Same (was literally defending him on other comment sections 3 weeks ago). I wouldn't say it's disgraceful...but to have our Defense get annihilated in the playoffs again (for like the 5th time in our last 6 playoff games)...we need a change.
Agreed. You need plays just for the playoffs - like the halfback options; timed flea flickers or end arounds we saw in 2005. Big special teams plays. Or novelties on defense. Or an incredibly deep and fired up team. We haven't seen any of that on a Tomlin team in years. In addition time management; key plays off of time outs; red zone play are all terrible. And the team always blows tackles and has stupid penakties because they never discipline themselves during the playoffs. We have reached a point where free agents will not even want to sign w Pittsburgh. You don't want to sacrifice your body for a coach whose lack of drive shows he really is accepting of 9-8. They will no longer be able to resign their players. Time to find a coach who realky wants to win in the playoffs and can innovate - and coach hard all year. Not start 1- 5 and climb to 9-8; or start 8-2 and end 1-5. Tomlin can no longer drive the team or himself to play hard all year.
This sh*t is the definition of insanity. I can no longer watch Tomlins Steelers. Glad Tomlin and Wilson gave the fans a Disney speech in the press conference though ! Made me feel so much better about the teams perfomance. What a joke 😂😂
We all had enough of watching this brand of football. No matter the carousel of coaches and players that have come and gone, it all looks the same. Randy Fichner, Matt Canada, Arthur Smith... It all looks the same! Keith Butler, Teryl Austin it all looks the same! Old Big Ben, Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, Justin Fields, Russell Wilson... IT ALL LOOKS THE F'N SAME! There is only one common denominator in all of this. MIKE TOMLIN! The guy who had a chance to hire Cliff Kingsbury last year who is killing it in Washington, only to hire the guy who makes it look all the same. I'm tired of this brand of football and I'm tired of Tomlinisms. The time has come for change. PERIOD!
Love your patience DK. This was a masterclass in coaching ineptitude and extremely embarrassing for all Steeler fans and players no doubt. No option but to fire him imho.
This organization’s culture and legacy is being chipped away. As a 50 year fan this is what is so hard to accept. The Steelers are bigger than Mike Tomlin. The culture that was built from players of the past is what is being eroded. Art Rooney is allowing it to happen. And so is Mike Tomlin. Yes I too feel bad for certain players. And the ultimate “players coach” needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.
How many in-stadium chants and billboards is this next move going to take before Art Rooney II gets it that he’s going to start losing his fan base? We have higher expectations than Brown’s fans.
DK, I think your fan base will stick around as long as you keep telling it like it is. That doesn’t mean constant negativity-just continuing discussing the problems based on reality and not just wishful thinking. Some people might need a bit of a break from this season but I think we generally enjoy the community you’ve created here.
He needs to get fired! He shouldn’t even have the ability to resign. He should have received the pink slip before he even had the post game conference.
Kirk Herbstreit started calling out the Steelers in the broadcast. They had no heart in a big game against what used to be their chief rival. John Harbaugh no longer took the Steelers seriously. And he was right. Tomlin is finished.
Tomlin is not a coach. He's a motivational speaker and control freak. It's obvious by his lack of coaching tree. He either hires fired coaches or promotes from within to keep total control. Brian Flores was fired by Miami, Arthur Smith fired by Atlanta, Pat Meyer fired by Carolina. Keith Butler, Terryl Austin, Randy Fichtner, Matt Canada, etc promoted from within. Tomlin's ego is getting in the way of the franchise's success and it needs to stop!
@@lukelefever5398 Hiring Flores was wise. Letting him go was the mistake. He should have been promoted to DC and potential Tomlin replacement. The fact he was let go or couldn’t stand to stay is a symptom of the problem.
We CAN NOT get mad at Tomlin for being a stubborn, incompetent, complacent, hype-man of a coach. It is who he is. We CAN send a message to the organization by resisting to go to the games. We can’t get mad at the Steelers organization for not changing if we the fans don’t change either. We are fueling this every year. We are acting like parents who can’t help but spoil their child. Tough love people. It’s time for us to do our part.
