    Unless Tomlin could've played QB, I don't think that is realistic.

    5ints against Jacksonville
    4ints + Fumble against Browns

    Last night could've been another 3-4ints but KC guys can't catch lol

    This is spot on. I was done with Tomlin after the mid-2018 meltdown vs. the AFC West, but this season the team’s record was better than the sum of its parts. The worst offensive line in the league. An aging QB who was all heart, and no arm. Not having 2 of our 3 defensive linemen from Day 1, and the strongest part of our team last year was that threesome on the D line.

    I’m not opposed to cleaning house of coaches and finding new leadership, but getting to 9-7-1 with the players and OC we had was pretty surprising.

    You are giving yourself way too much credit. I gave you the mocking you deserved.

    Butler was calling the defense against the Chiefs, it didn't matter they wasn't going to stop the Chiefs the whole game with an inept offense.

    The reason its BS is because that makeshift line that you are blaming as the primary reason behind the quality of each offense was able to beat not only the BILLS but also the #1 seeded TITANS Your argument doesnt hold water and you cant pick and choose what game to use to demonstrate the weaknesses. For the record I agree with you, our line sucks, most of us have been stating this all year. Tomlin built that, he takes the blame.

    Well with all this experience he is supposed to have, after 15 years when is it going to show up. Never had a losing season is BS. His teams barely make average at best.

    It’s bs an yet no one else has ever done it.

    Average at best?

    One 13-3 seasons
    Four 12-4 seasons
    Two 11-5 seasons
    Two 10-6 seasons
    One 9-6-1 season
    Two 9-7 seasons
    Three 8-8 seasons

    .654 winning percentage. Thats a little better than average.

    His playoff record is fair game and I understand people wanting a coaching change but there is no denying his regular season record has been good.

    He also had a second-quarter fumble that was returned 50 yards for a touchdown. That put the Steelers down 21 and had them scrambling the rest of the way to try to catch up.

    He made a couple of big mistakes early that helped the Jaguars build a 21-point lead, then nearly brought the Steelers back. The defense failed miserably in that game, but the early turnovers didn't help.

    Was He not strip sacked???
    If so I don't put that on Ben. I give it 2 the defense player. I can't remember.
    If Watt strip sacks a guy I don't say terrible Qb. I say great job Watt.

    I don't have a problem with criticisms of Tomlin unless people want to make him out to be mediocre or less than mediocre coach. The organization could fire him tomorrow and I wouldn't care.

    The Steelers organization is such that they need stability. Stability to carry on the winning tradition. Without stability then you become a team continuously searching for stability.

    The most successful teams over the past several years are the teams with stability at the HC position.

    Pocket collapsed on Ben after 3 seconds. Had a 300 lb DE on his back. Any QB could have fumbled there.

    Empty backfield so Bell wasn't there as a safety option/to block/or to make them think draw. Beautiful for a pass rusher.

    He held the ball too long and didn't protect it as the pass rush collapsed on him.

    The quarterback has to be aware of that. The pocket collapsed on him, yet he still failed to protect the ball. It wasn't all his fault, but the quarterback absolutely deserves some blame on that play.
