Tomlin is so stubborn he thinks we can just impose our will through running the ball when we can’t. First half is so predictable, we almost always run on first down. He doesn’t change until we’re behind and it’s too late. This is all on the coaches.
Tomlin may well be Stubborn but in todays NFL he has Become a Relic ,The Game has passed Tomlin By , His Stubborn mind set can win some games but without HOF level players in all areas he cant win in the Playoffs ,The Steelers have at Best 2 future HOF players on the Roster and neither has won a Super Bowl and one of those 2 hasnt even won a playoff game
@@Holly_HitemUpThe Patriots coach looked decent considering the team he showed up too. If we lose this first game don't be surprised if Tomlin steps down and retires theirs allot of pressure on him and regardless of how Rooney feels the fans won't let him live it down
I've always backed Tomlin and still think he's a good coach. Yet if this team is once again, one and done in the playoffs.... then I agree it's time for a coaching change. Some hot coaching candidates out there, so maybe what this team needs is a fresh new look and new philosophy.
@josephdonovan9125 , I agree with steelcurtain. I've defended Tomlin too many times, but I can't anymore. This stagnant play calling hasn't changed, we don't adjust, so winning the games we did with our offense shows that it can be done, but teams will pick that apart, especially good coordinator's.
Other than subjective intangibles, what makes Tomlin a good coach? Time management? Player control? Playoff wins? Good at challenges? Hired good coaches?
Tomlin’s a defensive coach and the best defense is to keep the other QB on the sideline.. That’s his entire game plan in every game.. in other words, he doesn’t play to win, he plays not to lose.. and that’s why he continues to lose..
I feel like, if we play great defense, we have enough offense to win, but with Fields, because he will run more being mobil, and making plays with his legs that russ couldn't. We just can't continue on with russ, we have a better chance with Justin Fields, he knows that we have a better chance. We need that spark.
Chris. one thing you didn't mention about 1st down passing. How many were play-action passes? I'm guessing...zero? For that matter, how many play-action passes did they call in this losing streak?
I've been telling my son and some friends for 8 years that Tomlin needs to go he's killing the Steelers MOJO. He came in on Cowhers coat tails with a really strong team and that's why he looked good at 1st....then the wheels fell off and we got what you see now...💩
our tackles are bad. Move the launch point. Play action. Screens to Warren. Quick slants. Take shots when they are there. Lean on pat & use Austin in space. 70-30 pass to run split & with a turnover or 2 we got a shot. Oh yeah, stop the run or get thrashed.
History shows... we will not change anything this game. They will, once again, start out slow and try to rally late. Our team isn't built for the low and slow approach due to our oline. AFTER, I'd rather keep justin and let Russ walk. He isn't mobile enough. Im not asking for prime Vick, Lamar, or JF, but when Aiden O, who has a bad knee, navigates the pocket better... there is an issue. With all this said...I wouldn't be surprised if we pull out a win. Not counting on it... but I wouldn't be surprised
So if we keep Justin Fields do you honestly think he can compete and Beat a LaMar Jackson or Patty MaHomes or Josh Allen , Jaylen Hurts etc etc . . . me Neither Trade him for Picks same with Russ and His Cooking trade them for Picks for a New Head coach can start to build a team
Players with consistency, talent, fundamentals, execution! Comes with study, study,studyjng film to know your opponent and execute what they practiced!
I feel confident about this game. A turnover in the beginning and end of the Ravens game overshadowed how well Russ played without Pickens. I also think the Texans are better than people think and will upset the Chargers.
@@andref9663 Exactly and remember the game was 7-7 with the steelers on the move about to score when Russell fumbles that was game changing play. The steelers for them to pull off the upset they have to start faster especially on offense, they can't play from behind. They need to come out throwing the ball to George pickens get his head in the game early that will keep him focused. George checked out of that Cincinnati game because he wasn't getting the ball early.
@@samgayle9629that's why Pickens needs to be traded as soon as the season ends. A true number one reciever doesn't check out because the ball doesn't come to him,if he's used as a decoy in order to reach a goal then he's willing to sacrifice in order to win and he's ready when his number is called upon. Trade Pickens for a third rounder and its a win
why do they do anything they do. it's like they sit there in their pearl palace not caring about the fans...and I don't even know if teams need fans anymore..somebody commented...true Steeler fans would understand a couple of 2-15 seasons....4-13 it meant a fresh start mediocrity is worse than 4-13...OK we are still fans not bandwagon. However after 40 years I am about to bounce off the wagon.