It wasn't russ's fault. They didn't have him throw deep until the 3rd quarter. When they let him run his offense, they got 2 quick scores and it looked like an NFL offense finally.
Tomlin is NOT a HoF coach. He is Marvin lewis reincarnated. Such a joke. Cowher gifted him a super bowl and he coasted on that for 15 years. All awhile wasting Ben's, cam's, tj's primes. He should not know peace in pittsburgh the rest of his life. Ban him from all of western pennsylvania. Foreclose his house. He is not welcome. I hope the HoF committee wakes up and realizes he is just another Marvin lewis.
AS FOR BEN, DIDN'T HE HELPED CONTRIBUTED IN SOME OF THIS BY TURNING THE BALL OVER CONSTANTLY N PLAYOFFS GAMES. AS FOR CAM, TJ WATT WASN'T THEY OUT THERE TONIGHT WHY DIDN'T THEY STOP DEREK AND LAMAR. DOES TOMLIN GET BLAME? YES BUT I'M NOT GIVING PLAYERS PASSES EITHER GO STOP THE RUN THAT'S FUNDAMENTAL.
@@samgayle9629it's Tomlin. You have a weapon like TJ and get so uncreative you allow him to disappear into this defense? This can be applied to every player on the roster. Tomlin has no idea how to maximize players' effectiveness on the field.
Finally someone else said what I did 4 years ago. Things shifted when Dan Rooney passed away. Art is the weak link in the bloodline and is running this team into permanent mediocrity. He and Jerry Jones ain't any different. Can also guara tee if Dan was still alive it wouldnt be Acrisure...
Tomlin's best years were when he took over the team and the structures of his predecessors were still working. The longer Tomlin led the team and the more control he took, the worse it became. Just look at how things have been going for years: It doesn't matter who is under center or what the position coaches are called, the offense and defense always look the same. Because he controls everything and calls the plays. He only hires coaches who have no idea about the modern NFL and play like it's the 80s.
I have said it for years. Tomlin relied on the veteran players to control the locker room. When Polamalu, Bettis, Big Snack, the Beard, Debo, Ward, Heath, Pouncey, Ben … you name them … were gone, so was the Steeler way. It was gradual, but pronounced.
At the end of the day the players who have stuck around for a while with us are the ones I feel for the most. TJ, Cam, Minkah, Highsmith, Ogunjobi, Mon Adams, Killebrew, Boswell, those guys deserve better than what we have given them. Some of the newer guys too like Elandon Roberts and Elliot who clearly play their heart out don't deserve these late season collapses either.
Since 2016 many Steeler staff have been let go. The one common factor has been Tomlin. The game last night and beat down for 5 games is now rock bottom. Art please grow some stones and FIRE Tomlin. We all see it. 18 years and it is past time!!! 😡
In times like this I always feel like you’re the voice of reason DK. Only person I care to hear their opinion about the steelers especially after this embarrassment.
Hey, I'm in a surprisingly good mood this morning. It's like the rest of the world is coming to their senses . . . finally. And here I've been, for years now, wondering, what is it going to take? Thank you, Kirk Herbtreit, for shining a spotlight on how lifeless the team was in the first half, yet again, last night. It's got to be especially difficult for Watt, who's all of a sudden looking way past his prime after two straight games of being absent from the stat sheet. I mean, seriously, he had the same exact stats as last year.
@@DKPS_Steelers Come on. Don't act like this isn't a thing. There are PLENTY of players names in recent years that made it VERY obvious they didn't want to be a Steeler anymore, because the Steelers can't make any Superbowl runs. Pickens is only the latest. Just like you are FINALLY admitting it's time for Tomlin to go.
Herbstreet said the Steelers looked lethargic. I agree they were not prepared. If Rooney can't see it's time for a change then he should step aside and sell this team.
