    3rd-&-2

    Darius Butler and Warren Sharp have been RIPPING Keith Butler for his defensive playcalls.

    After the punt on 4th-&-1... they Browns have a 3rd-&-2 at their own 28. It’s about to be the Browns’ third 3-&-out in a row. Ta-da-daaaa!!! In flies Keith Butler to save the Browns’ from losing the game.

    Butler dials up an oldie but goodie. He looks back to the days where he had ILBs covering the opponent’s top WR. Why wasn’t one of the CBS covering the ONLY receiver on the field? Answer: Butler has the DBs covering the TEs and the RB. I iterate, Butler has Spillane covering the ONLY receiver on the field.

    Jarvis Landry obviously coverts... which sparks a long TD drive.

    Luckily for the Browns, Butler kept running that same defense over & over & over. You know: shades of the Chargers game from 2018, where Butler kept putting Bince on the opposition’s #1 receiver (Keenan Allen).

    Luckily for us, Butler will probably stay because the singular brilliance of TJ Watt makes him look better than he really is

    There’s several articles out there that are saying that Tomlin was the one calling the defense on Sunday Night...

    Interesting

    Whatever that playcall is, it needs to be thrown in the trash (so that no matter whom the coordinator is, it can’t accidentally be called ever again).

    After reading around, it appears that Tomlin might be fed up with Butler... and Butler’s contract most likely won’t be renewed.

    Tomlin is 1-5 in his last 6 game, lead the team to another collapse, and is 3-7 in his last 10 playoff games. Tell me again why the Steelers should give him a new contract? Once Ben leaves, he's toast.
    The last time the Steelers won a playoff game it was 2016. That is six years ago. We are keeping the Jets and Lions company. The standard remains the standard.

    Was it Butler or Tomlin. Word is that Tomlin called the defense.

    Sound a lot like an Eagles fan wanting to get rid of Andy Reid.