They want to lowball Russell and Justin come offseason. If they call good plays both QBs succeed and have a reason to ask for large contract. Don’t call pass plays until late third quarter and lose game you can have all Steelers media outlets put their picture on the front and say it’s the QB fault. QB isn’t doing enough! You have seen it!..
@@fadya.3660Fields was 4-2 but now to expect a rusty Fields to come in on a horse and save the day is asking alot against the Raven's but we definitely know what Wilson brings
@ and if Fields kept playing, he definitely wouldn’t have stayed winning 67%. Wilson started hot too. You can argue it’s worth seeing what you got in him at least but the Steelers saw plenty of it. They saw it for 6 games and they saw it every day in practice too. They know a lot more about what Fields can and can’t do than any fan does. Fans are just asking for it because they’re naive to what the organization already knows. Reality is this year, the Steelers don’t have a good chance, and this offseason it’s about time they stop cheaping out on the most important position in football.
Fields being put under that kind of pressure, to dig out this team, after not playing in what 8-9 games? what good would that do? I complained about Wilson coming into this organization a long way back, because eventually, with our o-line, the worst of Wilson was going to show eventually. And no, Steelers just don't need a QB, like everyone says, Tomlin needs to invest in his o-line and basic fundamentals. I seen all Steelers salaries recently, it's laughable that anyone expects Steelers to function as a post-season unit when all the top paid players are on the defense and there's little to no investment in the offense, Boswell might be the highest paid Offensive player on the team. Steelers, as they are right now, with Tomlin genius as coach, Rooney's placating him are only capable of winning seasons. They don't just need a QB they need to rebuild, trade out Tomlin for some offensive picks in the off-season and start over already. Tomlin was never going to get the Steelers to a super bowl level after their last appearance in the contest against Green Bay, I predicted it then, but it was actually worse than that
Everybody keeps saying Tomlin is the problem. Partly true. Pick your poison over the last 25 years. When have we ever did a franchise reset? Never. We pick close to the back of the pack every year. Why are the Bengals, Detroit, San Fran, Buffalo, good? They had successive bad seasons to get top tear players. Or do you want to be the Jets, Giants, Jax, Carolina, Atl, Phoenix, Bears, ect.? He coaches up bad or decent teams to be better than they are. It's a catch 22. We never have enough to get us over the top. Either reset the roster or deal with being in it but never winning it. A good coach gets more from less
Total reset. His system is a failing system. This is an offense driven league. New culture. New philosophy. If we have a few bad season oh well, hopefully they would pick and get a good qb. I'd hire ben johnson. If he'd leave detroit
And hire who?!?!?! Do you HONESTLY think there will be a head coach better than Tomlin available at the end of the season with all of the bottom feeders firing their coaches!?!?!?!?! That 1! 2) is the fact that he just got an extension for 3 years so he's not going anywhere! 3) If you knew ANYTHING about the Steelers organization, they historically don't fire head coaches!!!! The last time a head coach was fired was 1968! The year before Chuck Knoll took over. Yeah, let's fire Tomlin and hire some bottom feeder head coach on par with Matt Canada!!!!
I agree. I think we need to clean house. Tomlin, Terrel Austin, Arthur Smith, the O line coach and the Secondary coach all need to go. But unfortunately Rooney is stuck on stupid and stubborn in his ways. I sometimes think that Steelers fans need to stop supporting this nonsense. We should stop buying tickets and investing money into this organization until change is finally made. If you hit his pockets and revenue takes a significant plunge maybe just maybe Rooney will rethink making changes.
@keithstewart8613 lmao 🤣 so silly, knee jerk reaction. Lil Keith in his snowflake feelings lmao 🤣. The Defense just held a top 2 offense this season to 19 without Watt making a big play, and your suggestion is fire the DC? Genius!
