Tomlin gets extended

Don't know all the chatter but can ascertain from speculation.

I like the extension. I may be on the minority

 

I have another word for it.

 

They are! Thanks...

 

Also, something called common sense. You continually do bad but disregard it. Father time gets all of us. Was a great coach at one time. Now he is doing nothing but hurting his legacy, unless he goes another 4 yrs without a losing season, but got to win when it matters, playoffs?
Here is some fun facts:
Noll - 16-8 in playoffs 4-0 in Superbowl
Tomlin- 8-10 in playoffs 1-1 in Superbowl
Yes, Tomlin will finish with all time wins as a Steelers HC. But, remember Noll coached in 12 game seasons.

 

We also haven't had a real quarterback in 6 years since Ben's elbow injury. If Russ can still play, that will likely change given the championship-caliber defense they've built

 

It's a good, but not great defense. I don't think it's championship caliber. If Heyward is out... the run game suffers. Steelers don't have his replacement yet. ILB and CB are still question marks.

 

Yeah especially this defense has given 30 points or more in each of the last 5 playoff games

 

As alway

As always stats don’t tell the whole story

 

You should have just pointed at them and said......and what have You won.....very simple. They have a Qb that is paid very very well, and some yahoos think is awesome......so even with this so called awesome Qb......what have they won.....hell what have they ever won???

 

Here is some more fun facts......One didn't deal with free agency untill the time right before He stepped down......Just imagine for instance of building a team, and not having to worry about losing a great player every year.....that is why one had over 10 HOF players on the team at one time......, and the other Had two. Now that may not be a big difference to some but having 10 HOF players on a team for most Your career at the same time and only having one , or two is a significant difference......even for the slow

 

4 AFC Championships in the 90's

 

And that equates to how many SBs????
I mean really.....people laugh at the no losing seasons, but I laugh at winning a playoff game like that's a SB.
There are two parts .....win enough to make the playoffs......then win enough to reach the SB. You don't get more points for winning a playoff game. Maybe they can put that on their banner......we won some playoff games.....LoL.....
If We weren't making the playoffs I could get people's complaints, but we are......after that there is only the SB....which....I can't for the life of Me remember the Bills getting to since the 90s. So if You want to pick , and choose......let's take Your they've Won 5 playoff games ......We've been to the SB 4 times since they have lost their last one. See what You can do if You just pick parts You want to use. What a Bills fan says to me has no effect. Hey win A SB.....then talk to me.

 

That's great .....We've went to 4 SBs , and won two since that time......Bills fans.....win just one SB before You talk.....just one.

 

At least the Bills lost to a dynasty 3 times in the playoffs in the last few years....It's very painful for them especially since they lost 2 very close games in the last 2 playoffs game vs them, but that doesn't make them bad...It's true that their head coach gets outcoached come playoffs time by Andy Reid everytime, so he deserves the heat for that big time, even if Reid is one of the best head coaches ever

In the 2010s, the Steelers only played the Patriots once and it was an embarrassment.

 

And again that brought how many rings???? Why are We comparing a team with no rings to a team with 6???
Yeah they won playoff games.....that's cute.

 

To a degree you are correct about free agency. Back when Noll was coaching even back than without the chaos of free agency, winning back to back Superbowls was hard to do.
Now fast forward to the free agency that we have now, that you said teams lose players every year, we got the Pats and Chiefs that won back to back Super Bowls. Hmmmm, im sure it isnt their HC or his staff that are responsible for this?!
I get your loyalty as a fan to Tomlin, and I hope Im wrong being a lifelong Steeler fan, but his best days are done coaching. A plus his first 4 years, C minus the rest of his career. Very impressive not having a losing season, not impressive not winning a playoff game for 7 years. Cant blame it on the players as there has been different players in them 7 years. Btw, problems are deeper than just our HC.

 

It really does feel like the Steelers have been in football purgatory for the last 10+ years now under Tomlin, and I don't expect anything to change in the next 3 years. I think it's a big mistake to continuously reward Tomlin for his mediocrity, and I don't give a damn about his overrated non losing streak. Tomlin talks about leading by example, but how can he expect his team to improve if he himself never improves as a head coach?

 

I'll have you know they went to FOUR straight superbowls!!!!! So there

 

I've never compared the entire history of the Steelers vs Bills, I'm only talking about recently

 

Oh I bet that sucked as a Bills fan losing 4 straight Superbowls! I kind of felt sorry for them…not!
