Initial Thoughts bears Game

[fedderone]

Its amazing how often and how quickly you guys try to go below the belt just because someone doesnt agree with your take on someone. You got time to do that then you got time to go back and forth by yourself. Im on the side of being fair and objective regardless of what i think of a person and refuse to allow any personal bias to impact my thinking.

Personally i think its about time the Steelers move on from him, but with fans like you i have no problem sitting here and laughing in your face while Tomlin keeps collecting a paycheck. I was trying not to go the route you dod in this last post and I won't be because its not worth it. Now you can go argue with your momma.

OK, you don't appreciate my humor. Fair enough. I will be black and white, dry, with simple facts going forward with you.
I fully comprehend I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and that I can come off abrasive. Duly noted for you.

I am confused by your comment, though.
Do you feel I went below the belt on you personally, or on Tomlin himself, or both?

For this old timey Boomer, you're newer here.
For the Cliff notes version of my Tomlin feelings - I was an early supporter of his. I actually defended him earlier in his career when people were calling for his head. i choked down his word salad, every last sentence.
But then I kept loving my team, supporting my team, and listening and hanging on his every word and eventually noticed it didn't match the product on the field.
I am the farthest thing from a knee jerk reaction guy. I am almost too methodical and robotic in my decision making, and I have my career as an analyst in contracting to thank for that.
But we now have a clear pattern.
We have all seen enough to know that while his charisma, of which he has an over abundance of, is undeniable and mesmerizing, his football acumen and leadership qualities are fraudulent.
He is Barry Switzer.
But he was fortunate enough to get his gig in Pittsburgh instead of Dallas.

He won't be fired. I am FULLY aware of this.
One day, he will either want to go to the booth, spend more time with his family, or the Rooney's tell him that it's time to move on with his life's work and they simply won't renew his contract, and allow him give whatever reason why at the presser.

Your attempt to be humorous falls about as flat as your attempt to get a job.

No worries. I am currently in the running for a position as your mom's well-compensated companion.

Yet another job most Americans won't do.

Why sit here and entertain people talking slick behind a keyboard and doing coward ish (knowing full well they wouldnt say what they say to someone's face because theyre scared they would get the Mario coins knocked out of them) when we're talking about something thats going to be the same tomorrow whether we're here, or not?? Im good about 24 hours after a win or loss for this team BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT IS. Life goes on for me....apparently not for u. I get on here for fun, but if people cant "keep it cute" then find somebody else to argue with. We can agree to disagree, but dont say nothing youre not gonna say to nobody face.

Uhh, you do realize that nothing I said - literally nothing - in my post that caused you to go berserk was even remotely an insult? In fact, part of my post was a direct quotation of a portion of what you said.

And you also realize, I certainly hope, that you are the one blustering and frothing about "saying that to my face" while suggesting I am the purported keyboard warrior? I am making fun of you; you respond by screeching and hyperventilating, consulting Google for "top putdowns from 2012," and going full Keyboard Rambo ["Gaaaaah, say that to my face ... I mean to my computer screen!!"]

So I would say anything I posted about you to your face because I was making fun of you. You will be shocked - SHOCKED! - to learn that I make fun of my friends all the time and they do the same to me. Making fun of you is admittedly easy and perhaps I should take into account your "special needs" and inability to take a joke so there's that, I guess.

Finally, you should re-read my last five comments directed at you and your jihad responses and ponder for a moment, "Saaaaay, exactly who appears to be taking this way too seriously?" For the answer, find a shiny surface, rub it briskly and look into it.

P.S. Mario coins?

The pass rush was bad yesterday. If I can find the stat I’ll post it but Williams was barely pressured.

Not what I was looking for, but even better because it highlights one of the reasons why the defense has been really bad this year.

 

[topseed]

interestingly, the Giants just fired their DC... and their Defense isnt anywhere near as expensive as ours... and we're just "shades" better.

Tomlin wants yes men on his staff, not hostages.

Tomlin wants yes men on his staff, not hostages.

I'd say they're both. He's a joke.

Now you can go argue with your momma.

@fedderone's momma wanted Tomlin gone after the Jacksonville playoff loss, homie.

What that means is they need to spend another 50 million a year on defense. It's obviously not enough.

If only the Steelers had given Cam Heyward another $50 million, everything would be fixed.

P.S. Mario coins?

This is a phrase of the kids.
Means hit you so hard, it knocks you down a peg/degrades you.
I personally think it's misplaced.
It should be Sonic coins, as in Sonic the Hedgehog, but Nintendo won the console wars vs Sega, and the victors write history.
But he is referencing video game characters being hit by an enemy that causes them to lose their coins/in game items.
The harder you're hit, the more coins you lose.

Fedderone lists NINE assistants under Belichick who got HC jobs. NINE. Points out that exactly ZERO of Tomlin's staff ever became a HC (since Arians was a Cowher holdover), and in fact no team - college or pro - has any interest at all in Tomlin's coaches.

The only reasonable conclusion is that every other significant football program in the United States beyond the high school level does not want the "Tomlin formula" as part of their scheme.

Your attempt to be humorous falls about as flat as your attempt to get a job. He didnt need to tell me who the assistants were that got a job, because i knew that long before he commented on it. Ive seen the posts and comments you guys make on here a 1000 times. What he failed to do was "keep it cordial" which a immature petulant child like yourself could never comprehend, but im hoping he does better.

The irony is that people complain about Tomlin doing the same ol same ol with no change, but somehow think their own incessant whining and crying will somehow lead to a change in him being the head coach. I saw you wasted 3 hours of your life in another post pouting about how "boring" the Steelers were only to literally say at the end of the post "I know nothing will change"!!! How insane is that???!! You're not getting paid, no one of relevance is looking at your post. Why waste your time like that?? I dont have time like that when I know the conclusion of the conversation.

On TV we always see opposing fans fighting & brawling after a game at the stadium…
