thank you for writing this, i have been saying all season that the steelers are absolutely miserable to watch, the shittiest best team ever, and this explained why
thanks for sharing! watching them is a really awful experience except that they usually win and i think they've played exactly one game in his 18 years while eliminated from playoff contention. so you at least get a full season of whatever you'd call this experience
Really great article on Tomlin. One slight correction. The article mentions that Fields got the first down on Sunday, but he unfortunately slid a yard short. I wish he had gotten it since the play design was beautiful
Led the team to it. I see how it's not clear though. Brought him in for two run plays and he got them across the sticks even though he had a give read on the second
No idea, that’s not my standard. Getting to the playoffs is very difficult and it’s the first step. Lots of coaches never have winning seasons, lots of coaches go years never seeing the postseason.
If Tomlin is getting a pass, then who deserves one but isn’t getting it?
I love Tomlin, but don’t erase Andy Reid! Lamar is 1-5 against him, and the only loss was on a terrible CEH fumble while they were killing time for a game winning FG.
Reid is great, but I think the difference here is that his teams have been really good. The teams Tomlin has coached against Mr. Jackson (to use a Tomlinism) have no business being this good.
Steelers have had good defenses, or at least high-end talent in the places you need to limit Lamar. And now that ILB has finally been fixed, the whole unit is elite this year.
Yes, finally have ILB sorted and took them a few years to get a good DBs. There was of course Minkah but many others were average. Porter Jr. and Elliot have helped out a lot. Offense has been really rough for a few seasons but a little better this year.
After Wilson clinched the Steelers win against the Commies by drawing them offside on 4th and 1, the media asked Tomlin if he really would have run the play and he said, really: “You know I’m a degenerate.”