The coaching staff is garbage. They make no real adjustments during the game and under used Justin Fields and Beany Bishop. I just didn't see enough fire. The coaches might as well stayed home. Tomlin gets stuck in his on funk and should have started Justin Fields. Russell legs are gone and he had problems getting the ball out. Coaching staff get a big F. The secondary looks lost on plays and out of sync. We don't have a good play caller in Arthur Smith, we keep hiring garbage Offense Coaches and expect a different result while Tomlin sit on the sideline and watch this mess evolve😢
I can’t say there was NO lack of “want to” when I saw Donte Jackson just let a guy get a first down because he didn’t wanna help his teammate out and take a hit to stop the other player. Then after I saw it happen live they actually pointed it out on the broadcast. They also mentioned how it looked like the Steelers didn’t even care or want to be there. So I do think there was at least some amount of guys not wanting it enough. Also I’m not questioning the effort but how does a guy like TJ Watt go the last 4 games of the season without even posting one sack. That seems like it has to be on schematics and coaching.
Thank goodness we get our non loosing season certificate. I’m out for awhile. First time in my 54 years ashamed of colors. No excuses. I was screaming someone make a play, now it’s someone save this whole organization. This is not good
Don’t fire Tomlin! TRADE HIM! Keep Danny Smith, everyone else can go too. Flores, Munch, Peterson, Vrabel, etc can do better. Might have to see if any veterans want out and give them a shot with legit teams. One & done yet again.
I would explore trading him before any firing. The National Media cant stop talking about the greatness of Tomlin, how some of these teams would kill to have him. I say put it to the test. See if a team will give up a 1st+ to have him. To be clear I still like Tomlin, I still think he's a good coach. But I'm with you DK, I'm over it after last night.
I said it and seen it all year even when we were winning, nothing ever ever changed other than Russ took over for Justin and Tomlin proclaimed himself a genius in so many words. Tomlin has got to go.
DK, I’m a 30 year old mother of 2 little boys under 4. I was raised to be a Steelers fan, even being at Heinz Field at the fan blitz in 2004 when Ben was taken and that’s where it all started for me. I’ve never felt this disappointed and frustrated before. I point out that I’m a mother mainly because I am genuinely nervous that if my boys are interested in sports, they won’t be interested in the Steelers. What kid outside of Pittsburgh do you see wearing Steelers jerseys? There needs to be a culture change. All my kids know is mediocracy and being stuck in football purgatory. That’s not Pittsburgh. Something needs to change.
Gm DK have no words for this game sad had alot of hope but to see this is sad but we need a change love Tomlin but maybe we need to let him go time for a real change
Trade Tomlin for a 1st & a 3rd To the Patriots, Raiders or Bears.. Hire Brian Flores as the head coach..This give my Steelers discipline that is missing...This covers the Rooney rule and he already was a coach in Pittsburgh....Trade Minkah for a 3rd as well..
Hey DK, how much of this loss fall on Arthur Smith and Terryl Austin? Smith hasn’t been good since he had Derrick Henry and Austin can’t scheme up a defense to save his life.
Mason is part of the reason they're in the situation they're in. Not directly but Tomlin and Colbert have both stated outright that they had a "first round grade" on Mason. Does Mason look like a first round QB? Does he look like a QB who can put up 3-4 TDs? Can compete with the Josh Allens, Lamars, Mahomes and Goffs of the world? Or even the Jayden Daniels and Jordan Loves? You're lucky if you get 1 TD a game out of him. He's a backup and nothing more and pretending that they're going to find their franchise QB in the 3rd, 4th, 5th round so that they have an excuse to spend all their first rounders on LBers and other luxury positions is a big reason why they're here.
I did a reaction video myself. Gave a shoutout to you in it. Love the coverage you give the Steelers. That game and this season were tough to endure. www.youtube.com/@Nucksy
Cowher coached 15 seasons, Tomlin 16 and Tomlin won a SB with a Cowher leftover team. He ( Tomlin is term limited). Trade the stars, get picks, lose a couple years, rebuild and SB 2027!
DK ! You never hear MT take responsibility at a press conference about losses he is not a good coach he is very prideful it’s all about him and not his team what a shame !
