Tomlin Presser! He’s Delusional

[madinsomniac]

No coach should ever be with a single team for more than a decade. Their strategies and messages get stale. They get complacent. Tomlin probably has another 15 years of coaching left in him... trade him to Miami where he can make a run at shulas record there.

I have no doubt that down the brutal stretch of the schedule, he will magically find the solution to fix the team, as he always does, and finish 9-8 or 10-7...

But i have no faith he will be innovative enough to win another super bowl here.

No surprise, you disrespect Broderick's brother.

Word of advice, Tomlin's Mom: avoid castigating the intelligence of another person by way of a comment rife with basic spelling or grammatical errors.



Go ahead and post the link where he said, "Yeah, I touched it" or "I was just hoping nobody noticed I touched it."

Oh, and you probably did not know that before the revised kickoff rules in the NFL and the current rule for college kickoffs was/is that a kickoff that goes into the endzone untouched is a touchback.



So the two options are:

• Johnson touched the ball, knew he touched it, knew the ball was live, knew he needed to cover it to avoid a turnover, but instead ignored it rolling into the endzone in the hopes that nobody noticed and he could get away with one.
• Johnson did not touch the ball and erroneously believed that the old NFL rule and the college rule he played under the year prior applied and a ball that rolls into the endzone untouched is a dead ball and a touchback.

The VASTLY more likely explanation is that he did not touch the ball and erroneously believed the ball was not live when it went into the endzone because that is the rule he played under his entire life before Sunday. It's called Occam's Razor. That shows it was a player error AND a coaching error.

1) The fact he skrrted around the question when he was asked directly is enough to convince me he knew that he touched it.

2) Replay video showed that he clearly touched it.

Cowhers didnt though, he won a playoff game with Maddox in his 12th season, should've been in the AFCCG that year if it weren't for Nedney taking a dive that would make LeBron proud.
Then won a playoff game with a rookie QB two years later, then a Super Bowl a year after that.

Historic defense?..hahaha. We should already know when they start running their traps before the season has even started,that it would be opposite.


They may want to dust off the game films of the 1976 Steelers.

So no, you have no statement from him saying he touched it, and instead you make up a conclusion not based on what he said.

Got it.

2) Replay video showed that he clearly touched it.

You should look up the word "clearly." Here, let me give you an example of a proper use of the word:

NoBrain#7 clearly does not know the meaning of the word clearly when he says a video that does not show clear contact with the ball clearly shows contact with the ball.

Tomlin struggles with hiring people that are potentially better coaches than he is and in the process, he, and his staff, often appear to have a hard time developing young players. Young players like Benton and Jones come in and play well their first year out of college. Once Tomlin has had a year or two "coaching" them, many of the promising young players fall off.

Players like Watt are good enough to play above the coaching when in their prime. Now he's lost a step, but still good, Tomlin can't figure out a scheme to help him get by the double and triple teams, or figure out how to take advantage of those same double and triple teams by bringing more pressure from somewhere else.

I just saw we are 29th in overall defense, and of course we are the highest paid defense in the league, sounds historic to me…

You mean there’s three defenses worse than the Steelers? As bad as the Steelers defense is, to be worse is absolutely abysmal.

Does he struggle hiring people, or is it that he's such a egomaniac he can't have anyone that may be smarter or that will challenge "his way" of thinking?

Cowher’s teams always had hope, Tomlin’s teams of late don’t seem to have that.

It’s not the teams players actually, but the HC-ing duties that maintained the hope / hope-less.

The coaching has an expiration date, it’s up to owner(s) to determine that date. Our owner is blind & Def.
