Tomlin got these boys playing hard

[Ernie]

Juju been a great teammate this season when he could easily start barking about not getting the ball.

But I am disappointed with his play. Guy has not been the clutch WR he has been in the past. Some drops really hurt.

I think he had 3 catches for 44. That drop he had could have put him together a decent game stat wise. The fumble earlier in the year that cost us a chance at the end of the game really hurt... hopefully his confidence isn't shaken too bad.

[Oh wow]

JuJu has definitely been a disappointment this year. Almost had another drop that was intercepted.

[Oh wow]

Im okay with this... no question the defense is the primary reason for our (Tomlin's success) this year. Undoubtedly the chemistry in the locker room has helped Tomlin and staff focus on the task at hand... minus the distractions that AB and Bell brought to the team. Truth be told, Im sure the lack of coverage is a welcome change for the guys in the locker room. I'd imagine some of them have even found a love for the game again.

In terms of what our team could have been two years ago with this defense... the possibilities are endless. I wouldn't put it past that clown AB to bench himself or do something completely stupid to blow up the team.

Maybe I’m reaching but it just sounds like people are trying to use the recent winning streak to bash former players and that doesn’t make sense to me.

As critical as I am of Ben I’m not going to say the lack of a radio show or not having Ben’s passive aggressive leadership is a reason Tomlin is doing a great coaching job.

Tomlin and company are doing what they have always done but they finally have the talent on D for execution.

Seriously, our offense almost scored more points for the other team than for us.

You are reaching... while downplaying the importance of team chemistry as it relates to success in team sports.

and that offensive touchdown was all on our "All pro" center. Not saying you are doing this... but some "Knee jerk" posters on here would love to put that one on Rudolph also.

Three of Rudolph’s four INTs this year hit the intended receivers in the hands first.

Tomlin's doing some great work, but with the hamstrung offense, I think we should be trying more on ST. Finally we get Johnson on PR and he looked electrifying compared to Switzer fair catching or running out of bounds. Of course he fumbled and we're back to Switzer, but I have to believe there's more options for PR and KR duties.

Our ST has to help our O more.

And we need to stop fumbling. Tomlin should take some air out of the balls. According to the Pats, it helps.

[Oh wow]

I really hope Switzer isn’t back there next week. Dude is awful.

Anyone who defended his roster spot needs to walk the plank.

That catch at the 5 was so selfish.

I've been hopeful about him, but finally gave up. I liked his game in college and really thought if he got a full offseason with the team under his belt, he'd perform. Unfortunately, I think he looks like he plays scared. I think he probably has the talent, but maybe he's just too little and took a hit he didn't like or something. And if it's true, no shame in it. He is literally way smaller than the average NFL player.

Yep... and one of those receivers is not even on the roster anymore.

I agree.

But the flip side of this is that he had some bobbles in college and preseason.

I like putting DJ back there, but it might come at the cost of some poorly timed turnovers.

I'd actually really like to see Sutton get a chance too. Seems like he was sure handed doing it in the preseason. Or maybe I'm misremembering?

[Oh wow]

I’m fine with Switzer just fair catching it unless it’s inside the 10.

That’s his best contribution to the team.

Probably his only contribution to the team unfortunately. He has sure hands for fair catches. But it's painful to watch him try to do anything else with it. He seems to try hard but he's slow without any moves to make anyone miss.

I think this season is Tomlin's best coaching job yet...

naah. fire him. now... other coaches would be undefeated with this mess....
