Local and national media

[anpsteel]

In an amazing turn of events it looks like both the local and national media outlets are finally recognizing Mike Tomlin’s inaptitude


Almost everyone with the possible exception of Rich Eisen, our piling on it’s time for Tomlin to go bandwagon


They are eviscerating the Steelers and the Steelers coaches for the complete shit show that was the second half performance against the Bears

From the piss poor defensive scheme to the horrendous, play calling and personnel, decision decisions

2 yards slant with no time on the clock needing 50 to 90 yards


Having your two best playmaker on the sideline for the final drive


Not giving possibly the best kicker in the league a chance to get you to overtime- and instead relying upon an offense to gain 9 yards in one play when it only had 310 yard plus plays the entire game

What a shit show

The end can’t come soon enough

[langer]

This is why you hope for losses rather than wins.

This is why you hope for losses rather than wins.

Exactly.

But but but but if we do this and get help from 6 other teams we just might squeak in as wildcard and get to watch one more week of football.

Ummm no thanks. The only place this team is even lamer than they are now is in the playoffs.

Jibbs FINALLY getting called out for his idiocy is literally the only thing enjoyable about this team.

I’m hoping there is a whole lot more of that down the stretch.

I want this stench to fester into a mega season ending collapse.

The PG is blaming Rudolph for the loss now.

Not surprised for many reasons.

Id like to see the Steelers squeek in to a wildcard spot and then get blown out so Tomlin can finally tie Marvin Lewis for most consecutive playoff losses in NFL history.

Eisen’s tongue-bathing of Tomlin is borderline psychotic at this point. I honestly think he’s in love with Tomlin.


I am actually looking forward to the divorce. I think it will get ugly. I don’t think Tomlin has it in him to play it cool and thank the Rooney’s for making his mediocre ass one of the highest paid coaches in league history.

And once he’s gone, I’ll bet player comments start coming out of the woodwork. The local presstitutes may finally get the thumbs up by the Steelers to actually criticize him in print too. It will start as a trickle, and turn into a flood of repressed opinion. Mediocre Mike sabotaged a lot of careers. I’m really interested in what Ben truly thinks of the asshat. I’d also like to hear what Kevin Colbert thinks about him, too.

I just hope I live to see it.

If anyone deserves this ignominy, it’s Mediocre Mike. I think once he retires and has his 5 year waiting period, the bloom is going to come off his HoF coaching rose.

" ... for making his mediocre ass one of the highest paid coaches in league history"

mission accomplished

That right there folks is the moral of this story the real Goal all along ... and that does not come from purely winnings - its comes from branding, deflection and positioning. He and George Pickens have more in common than you think.

9-8 ... and whatever it takes to get you to 25 years of Getting Paid Phat Stacks

[PennyBacker]

The PG is blaming Rudolph for the loss now.

Not surprised for many reasons.

Pittsburgh has won one game in Chicago historically, and Rudolph had them within 3 points. He's hardly completely to blame. Neither the offense nor the defense made enough plays to win - primarily the defense, which didn't get enough pressure on Caleb Williams.

All that said though, Kenny Pickett showed a knack for winning games like that. When it was close at the end, he pulled through more often than not. Shame he didn't want to stick around.

The one that allowed WRs to run free all day.

The one that had two down linemen in their nickel package from the 2 yard line. By golly, how did that RB score so easy???

Derrrrrrr

Anyone want to buy anything from the Kiya Tomlin Official Coach T collection?

Kenny Pickett found a way to win games late, even in an offense with very few playmakers. He also had only about 1 1/2 season's worth of experience. There was still growth potential there.

[Gonzo]

so why didnt the other three teams he was one keep him?
including one with the worst QB room in the NFL?

hint ... I already know the answer

It's puzzling what happened to cause the rift in Pittsburgh. It looked to start long before Wilson or Fields were signed. Some folks had it in for him pretty much from the beginning. In his 2nd season, he was frequently accused of bailing on clean pockets despite the fact that he was constantly under siege and frequently had to dodge at least one rusher to set up a throw.

Whatever else can be said about why it ended, he performed well enough to win more games than not, and consistently performed his best when it mattered the most at the end of games.

Eisen made lukewarm comments a few weeks back that sounded like he was halfway out the Tomlin train door, but we can wait a bit more.

