How can you keep Mike Tomlin after this?

[CrimsonTider]

Everyone was focused on the bad decisions during the game but the Steelers were not prepared

Tom Brady runs a qb sneak on 4th and 1 while big Ben dosent

Not to mention a top 5rb and he doesn't get an INSIDE run on 4th and 1?

Is big Ben changing plays at the line of scrimmage and saying fukk the coaching staff?

Been saying it for years (obviously) but no one listens because "but his regular season record!" "no losing seasons!" and "won a Super Bowl 9 years ago!"

Can't even tell you how frustrating it is to see your team absolutely LOADED with talent, maybe the most talented team in the league, and continually underachieve in the playoffs and underachieve against teams that, on paper, have zero business beating you.

We scored 42 on the best defense in the league based PURELY off spectacular individual efforts by the offensive players. Haley had nothing to do with any of those TDs we scored. And the defense? I don't care if we were missing #50. We played 10 of 11 opening day starters on defense, and they gave up 45 points to the worst offense in the playoffs. Do NOT speak to me about talent. That was all coaching. You cannot score 42 against Jacksonville and LOSE. The 4th down play calls, the absolutely moronic onside kick, the horrific game plans on both sides of the ball (luckily mammoth individual efforts made up for the shyt on one side), the sheer arrogance of looking past a PLAYOFF GAME to the next opponent... Are y'all FINALLY seeing what I've been saying for years?

Meh, sometimes styles just make fights. Jags smacked Pitt twice at home. Jags looked way more physical than the Steelers on both lines which is a pretty good indicator of who wins games. Tomlin had a horrible game but looking at the game objectively I think the Jags were the better team

In that game? Sure

Let’s focus on the Steelers D v Jacksonville O, because Jacksonville’s D was DEFINITELY not better than Ben/Brown/Bell/Bryant.

Jacksonville’s offensive line doesn’t dominate other teams they play. They’re pretty pedestrian. Fournette hasn’t had a great game in weeks! Bortles is who he is and their receivers are who they are. Against other defenses, they are average as hell.

And Cam Heyward is an ALL-PRO DE, and Tuitt is also one of our highest performers. Those two were completely invisible. Wtf? How is it that an average offensive line can dominate a defensive line that plays very well against most other teams? It’s not a matter of their O being more talented than our D in general. They were just more READY and had a better plan. So they were better yesterday because their coaches were smarter during the week, smarter during the game, and the players were more ready than ours, not looking forward to playing the next team.
