Obligatory Postgame Complaint Thread (Jags, Wk 5)

This might be off color, but Ben said this game wouldn't affect him anymore when he walks out of there and see his kids. how hard would it hit him if his kids said " Wow Dad you sucked!"

 

This was one of those losses that reminded me of Steelers from 1985-1988. Steelers of '99 and '03. Point blank horrible.

It was similar to the Dolphins game last year when the Steelers were in it during the 1st quarter and then collapsed. But this was 10 times worse because it was on the home field. The defense played well in the first half and completely fell apart in the 2nd half.

As I've been saying all along, the offense is overrated. Big time. This team is going nowhere if they don't right the ship. Next 3 games are brutal. Chiefs, Bengals (improved) and Lions.

 

I wonder if Ben has had his eyes checked lately, if not he needs to make an appointment with an eye doctor because his distance perception seems to be way off, and it's possible his head trauma could be involved with his eyes at this point and his age, it just doesn't seem normal he had a career high 5 picks and has been missing deep throws even before this debacle....

 

Exactly! Why can't they throw back shoulder fades to Bryant, who is 10 feet tall???? Look at the Packers game at the end. That is the play we need in the red zone. Or run it twice from the 2 yard line behind Nix. Don't go empty set and run a horrible play!

 

This team is soft.

Go on, tellem Joey!

 

I just don't understand how Tomlin gets a pass over everyone else on this team. Not just this board but the entire city. Tomlin doesn't deserve the loyalty this city gives him. He is way too inadequate for what the organization should strive for in a coach.

*I do not care how many wins he has* I just do not care. He will prove how much of a fraud he is as a gameday coach without a QB when Ben is done.

 

On a somewhat related note, I can't understand why people insist that Tomlin gets a free pass when theres more than enough evidence to the contrary, both on this board and in the wider media.

 

Tomlin is replaceable. Coaches like Noll are irreplaceable and coaches like Cowher are not easily replaced. People are so fixated with keeping 1 coach for 30 plus years that they will keep a "Rich Kotite" to cut their nose off to spite their face. Its truly an anomaly.

Tomlin is one step above Rich Kotite (obviously) but Kotite never spent more that 2 years with the 2 teams he coached. But Kotite never had a roster like Tomlin does (and did from 07 to now).

I actually beg to differ if he's really better than Kotite to be perfectly honest. Maybe if they competed in the Special Olympics, that would be epic.

 

Believe me. Tomlin doesn't get any passes from my house hold. He's so simple for other coaches to figure out. He NEVER game plans against specific teams. Never plays to their weaknesses. Never prepares for their strengths. Goes about his business the same way each and every game from the first preseason game to the last second of survival for this team. With the talent level that this team has I consider him worse than Mediocre Marvin of the Bengals.

If I were the ownership he would have been let go right after the AFCCG last season along with most of the other coaches. I would have promoted Munchak for a 3 year HC contract, gave him the keys to hire a new coaching staff for this season and moved on. This team has absolutely no discipline nor focus anymore. JMHO.

 

Funny how Munchak gets a pass around here yet his unit is struggling terribly.

 

Some slack maybe, but a promotion? No Way!

 

What this game truly needs in order to be cathartic, is a Hitler reacts to Ben throwing 5 picks in Steelers loss to Jags video.

 

No PWP could do that (green font)

Edit using only DHB

 

With all due respect everybody on the line with the exception of AV was here before he was. So I wouldn't say he put the line together.
Has he been an Intercal part in their success? Yes! But through five games this year they are struggling.
Correct me if I'm wrong, he didn't exactly like it up last time as a head coach?
A few years ago Butler had one of the best groups of linebackers in the league. You want to give him the head-coaching job?

 

I disagree that he is struggling terribly. I think he is the best out of all the other coaches that we have on this team. There have been a few bad games but for the Oline but he hasn't been as bad as Haley, Butler, Smith or Tomlin in regards to their responsibilities and duties as far as I'm concerned. Danny smith has been decent so far this season but the other 3 haven't impressed me at all. Honestly, I would have blown up the coaching staff immediately after the AFCCG and gave Munch a chance.

 

Yes I completely agree. We do have Bryant back who hasn’t seen the ball like he should. LeVeon in the slot along with Schuster. We needed to do what we did against Baltimore. Run the ball with Bell 35-40 times. The Jags have the #1 rated pass defense and we throw the ball the whole game because Brown had a temper tantrum. Come on do we want to win or appease Brown? It’s seems like it’s appease Brown at the cost of a win. Now we have to go to KC and beat the Chiefs. Good luck!

 

Hmmm..Wanted to see a little of the Ben talk this was fun to scan back through....I hope CROW was on sale the last month...They must me selling a lot of it.

 

They never admit they're wrong. They'll dust off the same arguments next year when we lose a game. But this is not that year.