@@jeffvanduyne4614 A team that gets embarrassed out of the playoffs anytime they try in the last 8 years (soon to be 9) , a team that never seems to be ready to play the first half of a game, a team that can't adjust until next week (never in the moment or in game), can't block, tackle or pass cover (basic football fundamentals) and have some of the worst clock management is a bottom feeder team.. you kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Steelers get lucky a lot of times, and I could list dozens of examples just this season, one example being that this schedule didn't end up being as hard as everyone predicted, that is until the end. Are you saying we couldn't do better than this and that there's only one direction we can go and that's Mike Tomlin? And just to "touche" myself lol who was it that hired and stood by Canada in the first place??? Mike Tomlin.
@@MatthewBretton-cu2el A lot of us that want Mike Tomlin outta here have a little more depth to our argument. Yes the front line defense is full of Steeler's play makers, but also the highest paid players as well, and that top line defense dropped one to the Browns in some snow and couldn't even pressure the Eagles, Ravens (in round 2) or the Chiefs, who are now elite teams at this point in the season where Steelers haven't been in a dozen years. The secondary is terrible and that's not just me telling it like it is, everyone is saying it. And with the 10 years consistent o-line issues and terrible blocking, NO QB can succeed in Pittsburgh and none have except for the winning seasons "high water mark" everyone seems content with (even the coach)...and the tackling and pass coverage on the defense is some of the worst in the league, And while I have always felt comfortable labeling the Steelers one of the better Junior Varsity teams in the NFL, even the guy you want to keep as head coach has been saying the same thing (yet he's responsible for it...doesn't he know that?) in calling the Steelers JV So, no, after 18 years, no playoff success hopes, poor decision on personnel and assistants, 8 (almost 9) years of playoff drought, I wouldn't call "fire Tomlin" knee jerk...it's just @raytremblay3000 and @keithstewart8613 used less words than I, and more the better. Honestly, I could cite hundreds of examples of just how poor a coach Mike Tomlin is and I don't want to spend that time doing so, when the "defenders" ought to know better by now yourself
"the two turnovers that led to touchdowns" when talking about how they need to be better at limiting turnovers like they had most of the season. Man, your comprehension skills are low.
@@LockedOnSteelers15:06.. “ but the Steelers allowed uncharacteristic passing touchdowns in that game that Isaiah likely touchdown the mark Andrews touchdown, you take those two touchdowns away it’s a much closer game” 😂😂😂what cereal box did you get that reporter pass from man, I’ll be listening in all week Chrissy my boy
@ oh excuse me, I thought you meant a different part of the show. Now it’s just the uncharacteristic TDs where Lamar Jackson literally stopped his press conference to announce Mark Andrews scored his first TD against the Steelers in his 7 years playing them and the other TE who got stripped for one of the biggest turnovers of the earlier game in the season. Even better context to show you don’t have any leg to stand on 😂😂😂 but hey thanks for the views! My credentials and national awards are doing just fine and the revenue you contribute to with every click appreciates it 😂😂😂
@@LockedOnSteelers he stopped the press conference? 😂a reporter brung it up and lamar was shocked to know that was marks first TD against the Steelers.

Jonah Jameson? 🤣🤣🤣 I’m picturing you with a fedora in the locker room trying to get the latest scoop! What do you say this weekend Chrissy? Steelers by 10? 😂😂
Chris Carter and Locked On Steelers is much better than Clickbait Noah and Granma Bingo DK. I want to hear Steelers not the always calling for removing the coach and the Rooney’s. What’s next , removing our sacred Terrible Towel?
It isn't so much about pass vs. run. The Steeler's offense as it stands requires better offensive line play. We need to accept what we have in terms of offensive line play and design plays to work around the limitations.
Sadly i actually have more hope for this game than i did other matchups that could have happened. If we can pull off the upset for some crazy reason whatever we did too win we continue coverage run game pass game we copy our success
I notice he throws the ball accurately the majority of the time. Left side of field. Middle of field. Right side of field. Seen accurate passes all over the field from Russell. Coordinator rarely wants to pass. Receivers dropping passes.
yes, the playcalling was way too conservative and vanilla. but I do think Arthur Smith is a good OC. Keep in mind, they are spending peanuts in resources cap-wise on the offense. They went dumpster diving to piece together the O, and right now it's been a dumpster fire the past 4 games, but I still feel the O has overachieved collectively for the season if you take a step back and consider the resource allocation that went into it, as well as the O-line injuries on the right side. Austin is the one who I feel lacks creativity. He's got awesome personnel to work with who are paid handsomely, but he's just too simple with his scheme (whether it be the pass rush itself, or the coverages). and the coverages are too soft and have glaring weaknesses. after they are eliminated whether it be by the hands of the Ravens or the Chiefs the following week, oust Austin. and get rid of Pat Meyer....bad luck with the O-line injuries, but he's had years to prove himself and still hasn't shown to put together a strong O-line unit ala Munchak.
