Tomlin says Gentry is best blocker. Well on top of this he is a giraffe. I dont remember him dropping a bunch of passes... Wonder why they dont use him more.?

They have been. He was the single TE on a few blocking sets for the past 2 weeks. When Steelers go 2TE formation for running plays, it's Muth and Zach. That is the correct assessment of our TE room, and using Ebron as a big WR is now his main role, and quite frankly, his best role.
I just cant believe it took 6 games to get Muth involved and use Ebron properly. Maybe another 6 games they will stop forcing the ball to Chase and let Washington play more. DJ is clearly our best WR right now and I think Washington is more consistent than Claypool at this point. I dont understand what Washington did to get in the doghouse?

Ebron is still below the line in the blocking department. Completely whiffed on a block that resulted in a rare loss of yardage for Najee.

Ebron is just plain below the line. I remember when he was drafted I wanted us to get him so bad it was ridiculous man what a disappointment he is right now.
The reffing was absolutely questionable and needs to be addressed...

Of course it will be addressed. They took what should have been a stinker and turned it into an overtime thriller. Bonus Time!

Every time they throw to him I cringe if it will be caught. I also cringe on what kind of celebration he is going to do if it caught as well. STFU and play football is what I would like out him the most. He can be clutch and make big speed catches but the coin can just as easily flip and he will drop big play easy catches as well.
He will be gone after this season so no worries. Gentry & Friermuth along with a rookie (PS) will be the next 3 year TE deal.

To be fair, they had helped by Butler's failure to return to the 5 man line until late in the 4th Qtr. Wouldn't have been a game if they had continued to take away the run and made Geno beat them.

I know this is all speculation but do you think Butler was that slow to react or do you think his boss had a hand in the slow reaction "chess" match ? I know we as fans claim this or that and expect a 1 play turn around when in actuality it takes time to adhere and make sure your adjustment doesn't get you burned. This single adjustment from 2man to a 5 man front happened way to slow considering what was taking place in clear sight.

Personally, I think Butler was too slow to make the change ... AND Tomlin was too slow to make him make it. It's like corporate hierarchy, one is in charge of the department. The other is in charge of him (and by extension the department). You don't mess with the guy running the department when things are running smoothly. When they aren't, you give him a little time to get things fixed. If he doesn't fix them quickly enough, you tell him what needs to be done (If you have to tell him too many times, it's time to start looking for another department head).
I saw on the broadcast what looked like Tomlin calling defense in 4th and OT. Still not so sure this is Butler’s defense
Bouchette, Dulac. Fittipaldo and Zeise have all said that for 2 years now
Is it possible that it was Butler's defense until the 4th Qtr?
Oh, we're trusting the media on THIS one? Just don't see Butler sticking around to be a figurehead. No matter what reporter says so.
If you Haven’t noticed Tomlin’s coaching tree…not sure Butler would be employed anywhere else. Munch and Haley were HC’s and in no way part of his festivus tree
From my perspective, Butler probably shouldn't be coaching here. And it's to the point where I'd be investigating a fresh voice at the top. Not making a change just to make a change, but I'd be looking to see if there was someone available that might bring a fresh perspective. Not gonna happen though.

Claypool is the Malkin of the NFL...When he decides to play he'll light up the field but he takes off plays...sometimes the entire game. Is Claypool now considered the "lazy American"??
