How stupid can Mike Tomlin be to give the other team bulletin board material before an upcoming game? Doesn't he know that will only motivate the other team to play harder and beat the Steelers?
Oh wait...
Steelers' Mike Tomlin Provides Big-Time Bulletin Board Material For Cincinnati Bengals
Nov 30, 2024
"[The Cincinnati Bengals] are a good football team, but like Bill Parcells says, 'you are what your record says you are,'" Tomlin said. "They haven't won the close ones, but I doubt that has affected their feeling about themselves. They got some talented players. They just hadn't made some plays in some waning moments, really kind of in all three phases."

We've already gone over this earlier in this thread. I never posted that I WANTED five wins. I said that five wins would be good IF it got Tomlin fired, but since I knew that five wins WOULDN'T get Tomlin fired I wasn't rooting for it.
But maybe if you post your lie often enough you'll get some of the geniuses here to believe it.
This is the case.Wilson has by far the best season for a steelers QB since the 2018 season,the last year of the prime of Roethlisberger
- - - Updated - - -
The difference this year,they have a chance to win even when the defense gave up 20 points or more.They had no chance in the last few years when the defense gave up 20 points or more unless the steelers had 1-2 defensive TD like the game in week 2 vs browns last year
They won by giving up 27 and 31 points just in the last month
Spot on PB
Also on 3rd and long isnt the end of the drive. Russ gives them a chance to convert

Dan Campbell favored over Mike Tomlin, Kevin O’Connell for Coach of the Year
Published December 2, 2024
Lions coach Dan Campbell is the betting favorite to win the NFL’s Coach of the Year award.
Campbell, who took over a Lions team that was perhaps the NFL’s worst franchise and has them at 11-1, has +120 odds for Coach of the Year at DraftKings.
The two coaches with the next-shortest odds are Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell, both of whom are at +400.

Campbell should have won last year. Taking a doormat franchise into contenders.

All 3 deserve to win this award right now!
Campbell deserved it last season over Stefanski and it shouldn’t have been close. The Lions were favored this year to do big things. He’s not a coach of the year candidate anymore. Tomlin is doing more with less and was supposed to be one of the worst teams in the AFC. lol. Same with O’Connell. Deserves it way more than Campbell.
If Campbell deserves it, so does Andy Reid.
This post is the epitome of making facts fit a preconceived narrative. Most people, I think, would be very impressed with a coach who can lead a team to win games even though the offense struggled so much that they couldn't even score a TD. Moreover, it's even more impressive because that same team is now nine points out of being in the top 10 in the league for points scored. Moreover, they are first in the division, second in the conference, and 7th in the league for points differential (scored vs. scored upon). Again, that's with two games won without a TD.
I think a less biased view says that's pretty impressive.
I think most people wouldn't be too impressed with a coach whose offense was so bad that there were two games (so far) that they couldn't even score one TD. This is a classic case of praising a coach for overcoming problems that he himself caused. It's like praising a guy who was driving drunk for safely making it home even though he was drunk.
Anyone who looks at the Steelers and only sees the playoff win drought is just being stubborn and willfully ignorant.
Since 2018, the Steelers shouldn't have even made the playoffs. Most teams with their QB situation do not. Most teams in that situation pick high in the draft after everyone is fired and the roster is gutted. Mike Tomlin went 3-3 with Duck Hodges...the guy who fell out of the entire league and most/all (??) of the other football leagues after his stint with the Steelers. That remains one of the most ludicrous coaching jobs ever seen.
This season the team has dealt with the following:
- injuries along the offensive line that would cripple most teams. Seriously, how many teams are getting away with starting a rookie center (who is making the calls) and a guard who last played at some low level Saturdays? Is it no other teams? I'm going to go ahead and assume that.
- the team has ONE functional WR. One. Two if you squint in CA3's direction. Seriously....find me another team wining this many ballgames with a similar WR room.
- The QB situation. Honestly, I can not remember a coach handling this type of QB situation better. Seriously. Most teams and coaches would have totally bungled this. Tomlin insisted on doing something that EVERYONE said couldn't be done. Not only did he do it, but he got BOTH QB's to buy in and seemingly thrive.
For the QB stuff alone, Tomlin should be handed any and all coaching awards.
One of the best stats for Tomlin,only Trubisky has a losing record with minimun 2 starts or more in the Tomlin era....The rest are .500 or better like Ben,Batch,Vick,Landry Jones,Dennis Dixon,Kenny,Rudolph,Duck,Wilson and Fields)!
Before this season,who was our second best QB after Ben under Tomlin.Old Charlie Batch maybe?
The quarterback room has significantly improved compared to last season, especially considering that the Steelers snagged JF and RW on a blue-light special! Honestly, I can’t understand how anyone could complain about this season.
Byron Leftwhich?
Also that stat is ludicrous. I suspect no other coach comes close.
For instance....look at the Niners season. They had injuries up and down the roster. On track to miss the playoffs. I would bet a great deal of money that the same team helmed by Mike Tomlin would be 3 wins better.
