Tomlin Blames Everyone but Himself
- Thread starter steelhurt
- Start date
It’s getting a little harder to wear my Steelers hat on Monday mornings,especially if the lose to Cincinnati . But wear it I shall.
I've always said that if I could make it through the 80's and remain a stalwart fan that I could make it through anything. I feel tested by management's stubbornness regarding a coaching change. But then I was also tested by the assinnine decision to stay with Korky for so long. And no it isnt race. Woodson, Bettis, Harrison, Lloyd, Mean Joe, Stallworth, Swann and many other
Black players are in my top tier of my very favorites. I cant imagine not liking a sports figure because of their race.

Post of the week, that was great.
I think you bumped your head, bro.
The Steelers play the Ravens, Chargers, and Rams in that time frame, and also the Colts and Browns. You're trying to tell me they're going to sweep these games, or only lose once?
Please.

Sorry Dave, but you're the dude that needs to get a grip. Let's go over some things.
1. Since Munchak left, the offensive line has been a screen door. Horrible
2. The offensive line is killing our running game
3. Without a running game, the load falls onto the shoulders of a young QB with a restricted playbook
4. the defense is severely underperforming, leaving the Steelers in a scoring deficit early in games
5. Being in a scoring deficit makes the offense one sided and more predictable.
6. again, putting the pressure on the young inexperienced QB with a restricted playbook.
7. Lastly, we have a clueless coaching staff who cannot, and seemingly will not, make adjustments to better situations.
And somehow, someway, you believe that the 0-3 Steelers, having a +175 probability of missing the playoffs according to sports bookies, is ONE game away from being in the playoff hunt? Wowwwwwwww.
I just had a visit with Black Jesus
this is what I found
Fans are clowns for hoping for the best? Cmon Spike..................
And just so we’re clear on this angle too... does race matter to you? Why do you want to keep Tomlin so bad?

Did you not see where I said this was from the Bengals board?
Here's another one...
The Stealers already have an excuse for when we beat the **** out of them Monday night, that they were hampered and would have won if Ben was not out with Rapist Elbow.

How refreshing would it have been to see Tomlin act like a head coach and say this is not on our rookie QB but I did not come up with a pane to make Mason successful . Never see this out of the million dollar vocabulary speeches of Tomlin.
Bermuda loves everyone regardless of skin tone. Period the end.
HCMT is a human, who will make mistakes. Just because he doesn't speak "ebonically", when he's in front of the camera doesn't make him a bad HC.
Yes, he's struggled w/ time management and in game adjustments; but that's why he has a staff to help him focus on the overall management of the team.
The HC cannot control players, who sit out for a season because of the business-side of sports. The HC, for what it's worth, kept AB in check until he, AB, lost it and wanted out. The HC cannot prevent members of his coaching staff from moving on to a new team. The HC cannot control the death of a revered WR coach - a week before the season starts. Oh, the HC cannot control or prevent a player from being nearly paralyzed, for life, because of a freak accident. These are facts.
I don't know, and I would wager that most of us are just fans, with opinions, of exactly how this team should be run. That's fine.
I just choose to stay positive and look for the best possible outcome of each game - hopefully we get some W's and perhaps then, yes perhaps, the incessant moaning and gnashing of teeth will stop...
But, eh, who am I fooling the complaints will continue - even IF we win a SB w/ our HC.

MNF is our SUPERBOWL!
Win or be eliminated from the AFCN
The Marvin Lewis-less CINCY squad is fired up for the win, and I see zero interest in this GAME OF THE YEAR contest around here.
Can the Bengals change their Prime Time games losing curse?

Nope, a game against the Bungholes will never be our Super Bowl. Maybe theirs. I do hope we beat them though, will be fun to wallow in their misery at losing to the weakest Steeler team in years.

That's what worries me. If the Bengals come out pumped and ready to play, and the Steelers are their usual flat, unadjusting selves, it could be a real problem. And it seems like this team always plays the Bengals better on the road, than at home. I swear to ******* God, the beat writers better be holding Tomlin's feet to the fire if the Bengals clown the Steelers on Monday night. No more softball bullshit.

Badcat, I could not agree more. Super Dave, love the optimism man but, it ain't gonna happen (Insert overused, but appropriate Jim Mora "playoffs" shtick here). A fish stinks from the head back. I actually think there are some talented players on the Steelers roster, I do not think there are talented coaches though. Tomlin is in over his head for sure this season, I don't believe he can coach a turn around here.

There’s no viable corporation or mega business entity the size of an NFL franchise that rewards mediocrity. Art Le Deuce aka “lacking the Chief’s cujones”, should have pointedly informed HCMT “bring a championship into the building and we’ll consider a conversation“.
“ Never had a losing season” ‘n at!
My arse
Tomlin should have never received a contractual guarantee for any period of time.

I am not a Tomlin fan. I don't think he gets the most out of this roster. But to be fair and at least marginally accurate, the Steelers pre-1972 were one of the worst professional sports franchises in history - all under the Chief's watch. The franchise's record from 1933-1971 was 170-284-19 (.384 winning percentage), one playoff appearance in 40 seasons, zero playoff wins, and 10 seasons with 2 or fewer victories, including the 0-10 record in 1944 as the combination of Cardinals and Steelers.
I'm old enough to remember Buddy Parker teams as a kid, but if they can't get by with a W on Monday, I can foresee similar season ending results.
If that's what it takes for MT to move on with his life's work, I can accept this season, I've lived through worse, and I'll continue to follow the team.

I hear what you are saying but it was DAN ROONEY that brought the STEELERS out of the obelisks. The Cheif showed 40 years of nothingism. Once Mean Joe was drafted things changed.
Salute the nation
For the 1 millionth time, AB and Bell did not want to be here, it's not like we said get the **** out of here, we don't need you.

Prob one solved, then AB looks around and says, u know what_we still a winning tems, they take care of their superstars, i like it here, no drama, prob 2 solved
Yeah like that
