OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Its January and we are still talking about Handball!?! Currently 10-6

[Colonel Mustard]

Maybe the worst half of football I’ve ever seen the Steelers play.

Idk that playoff loss vs the browns was pretty bad

 

[FlightlessBird]

Herbstreit is on crack. This first half was exactly what Steeler football is at this point.

I’ve been saying this for years now, but these national guys do not watch the team like we do. That’s why they’re always shocked to see the team play this way. And then when they say stuff like “They look uninspired. That’s not the Steelers we’re used to, especially with Tomlin,” it’s like what the f*** are you talking about? Us fans have been saying it *is* the Steelers for 3+ years!

That replay of Muth getting trucked by a 170 lb cb is horrendous.

And the Jags…. It’s time to retire MT.

Also the Chiefs one. That had a similar vibe as this game going into it.

 

[Shockmaster]

Tomlin has only won playoff games in 4 of his 18 seasons.

Let that sink in.

Sensing a theme

Weren’t there at least turnovers at play in that game? This is just flat out domination on both sides of the ball. The Steelers offense didn’t even cross midfield!

No he will get traded to team like the bears who will throw a paraded going 10-7 and making the playoffs

What will the gutless wonders do in the 2nd half

 

[nsvoyageurs]

Spoiler - nothing will.

I've followed this team since the early 1980s.

Unfortunately, it's accurate that nothing will change with this franchise, as Art II, the dim twit, thinks everything is fine since they had a non-losing season and made the playoffs. "Yay!" Yeesh. This organization is a joke; stuck in the mid 1970s. They're 1 half away from losing their 6th straight playoff game and this "elite" (according to some) defense giving up a million points in the process.

Tomlin should've been gone 2 years ago, but the idiot owner will never fire him; he has put together an inept coaching staff. They could go 0-17 for the next 20 years, the organization would never fire him.

I am not absolving any players for the team's playoff failures; they have played like crap. This is a poorly coached team; a poorly put together roster. Everyone in the organization is to blame for this shit show.

This franchise is bleeped.

That seems extremely unlikely but I’ll drive Tomlin to the airport

I look at the Tomlin coaching tree, and there's nothing, are you going to tell me that this isn't one of the high profile coaching destinations in the league, and I think it's an ego thing with Tomlin, if his assistant coach picks are what he considers the best he could find, that alone should've had him fired.

Live in their fears

Tomlin should have been gone after the 2018 season.

No one can be smarter than he is. It’s that simple.

Watt has had enough

It's funny - Tomlin has a job that offers more job security than the Pope has, but he still fears having assistant coaches that may be smarter than him.

 

[Andy99]

The Steelers and the Pens are just the same…the players give up…they’re soff lol…ownership is terrible, the coach should have been fired years ago…god awful

 

[End of Line]

For as much shit as Marvin Lewis got, if Tomlin didn’t have his SB they’d be looked as the same

 

[MrBrightside]

To be fair, that's a big distinction. That said, it doesn't matter. I wish it did. This isn't going to change.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Lol

 

[cookthebooks]

again, the difference in tackling jumps off the screen

No because national media has an infatuation with Tomlin compared to him

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Now they make plays