It wasnt surprising that the Bengals beat the Steelers. The surprise was that the Bengals didnt totally run away with that game. The Orange and black cats had more to play for. They were getting hot with what? 4 consecutive wins before coming to the Burgh? Now this Ravens game? Anything can happen. Both teams have a purpose, the same purpose. I love Lamar❤ but if anybody knows how to slow Lamar down, its the Steelers defense.The X-factor this season is Derrick Henry. If the Steel defense can limit Henry, they can make it a competitive game. If Henry gets going, then its curtains for the Steelers because a good Ravens rushing attack will open up their passing attack and the Steelers will be at the beach soaking up the sun by next monday.
Great points on them only passing when they have to, instead of when they should. But Ruds takes SO long to get ribbon the ball, I have time to read his eyes from the couch. Allbgreat qb's have a quick release. Put Fields in and let him go!
Naw , Only thing Tomlin is on would be the NFL Poster Child for DEI he checks a Box and that Box being Checked is His Super Power , his shield from Accountability it also shield The Rooney's from Accountability and The Players as well , in 18 season as a NFL Head Coach the Best Tomlin can do is Russ Wilson or Justin Fields at QB really , and he gives Them a O Line of No Body's , also in 18 season as an NFL Head Coach he has a Pack of No Body's as his Players Coaches not a single Tomlin Coach will ever be a Head Coach . A Poster Child need not Excel at anything and at that Tomlin really does Excel, He has a couple of Token HOF players who will never see a Super Bowl win and possibly never even win a Home Playoff game or even a wild card playoff game Let That sink in . Russ and Fields are possibly on the only NFL team where they could even have any Possibility of being a Starter ,neither are even in any conversation of NFL Elite QB's and have proven this over and Over , in truth Only the Steelers even took a second look at Fields and Russ , Russ is collecting a Bag and So is Fields all the Gaslighting is over , all the Steelers Media Hype and Smoke shows are BS all that remains is Tomlin's Super Power , He Checks a Box on some Woke lunatic's Broken mind set .
Mike Tomlin should have been fired five or six years ago. This is the same bad coach that told Byron Leftwich (No) when he reached out to be the offensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don’t know who our next head coach will be but Byron Leftwich should be considered.
They played better d after Higgins went down and no chase Brown. They don't have chance against a great offense. Secondary is horrible and don't get much pressure consistently anymore. Looking for turnovers is desperation and the offense can't score and can only pass outside with low chance deep balls. Don't get me start on the toss sweep crap
The defense is inconsistent. That’s the whole problem. They looked good against the Ravens the first time and acted like they never played them before the second time. I don’t trust this defense either.
I’m not mad at the defense.. They’ve carried them the majority of the year.. That eagles game when they had three turnovers and the offense didn’t do anything with it I kinda knew they would be flat for awhile.. Nobody discusses that tho..
You can hope all you want but Russ is gonna shrink like he’s done in Seattle and Denver. He can’t put up 20 points. That means he can’t score once and get down the field 5 times to kick field goals. Guess who didn’t have problems moving the ball? 🤔🤔 Justin Fields. 🤷🏽♂️
Justin didn’t play eagles or ravens or chiefs. Take that into account. Russell played eagles and ravens without Pickens. Both QBs are good but they shafted Russell and offense by sitting Pickens. Wasn’t no hamstring injury.
KC didn't care about style 15wins. Simple a$$ Raven fans looking at beat down 12w 2 less than last year. The very reason Lamar can't win the MVP. His numbers are incredible,but it equated to 2less wins no bye and prolly 1home game. Team Sport, last I check winning is best number u can have. If winning don't matter give to Joe Burrow.
