Washington Wants Tomlin

[Northern_Blitz]

Our schedule to start the year was daunting. I thought we'd be 3-3 by the break. hoping for 4-2. I thought our defense would still struggle and ben would have to win us games. With what's happened to the team I'm surprised we're actually 2-4. The defense is playing better than I thought. The offense needs no explanation.

Bottom line, who knows what will happen this year? But based on what I thought would happen - it's pretty obvious why i'm not a coach in the NFL.

I think this is a really good point.

I thought it would take longer for the D to play at a high level. I think Bush has lived up to very high expectations and the Fitz signing looks legit.

Edited to add: I think Lambert has the Steelers single season record for fumble recoveries (8 ). Bush has 4 through 6 games. I don't think he'll keep the same pace, but he's having an insane season with 6 turnovers in 6 games.

[Oh wow]

My guess is that if that was directed at a particular player, it was AB.

We had to win AND make sure he got enough touches / yards

I think it’s directed at everyone.

As long as Ben is playing everyone expects a certain level of play.

Now that we are on our 4th QB there is no pressure to pass for 300 and change or run for 200 yards.

Just win and everyone should be happy.

We are all happy we won, right?

Bush is an absolute beast. No two ways about that.

Yep. Looks like an amazing move by Colbert and Co.

I’m not blaming Tomlin or praising him. We beat the bengals ( one of the worse , if not the worse team in the league) ; we beat a charger team with no offensive line and we are going to beat a tanking dolphins team. These are not victories to brag about but they are games we are suppose to win. And we did. No need to blame or praise Tomlin. We are beating the bottom feeders. I’m happy about those victories and happy we have a bye week. Because it’s much needed.

You are also ignoring the fact that we should have beaten the Seahawks, Niners, and Ravens, with major QB issues. In my opinion this team and coaching staff has done a hell of job.

Not the people that want Tomlin fired. The only way Tomlin probably gets replaced is if the team loses badly.

I found that quite interesting myself. He sounded like he was liberated in a sense. Something to keep our eyes on down the line.

The game kinda played like a......dare I say..... Cowher game.

except for the part where the Steelers with a 24 point lead give up 17 unanswered points in the 4th quarter...

I thought the Bolts were likely going to tie it up & send it to overtime ... so glad when we got that pick to seal it.

[Terrapin]

Colbert (and I assume Tomlin) get a ton of credit for making bold moves to get Bush and Fitz. No denying it

[Oh wow]

Winning with 3rd stringers definitely hurts their chances of seeing him removed.

[whatever]

Winning with 3rd stringers definitely hurts their chances of seeing him removed.

Of course losing with pro bowlers gives us hope.

Actually that was not uncommon. That is why people hated the turtle. People would say, "but we almost at lost" because teams would fall just shy of coming back......but they never did, just like last night.

I know Cowher had an amazing record of winning when his team was ahead by more than 10...
