Larry Fitzgerald Calls You Ungrateful

[CKSteeler]

Probably, at least.

It's the same old, same old former player defending Mike Tomlin bullshit.

"It really bothers me to hear the slander of Coach Tomlin and how ungrateful some of these fans and pundits can be," Fitzgerald told Jim Gray on the "Let's Go" podcast. "When you do something that consistent for that period of time in this league, when there's only three men that have ever done this in 100-plus years of playing this game, you gotta tip your hat."

"It is so hard to go out there and win," Fitzgerald added. "I don't think the Steelers understand how difficult it is to be in the conversation every single year. ... When you're in the conversation, that means you have a chance to go win that trophy. When you're sitting at home watching playoffs, you have zero chance."

What's not said - one of the other three guys to do it is Bill Belichick. Who no one is currently defending and who is about to lose his job after this Sunday.

Why come no one defend Belichick, who has two Super Bowls since Mike Tomlin last won a playoff game?

Also, when was the last time the Steelers were in any "conversation" for the Super Bowl?

[Orangesteel]

OK, Larry.

The conversations involving the Steelers and the Super Bowl typically go;

<start>

“There is no fucking way the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl.”

BB is the greatest coach of all time*. If he can be fired or if Noll can be fired, then fucking lame ass Mike Tomlin can be fired. Tomlin is basically Marvin Lewis with a FQB. The only reason Tomlin gets shielded is because he is black. It is racist and disgusting.

Oh btw, typical Tomlin bullshit. When backed into a corner, he finally will get aggressive but the moment he has breathing room back to being his BS conservative self. It happens in games. It happens in seasons. To win at the highest level, modern football requires controlled aggression — from both players and coaches.

[CKSteeler]

There's more backlash to the backlash against Tomlin than the actual backlash. That's my perception.

and it took one win coming off two disastrous losses for the defenders to come out of the woodwork again and for most of the media to reverse course.

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

Larry ZERO POINT ZERO - great career, but NADDA!!

Tomlin Defender Stockholm Syndrome

[Smashmouth21]

Zeke you are a dumbass for bringing race into this. You look like the racist, not others. Glad Larry said it.

[SteelPro]

The reports are now that Belichick isn’t going to get fired.

The other person to do it was Tom Landry...who only missed the playoffs three times in those 21 years, and went to five Super Bowls (winning two, and two of his losses were to the Steelers in games that could have gone the other way- the other loss was the Blunder Bowl which also could have gone either way and may have had he started Staubach instead of Morton).

Landry also went to 12 conference title games in those 21 years, went 20-16 in the postseason, winning at least one postseason game in 14 of those 21 seasons.

Oh and like Belichick this year, after all that achievement, his team moved on from him.

But Tomlin- we should just keep giving chance after chance...

Yep.

Even before Mason put the Steelers back in the playoff picture and Mitch Trubisky was flushing those hopes down the shitter, the Steelers were talking about extending Tomlin.

That's all anybody has to know. Anybody posting about Tomlin being fired or traded or whatever is wasting their time.

There is zero chance anything like that will happen. Tomlin will leave on his terms and his terms alone.

As KC noted, they were talking about extending Tomlin before Mason Rudolph came on to help guide the team to the two wins that put them back in the playoff discussion.

Oh and you know what I am seeing all over the web now?

It's not that the Steelers suffered two disastrous losses to two 2-10 teams that is the reason the Steelers are in a "win and need help" situation.

Nope- it's the fault of the official who called Kadarius Toney offside (which he WAS) that the Steelers aren't in a win and in situation.

[langer]

"It is so hard to go out there and win,

Hmm, is it really?

Lots of teams have done the same this year.

Of course there are worse teams. McVey is looking not all that great any longer.

And there are teams that have no problem making the playoffs.

It's hard to win when you are your team's worst enemy, that's certain. This team can barely get a consistent offense together and have Coach Mike surrendering the offense to assholes like Canada then getting all pissy when its pointed out he sucks and he might need to get shitcanned.

Highly Educated Larry, who went to college, should know that at least.

The back-to-back losses to 2-10 teams will never be mentioned in the national media again.

I was listening to "Unsportsmanlike" (the ESPN morning show) on my way to work the other day, and they were raving about Tomlin not only being a model football coach, but a model leader of men. The perfect leader. It was cultlike. Then they started saying things to the effect of "look how good he has been to have a winning record with Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph. Just IMAGINE if he had a great QB like Russell Wilson." I almost crashed my car. I get that ESPN hates Roethlisberger, but to completely ignore that Tomlin had a HOF QB for nearly his entire career yet accomplished essentially nothing with him in the last decade is plain bad faith.

ESPN is pure propaganda when it comes to Tomlin. They treat him the same way the North Korean media treats Kim Jong Un. It's sickening, and there are definitely some non-football related motives underlying it.

What's ungrateful is this team taking advantage of the fan base and $$$ being there.

[langer]

It was cultlike.

It is easy to turn someone as second-rate like Coach into a god.

It's a ploy as old as humanity, and I'm pretty sure there are style guides and rules and regulations when it comes to discussion of Coach Mike.

I agree with Madden here 100%. Cowher made double the amount of AFCC games as Tomlin in fewer seasons, and he made 4 of those 6 AFCC games with O'Donnell and Kordell.

Give Cowher Ben from the start of his career and Cowher probably wins 2 or 3 Super Bowls, maybe more. Give Tomlin O'Donnell or Kordell instead of Ben and Tomlin's out of the league by now.

[franco>madden]

Ok, Larry, and Tomlin sycophants.



Just how many years of the same falling short crap are you happy to lap up?

Exactly Right and there is no debate. Tomlin is window dressing on a slanted/fake NFL world

[CzechSteeler]

Tomlin will leave on his terms and his terms alone.

And he´ll be HC of Steelers next 10-15 years.

[Steelperch]

We don’t take opinions from guys with zero rings

[Jizz Mop]

I wanna paint the barn red for another 10 years at least

Love me some Coach Tomlin

[tbsteel]

This is the same thing Kentucky fans had to hear during Tubby Smith's final years. It was obvious to anyone who actually cared about the program that the team was getting worse over time and recruiting wasn't near where it should be, but the national media and outsiders would constantly berate Kentucky fans like they were ignorant and how lucky they should be that he was their coach.

My guess is if Tomlin goes elsewhere the rest of his career will look like Tubby Smith post-Kentucky: not accomplishing jack shit and fading into obscurity.

[Obviously]

Probably, at least.

It's the same old, same old former player defending Mike Tomlin bullshit.

BB, while a clear HOFer like Tomlin, has had trash teams lately. 3 out of 4 losing seasons. This year a complete disaster, win over Steelers notwithstanding. You get a pass when you have a stellar resume. But when you have no chance over and over and over again people start to think you’ve lost your touch. Some of you are so clueless…
