That is all.
Bring backs Cowher!!!
I didn't defend him after last week and I never will again. He's a joke. Never prepared to play bad teams. There is no excuse or argument for his tenure here since 09. I'm so tired of being embarrassed.
Trade Ben. Sell the team to Mark Cuban. Retire LeBeau. Fire Haley.
Fire that senile old fart LeBeau right now
It is time. Tomlin is not a winner anymore.
I really can't defend him anymore. Not going to try to either. Unless this team somehow turns things around and makes the playoffs and makes a deep run, I think he needs to be given his walking papers.
Tomlin, Haley and Lebeau all need to go.
I wonder if James is re-thinking his decision to come back now?
He'll blame everyone except himself, the complete opposite of Rivera last week, who put the blame on the coaching staff. The only thing Tomlin is consistent at is gaining more weight each year.
I don't disagree with the OP, but the problems with this team go higher than Tomlin.
You know I've said this too. Ever since Art II took over the reigns of this team, they have gotten progressively worse. But yet, not many people want to blame him for what's happened. Still though, Tomlin is a large part of the problem. The lack of discipline and preparation is alarming, and that starts with him.
Tomlin can not make William Gay and Cortez Allen better cornerbacks. That is the single biggest reason this team lost today. Tampa's outside receivers beat their man (whoever it was) like a drum all day long.
add colbert to the list as well. we are reaping the benefits of not ever drafting a cornerback right now in the past few years before the 4th+ round.
Which, I might point yet again, was why I was upset that they passed on Dennard and took Shazier. Tomlin was in the room when the pick happened, so he bears some responsibility for not addressing that glaring need. Colbert deserves far more, though, not just for that pick but also for not addressing it in FA when there were decent options available for a reasonable price.
Still don't think it was the right move long term. Bring in Howard Jones and let him learn. This team is not going anywhere. Time to accept that and give the younger guys some reps. McCullers should be dressed from now on. It is such BS to see him on the inactive list. That may mean sitting Keisel, tough.
Tuitt also needs more playing time.
I guess. Personally, I see a guy who has no chance to make anywhere near NFL money anywhere else going for one last payday. And at 36 years of age, he's still a young man everywhere except on the gridiron.
Let's face it, NOBODY is going to hire him for a studio job. Not with his candor. He won't sit there and carry water for the league and push Goodell's agenda. And we all know how he feels about Goodell himself.
I have pointed out the 15 yard penalties multiple times - maybe not on this thread. But I ask you what is Tomlin to do? Multiple facemasks and taunting penalties are not coaching deficiencies. That is on an individual player to do his job properly.
Also do to the lack of talent depth on the roster, as I mentioned elsewhere, Tomlin can not do anything in game. Gonna sit Allen so BW Webb can play? Gonna sit Heyward so Cam Thomas plays more? Going to sit Beachum so Mike Adams can get Ben killed?
Everyone is reacting like this was a championship caliber team that got beat today. This is an AVERAGE NFL team that got beat by another AVERAGE NFL team. Not very shocking.
Now they lose to Jacksonville, and make room on the fire everybody train for me!
