    People want him gone because he sucks. The only thing I hate is watching this team be embarrassed by bad teams.

    Point your finger squarely at Ben. He was awful in both losses. Also it doesn't help that are defense is riddled with injuries.

    I guess you should realize at this point that every team at the professional level has the talent to win. You should also realize that the league is full of parity. Playing on the road, missed tackles, turnovers, injuries, ect. can level the playing field between teams. Another thing Steelers fans need to drop is the superiority complex they have. Understanding why the team loss makes it a bit easier to deal with the disappointment of a loss. It doesn't simply boil down to the coach sucks.

    Unacceptable loss. The fact this team and Baltimore could
    be tied at 4-3 after next week is a disgrace.

    We lost to maybe the second worst team in NFL. We may not win another away game the way this season is going.

    I am not the biggest Tomlin fan but if you go back and look at the stats in the games against 'lesser teams' in almost every one of them Ben played badly.

    So, we're equal to Miami in talent? The ridiculous defensive scheme(s) we play are acceptable? Who's responsible for all those missed tackles?

    Ben was hurt. But all these "we lose when Ben plays bad" remarks are missing the point. Why is he playing bad? Ben struggles when we don't block for him, when we drop balls, when the D/ST leave bad field position and get us behind. Both Tomlin and Haley said the Eagles loss was a good thing because the players weren't listening to them. Looks like they didn't listen again, i.e., didn't show up. That's on the damn head coach.

    Tomlin wasn't at his best today, but he isn't the only one to blame.

    Of course he's not the only one to blame. The players were bad. The coordinators were bad. The refs were bad. We have lots of injuries. It takes a lot going wrong to be completely embarrassed by a bad team. What does Tomlin do well though? What would we lose if we replaced him? I simply do not see any value add there for a man with absolute job security.
