Like I said, don’t underestimate Tomlins ability to fuck things up.

Did he limit ABs snaps?

Something is going on with Pickens.

... I think the Steelers need to lighten up the colour shade
of the pants they were... switch the yellow-gold over to
the whitish-gold - so it looks more the colour of Swiss cheese
- like their running defence. ...
More holes in it than the Harris/Walz economic plan.

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?

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.

One thing that is Tomlins fault is he always has an underperforming defense. Steelers defense has never been great since he forced Dick Lebeow out. Receivers running wide open, gapping holes in the line and confused looks on players faces. Is his scheme too complicated? Why not run more man to man if it is. It just isn’t working despite most of our money going to that side of the ball. Can all of these middle linebackers be that bad?……or is it the scheme?

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.

He plays not to lose. He’s in charge of the defense. 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.

This too

QBs can’t produce when you won’t let them.

Coulda used a little help, Steelers.

Us REAL Texas football fans don't need to see Dallas win anything!

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.

As with everything in team sports, execution is every bit as important as coaching.

True. But it’s Tomlins philosophy of playing conservative on offense and try to win with defense. 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.

They lost to two 2/10 teams in a row last year. The Cowboys and Colts aren’t great teams either. When they do make the playoffs, they get trucked.
I was a Tomlin supporter until about 3yrs ago. I can’t support him anymore.

Open it up Tomlin

[Salty Again]

... Lemme remind you mates that not many of us believed the
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??

This is the easy part of the schedule. They needed to get off to a good start. Last 7 games are brutal. They should have won at least one of the last two games.
