Worst coached team in the league

[bmoritz]

No more damn excuses for Tomlin! I'm sick of this jackass. He's ruined the Pittsburgh Steelers!

 

[Coryea]

The blame starts and ends with Tomlin, not really hard to figure that out.

To me, Colbert lost his Midas touch and Tomlin, the players and the coaches just aren't good enough to make up the difference.

I think the majority of the penalties are bullshit, but we can't do **** in the playoffs with this bunch anyway.

 

[SteelVictory]

You know what sucks?

There 4 Head Coaches on this team!

Tomlin, LeBeau, Haley, Munchak.

When did Colbert lose his Midas touch?

There's also a reason 3 of them are no longer head coaches

Not only do we repeatedly lose to awful teams year in and year we get torched by the same poor players, Louis Murphy destroyed us in the Raiders debacle years ago with Gradkowski. Murphy caught 6 passes for 128 yards and 2 TDS in that game in 2009. Tomlin is just a poor HC.

2. It almost goes against random chance that your defense doesn't get turnovers. They got one today...but like steel shinin said, that was a gift. I guess they met the quota for the next 4 games.

The astonishing lack of turnovers is the direct product of (1) a lousy pass rush and (2) a secondary that is trained not to watch for the football and make a play on it while it is in the air, but instead to try and knock the ball loose after the receiver catches it.

Anybody who doubts the 2nd point is invited to watch ANY OTHER GODDAM NFL GAME for comparison. At least 3-4 times per game, each team, a defender makes a move to pick a ball off - steps in front of the receiver, anticipates a route, beats the receiver to the spot and picks the damn thing off or knocks to down, with a near-interception. Just think back to Rod Woodson.

Also, a lot of turnovers result from a good pass rush. Sack-and-fumble or bad pass caused by the pressure.

The combination of no pressure + defensive backs and LB'ers who NEVER see the ball before the receiver catches it means that any 2nd string nobody can light up the pass defense.

10. In John Maxwell's, "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" he speaks of a former manager of a successful takeover firm in the hospitality business. The manager said when they take over a hotel they always start by doing two things. First...train the employees. Second, fire the manager. ALWAYS. Because..."if he had been a good leader, the organization wouldn't be in the mess they are in."

So you're saying that John Maxwell was a racist?

When did Colbert lose his Midas touch?

It is my speculation that when Tomlin came in, with Rooneys support, he started to flex his muscle, and override Colbert advice. Colbert stepped back and allowed Tomlin his pleasure. Now we are seeing the arrogance of Tomlin coming to fruition.

 

[Stlrs4Life]

If this game doesnt put the icing on the cake for Tomlin I dont know what will. Numerous undisciplined penalties and of course the f*#king failure at the end, offensively and defensively. Yes I said offensively. That play calling at the end of the game was absolute horseshit on both sides of the ball.

Art Rooney III will not fire him. He's too damb dumb to fire him.

 

[hook]

This is the team that Tomlin has built and it sucks. I remember when we used to play the crappy teams, we pretty much always used to beat "them". Now we ARE "them". What a joke we have become and it's all been under Tomlin's watch. Time to clean house. Tomlin, Haley, LeBeau everyone.

 

[jsc2536]

really?? "They reaaaaally missed Ike Taylor out there today." are you serious?
if he was playing today, he would have been flagged 3 times foe first downs and burned 5 times
When Tomshit kissed that has-been of a CB last week, I knew then this season is done

This team is coached "play not to lose" not "play to WIN" that is the new Steeler culture!

 

[SteelerSask2]

Tomlin is a guy who guesses and hopes. He has no end game. They got a mind numbing false start on Pouncey. Who's snaps out of pistol are laughable by the way. Jeez half of them are picked off shoe tops. Then they pass on second down. If you are going to pass. Pass on third down and try to finish it. Or make a pass that will get it done on second. On third you might as well booted Ben out and gave him a run throw option to try and get the first and finish it.

 

[stuntmanmike]

Born a steeler watched them since the 70's and I have to say watching this team and the blocking of the offensive line for like since the Ben era is like having my teeth pulled every weekend. How hard is it to put an o-line together??? Just ask the steelers... Cody Wallace... Guy whimper... Really... They get a Guy called pit bull like will simmons 6-5 340 and instead of teaching him to block and be a great steeler they keep a piece of **** like Cody Wallace or guy whimper. We are are on a bad track, coaching, front office, ownership take ur pick...

 

[JJ_Steel]

As far as coaching, getting the team prepared and halftime adjustments , this stat says it ALL. Our opponents have scored on every drive to start the game or second half this year, 5 TDs and 3 FGs, that is all on the coaching or lack thereof.

This got a chuckle outta me

Exactly! And not only do they throw on 2nd, they throw super-short with no attempt at the 1st down. So their goal was the same as that of a running play. Only they decided to add a ton of unnecessary risk, with a small chance at reward.

 

[Litos]

I'm ******* tired of this pattern of inconsistency and losing to bottom feeders. We are now a bottom feeder too.

This is just unacceptable

 

[Turbo Pig]

I knew this was a loss from the dumb ******* play calling from the first damn play.
