    Agree. The DL do just about nothing fir pressure

    IF They had an interior dl man who get pressure it would vastly improve the def

    Cam n Larry O get little pressure
    TJ is dbl n chipped from the same off formation for most of season n Tomlin has done nothing to adjust period

    Slide 2 dl to Watt's side, force 1 on 1s n get pressure

    Or blitz

    On the potential 4th n 2 decline the penalty, bring the house n likely get off the field

    Dude, get over your hero worship.

    2 things can be (and are) true at once:

    Tomlin has this team with a better record than most expected and made some decisions along the way that got us to this point.

    AND

    This Tomlin led team just lost a game - to an inferior opponent - in a manner all too familiar... to inferior opponents.

    Right, I think their D-line is even worse than the O-line. They need a NT that can stuff the middle, and a DE (or 2) that can rush the passer.

    My god, if he only had you on the phone during the game we would have won.

    yes they lost, and they may lose another game someday with this coach or any other. I wonder if the previous coaches went through this.

    Ah, you must be younger. Ask me some time about how they wanted Cowher run out of town on a rail because he lost 5 AFCCGs. Not "didn't win a playoff game in 7 years and only 3 in 13." Missed the SB by ONE GAME 5 times.

    This is the Pittsburgh Steelers. We measure success by championships here. Getting excited about not having a losing season is something... losers do.

    Were you not on the internet during Cowher's years? Maybe didn't take part on boards or Usenet?

    Trust me. He got it just as bad for more success.

    I was just a kid for most of Noll's dynasty (which I consider ended after the 83 season). And the internet / social media wasn't really a thing toward the end / downside of his career. I also didn't live in Pittsburgh to hear local sports radio. But I'm sure even Noll was feeling heat from fans at times towards the end.

    Not on internet during Cowher. Yes they probably got beat up on but not like this guy does. They hate the guy for winning or losing.

    No. Dude. They get frustrated for his tendencies. And like it or not, he's going to share blame when they lose. Period.

    I think he should share it! If you can read at all and actually comprehend the meaning, look at the context of the posts on here. They are not slamming the team, they slam him alone. That is what I’m trying to convey to you. I’m sure he makes mistakes just like every coach, player and ref does. That’s not what these folks say, they blame everything on him completely. Then the throw stupid **** around like Vrabel would fix everything, even though he crashed and burned in Nashville.

    You guys left out that

    You don't tug on Superman's cape

    You don’t spit into the wind

    You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger

    And you don’t mess around with Jim....or Slim.

    And the reverse is true as well. There are many in here who will NEVER accept any criticism of him. Nothing is ever his fault. He's the only reason we win, and it's everyone else's fault when they lose.

    Well at least we don’t have to spend another week hearing all that “Steelers control their own destiny” talk.

    They blew it in less than one week. This is why we can’t have nice things.

    Definitely a cringe worthy play. Just one of many.

    Cleveland was down to their 4th LT, and he looked better than any tackle we have.

    More worried about the O-Line than QB play. Russ took some shots tonight, and never have time in the pocket.

    This one had trap game written all over it. Bad weather game away from home against a hated division rival, and on a short week after an absolute slog victory against the Ravens.

    I’m as disappointed as anyone but these things happen to every team. The Browns beat the Ravens not long ago. Their season is over so these division games are their Super Bowls.

    The team is still in a good spot at 8-3 and a kick in the ass like they got last night may be no harm. They now have a mini bye to work a few things out. We need to be realistic about what can be achieved on offence with this personnel however. The pass catching group is putting a very firm ceiling on the offence.

    Only positive is the national media can get off the MT coach of the year nonsense. Guy is a complete fraud and the end of this season will prove it yet again.

    Pretty bad a drunk guy in Colorado knew what play they were gonna call. I’m sure the Browns Defensive coordinator knew

    The offense scored a couple TDs in the 4th one on a short field turnover but they are regressing again. Can’t see an offense of this caliber winning any playoff game against a decent team. Especially because now we will likely be on the road.

    That makes the decision even dumber. It's one thing if he was concerned that they couldn't stop a fourth-and-short all night, but giving them another down over five yards in those conditions made no sense. If they do kick and make it, at least the Steelers get the ball back with time to do something.
