There comes a time when Tomlin needs to step in ... the problem is he doesn't have a backbone. Some obvious things Tomlin should address that continues to hinder this team.
1) DJ is not a starter in the NFL.. not even for the chiefs. He should never see the field unless a injury occurs.
2) The age of the defense. Lebeau needs to let the youngsters see the field. The youngsters on the D need to play more along the D-line (McLendon & Hood especially) as well as the secondary. If the d-line didn't suck so bad and teams were forced to throw like last year, our poor secondary would be exposed. It's time that Allen and Brown see the field.
3) The o-line. I'm tired of seeing this year after year after year. It's unacceptable that this hasn't been addressed.
4) Timmons is overrated as an all-around ILB. He's definitely above average in pass coverage but he is not a top tier ILB on running plays. Comparing him to Patrick Willis is laughable if you actually watch the two play.
5) Arians, the stubborn bastard needs to be replaced. We say it year after year. This guy has weapons at this disposal and our offense is pathetic. Granted our o-line is terrible but his stubbornness worsens the situation. The run run pass play calls are terribly predictable. The long developing plays w/ a poor o-line is unacceptable. And not giving Redman his share of carries is unacceptable. Oh yea, and #1 (DJ playing) is unacceptable.
If this doesn't get corrected and corrected soon, the Rooneys need to step in.
I'll never question Tomlin's intelligence because I think he is a football junkie and a smart guy but I question the guys backbone and ability to take control when need be. If he can't do that, then this team will continue to decline and he should be shown the door.

This thread is some trademark overreaction and gives Steelers fans a bad name. We are spoiled with several super bowl appearances in the past decade and people are already jumping ship. You guys are in serious need of some perspective, go be Browns fans for a few years.