Colin Cowherds take today is a real 10 alarm inferno though. I heard it on the fan but need to find a clip

Pennies are obsolete and so are Art 2 and Tomlin

If we kept Pickett, which I can argue we should have, worst case scenario we would be in the exact same conundrum we are in now with QBs; and record; except we wouldn’t have blown up the “the development through the draft” model and “hire good coaches that can teach and develop” model, and “prevent the head coach from white washing his sins by jettisoning his awful picks” model!

Nobody can argue against the above paragraph, and if you can, you have not been paying attention!

[langer]

What will cause Coach T t want to retreat to lobbying and politics or sitting on his ass watching his wife sell her garbage sweatshop clothes?

Public ridicule.

Obviously he's impermeable to embarrassment from losses.

He cares about appearances and PR bullshit.

I bet he scours the internet looking for slights more than he does preparing for games.

Exactly.

But but but but if we do this and get help from 6 other teams we just might squeak in as wildcard and get to watch one more week of football.

Ummm no thanks. The only place this team is even lamer than they are now is in the playoffs.

Jibbs FINALLY getting called out for his idiocy is literally the only thing enjoyable about this team.

I’m hoping there is a whole lot more of that down the stretch.

I want this stench to fester into a mega season ending collapse.

Been there on this with you many times, '95.

I'm staying with Tomlin's going
Nowhere until Tomlin wants to, regardless of the media spin on it. Sure, they fired Matt Canada, might fire Teryl Austin, but no fuckin way is Mr. Rooney Rule firing the black head coach.

And, you know you're exaggerating but Steelers need help only in the form of Ravens losses. And yes, I've wanted Tomlin gone for another years but I would still rather see my team in the playoffs than not.

Broderick Jones and Isaac Seumalo are the only O-line guys left from those days. It was both of their first years in Pittsburgh, and they were paired with several other guys who were already known to be in their last season with the Steelers.

I remember it being hard to move you off of the immortal Mitch Trubisky as the starter in Pickett's rookie season. Guess KP was a bit better than you thought?

To bad the fans don't start screaming at the games "Rooney retire" instead if fire Tomlin, or maybe both.

To win as much as he did following the legend of Big Ben, playing as a rookie behind that O-line with a free agent guard and a rookie not playing his natural position as his best linemen—that's pretty remarkable in hindsight.

Really, my biggest concern with him playing early was that he'd experience growing pains and unfairly be labeled a bust. Remember he threw 3 interceptions in his first 10 passes—not exactly a dream start.

Nonetheless, the Steelers made the move to Kenny at the right time: halftime of the 4th game that season. It was clear Trubisky wasn't going to play well under the above circumstances, but they honored their promise to give him a shot.

Funny you mention him though, since he and Pickett will go down in history along with Roethlisberger as the only Steelers QBs to ever beat Tom Brady. Pretty good company for some guys who drew a lot of ire around here.

The offense always gets the blame.
It's never the 29th ranked defense

It IS the offense’s fault.

Think about why that is for a moment.

Exactly whose offense is it? What are the commonalities of these shit smear underperforming offense’s for the last 7-10 seasons?

I will argue it’s not the Jonnys/joes but the redundantly asinine totally predictable conservative schemes, lack of in play adjustments and [LACK of] preparedness.

Hmmmm, I wonder who really is at fault here?

Same can be argued about the 29th ranked defense IMO.

The defense certainly has its share of blame, but the offensive play calling was criminally bad

25 passes thrown 5 yards or less

And that final drive with Warren and Washington on the sideline

With no timeouts, throwing two, 2 yard slants- which wasted at least 40 seconds

Not giving Boswell the opportunity to kick the tying FG- for trying to get a 1st down, needing 9 yards- when they had about three plays all game that gained more than 10 yards

Not taking advantage of the 3rd string linebackers Chicago was fielding - by going with a game plan focusing on interior passes to the TE

Just flipping stupid stupid stupid


You cannot make dumber decisions than this staff made throughout 5he game

[Steelperch]

I’ve never seen any franchise have so many former players bashing the current coaching like this. McFadden, Harrison, Essex, Ben, Clark, Colon etc.. all shit on Tomlin’s decisions this year.

Yeah - it’s pretty wild how the former players are all the sudden speaking out

Hopefully Rooney is paying attention
