Undisciplined bullshit

[Legacy User]

-How many flags can one team get in a game?

-How many times must we go horizontal when we get into the redzone

-How much more will Justin Brown play over Lance Moore?

-How much longer will the artist formerly known as Troy Polamalu remain on the field?

-How much longer will Cam Thomas be a fat fuck?

-How much longer will Shamarko Thomas pick splinters out of his ass?

-How much longer will Tomlin refer to his player as a bad motherfucker and not stupid motherfucker?

-How much longer will Jason Worilds play like the "pre-injury prone Woodley" version?

-How much longer will Cortez Allen be a jag?

You've backed Tomlin, I get it.

....he isn't going to survive much longer.

After this clusterfuck of a season, his ass will be on one serious hot seat my friend.

He had better be happy our schedule is a joke.

We still aren't going to sniff any playoffs.

Belee dat.

It's funny, I knew it was gonna be close, had a real bad feeling we were gonna lose when TB gave the ball back and I still have a circa 95' Bill Cowher face on right now

I used to, I don't see how anyone could continue to do so. No playoffs should mean no job for Mike.

His players aren't very good-- if you believe that's primarily on him, then I agree it's his fault.

Troy made some great plays today, so did Shamarko Thomas. Hell, we had an interception!

Even the OC was pulling out all the stops today going for the kill.

The Justin Brown thing, I simply don't understand at all.

I agree with most of this

all week long I thought it was a trap game

Only thing I can think of is run blocking

[Orangesteel]

What the fuck is a trap game, anyways?

I feel like that term was invented by coaches who continue to lose to teams they probably shouldn't lose to. These guys are professionals and they coin a term like trap game because why? I don't even think we are better than Tampa. In fact, I think we are pretty damn close and that doesn't bode well for us. Lovie Smith and some no names embarrassed us today.

Tomlin's recipe means he shops for the wrong groceries and when he cooks them it tastes like shit.

BTW, I thought we had seen the last of Big Herp Thomas as a starter.

Of course, that's true... so replace him on 3rd and long. That drop was a killer. It literally changed the tone of the game-- could have really piled on TB there.

and Tampa Bay had 0 wins, and gave up 56 points the week before.

I know you hate IC but this had trap game written all over it.

Shitty teams don't have to worry about "trap games"....being a shitty team means you have to worry about every game.

Plus, I thought trap games usually occurred between two tough games - so are we calling CAR and JAX elite teams now?

The Steelers weren't good enough to overlook ANYBODY.

If they did, that's on Mr. Bug-Eyes.

That would take competency from the coaching staff

Bryant has size and can block. Why not let him play?

[Legacy User]

We didn't lose this game because it was a trap game...FFS...we lost because our sphincters got tight

[K_C_]

It's this simple.

Ben needs RELIABILITY out of the 3rd WR position.

He had that in spades last year and this year we have Justin Fucking Brown as his chain mover, red zone threat?

MOTHER OF CHRIST.

Lance Moore is the final hope for Ben at that position.

If he doesn't succeed, this offense is fucked.

There are too many of you wanting to explain what happened today and how it wasn't Tomlin's fault while conveniently ignoring that this same "undisciplined Bullshit" has occurred repeatedly over the last three years when we have played teams that everyone else had been beating up on until that point. Lack of talent: You either draft talent or develop it or both. Lack of discipline: You either draft players with self discipline or develop it or both. Lack of focus and attention to detail in game preparation and during the game: You either draft players who have this capability already or you develop it.

IMHO this didn't appear to be such a big problem before Tomlin became head coach. If the problem is a combination of lack of talent and/or developing talent, player self discipline/focus/attention to detail, game preparation, play calling, in game decisions, etc., what one person has the most influence over that COMBINATION of things? Mike Tomlin.

FWIW, as my name implies, I have been a Steeler fan for 40 years. I have never complained about a coach on this forum or any other until today. This game today was the last straw for me regarding this bullshit from Tomlin coached teams.

Keisel asked if he thinks the #Steelers are undisciplined: "I don't. But it keeps showing up in stadiums"

Maurkice Pouncey: "Penalties stood out" How do you fix lack of discipline? "Lack of discipline?" Your coach said that "Gotta ask him then"
