J.T. Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yeah, if Tomlin goes he will be the diversionary sacrificial lamb. We aren't winning because of coaching, we aren't winning because we have an aging workforce with no RG3-esque young lions to lead us to a new era. That responsibility lies at the feet of the GM.

hammerva Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Anything that Steelers fans say needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Hell, I saw a guy last season throwing Roethlisberger under the bus last season because he kept getting sacked thanks to his shitty O-line and had to force throws because they had no running game. A number of times he would get sacked because he was looking for that best option and once you hit that 4th or 5th option with this shitty offensive line you are just asking for trouble. I have a feeling that is going to happen again this year and they have even less talent to work with. I still think the biggest problem is that you have an offense built for a team that doesn't have the talent. Todd Haley is a 3 yards and a cloud of dust guy and we don't have a Jamaal Charles. Hell we don't even have a Peyton Hillis at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLSigman Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 According to the post-game news conference, Garry Williams will have an MRI on that knee, but it doesn't look good. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/09/09/panthers-lose-garry-williams-to-knee-injury/ <-- According to that, Garry tore both his ACL and MCL.

pipGofern Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I think some Steelers fans forget that during the Cowher era, the team missed the playoffs for three straight years and got bounced after one game in a few playoff runs. :Cowher made the playoffs his first six years as a coach when the team he inherited from Chuck Noll had missed them six of the previous seven years. Tomlin inherited a team one year removed from winning a Super Bowl. He absolutely won with Cowher's team. Tomlin isn't a bad coach but he is basically George Siefert. And blaming the GM shows ignorance of the Steelers Way. Our head coaches get a lot of say in who's drafted. Several of the big busts we've had were supposedly Tomlin's guys. Not to say the GM is blameless. The team hasn't reloaded like they did in the past because so many of their high picks just haven't panned out. But to answer your original question, Tomlin isn't going anywhere for the foreseeable future. They'd have to have 3-4 consecutive years of sub 7 win seasons before that would even begin to be discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is worse than Adam Shefter trying to do the Ray Ray dance. God how many times is that going to be shown. yeah this is pretty damn quick offense. The Skins are already gassed How can tell if that was a backyard pass if it was tipped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Let's also say, Chip Kelly's hatred of field goals is very college. Entertaining sure but there's a 10 point swing that you can argue isn't necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Looks like Chip Kelly has inherited Andy Reid terrible instant replay skills I know this is sick but I would love to see Haynesworth playing defense right now.