I don't know, I live out west and there's generally a lot of blackout restrictions, but I've been able to watch Steelers gettin taken to the woodshed multiple times this year on national TV, including the last 4 games and that embarrassing loss to the Browns in the snow, a poor showing against Dallas and the first Ravens match where Steelers could only make field goals. Anyone thinking that Steelers were actually "good" at 10-3 based on who they beat and how they won was always kidding themselves at the time. Steelers were a better team because their contestants weren't that good, or weren't good at the time
We changed GM who turned the roster over in a positive major way. Brought in new SB winning QB in Russ. Highest paid defense.. New OC.. Same results. At what point yall gunna admit Tomlin is the issue.
Once again the Steelers offense will limit the success of this team. Arthur Smith has been a disappointment. He fit the culture of this team, tough and stubborn. I’m not a fire Tomlin guy because he is a really good coach but has proven to this point that he can’t elevate the team offensively. I was hoping that Arthur Smith could be a difference maker but he has not. It’s time for real change. If that’s moving on quickly from the offensive staff then let’s do it. This team will not fire Tomlin and I don’t think they should. If we run it back with this offensive staff then the hopes to win a superbowl are gone. If Tomlin is ready for change then I’m fine with that too
Russ or Fields cant beat any of todays Top Talent NFL QB's period Joe Burrow just showed them an L , we just dont have an Elite QB sorry but that is on The head Coach he has Had 18 season to find , draft or Beg for a HOF level QB he has Failed at every turn even the O line sucks , what has Tomlin been doing he has become a Dumpster Diver wishing for Talent from the NFL dumpster he dont know how to Draft Champions period . he is a Failure he can even Hire Elite Coaches he is a Total Failure in every area
Offense needs to move the ball when your defense is on the field most of the game it’s hard to stop,the other teams from putting up numbers. How demoralizing it would have to be to shut down a team like the Eagles, Ravens, or chiefs then have the offense go 3 and out and have to be right back on the field again.
I don't know, it's a 10 year problem the slow starts, and there's constant issues on the defense for not being tight in the first half as well. And y'know as often as we hear dudes want to play for Mike Tomlin, they sure don't on the field.. Maybe it's Tomlin's open door policy, the BBQ's and helping them navigate life is what they mean, but Steelers have troubles beside slow starts...like an almost complete lack of focus on fundamentals, discipline; blocking is bad, tackling is laughable and pass coverage is optional.
WRONG!!! He's a liability!! He has a 17-33 record including the playoffs, he has 44 fumbles in his 4 year career, and this year is the FIRST year he didn't have double digit fumbles and that's because he only played 6 games!!!! Look at his stats for this year, he has 6 fumbles in 6 games, so by my calculation that's an average of 1 fumble EVERY GAME!!!!! NO THANK YOU!!!!
You guys need to make up your mind and then when fields plays bad you call back for Russ is never really a consistent thing where some of you guys who keep asking for different quarterbacks you get what you want and once they do bad you ask for what you want to get rid of
@lexushinds5939 I completely agree! I've been saying since before the season even started that I didn't like the idea of bringing in Fields. We should have kept Mason and brought in Russ. Again, like I said in my last post, with a 17-33 record and a history of putting the ball on the ground, we would have been better off with Mason!!! Everyone was saying things like, oh we got the next Lamar Junkson, but take a look around the league! Yes, it's good to have a mobile QB but most of the squads that have them are reigning in the running aspect of their QBs, and the Ratbirds are the perfect example of that. Does Junkson still scramble and run? Yes, but not nearly as much as he used to. The difference is, Fields poor mechanics, lack of ability to read a defense pre-snap, and complete failure to progress through his reads quickly and accurately, will keep him as a good backup to have, but until he figures out how to do those things I don't think he is a quality NFL starter. Not to mention his lack of touch on throws when he actually does pass. He throws the same velocity to a bubble screen that he does for a 40 yard go route and puts ZERO air under the ball on deep throws!!!
The change the Steelers need is....A NEW HEAD COACH ! I've watched 2nd graders play with more ❤ and Tenacity and Tomlin has about as much Enthusiasm as a Sloth. He can't manage the clock, the challenges or his Cocky, OLD or Lazy players. Steelers fans are Loyal, We Deserve Better Rooneys 😤
I'd rather play the Ratbirds in the first round. No one will expect the Steelers to win in Baltimore -- and rightfully so -- which really puts the pressure on the Ratbirds. A one and done for a Ratbirds team with legit Super Bowl aspirations -- and getting done in by a reeling Steelers team no less -- would be delicious!
