Honestly, right now I don't get people attributing all the playcalling to Ben. The plays are designed by the coaches, with help from the players; Ben may choose which one to call, but the responsibility of the design belongs to coaches.
It appears to me that the coaches have managed to get their act together. The players have also managed to get *their* act together -- if we didn't have stupid turnovers in the first two games, we be speaking differently just now. They're executing. Overall, this is beginning to look like the tail end of the 2000 season -- it was a precursor to a pretty good 2001. With some luck (fingers crossed) we make it to the playoffs this season itself without waiting for next year to put it all together.
My one gripe against Tomlin is that the team regularly comes out flat in key games. We'll know if that assessment is wrong on Thursday.
