Like I said, don’t underestimate Tomlins ability to fuck things up.How exactly was it Tomlin's fault that the defense couldn't recover a fumble that would have sealed the game for Pittsburgh? How was it Tomlin's fault that both Pickens and Jefferson dropped balls that were thrown right to them?

Still miscommunications, gouged for 450yrds to a team that was last in rushing. 95 and 70 yard drives in the 4rth qtr. I could go on. He’s getting skewered today on the fan.
It can't always be the coaches when they lose, and the players when they win. That's a child's viewpoint. Uneducated, lacking nuance. Originally Posted by tommy156

He’s getting skewered today on the fan.That still doesn't answer any of the questions I asked. It's not all Tomlin's fault, as much as you'd love to make it so. Defense recovers that fumble, we're not even having this conversation. Pickens and Jefferson make those catches, we might not even have needed the fumble recovery.
This too
“And WTF is up with a running play on 3rd and 8 at Dallas’s 28 freaking yard line!!!?
Come on man….thats high school play calling.“

How’s that been working out for the last 5yrs? That means everything has to be perfect to win. QBs are shackled. You’re not beating the better teams that way. Even the bad ones.
As with everything in team sports, execution is every bit as important as coaching. Originally Posted by tommy156

Steelers would win more than 6 or 7 games this year.
The lads ARE 3-2. ... Gonna have peaks and valleys throughout
the season. ... Other sides got many of the same problems.
... Let's all try to hold our water a bit while we continue
to let this programme play-out. Would a record of 5-3
after 8 games IMPRESS people??