@@CalmDownClown No, it wasn't their best option -- but this Steeler team is not a SB contender anyway -- so why not ruin the Ratbirds parade while we're at it?
So we all know Russ has a lot to blame, especially that stupid play where he ran for 5 yrds instead of throwing it away. But the play after, the pass to Pickens. Shouldn't Pickens break more to the outside, then towards the middle? I feel like that's where Russ thought he'd be, and he probably wouldn't have bumped the cb as much 🤷♂️
💯 Way too predictable, especially on 1st down. Tomlin wants to play bully ball, but even though we have better talent than last year we aren’t good enough to execute when the defense knows exactly what we are going to do. This was why I was against the Smith hire, not because of Smith, but because Tomlin was going to be stuck in his own run first, control the ball field position offense and try to win the game on defense. How about we try to win on both sides of the ball.
People complaining about Russ he delivered to perfect passes in the clutch they were both dropped, because no one has touched the ball all game! 1 yard runs take players out of the game
I haven’t watched this full video yet, but I 100% agree with your initial points. We CAN be a running team IF we make the opponents at least respect our passing game. I’d not only go 2/3 passes on 1st down in Q1 but I’d make sure that includes more than 1 deep shot. And don’t be afraid to just send 3 receivers downfield and beef up QB protection. We rarely do this nor do we chip edge rushers.
@@Holly_HitemUpevery year, it’s “blame the OC”. You don’t have a good QB. Najee Harris and Warren is the most average backfield possible. George Pickens is an inconsistent diva. Say it like it is. The roster isn’t talented enough. No OC is making this offense good. Firing Tomlin to replace him with someone worse isn’t the answer either, and it’s what plenty of franchises attempt to do with their good coaches.
I predict that Fields will replace Wilson saturday after the Steelers offense led by Wilson duplicates the last 4 games. Chris Carter's podcast topic after the Raven's game will be 'if Fields had started in the playoff loss the Steelers would have had a good shot at beating the Raven's '. Wilson has loss his feel for this offense, Tomlin is a prisoner of Wilson's first Bengals game. Wilson would repeat that performance once out of 10 games so to expect it now is a loosing bet
there will be plenty of narratives put into play by the Tomlin Gate Keepers after the Ravens game , None of them will mention Tomlin having any Fault in this season's Collapse
@@CalmDownClown I feel like he clearly dropped the ball when he continued to play Wilson. Wilson had the convenient excuse that the passing game was ineffective because Pickens was missing but the truth was obvious,Wilson only had success throwing his 'Moon Ball ' he never picked defenses apart with his eyes throwing passes to every level of the field
Tomlin needed a RB we got the best in the draft Tomlin needed an offensive line we got the best we could get , Tomlin needed a QB we got the best that was available so what the problem, over the years it's always been key injuries' Shazier and Watt killed two or three playoff seasons. Mike is one of the best in the game but him understanding how to have an effective OC still eludes him, I get why we are all upset but I understand, we approached this season to run the ball but our OL IS STILL YOUNG! so people understand were playing with house money.
Yepp he got the 2 best QB's from the NFL Dumpster and the Best Fired Coach from The NFL Dumpster meanwhile the Ravens picked up Derrick Henry ,Had Tomlin at least grabbed Henry this season might have been different ,could have got some kind of draft pick for Najee now he isnt worth a whole lot the rest of the NFL isnt wearing Rose Colored glasses like the Steelers Media Clowns , it really has become a Smoking Dumpster Fire in the Burg .Never any Accountability just toss more Hype and Smoke on it .If they lose to the Rat Birds and that is almost a Given The Steelers media will do as they always do They switch to being Comfort Pets for the Players and Coaches who will Snicker and Slither off the Stage knowing No Body will have the Balls to say 1 word about a 5 game losing streak and the Flogging there going to get in Baltimore , They probably all meet up in Cancun and laugh there ass off at the Pittsburgh Fandom for being So Easily fooled ,then they will start the Horn Blowing about some next great draft pick Tomlin makes or expert Dumpster Dive pick up
We as in us ! Are about to get treated like a dirty dish rag ? The ratbirds are about to beat the breaks off that azzz !! This is an embarrassment 😳 to say the least damn !