I have nothing against Mike Tomlin as a person… But it’s time for a change in philosophy at the top… A change in coaching staff… Because you cannot get rid of all the players… Facts…
Hey DK, just stopping by to support you and the show. I know right now emotions are running high. the low hanging fruit is fire Tomlin. If that’s the case, you might as well say fire Omar Khan as well. If anything I learned from this past month in a half, we cannot be elite teams with a mediocre roster. I’ll give you credit because you said lack of wide receiver two has been this team‘s Achilles’ heel and it’s been confirmed. I don’t know why in the world We cannot get Roman Wilson on the field this year. The point is we need another dynamic offensive playmaker. we could be critical of the defense, etc., but they are human. They gotta rest too. Russell Wilson played a decent game. I just think that our lack of offensive talent killed us on this one. I did see us trying to get Mike Williams and Pat involved. One gripe I’m starting to have w Pat is his route running it doesn’t seem like he’s running the sticks in critical moments… I didn’t listen to your show because you put the thumbnail of fire Tomlin and I’m not gonna be on that band wagon. Look at what happened to the charges yesterday their lack of a strong wide receiver, killed them as well. (They are probably gonna go after tee Higgins by the way )All of the remaining teams have elite offensive talent. The Steelers don’t. I heard the Steelers did try to get Christin Kirk, but he got injured. Not to mention, Broderick Jones missed some key blocks as well. it doesn’t matter who the head coach is if an offense cannot move the ball The defense is gonna have a long day and that’s what we saw last night. Thank you for an awesome season. I love the addition of the double shots. Just because I’m not listening to your show Doesn’t mean I’m not interested. I just don’t wanna hear the bad narratives right now because to be honest, offensively we’re not good enough to contend. I hope we have a strong off season.
@ why don’t you call me a name in person verse doing it on the Internet, bro. I got your clown all right. Did you see the rest of the league run defense when it comes to Derrick Henry? I don’t even know why I just responded to somebody who tries to call someone a bad name on the Internet verse to their face.
I’m probably one of the biggest Tomlin supporters on the planet… I’m finally ready to let go. That was utterly disgraceful.
Same (was literally defending him on other comment sections 3 weeks ago). I wouldn't say it's disgraceful...but to have our Defense get annihilated in the playoffs again (for like the 5th time in our last 6 playoff games)...we need a change.

Same feelings here.
I have always supported Coach T. But this wasn't just another loss. This was embarrassing. Its time to go to the next chapter.
Who would the Steelers get to replace him?
Same here, I love coach T but the pattern of losing is undeniable and unacceptable!!!
Cam Sutton on the field is the damning evidence of Mike Tomlin’s incompetence
This sh*t is the definition of insanity. I can no longer watch Tomlins Steelers. Glad Tomlin and Wilson gave the fans a Disney speech in the press conference though ! Made me feel so much better about the teams perfomance. What a joke 😂😂

20 bucks Ramon Foster will make every excuse for tomlin next show. He doesn't even realize tomlin probably cost Mon a ring.
I've been in Tomlins corner for years but enough is enough.
He needs to resign.
He needs to get fired! He shouldn’t even have the ability to resign. He should have received the pink slip before he even had the post game conference.

100% agree. Tomlin needs go.

IT'S A FRANCHISE THING, THEY ARE CHEAP THEY LIKE TO HIRE FROM WITHIN IN HOUSE BUT THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE WAY THEY HIRE.

The fact that Tomlin didn’t start Fields in the second half shows how apathetic he is. The offense was desperate for a spark and he did nothing.
You mean stubborn!

Can also guara tee if Dan was still alive it wouldnt be Acrisure...
He should retire and give the reins to Jim Rooney, the youngest son. He was close to Dan and would be way better. I know him.
You think Dan Rooney would be loyal to Heinz after Heinz stabbed our city in the back? Why? - DK
and the McCaskeys in Chicago all old money no new brains
He wouldn't go for it on 4th & inches, but went for it on 4th & 15??
I know. There was still way too much time left on the clock to go for it on 4th and 15 it was ridiculous . Tomlin made really bad decisions last night
Exactly- coaching scared . Total incompetence
Tomlin's best years were when he took over the team and the structures of his predecessors were still working. The longer Tomlin led the team and the more control he took, the worse it became.

