The season is pretty much over

This is his golden ticket to the HOF! Hard to believe just because of this little streak, this will be his ticket to the NFL Hall of Fame!

 

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

 

We kinda thought the game would be decided by turnovers. And it was.

 

The steelers and bears were even in turnovers at 2....The steelers even score a defensive TD

 

The game was about even until the last Steeler turnover that we never recovered from.

 

But hey, they are above the mean! Gummy Worm Art II loves Bags Tomlin because he keep them above the mean

To those not awake:

Don't you get it yet?

 

it was over before it began.......like most years with Tomlin

When will you all WAKE UP!

 

suck thru and thru......the ENTIRE ORGANIZATION. it is a cultural cancer.....only a few can see it here.

 

Where's STD?

 

I believe there is more than a few.

But there are still those who will die on the Bags Tomlin hill.

 

i hope drinking a BIG does of REALITY

 

I was hoping for the play Mason had when he led them on a run to the playoffs a few years ago.

 

Made an amazing double coverage catch last night

 

he is one of the most talented WRs in the game

we ALL know that

he was a complete MENTAL CASE here.

maybe he knows too that Tomlin is a BOZO.....

 

Telling his Tomlin statue he will never let anyone hurt him lol.

 

We hear this crap every year he has lost the locker room blah, blah blah.

 

That was my first breaking point. I called for Tomlin to be fired after that game and again when that season ended. I think he has elevated some bad teams that snuck into the playoffs since then, which got me to waver, but I'm back to saying it's time to go. Sunday's game was a great example of everything that is right and wrong with Tomlin's teams, mostly the wrong. They battled and found ways to keep a game close against a better team, but that team was better because of the systemic issues that are Tomlin's fault. I am convinced he refuses to deal with players who might be even a little difficult. Instead of working with them and finding ways for them to succeed, as I think he did with Antonio Brown for years before the eventual meltdown, he wants them jettisoned even if the return value is pennies on the dollar. The defensive scheme is a joke. The offensive scheme isn't much better. There is rarely accountability for players or assistant coaches. There are sloppy mistakes at key moments. Instead of trying to fix those systemic issues, Tomlin counts on little patches that help sneak out enough victories to avoid losing records and sneak into the playoffs. That approach isn't cutting it.

The loss to the Bears and the monster game Pickens put up for the Cowboys yesterday combined to illustrate why the Steelers will once again struggle to stay over .500, and if by some miracle they make the playoffs, they will exit quickly. For all his faults, Pickens was their most talented offensive player. Tomlin's approach relies on great individual effort overcoming largely predictable schemes with the occasional cute wrinkle. If you're going to do that, you can't give away elite talents like the Steelers did with that trade.

 

It felt like there was no plan. To acquire guys like Rodgers and Slay, who would theoretically help only this season, and then dump Pickens on the cheap made no sense.

 

Like last year, we all knew going into the season that (1) we weren't a great team and would likely be fighting for a WC spot and (2) the season was easier at the beginning of the year and harder at the end of the year (opposite of the Rats).

 

I doubt they care about some streak of non-losing season streak not once have I seen them post anything about it.

 

"...they can't fix what's going on...."

Sobering watch:

 

I'm afraid their making their golf plans.

 

pretty much
