Lack luster for sure. Wow this could be a slow long death if we don't turn this around against a terrible team
Tomlin always plays down to the competition, that is why he needs to go. The 7-0 is not because of him.
No he doesn’t. Stats say you are dead wrong.

On Tomlin's Record Against Teams That Finish With A Losing Record
A comment from a post this morning (you probably know which one) got me thinking, what exactly is Tomlin's record against teams that finish with a losing record? And how does that compare against the elite head coaches in the NFL, say for example, Bill Belichick? I pulled the data since 2015 for both teams, I bolded losses to losing record teams (data from pfr):
Here is every loss the Pittsburgh Steelers have had since 2015:
2018: Chiefs (12-4), Ravens (10-6), **Broncos (6-10)**, Chargers (12-4), **Raiders (4-12)**, Saints (13-3)
2017: **Bears (5-11)**, Jaguars (10-6), Patriots (13-3)
2016: **Eagles (7-9)**, Dolphins (10-6), *e* Patriots (14-2), Ravens (8-8), Cowboys (13-3) *e*
2015: Patriots (12-4), **Ravens (5-11)**, Chiefs (11-5), Bengals (12-4), Seahawks (10-6), **Ravens (5-11)**
And here is every loss the New England Patriots have had since 2015:
2018: **Jaguars (5-11)**, **Lions (6-10)**, Titans (9-7), **Dolphins (7-9)**, Steelers (8-8)
2017: Chiefs (10-6), Panthers (11-5), *e* **Dolphins (6-10)** *e*
2016: **Bills (7-9)**, Seahawks (10-5-1)
2015: Broncos (12-4), **Eagles (7-9)**, Jets (10-6), **Dolphins (6-10)**
Mike Tomlin and Bill Belichick have the same number of losses to losing record teams since 2015 (6). Can we please stop using this tired argument?
e: a letter
e2: data for 2016 got cut off, added in the 3 additional losses (doesn't change anything)
e3: u/Markedwards54 pointed out that I messed up the Dolphins' record for 2017, had them listed as 10-6 (2016 record, damn my poor eyesight). So Tomlin actually has **one less** loss than Belichick.
Hayden? Why was he back there?

because they left the base defense on the field to deal with a fake if it came
