Just enjoy the W and move on

Expect the same type of nailbiter on Sunday night. With this team, nothing is going to come easy. The offense will score points, but the D will give them up just as easy. Who outlasts who at :00

Tomlin had the perfect chance to send a message to this team in game...DHB on the punt in the 4th ..moves then compounds the issue yelling at the ref and drawing the 15 yard penalty....pull his *** out sit him on then bench and set an example...not Tomlin ...all part of why we get 35 penalties a game... no discipline ...just do whatever you want men

If it were an issue with DHB, normally, id agree, but since it was a bit uncharacteristic of him, i can give him a pass on it.

See I can't ...uncharacteristic or not it should not be tolerated ..you let it slide.... oh DHB did it I can do it...when does it stop..just my thoughts..a culture adjustment is needed...this excess amount of penalties cannot continue
 
The most undisciplined Steelers team I have ever seen. Unreal. That's coaching, period.
 
Yes enjoy the win but it took more energy of the fans in front of the TV than the defense on the field to win the game. How wore out will we all be at the end of this year with the schedule coming up.
 
Every game is different,I’ll never complain after a win,just move on and hope for another win,
Defense has a lot of problems I get it but first half I thought they were more alive then I’ve seen lately,seems to be a fiercer rush and we’re getting to Fitz pretty quick and forcing the issue only giving up 10 points, he’ll we should have been up 34-10 at half.
Second half O took foot off gas a little and D was on field longer
I agree about coaching,team need to more disciplined,they’ve turned into the freakin Raiders

Def beats an L or a T .. but damn can't help but think we're still an embarrassment with all the penalties and terrible defense. I still don't feel a whole lot better about Tomlin than I did after we got smoked by KC. And I don't feel *any* different about Butler. And I feel worse about Danny Smith. We are a badly coached team, period.

But yes.. I'll take that W

I have zero respect as coaches for Butler,Porter, Danny Whoever, and the head of this shot show Tomlin.
The only ones worth a damn are Munch and Jerry O.

I hear exactly what you are saying and that in itself (DHB episode) is continual proof of lack of Coaching leadership. There is nothing anyone can say to defend that coaching flop. Old school or new school, there is NO excuse for a player doing that yet alone not being held accountable in front of his peers. Tomlin failed in that specific play.




Salute the nation

I think of it the same as i think of someone at work ******* up. Someone who is always on time gets treated the same as someone who is contually late? Or, if something changes with them, you discuss it privately instead of i front of everyone?

'Being late' is a example, it could be any infraction.
 
Seems like every year, we start with a lot of penalties, everyone talks about the poor coaching and discipline. By middle of the year, we are much better, not close to worst in the league and no one says anything about the coaching being good to turn it around.

It must be a discipline problem. Our most penalized player is Villnueva.....think he is undisciplined?

No, he is just above a mediocre OL, if not for his back story he would not get nearly the support and leeway that he gets. OL taking penalties for holding is different from guys getting 15 yards for late hits out of bounds, fighting, taking your helmet off on the field, arguing with an official...etc.

Yes you do...and I speak only from my personal experience...about 8 years ago I had 1 of 4 techs never late always 5 minutes early...he overslept 1 morning was late for his 1st call ...I let him off the hook citing his record...the other techs found out about it and it turned into a **** show...from that day forward everyone follows the rules laid out no difference ...I guess maybe it makes me a dick but so be it ....everyone is treated the same everyone is equally accountable.

But the Steelers didn't win the first two weeks, did they?

1-1-1...

No, we tied in Week 1 and lost to the best team in the AFC in Week 2 (after tying up the score being down by 21)...

I'm not going to lose sleep over things that NOT ONE DAMN ONE OF US can control here.

Me, I explain to the other techs why I let it slide. They want the same consideration, they perform better.

I get a ton of leeway at work because I get **** done and my boss knows it. Others don't get the same leeway.

I'm glad you're not losing any sleep. Congratulations. But what you said was: "We won. We have problems. What else is new???" I simply pointed out that yeah, the Steelers sure do have some problems, but no, they hadn't been winning lately. Actually three games in a row if you count the playoff debacle last season. That's what's "new."

Understand?