I’m so sick of Arthur Smith already. Watched the shit New Orleans Saints first drive yesterday. Padding on first down. Different looks and schemes. Made our offence look like a dinosaur. Embarrassing.
@@JOHNPoST-y4u I’ve literally given him back to back 3 skull grades and been a lot harsher on him than I was Fields but hey go live in dreamland in make up fantasies 😂
Spread teams out on 1st down. Patterson should never be on the field. Play one of those wide receivers that's not afraid to run a route over the middle by the linebackers
Every down should be in attack mode. This is why the Steelers under Tomlin will never find success. Tomlin has no football IQ. He doesn't understand the game. He can't even manage the clock. How can he be expected to understand situational football
Lmao 🤣 how long crap for QB? Show me a coach consistently not losing without a top 10 QB. Show me another coach consistently winning with no prime stars on offense? Clearly he understands football even better than Bellicheck who can't win without Brady. But you and people that think like you will always revert back to anti black stereotypes...lack of intelligence despite all the evidence to the contrary.
They need to learn how to eat in the middle of the field. A quick slant or 2 that would be nice. those screen passes and sideline passes need to be scrapped they are so predictable!
Fans do this every time u lose.they blame qb and head coach.id love to see Steelers do a few things thou that i feel will help us vs ravens.stop doin these half motions where the wr runs right bk to same spot do more real motions to other side of the field make defense react.russ pick plays that get guys open quicker.get more wrs on linebackers.stop throwin the ball bk to bk but dont run the ball only on first dwns.chop down yardage.play good situational ball.if its 3rd and 1 just run it and pick a good play.right now im still not seeing slants or mo go balls.be proactive attack teams early in the playclock.some kind of creativity like Russ and Arthur care about their careers here some sense of urgency.like every play Arthur call im makin small adjustments to make it work for me if im russ.if my o line getting beat im scrambling im not thinkin i got 2.5 secs everytime im understanding certain downs dan moore or Broderick not gonna hold up and having a plan.im watchin bengals tape on what joe did or mahomes did im not jus havin amnesia im learning from those losses
if they wanted to Ground and Pound Why didnt they grab Derrick Henry ? well watch and see what King Henry does to the Steelers in Baltimore this time as Najee sits there fondling his corn rows and plans his Vacation with his Boy Friend
MT to stubborn. If every Steeler fan watching on Sundays knows exactly what plays are coming how easy is it for our opponents. In the over 50 years I’ve watched Steelers football religiously, I’ve never seen a more predictable team.
Just to be a devil’s advocate, doesn’t Russ throw for about 250 yards on 21-31 without those 4 drops 🤷♂️ Don’t get me wrong, he made some bad plays like not throwing it away when he couldn’t get out of bounds but a pretty decent game considering his LT got murdered and they had a nonexistent run game.
I think 2 things Arthur Smith could do right away to improve things. Watching Wilson’s career going back it takes him making a few plays to get his confidence up in the Super Bowl where the Seahawks played the Patriots Wilson didn’t get a single first down til a few minutes before half time then he got in rhythm and brought Seattle back to where they controlled the game and should have won. Two things AS should do is 1: Start the game calling plays where Russ can get his confidence up early with short high percentage passes. 2: They predictably run the ball almost every time on 1s and 2nd down switch it up throwing on first down because they run the ball so much in those downs the other team would most likely bite on play action passes. TeamsAlso short screens on those downs would be a good way to exploit teams blitzing to aggressively.
This coach will continue tilting at the same windmills riding the sane donkey! No changes No adjustments No flexibility ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY...Same old book same old story same old ending since 2010- the 16 run to loss at Patriots was an anomaly fg win in KC etc
Wash, rinse repeat. Years of doing the same thing over and over again. Good if you goal is being mediocre. It all starts at the top. Front office, and head coach.
Steelers cannot get behind in this game. Cannot start slow in this game. Will have to try some miss direction plays to confuse the Ravens Defense. O line will actually have to hold blocks in the passing game. If these coaches cannot change after 4 straight loses, they should be fired.