I used to be proud to be a Steelers fan, now I’m embarrassed.
Dan Rooney would. He knew what HAD to be done.
bad Bad bad
All game checks from last 5 games. Should be donated!!! They didn't earn any of it !!!!
At the end of the day the players who have stuck around for a while with us are the ones I feel for the most.

Some of the newer guys too like Elandon Roberts and Elliot who clearly play their heart out don't deserve these late season collapses either.
I can’t believe we didn’t even go for it on fourth and inches like I mean we’re in the playoffs bro. well not anymore lol
Said the same...but go for it on 4th n 13
And against the ravens!
Exactly , handing the ball back to Lamar is a bad idea in that situation . And of course the Ravens scored right away after that .
Nothing is changing, nothing is improving. I could not agree with you more. He should retire; he is so bad at this.
We've seen this before and we don't want to see it no more. Us Steelers fans are mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore!

I would explore trading him before any firing. The National Media cant stop talking about the greatness of Tomlin, how some of these teams would kill to have him. I say put it to the test. See if a team will give up a 1st+ to have him.
To be clear I still like Tomlin, I still think he's a good coach. But I'm with you DK, I'm over it after last night.
The defense was out there 75% in the first half. The NFL is an offensive favored league.l, Tomlin wants his defense to win. He's stuck in the past
I said it and seen it all year even when we were winning, nothing ever ever changed other than Russ took over for Justin and Tomlin proclaimed himself a genius in so many words. Tomlin has got to go.
1snd done steelers
A trade would be ideal. The league still believes he’s a top tier coach and the new guy would have capital to start his squad.
Wow. This is a unique take. I haven't heard this, but it makes sense.
I'm usually annoyed to hear pundits say he's brilliant.... But maybe we should keep the charade going and get a couple of picks on his way out!
And the Baltimore. fans was booing.the Pittsburgh steelers when they came on the field 😅😅😅😅
Fired Tomlin he such a terrible coach
DK, I’m a 30 year old mother of 2 little boys under 4. I was raised to be a Steelers fan, even being at Heinz Field at the fan blitz in 2004 when Ben was taken and that’s where it all started for me. I’ve never felt this disappointed and frustrated before. I point out that I’m a mother mainly because I am genuinely nervous that if my boys are interested in sports, they won’t be interested in the Steelers. What kid outside of Pittsburgh do you see wearing Steelers jerseys? There needs to be a culture change. All my kids know is mediocracy and being stuck in football purgatory. That’s not Pittsburgh. Something needs to change.
Hopefully MT will do the one thing the organization won’t do. Dismiss himself.
Love Tomlin but if he won't change .. and proven over and over .. we must! Good bye good luck!🖤💛💪
Gm DK have no words for this game sad had alot of hope but to see this is sad but we need a change love Tomlin but maybe we need to let him go time for a real change
That was as predictable as it was pathetic to watch - no changes, no attempt at switching things up and a pathetic surrender. He's got to go now.
I wasn’t even mad or shocked DK. Was hoping for the best but have become accustomed to this type of performance.
I'm done with Tomlin !!!!
I'm with you brother. I have been patient up until now with Tomlin. It's time to move on. Get rid of him.
DK, I'm here for the full ride into next season with you. Hopefully the press will start asking Mr. Rooney the hard question
You have the voice that audible would love
Embarrassing! Teflon Tomlin has to go, NOW!!!
Trade Tomlin for a 1st & a 3rd To the Patriots, Raiders or Bears.. Hire Brian Flores as the head coach..This give my Steelers discipline that is missing...This covers the Rooney rule and he already was a coach in Pittsburgh....Trade Minkah for a 3rd as well..
Who knows.... Minkah could be a good safety under a better coach.
Hey DK, how much of this loss fall on Arthur Smith and Terryl Austin? Smith hasn’t been good since he had Derrick Henry and Austin can’t scheme up a defense to save his life.
