If you are Rooney...

The Rooneys will not do anything. Tomlin's list of excuses and injuries is too long that they will "understand".

I agree with the laundry list of players, but honestly don't thing Kapinos and Suisham are all that bad considering the big money needed to draft someone.

I would let Tomlin know that I'm extremely disappointed in the direction of the team and that I expect major changes. I would give him a few weeks then go back to Tomlin and ask him what changes he thinks are necessary. If he didn't feel that BA or DL needed to go, I would fire Tomlin. If Tomlin can't see that perhaps the game has passed DL by and that BA is a complete waste of oxygen, then Tomlin needs to go. If Tomlin stayed, I would remind him that Ben is not Brees or Brady and cannot play like that, so hire an OC accordingly.

I would also go to Colbert and tell him he had better have a damn good reason why the Oline and CB issues haven't been fixed in 5 years. I would let him know he better get them fixed ASAP or he'll be the tackling dummy in practice, then fired.

I also would ask Tomlin whether he believes a switch to a 4-3 would be better. We don't get all the 3-4 players like we used to, and Tomlin comes from a 4-3 anyway. Without DL, perhaps it's time to switch back.

While I agree with you on most of this..it will never happen. Not yet at least. We went 12-4, missed a division title by a 1/2 game, and are 1 season removed from a Super Bowl visit. However, I believe having 1 of the easiest, if not the easiest, schedule in the league masked our true weaknesses this season.

BA needs to go, I pray that the front office can finally see this. DL should not be going anywhere. Would be nice to perhaps bring in Raheem Morris to work with DL for a season and ultimately replace him. Not sure if RM would actually agree to this type of demotion...I think he'll get better offers. Our defense flat out did not perform last night. I don't think DL's scheme was the issue, the players were flat.

Colbert has been a blessing for this team, it's finally time to address the line and secondary, but I wouldn't drop Colbert for anyone else. I think his track record speaks for itself.

I think it's finally time for Tomlin to take actual control of this team and make some of the tough choices. The division isn't getting any easier. Baltimore is going to be just as good next year and Cincy will be even better with the treasure trove of draft picks they got for the Carson Palmer trade. We could easily be the 3rd best team in the north next year if we don't make some good off season moves.

I disagree with this statement. The scheme that was used last night was terrible. How can you deploy a defense without a safety in the middle of the field?
You NEVER use a defense that doesn't have a safety in the middle. That is the very least you do. And after Taylor got torched several times it was obvious he was having trouble and Lebeau did not change his tactics.
