great QBs make that play. Tomlin was perfect and put the team in a position to win, but Ben ****** it up.

Haden was equally on Allen as the linebackers, so it wasn't like the linebackers were on him exclusively. The Steelers need an Ike Taylor replacement, someone who can take the best receiving threat
out of the game and let the others play 10 on 10. The announcers made a point of how often Watt drops in coverage, but you rarely see him make a play in coverage. Not sure if that is because he always has his man
covered or what. Maybe he should be tried in the middle on passing downs.

I really have a hard time pinning this on Butler, we saw this same defense with Timmons before Butler was the DC, but he is the DC.
Like I said in the game thread, late in the game, on one of our offensive possessions you could see Tomlin and Butler having a discussion and Tomlin had his hands out like "I don't know"

Allen should have been doubled all game. Haden should have been on him then have someone shadow underneath. Crossing routes are tough to cover man to man .

 

[Punxsutawney]

Haden was equally on Allen as the linebackers, so it wasn't like the linebackers were on him exclusively.

Not exclusively, but most of his catches came with the closest defender being a non-CB.

Tomlin and Butler totally **** the bed. They had a great plan to negate Julio Jones earlier in the season, but somehow thought having LBs covering Keenan Allen was the way to go.

 

[DBS1970]

The players need to remember there are 4 quarters in the game. If the coaches can’t grasp that the players must.
