    5 reasons Tomlin didn't deserve new contract

    The Steelers have a future Hall of Fame head coach, but these five condemning playoff stats prove that Mike Tomlin did not deserve a contract extension.


    Well, there you have it. But Tomlin got a new deal regardless. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Yea, him!!!!!!!! Bottom half of coaches in the league.

    If I may pile on a bit, I believe they've also been outscored 66-0 in the first quarters of the past 5 losses. So much for having the team ready to play.

    This year with all the build up over the delay and weather in Buffalo, it was pretty clear Tomlin came out expecting a plodding repeat of the Ice Bowl while Buffalo came out like Jamaican bobsledders at a track meet.

      Bingo. I have a feeling that if Tomlin was in his office, and he told his supporters at planetsteelers to drop to their knees under his desk, they'd all drop to their knees!

        Yes we would have beat Buffalo easy by making victory dependent on Mason Rudolph outgunning Josh Allen in a snow storm.

        Allen throws laser darts that slice through wind, literally MADE to be least impacted by a blizzard. Our guy throws pretty RAINBOWS.

        Not only does Allen play in Buffalo HE PLAYED COLLEGE IN WYOMING.

        Allen would quote Bane during the game:

        ?You think the cold is your ally? I was raised in the cold, molded by it?

        In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

          It looked like though he thought Buffalo would play conservatively and follow suit in the cold. Instead they came out like a track meet and it was 21-0 before Tomlin knew what hit him. Playing more aggressive seemed to work better the previous 3 weeks. Tell me his plan wasn't to win 19-16?

            Their ELITE QB Allen throws laser darts that slice through wind, literally MADE to be least impacted by a blizzard. Our guy who would RIDE THE PINE in Buffalo throws pretty RAINBOWS that look like punts.

            Yeah, if we went in making is a battle of quarterbacks in a shootout we win easy.

            It has nothing to do with expectating Buffalo to play conservative. OUR ONLY CHANCE was for our offense to play keep away with ball control drives that eat up clock and for our defense to create mistakes. Allen DOES have those games.

            We could do neither.

            But that does not mean it was a strategic mistake not to try to simply outgun a FAR SUPERIOR QB in an environment that favors him greatly.

              You know damn well that "Cool Shades" thought he was gonna win 19-16 or 16-13, something like that, and then brag about it "being beautiful football" afterwards. Instead we had to - immediately - hear afterwards how the turnovers were to blame for the loss. No, not the "patty cake" D, who couldn't make a tackle on a QB for a 30-yard run, or an offense that couldn't make a 1st down.

                    Totally, I think he definitely envisioned one of those "we didn't blink" battles of attrition until Buffalo came out and blew the doors off to start the game.

                        We do need to win a playoff game. But TJ who has had one good HALF for his career in the playoffs needs to show up himself to DESERVE anything.

                            Five reasons Tomlin DID deserve a new contract:

                            1. Rooney wanted it
                            2. Rooney wanted it
                            3. Rooney wanted it
                            4. Rooney wanted it
                            5. Rooney wanted it

                            Let me add:

                            6. Rooney could care less what anti Tomlin fans think or want
                            "My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"

                              There is truth written here.... the defensive disappearing acts are as much to blame as the offensive ineptitude.

                              The reality, though, is the Steelers limped into the playoffs with a defense featuring old man Jack alongside the vaunted Robinson at LB, a backup, well-traveled CB in Rowe, a now FA Peterson who was what we thought he was most of last season. The offense? Well, the most important position in football with a mismatch for the day....
