Okay. Do you apologize for flying off the handle and misinterpreting what I said? You come down yet?

If so, we're even.

I think Bowles is a better coach than Tomlin. I think many coaches are better than Tomlin. But I don't think Tomlin is the be-all-end-all of the Steelers' mediocrity. The scapegoating on here is just human nature. Internet forums need scapegoats.

Fair enough, I just get touchy about being falsely accused of things I didn't do or didn't mean


I appreciate your effort to make peace

This is the part you lose me because he is most of the problem

Kenny Powers LOL

 

[vodeni]

first play

 

[K Fleur]

The worst prime time game I can remember watching the Steelers play was that monsoon game in Miami.

Trubisky vs Brissett could top it.

 

[vodeni]

If I were Brown's coach just run every play, their QB stinks, not sure why they would pass at all

 

[wheelz87]

Harvin still garbage

 

[vodeni]

I'm indifferent on Tomlin, I do think his race plays a bit of a role in how he is viewed, but I certainly don't view the Steelers as some amazing organization that he is holding back.

And I think Tomlin could be successful here again and may even win a SB. He's neither great nor terrible, moreso in the middle. His biggest issue in my opinion is hiring inadequate assistants (until Flores).

so explain to me that its his race that play a bit of a role as oppose to all other black coaches that have been ridiculed, fired and made scapegoats for the last 10 years...Tomlin's tefflon status is one of those things that he has undeniable charismam that especially national reportes that follow Steelers superficially fall for. This notion that Tomlin gets a pass is because he is black is not only incorrect, but also...whatever I am tired of this shit

 

[K Fleur]

Tomlin is never getting fired because he has never had a losing season. I think the dude is awful and held some great teams back but there are probably like 15 teams in the league that would kill for that kind of consistency year over year.

The Steelers also have only had 3 coaches in the last half century. That “stability” is something the organization prides itself on

 

[wheelz87]

3rd and one they try to pass lol

 

[vodeni]

3rd and one they try to pass lol

there are some really bad coaches in NFL

 

[Andy99]

I can’t stand these pass play calls…everything going to DJ and then sideways pass to Pickens is ridiculous

 

[vodeni]

great call

 

[Andy99]

Settling for a 50 yard FG with that wind is a major fail

 

[TNT87]

Damn wind.

 

[OnMyOwn]

20+ mph sideways wind…..let’s kick a 50 yard field goal instead of going for it.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Trubisky: I want to start throwing the ball deeper
Also Trubisky: dump it off to Harris for a 4 yard gain on 3rd and 8

Please get both Trubisky and Canada out of here.

 

[mynameisnick4]

Canada must think there is some magical force field between the numbers preventing any pass play being run there.

 

[Son Goku]

if we had competent coaches we'd have 8 or 9 superbowls by now

 

[Empoleon8771]

That was also a nice kick by Boswell, he hit that exactly like you would have wanted. It's just the insane wind took that way to the right.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Hey @Mr Jiggyfly ... You were 100% correct that Doc is a troll and I'll back you with that.

Ignore that dude bro - warned you about him.

Loves to call people names and then whines when you force feed him his own medicine.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

This is some Big Ten football right here (aka: this game is boring).

 

[Smoke]

I'd say punt or go for it in that situation, not sure many kicks are going to be made tonight.

Kicking the FG kind of says to everyone what the coaches think of the offense. lol

 

[Andy99]

Our tackling is shit…and terrible defensive series there…no one on Cooper

This game is over because of the Steelers offense lol
