If he was a better coach, especially on defense, he wouldn't have so many games come down to a FG. In 2017 they won four games with a FG in either the last minute or on the last play to get that 13-3 record.
Man I am really confident about this game Sunday. I mean really confident..

It's a difficult comparison because they were so much better back then. When Tomlin is a top five coach, I mean, c'mon.
How many head coaches today will get in the HOF? I got one. Hoodie and we know he cheated.
You mean the same Tomlin who hasn't won a replay challenge in three years? The same Tomlin who's won three playoff games in eight years?

You can call out a guy and not hate a guy. 2DL sets on goal line/short yardage downs is idiotic, how can that be a good idea?
Horrible challenges, not just being wrong all the time, but some of the plays he challenges are just dumb. How about 4th and 1 in the playoffs vs Jax, Jax is in a goal line defense, all 11 guys are at/near the LOS and he calls a toss sweep to the SHORT side of the field, the toss is 7 yards behind the LOS when the defense is at the LOS. Those are all examples of just dumb football decisions from a head coach.
Not sure how this turned into a Tomlin thread, but my 2 cents.
He will be a better coach and gain more respect, if:
1. Clock management improves
2. Challenges improve
3. Holding 4th quarter leads improve
4. Having the team ready for sub 500 teams
5. And yes, elimination of the 2 DL sets

6. Managing players , See deebo / Jarvis, Antonio, L. Blount
7. Making mid game adjustments.
8. Game planning.
Every thread turns into a bash the HC thread...don't be silly!!!

So I am watching the 2018 P*ts @ Steelers game.
Those of you who are 'supremely confident' clearly don't remember that game. Classic P*ts ****. They just continue to move up and down the field. The fact the Steelers won that is a miracle. JaySam heroics included.

Actually remember 2018 & 2017 pretty well.
Without key players the Steelers outplayed Patriots both games... they got the big one to Hogan last year & Gronk was uncoverable the Pats last scoring drive.....
Other than that they were stopped and we ran the ball on them all game.
I’m feeling good about beating a team that is mostly in their head & wary of their antics.

Winning in December of 2008 is 2 decades?
Is that the new math?

HA ha ha ha haaaa!
I wish it were that easy to blame this thread...The Steelers are a lost organization. We do not even have an identity on either side of the ball. They look like they are making plays up in the dirt....They will not fool me again. The next time I talk trash about the Steelers, it will be in a cowardly way after they win the game. I dont trust this Tomlin coached team anymore. I dont care who they bring in or draft. Tomlin has no clue what to do with them..
Whelp, there goes my confidence...

Pessimistic view: This was the Patriots without AB. Yeah, the painful truth is Brady will play 5 more seasons, they will win at least #7, #8, & #9, maybe make a serious run at #10. Ben should hang em up at the end of this season. There's really no point as long as Brady runs the show. And if you truly think it's all rigged for the Patriots, then just stop watching altogether. It's pointless anyway. The game plan last night on both sides of the ball was a copy/paste of last year's win. How inept to think that would work again.
Optimistic view: Slow starts have always favored Tomlin's teams. There's time for things to gel, as they say. Shake off the rust and move on. Better to slay that dragon in the playoffs than week 1. The game plan last night on both sides of the ball was a copy/paste of last year's win. Not a bad idea, as it doesn't show the league your entire bag of tricks in week 1.

Yeah, because it's important to lose in order to not show your "bag of tricks." Good logic.
What's in that dairy product?
hey, what time does the game start? asking for 53 buddies and a few of their coaches.
prior to the Dri Archer debacle, the Blinger here held the record for the longest thread and managed to **** up the database at the time. Blinger gets a pass.

That's why I prefaced it with "Optimistic View". Not implying that was their actual game plan. Maybe I should have made that bold text also blinking in red.

LOL
All these chest thumpers swallowed the koolaid believing this defense was goona be better with one rookie LB, hilarious
We should have drafted WR, RB Iike I told ya
Now we have NO playmakers on either offense or defense, brilliant
Nelson, Barron AND A rookie LBer. More than one player.
