I look at the state of the bottom- feeder teams at this time each year and think to myself "Thank God the Steelers don't pay attention to threads like this".
Firing people in response to disappointing performances is how you end up with the Browns.

no uprooting and entire franchise and taking it to another city and it changing its name , and Old City gets a startup franchise with no talent on the roster and has to start from scratch is how you get the Browns , then desperation and wanting to win and win now changing coaches , GMs and entire staffs every 2 years ( along with philosophies ) making players drafted a year or two ago missfits under the new regime and traded off for pennies on the $ is exactly how you get the BrownsOriginally Posted by GoSlash27
Fire Marvin Lewis?
Blame Marvin Lewis for Cincinnati's out-of-control playoff meltdown
By: Chris Chase | January 10, 2016
Grown men are responsible for their own actions and, therefore, Vontaze Burfict and Adam Jones are to blame for their two stupid, dirty, dangerous and city-crushing penalties that completely handed the Pittsburgh Steelers a game the Steelers had already handed away. But this is Lewis’s team. They’re his men. And they played like clownish, dangerous buffoons for their coach, who showed he had no control over the team he’s been with for over 13 years. For that, Marvin Lewis’s time in Cincinnati should finally be up, four wild-card losses and one wild-card implosion later.
Things were chippy all night, stemming from years of rivalry and a game earlier this year that was equally as contentious. There were personal fouls, dirty hits, fans throwing bottles and an obvious sense that something bad was going to happen to one of these teams and it was likely to be the Bengals with Burfict as the cause. He was out of control. He was pushing over cameras for no reason. Jawing at everyone. Hitting just hard enough to cross the line between tough football and dirtiness. He needed to come out of the game before he lost it for the team that had improbably come back from a 15-0 deficit. But then Burfict did exactly that. It was completely bizarre: You knew Burifct was going to blow it, you just didn’t know how. And when he did, you just had to shrug and say “it was bound to happen.”
After a Pittsburgh interception with 1:50 remaining, the game looked locked up — Cincinnati’s first playoff win since 1990 — right up until Jeremy Hill fumbled the ball on Cincinnati’s first carry after the turnover. Ben Roethlisberger, who had exited the game earlier with a shoulder injury (caused by Burfict — which is why he stayed in the game; he’s a stud on the field), then returned, needing at least 50 yards to get his Steelers in position for a game-winning field goal. It quickly became clear Roethlisberger didn’t have the arm to make big plays, so a slow march it was. At that pace it appeared Pittsburgh might have the time to get into position, but the odds were going to be about as long as the kick.
Enter Vontaze Burfict.
After a Roethlisberger pass to Antonio Brown was overthrown by about five yards, Burfict sprinted in, a good second or two after the play, headhunting all the way. He received a 15-yard penalty and was lucky not to be ejected. Later, Adam Jones touched a ref while trying to get involved in a scrum and gave away another 15 yards.(To be fair, Pacman’s penalty was touchy. He looked like he was going at Steelers assistant Joey Porter, not an official. Given the level of discourse during the game, it was a flag that could have been swallowed. But when you play like the Bengals did for 58 minutes and you have the history that Pacman does, you don’t get the benefit of the doubt.)
In all, the undisciplined Bengals gave Pittsburgh 30 yards and a chip-shot field goal to win. Those 30 yards weren’t going to be easy to come by, not with a quarterback who could barely lift his arm in a driving downpour. But the Steelers were handed them on a black and orange platter. A field goal later and it was 18-16 Steelers and, essentially, the game.
And now the 25-year playoff losing streak continues in Cincinnati and the man at the helm has to be to blame. Again, Burfict and Jones are the selfish children whose actions lost the game, but Marvin Lewis — a fine coach and a fine man — is the father figure who needed to make sure it didn’t happen. When you’ve lost control of your team, you’ve lost your team. Usually, your job comes next.

I have new respect for what Tomlin did to keep this team together. He will admit they weren't perfect, but I haven't seen anything like this since 2005.
After sleeping on it, Birthdefect is a danger to himself and to others. The NFL should give him plenty of time to get his life in order. He should not get on the field again to injure other players as a substitute for superior talent and professionalism.
All Defense!
Tomlin did a pretty nice job keeping his players under control...he needs to work on the coaching staff...lol.

I'm sure that's the frustrating part for the Cincy organization and fans; Burfict has the talent and ability to be a true stud. He *could* be great, but he lacks discipline. What do you do with a guy like that? If you're the Bengals, you lose playoff games and make excuses.

He doesn't just lack discipline. He's an out of control psychopath. That's why so many teams passed on him in the draft.

If Cincy ever wants to win a playoff game, they are going to have to fire Marvin. Marvin really is not a good coach. He and his team always melts in the biggest games and he has never had his team under control (look at the mid-00s with Ochosucko and all the arrests his team racked up)Fire Marvin Lewis?

Report: Bengals have “no plans” to make coaching change
Posted by Josh Alper on January 10, 2016
The Bengals lost to the Steelers 18-16 on Saturday night in a game that they were leading late in the fourth quarter until a Jeremy Hill fumble and personal fouls on Vontaze Burfict and Adam Jones put Pittsburgh in position for a game-winning field goal.
The loss marked the fifth straight year that the Bengals have qualified for the playoffs and lost their first postseason game. It also made coach Marvin Lewis the first coach to ever lose his first seven postseason games. That record and the loss of composure by the team down the stretch led some to wonder if the Bengals might consider making a coaching change after 13 seasons with Lewis at the helm.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that there are “no plans” to make a coaching change at this time. Assuming that doesn’t change in the next few days, Lewis will be back to build on the 112-94 record he’s compiled with the Bengals when the next regular season gets underway in September.
Lewis may be doing that with a new offensive coordinator as Hue Jackson is considered a strong candidate to wind up with a head coaching job now that he’s free to interview with teams and accept any offers that might be coming his way.

Keep on losing too.
All Defense!
Well winners win and losers lose. That's as simple as it gets.
Array title="tube517 has a reputation beyond repute">
If I was Hue Jackson, I would bail ASAP. GTFO dodge.
As I already said, I'm not in the mindset super bowl or bust.
If the Steelers lose against Denver Sunday, I'll accept that, because if we consider that Ben may be limited and that Brown will maybe missed the game, the Broncos are a better team.Even healthy, that would be a big challenge.
But I'm glad we finally won a playoff game and I have hope that the steelers can go to the Super Bowl next season if they are healthy at the right time.

Love him or hate him....everybody has an opinion.
He didn't leave much for the reporters today.
the Dolphins' recent hiring of Adam Gase gives them their 9th different head coach in the last 14 years.
meanwhile, we've had 3 different HC in the last 50 years...
I wont argue that...lol. If the Steelers win the Super Bowl, Tomlin should easily be coach of the year and get a lifetime deal...he would be immune to any of my criticism for as long as he's in Pittsburgh.
Packers have lost seven playoff games under Mike McCarthy. Five of them were on the last play of the game.
Hey, but getting there's good enough, right?
Lol.
Unlucky!

Oh and quick question that's off topic. Are the ads I'm seeing in these threads a result of the Tapatalk app? They appear as posts, if that makes sense.
