Doesn't Trust the Coach

[swissvale72]

Isn't THAT the fuckin' truth!!

9) Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5)

When you employ a future Hall of Fame quarterback with a knack for playing his best when it matters the most, you always have a chance. And Ben Roethlisberger isn't the only Steeler with the ability to take over a game and dominate any defense -- Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell are unstoppable weapons who rank among the cream of their positional crops, as well.

The downside? That's all I trust when it comes to Pittsburgh. I don't trust the defense. Or the coach, as Mike Tomlin's ego (see: the insistence on continually going for two) is hurting the team.

But again, that explosive upside is hard to ignore.

I didn't read the comments, but from listening to this guy on the radio, he's a borderline dipshit. I remember when he was bitching and moaning about the video of Tom Brady jumping off a cliff in Brazil like he running with the bulls or something.

I have no idea who he is.....just saw it and posted it.

Mike Tomlin is Dan Bylsma. He's having success. It's just not the type of success that leads to a Super Bowl.

It already did. Twice!!!

But, God Almighty, have you seen what's happened since?!

The only dumbfuckery is those who think Tomlin has any chance of being fired.

He is in talks to be extended again...His current contract runs out after 2018...Soon it will be 2021.

For those who think Tomlin has any chance of being fired...Save your time grab some lube find some porn and do something a little more productive with your time.

ZERO CHANCE Tomlin is fired anytime soon...Most of you will be collecting social security before he is gone

Very few believe he will.

Many believe he should.

Cowher often coached like a pussy in big games, so I appreciate Tomlin's guts.

Unfortunately he makes some bone fucking headed calls too. Going for two after an opening TD is fucking stupid. It was even more stupid to continue doing so against Dallas.

Actually, it's not and it wasn't. Saying it was because of the outcome is short sighted.

And...again...BEN LOVES GOING FOR TWO.

"I think we should," Roethlisberger said. "I think we should go for it every time."

According to Roethlisberger, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is fully on board with the idea.

"He's the one that brought it up to me," Roethlisberger said.

Ben's been the wizened vet this season...calling out players and approaches he doesn't like because he is a "leader". So how can Ben also be a deaf, dumb, and blind puppet when it comes to 2 point plays?

Tomlin never muzzles Roethlisberger. If his OC and his HOF QB want to go for 2, and he likes going for two, and there are good reasons for going for 2, wtf is Tomlin going to say...no?

Tomlin is no Lombardi but he isn't a talentless hack. He makes some dumb fuck moves....just saying this MIGHT not be one of them....
