Along those lines, if the O starts slow again and they fall behind, how long if at all until Fields comes in?

It's the same broadcast where he said Tomlin could be fired if he loses in the first round. Lots of opinions out there. -
The Wilson thing is much more likely, Tomlin isn’t going anywhere, but all the flowers people were giving Russ 4-5 weeks ago, including Schlereth, have shriveled up and died.Comment

Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.
Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.
*** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***Comment

What about Fields history makes you think he would have been appreciably better?
I get that you want to blame everything on Tomlin, but that kind of fanatical devotion makes it hard to agree with you when you have reasonable points. The broken clock that's always pointing to the same thing.Comment

Was a good decision to switch to Russ until they buttoned up the game plan again. May as well run the rock fight offense with the better run threat.Comment

That is what is so frustrating about Tomlin. He made a good decision switching from Fields to Russell, AND his explanation of wanting to see if offense could take a step toward a championship made you think he wanted a more balanced offensive attack knowing Fields couldnt throw as accurate or read defenses as well. Then after Russell took the offense up a level, Tomlin & Smith regressesed the offense back to a more conservative run first & second offense that would probably suit Fields better. Like WTF!!Comment

R. Wilson can't run, does not have the urge to risk things, does not use the middle of the field, and falls into sacks.
At least Fields can move so for now he is the better choice.
He is not appreciatively better though..Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

Which is why at this point I would try to extend Fields over Wilson because (1) he's much younger and (2) I think he'll be significantly cheaper too.Comment

I agree with this Windy. I think the poor pass protection is playing a role, but there are a lot of ways to slow that rush down. I'm seeing very little in the way of play calling to do that - at least in this losing streak. It looks like the coaches decided the best way to slow the rush was to establish the run at all costs and it just hasn't worked. Like I stated in another thread, I think the only way the Steelers win on Saturday is by being more aggressive with the passing game - particularly on early downs. If they're going to go down, then at least go out guns a blazin'!sigpic

I don't think our run game is strong. So just running up against a wall isn't a good strategy.
I think we can surprise them if we come out passing on early downs.
And maybe it will lead to fewer 3rd and longs.Comment
