Thread: its time to blame Tomlin

    Big Tomlin supporter here, but yes, some responsibility needs to fall on his shoulders. The Steelers lose a lot of games they should be winning. They also win a lot of games they have no right to win.

    It looks like an 'attitude' thing. Now, while a bit of this has to come from the coaches, it also comes from the senior players, who have had a good long career of beating these lower sides. Could it be that the older, more experienced players feel a certain amount of 'entitlement' that they should be beating these teams, and perhaps switch off a little more? Where were Hampton, Keisel, Harrison, Polamalu when the Defense needed a big stop? Not saying they are bad players, but they could have fallen into a culture of 'expectation'. If ever there were signs that this team needs an injection of young 'leaders', it's games like this.
    The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?

    Light up the darkness.

    Take a look at the Chargers first, all of their losses have come from 7 or less OR something of that nature. Along with a rusty Ben and this is what you have.

    so what?

    you still have to be able to handle a 4-8 team at home. This looks like a sloppy and undisciplined football team. Couple more ST penalties again today. Why was the coach fired 2 weeks before the season again?

    I don't think Ben was all that rusty. Chargers D was zoned in. This team had nothing to lose and they just brought it. It happens, although I think it's happening a little more often than it should.

    How would you recommend Tomlin get grownassed men to 'get more pumped up' to play? Should he give better pre game speeches? Yell at them all week? Really chew them out on the sideline? It's on the players as far as showing up to play. Only think I would blame Tomlin on is crappy drafting.
