The Mike Tomlin Problem

He is talking playoffs. Fact is OLD MAN Deebo had more tackles, sacks, and QB hits in the 2016 playoffs alone than Watt has had in his post season career.Last edited by Captain Lemming; 01-03-2025, 02:22 AM.sigpic
In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

He won a lot of games and took a team to the Super Bowl before that, traded up for Mahomes, and put him in the best system in the game. He schemes up more wide open plays a week than the Steelers do in a complete season.
He also took over an Eagles team that was 6-9-1 and 3-13 the previous two seasons, and a KC team that was 7-9 and 2-14 the previous two seasons.
Coaching matters. He’s the best coach in the game and head and shoulders above Tomlin.
Also, let’s not act like Mahomes was some can’t miss prospect, he was projected to go late first and be a project. Anyone think he has the same career if he fell to the Steelers and played for Fichtner and Canada?

Imagine drafting the GOAT and making him play in a Fichtner and Canada offense.Last edited by WindyCitySteel; 01-03-2025, 09:01 AM.Comment

This is at least partially true. Although the O did it's best to get an early score for the other team in 2 of the last 3 playoff games (multiple times against CLE).
The D could have played better for sure. But the problem with the last 3 playoff losses isn't the D. It's that the offense was brutal.
Bills game we got down 14 in the 1st. Gave up an 80 yard drive for a TD (this is on the D). Then forced them 3 and out. Then we fumbled inside our own 20 yard line. Bills scored. Now we're down 14 and the Bills are in control.
Against KC, Watt's fumble return was the first points of the game. Here are KC's 1st half drives: 3 and out, 4 play drive 29 yards, 1 play INT, 9 plays 29 yards, fumble returned for a TD, then 2 TDs given up. Pretty impossible to argue that the D didn't do their part in the first half of this game IMO. I think our O got 2 first downs in the half.
Then CLE. Where Pouncey and Ben put together the worst half of playoff football on record.Comment

The D hasn't been stellar for sure. But the D is generally at an NFL level. That hasn't been the case for the offense since Ben got hurt.
Also, it's probably worth it for you to remember that the Jax game is the better part of a decade ago. Not sure how transferable anything from that game is to now.👍 1Comment

Yep. The O put up a bunch of stats against prevent in both those games. And generally shat the bed when the game was within 2 scores (including the DTDs both of those opponents had).
