    When will this be addressed? Does he have someone upstairs that reviews these plays and tells him when to challenge a play? If so fire him and get someone new, if not why not? This has been going for years now and his challenge rate is abysmal. If this decision is solely on Tomlin’s feel then this is just another sh*t show by him!

    I'm more tired of Tomlin not going for it on 4th downs, even when it's his best chance of possibly winning. Everyone knows how bad Tomlin is at challenges, so that's to be expected. I don't even complain about that anymore, because you know he's never going to improve in that area

    I'm tired of Tomlin! lol

    Everyone's always "talking" (media, some players, MT himself) about what a great character he is, "genuine". I'm sorry, but when a fan says "Coach Tomlin" and pumps his fist(from a distance) and MT's response is, "I'm f*c*in workin'" as he walks by.... SMH! That is the sign of an egomaniac and an a$$hole right there.

    And speaking of his "talking". I would love to see some action from him for a change. Flappin' his gums telling players how to be great and leadership, blah blah blah! How about you show your team with leading by example?! Show the community by basically not telling fans basically to shut the eff up when they are rooting for you. Not calling people racist that said you're a "player's coach"!

    People like him are praised in society today. It's not cuz he's a good guy or good at what he does IMO

    I knew the guy was an a$$hole ever since he tried to trip that Ravens player on the sideline, then actually had the audacity to laugh about it! That told me everything I needed to know about Tomlin's character then and there

    The non challenge on the forced fumble was absolutely ridiculous. There wasn't any wiggle room that the play could have gone one way or another, it was clearly a fumble and recovery by the Steelers inside the red zone. Yet Tomlin just stood there on the sidelines and did nothing as the Lions got to the line of scrimmage and completed a pass for the first down. Bob Pompeani and Charlie Batch were at a loss as why Tomlin didn't throw the challenge flag.

    Obviously he was more interested in seeing the defense defend the GL than watch the offense start out on their own GL. I get what the result of the challenge would have been. But...what would it have accomplished, really?

    I think if it was a regular season game that he still stands there and doesn't make the challenge.

    There is no doubt in your mind that he missed it....instead of in preseason he likes to put his guys in bad situations that they may see in a real game...like He has stated many times .....so instead he just totally missed it???

    He needs to hire somebody to help him with challenges for sure, the two non-challenges in the preseason were bad.

    I really thought , maybe thats my problem, that every team has someone up in the booth to let coach know whether or not to challenge call? If they dont its pretty asinine.

    So you're the "hall" monitor? Ha. How 'bout you take a flying leap! It was a take on Tomlin. In case you didn't know, he's the Head Coach that you and other morons worship!

    Please do not bring your racism into this board.

    It is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
