    You Love TB12(Terry Bradshaw)for just that.
    Nobody says anything about Bradshaw 30 td, and 26 ints. I guess only Ben's 36 Tds, and 28 ints are horrible?????:shrug:

    Dick was on his way out the door and so were Dicks players. I don’t believe he cared for Tomlin anyways.


    But besides the point Tomlins defenses have giving up 40+ points the last 3 playoff games and countless of 150+ yard rushers this year. It may be normal but he sucks at it.

    Maybe because Dick didn’t wanna give up his play calling and Tomlin forced him too?

    I kept waiting for some of the things talked about after he was hired to materialize but haven't to the point I anticipated. Like Lynch saying he walked up to him and shook he hand and said you play great let me show you how to be better and he did. Maybe as a position coach Tomlin had more influence but I'm not seeing it as a HC.

    Yep Butler was the poor version of LB, Austin will be the "living in a van down by the river " version of LB.

    Why aren’t they?

    Is it because Tomlin has requested permission to interview Joe Witt Jr, Secondary coach of the cowboys for the open DC position……

    The Ravens are also interviewing him……

    Or the franchise QB could not be a turnover machine, the players play and coaches coach, it's up to the players on the field to make a stop no matter who is calling the defense :shrug:.

    When was the last time franchise QB Ben played good early in a playoff game? How about scoring some points early, and not waiting until the Steelers are down by 3 TDs :shrug:.

    The first 15 plays minimum are scripted. Weird how Ben does worse the more coaching is involved. :shrug:

    Just because the play is scripted doesn't mean Ben can't put some points on the board :shrug:, I'm sure the script doesn't tell him to turn the ball over :shrug:.

    You know over half the Steelers points came in the 4th this year right?

    Yeah, because Ben sucked in the first quarter, you can't blame the script for every failure.

    Word is Austin will go to Chicago to be their DC with Jim Caldwell as HC

    Most likely the only reason they looking outside the organization

    yeah that's part of the script ,,If nobody is open just throw it into the air and let your guy fight for it, even if you're at your own 20.

    Well when Arians was OC we led the league one year, and were always tops in scoring on the opening drive of the games.

    I'm sure when the Lakers had Kobe take 30 shots a game they didn't plan for him to turn it over or shoot 35% either. :shrug:

    That makes more sense. Caldwell seems like a good coach. Hope his health holds up.

    Tough to say how bad off the defense is. Just saw playoff games where defenses were irrelevant and whoever gets the ball last wins.

    It`s mostly about offense now and we have next to nothing.
