    I get why people are annoyed with his response but to play devils advocate, the players need to be crushed a bit. Their effort and execution is poor and while people tend to blame coaches for that, the players need to own the majority of that. The player is the only one that can control the effort on the field.

    As far as the coaching response, that could have been worded better however the Steelers are not going to fire a coach during the year and they aren’t going to create a lame duck situation where a coach knows he’s getting canned at the end of the season.

    I said I don’t want them to fire Coach Tomlin and I don’t think he will be at the end of the year. That doesn’t change the fact that that was an irresponsible crap answer.
    Maybe Chase Claypool points the responsibility somewhere else because he hears his coach do that.

    I was referring to the other coaches on the staff.

    I personally believe most of the responsibility of that loss was the players. It wasn’t a scheme issue. Guys were missing tackles and getting blown off the ball. Scheme doesn’t do that, that’s purely execution and effort. The line is weak, bad angles in the secondary. These are professionals and they need to start acting like it.

    I think he did by using we instead of them. He's right that the coaches don't make plays, players on the field do. I think there will be some personnel changes when the next game starts. Not sure what happened at half time but they seems to have gotten the message and played better.

    Thank you Vikings for letting up.

    They were questioning themselves why they come out of locker room flat after the half.

    It’s been a problem all season.

    That's not the first dumb thing Claypool has done this season, he's immature and acting like a punk.

    I'm still shaking my head in disbelief, what really was that?
    I'm not even mad. Just don't get it.

    The players deserve the criticism, both lines got their asses kicked, Bush and Schobert can't get off blocks.

    The players need to execute better, and the coaches need to do a better job of putting them in a position to succeed.

    No...the Holiday spirit would be...
    Really hope this isn't against board rules. If it is please forgive Me, and I apologize in advance. Just thought it would be funny. Since some considered Die Hard a Christmas movie.