Trade fire, either way I'm indifferent and done! Tomlin must go. I do not care about 9-10 wins next year
I lost hope in the season when they let Mason walk for a 37 years old former QB, thats nuts!
Did you watch Mason in Tennessee? There's a reason that they got the number one overall draft pick, he was worse than Wilson
Mason is part of the reason they're in the situation they're in. Not directly but Tomlin and Colbert have both stated outright that they had a "first round grade" on Mason. Does Mason look like a first round QB? Does he look like a QB who can put up 3-4 TDs? Can compete with the Josh Allens, Lamars, Mahomes and Goffs of the world? Or even the Jayden Daniels and Jordan Loves? You're lucky if you get 1 TD a game out of him. He's a backup and nothing more and pretending that they're going to find their franchise QB in the 3rd, 4th, 5th round so that they have an excuse to spend all their first rounders on LBers and other luxury positions is a big reason why they're here.
Mason isn’t good
I'm not saying that Mason is a stellar QB, but in the Steelers system he was a decent game manager.
@markvarlotta
I think Russ is washed but don't cry about Mason. Mason isn't good either. Lol
That’s enough
I did a reaction video myself. Gave a shoutout to you in it. Love the coverage you give the Steelers. That game and this season were tough to endure.

Might as well work on a trade right? If mike wants a new gig we at least get a late round pick
Cowher coached 15 seasons, Tomlin 16 and Tomlin won a SB with a Cowher leftover team. He ( Tomlin is term limited). Trade the stars, get picks, lose a couple years, rebuild and SB 2027!
Fire Tomlin, please for the life of me. I’m so done, this looks nothing like the team I feel in love with under coach Cowher
You know what going to happen they will keep Tomlin and give Russell a new contract let Justin go that's how they roll
Rooney needs to go. He clearly doesn’t care about winning championships. Take Tomlin needs to go as well. At least Cowher knew when to retire.
DK ! You never hear MT take responsibility at a press conference about losses he is not a good coach he is very prideful it’s all about him and not his team what a shame !
I have nothing against Mike Tomlin as a person… But it’s time for a change in philosophy at the top… A change in coaching staff… Because you cannot get rid of all the players… Facts…
Hey DK, just stopping by to support you and the show. I know right now emotions are running high. the low hanging fruit is fire Tomlin. If that’s the case, you might as well say fire Omar Khan as well. If anything I learned from this past month in a half, we cannot be elite teams with a mediocre roster. I’ll give you credit because you said lack of wide receiver two has been this team‘s Achilles’ heel and it’s been confirmed. I don’t know why in the world We cannot get Roman Wilson on the field this year. The point is we need another dynamic offensive playmaker. we could be critical of the defense, etc., but they are human. They gotta rest too. Russell Wilson played a decent game. I just think that our lack of offensive talent killed us on this one. I did see us trying to get Mike Williams and Pat involved. One gripe I’m starting to have w Pat is his route running it doesn’t seem like he’s running the sticks in critical moments… I didn’t listen to your show because you put the thumbnail of fire Tomlin and I’m not gonna be on that band wagon. Look at what happened to the charges yesterday their lack of a strong wide receiver, killed them as well. (They are probably gonna go after tee Higgins by the way )All of the remaining teams have elite offensive talent. The Steelers don’t. I heard the Steelers did try to get Christin Kirk, but he got injured. Not to mention, Broderick Jones missed some key blocks as well. it doesn’t matter who the head coach is if an offense cannot move the ball The defense is gonna have a long day and that’s what we saw last night.
Thank you for an awesome season. I love the addition of the double shots. Just because I’m not listening to your show Doesn’t mean I’m not interested. I just don’t wanna hear the bad narratives right now because to be honest, offensively we’re not good enough to contend. I hope we have a strong off season.
Did your eyes see the run defense?🤡
@ why don’t you call me a name in person verse doing it on the Internet, bro. I got your clown all right.
Did you see the rest of the league run defense when it comes to Derrick Henry? I don’t even know why I just responded to somebody who tries to call someone a bad name on the Internet verse to their face.
