    I have so much respect for the rams and McVay. They are less talented than the steelers imo, especially since the super bowl and they still manage to be in fight for the playoffs and winning seasons each year. They even win in the playoffs because they come to play and actually look prepared. They barely ever get blown out.
    This season alone, finishing 10-7 with all the injuries and blowing out a 14 win team is crazy. McVay is so smart, creative and a good motivator. He is everything Tomlin is and more. And I am not only talking about this year. Respect Rams, respect.

    They started out 1-4 and now are a win away from the NFC championship game. They have a lot of momentum behind them.

    McVay is one of the best coaches in the game, a true innovator and leader. I’d agree that he overachieves year after year because he is that good.

    I think the Steelers are actually trying to follow the Eagles template in terms of team building. Be strong at both lines of scrimmage, run the ball at a high rate and play good defence.

    The problem is they are nowhere near good enough in terms of the construction of their roster. The Eagles are better at every level.

    I live in LA and I never thought highly of McVay. The Super Bowl win was bought by mortgaging the future. And sure enough they fell off the cliff. But the rebuilding that the team has done is impressive. That defense is scary good and young. The offense is clicking with old man Stafford. Hats off to McVay and the FO. If AR2 really wants a change, trade MT and bring in the Rams DC, Shula.

    The Rams threw everything in the middle, won it all, had thier best player retire, struggled for a little while and now their back in the final 4.

    That's coaching.

    Everything in this thread is true. The Rams have a good FO, great HC, great QB, good coordinators, did a fast and proper rebuild, all of it. The Steelers have none of that. There's some talent here but not enough and the coaches have no clue what to do with it. I just despise Deuce.

    Not sure about the less talented part. Better QB, better WR room and the RB is at least as good. TE a wash.

    Definitely a better coached team though and took down a better Vikings team. Steelers never would have beat the Vikes.

    McVay is not scared to let his assistants shine and go else where. He has a solid coaching tree. I beleive he lets them do their jobs. And he preps them for success.

    In where Bags Tomlin has zero. He micro manages the offensive archaic gameplan and he is the defensive coordinator and it is his scheme and game plan and he has his puppet put that game plan into motion in practice.

    Bags Tomlin did his best work when he had elite coordinators in place both offensively and defensively. This afforded him to learn to be a head coach and be the front man. A good 5 to 6 years. The coordinators had autonomy. Then he started poking his fingers into the whole pie and was given the keys to the football side of the franchise. And here we are. Another disappointing season. Unless your on the non losing season train and participation trophy presentation and parade...

    This season was an epic collapse. Then going into the playoff which they proved they didn't belong.

    Gonna be a LONG 3 years so buckle up to those who are not Magoo's...

    Kaboly confirmed what many of us believed, that Tomlin has massive control over the team even down to player approval. No one is brought in without him signing off on it.

    Steelers need an offensive mind at HC, like McVay. There's plenty of good DCs out there who can run a good defense. We don't need what we currently have... HC running an expensive, predictable, overrated defense that can't get a stop on 3rd down.

    Right, it's on the owner and that isn't changing. The rest of this is ultimately meaningless.

    Get back to me when they beat the Eagles, and not a team whose QB saw the name on his back in the mirror and realized who he actually was 2 weeks ago.

    Matt Stafford is 18-3 over his last 21 games in December and January. Since going to the Rams he has been a winner.

    He was a winner in Detroit, just that everyone else around him was a loser.

    I really hope he's back in Detroit for the NFCCG, but that may be mostly because it means the Eagles lost. I do think that would make for a great game though.

    Would be a nice story to see him do that. Eagles are gonna be a tough out for anyone right now.

    You know, I started to say that, but couldn't precisely recall his years vs Stafford's. Good catch.

    You act like 8 playoff wins, 2 Super Bowl appearances, 1 sb win since 2017 on a team Mcvay built is good or something? Rams had 1 losing season in that span. Guess who didn’t?

    Tomlin cant compete with the likes of McVay. He falls short with talented players. McVay puts his players in the best position to succeed. We had a young no nonsense former DC many many years ago like that.
