A loss is a loss and as painful as it is that's the way it goes in the NFL....you just don't win the SB every year. That being said there are a few things that are inexcusable to me in this game.
1) On 4th and a half a yard you either run it up the guy with the best back in the NFL or you sneak it with one of the biggest QBs in football. You don't run to the edge. That right there is inexcusable.
2) Whoever was making the worst offensive calls at the most crucial times, someone needs to override the moron. Let's say it's Haley. Then it's the responsibility of the head coach to set Haley aside and give him the ******* riot act. Either that or Ben needs to go to Tomlin and say I'm taking this game over and you need to communicate that to Todd. Period. I don't see any important decision maker creating accountability for one who makes poor decisions. It just keeps happening and everyone in charge keeps letting it happen. Inexcusable.
3) The ownership gives too long of a leash to Tomlin and his coaching staff. Inexcusable.
4) Tomlin and certain players should keep their mouth shut about the other team. I hate the ******* Pats but do they do that? No. Tomlin lets the inmates run the prison. Tomlin should keep his mouth shut and he should hold idiots like Mitchel accountable. Lack of respect and discipline. Inexcusable.
5) Where was the pressure on Bortles on third and longs? From my perspective they blitzed a small D back from the outside that was quickly picked up but saw few inside blitzes from linebackers or safeties giving Bortles too much time to convert and sustain drives. They have Bortles for God's sake and Lee, Cole, and Westbrook. They do not have Ben or Brady or Brown or Gronk or anyone like that. Inexcusable by Butler and Tomlin.
6) They waited to the tail end of Ben's career to address the secondary and they decided to go LB and WR in the first two rounds this year. CB and saftey should have been the priority. I don't care that Schuster is a gem. What did he do today anyway? What did Watt do? Their weakest link had been there weakest link and guess what? It will be their weakest link again next year. They wasted the last ten years of a HOF QBs years. Inexcusable.
I could go on and on but in the end if all us fans do is ***** then that's inexcusable too. I disagree with what the fans of the University of Tennessee did but I will say with confidence we are much more knowledgeable of a fan base then they. We need to ban together and start a boycott or protest if demands of Haleys and Butlers resignations are not met. We underestimate the power of Steelers Nation. Ben threw for 469 yards and five TDs. He is a gift and had two more years here at best. Brown will be 30. The O line will age and who knows about Bell. We need a commitment to the D in the drat and we need coordinators fired immediately (I'd like To join to go but that's the least likely and you have to learn to pick your battles). We need to stop bitching and act or we are as complacent as the coaching and ownership. ******* period.
