We’re Limited by Schematics! Per Tomlin, WTF!

Sounds like just more excuses!
Yeah I'm not a Tomlin defender, but there is truth to it. Still they are getting gashed and there should be some improvement by now. We won last week because of Rodgers and a bunch of turn overs....that aint happening every week. They better tighten this thing up soon.
 
It's a rare admission of structural and organizational concerns in both player readiness and in the coaching approach to defensive play design. Rather than making rapid adjustments, Tomlin is clinging to familiar tactics that are not working against contemporary NFL offenses. Couple that with the fact that the Steelers rank near the bottom of the league in missed tackles per game means that fundamentals aren't being coached and or made a point of emphasis. There are clear communication problems resulting in players out of position and overall confusion on who is doing what.

Also, Predictability and exploitable weaknesses with defense have opposing teams targeting the same play designs against the Steelers successfully.

Points allowed per game: 29th
Yards allowed per game: 29th
Passing yards per game: 26th
Average time of possession: 27th

If I'm Art Rooney I'm pulling the coaching staff into my office and asking them what the **** I'm paying for?
All of this!!!!! The new Rooney's don't care as much about winning. Obviously. The standard has been mediocrity for years.
 
Tomlin was responsible for the Canada mess where he let a great offensive line coach Munchak walk promoted an idiot enstead to OC, then had to replace him with a bigger idiot that had to be fired mid season… now he’s responsible for promoting the idiot that's destroying the once proud men of steel defense… how many screw ups does tomlin get? And smith is no great genius that teams are lining up to hire… enoughs enough It’s getting ridiculous!
It's obvious Canada was bad, he is currently holding Arthur Smith's Beer. Been saying it since he was hired. Arthur sucks, he does fit well with Mike Tomlins square peg in a round hole philosophy. Trying to force the wrong scheme with the wrong personnel.
Smith has done nothing but lose without Derrick Henry covering his ***.
He somehow managed to sabotage Bijan Robinson and the rest of the Atlanta offense now he's doing it to Jaylen Warren.
 
Rooney! Rooney! Rooney!
I will never root against the Steelers, outside a weird late season future draft pick scenario.
But
If the Vikings embarrassed the Rooney's in Ireland it would be satisfying on some level. And well deserved.
If we can't get the win I hope we lose by 40 points to yet another Journeyman Backup QB.
 
That’s a good point about embarrassing the Rooney clan in Ireland if they are blown out by the Vikes.
That might and I emphasize might open Art’s Irish eyes a bit. I would think that it would get his attention.

A blowout loss in Ireland by itself would not move the needle one bit in terms of how Rooney views Tomlin.

For context, he gave Tomlin his last extension coming off the Steelers fifth consecutive blowout loss in the playoffs.

Ireland ultimately isn't anymore sacred to the Rooneys as it is to any other American family of Irish descent.

Most likely won’t make a dent! Sad how this franchise left in the hands of this Rooney has fallen so low as to merely accept non losing seasons as the new standard.
These two mooks Art and Tomlin deserve each other.