Losing 3 solid on dumb short week 2 games being away during short week against 3 very very good long term good teams who r much much further along in team building than us I didn't like but with many key players injured than short weeks for non injured players and even when all was "healthy " still short week not alot of prep /tape study time all that I was hoping we win 1 of 3 gamed at least.... but it is what it is with losing all 3. But after thing long week and players getting healthy and staff and players both having time to prep,rest,rehabilitation etc... losing to Bengals at home isn't acceptable idk what deal is. But BUT we did play better on D and if some WR and such could pass an not drop passes russ can just get It there he can't make them catch the ball so let's hope where D played much better that can continue and than some and hopefully O can see once again what was wrong and we can take this week of prep leading to a familiar team in ravens and can win. If ravens beat us again the whole lamar can't beat us blah blah steelers have ravens number is over they destroyed us last reg season game and if they win in playoffs when it really matters that's gonna be awful and lamar and ravens will definitely get that monkey off back and prove who rele OWNS THE NORTH. This game means so much we need to win a playoff game after many many seasons of not doing so. We can't lose 5 solid to end season flipping our normal going into off season "hot" winning multiple games end of seasons normally. And we need to show who runs the north this is pride so may levels. If we lose .... I have backed tomlin and nvr been that guy but tomlin needs to really change entire system and rooney needs to put up money for big name OC DC instead them turds. Also smallest staff in nfl needs to grow more
I'm in favor of replacing OC. Je runs the same plays over and over every game! He has no creativity or variations on the earlier schemes. Throw that stupid toss sweep play out the window!
The fact that y’all still making excuses or looking for a fix with the most overrated coach of all times it’s embarrassing I stop caring and supporting the Steelers 8 year ago they don’t cares why should I 😂
somebody commented...true Steeler fans would understand a couple of 2-15 seasons....4-13 if it meant a fresh start mediocrity is worse than 4-13...OK we are still fans not bandwagon. However after 40 years I am about to bounce off the wagon.
I wanna start off by saying I appreciate the work you do!!! I think it's time to move on from Tomlin and the entire coaching staff. Mr Rooney needs to "allow" the Steelers to modernize it's game play while sticking to their traditional values that made us great!
have the ravens coming up again. if we can't stop 22 it will be a short night for us. put in a 4 man DL and let Robinson play LB. he destroys run plays better than anybody we have.
@@roberturbina7912you mean the defense that had 4 takeaways and a blocked field goal to help the Fields offense just for them to score no tds the entire game until the fourth quarter. Yeah fields would “totally” win a game let alone playoff game (sarcastic)
@@andref9663He actually did beat the cowboys! The defense allowed them to drive 75 yards and score. That’s on the defense! They get paid all that money and couldn’t get them off the field so suck a horse Dic.c talking about the cowboys. He went down and scored
So… I hear that 99% of pundits agree that Russ needs to THROW more often. I felt the same way watching the game. It was pretty obvious. I think Tomlin is a narcissist and so full of it that he regressed to his old book, even though he put Russ there. He cannot resist his own desire to show everyone that he is the One who knows how the Game should be played. The Steelers is the only team in NFL that pretends to win a SB using a running offense. It’s crazy unless your Coach is a narcissist.
relax... Russ is the best option... Allow Russ to throw quick routes (button-hooks & shallow crossing-routes) and often, sprinkled in with occasional QB-scrambles... that would open up the run game and deep passing game (thats literally how they scored vs Bengals in most recent game)
They’re in the dance there’s a chance. Steelers have nothing lose the world including this fanbase dont think they have a shot. Go muck it up and play afc north ball, at the end it may be close. I believe
Tomlin is so stubborn he thinks we can just impose our will through running the ball when we can’t. First half is so predictable, we almost always run on first down. He doesn’t change until we’re behind and it’s too late. This is all on the coaches.
Tomlin may well be Stubborn but in todays NFL he has Become a Relic ,The Game has passed Tomlin By , His Stubborn mind set can win some games but without HOF level players in all areas he cant win in the Playoffs ,The Steelers have at Best 2 future HOF players on the Roster and neither has won a Super Bowl and one of those 2 hasnt even won a playoff game
I'm with this team to the end, but when this season is over, changes need to happen.
I'm with you bro but you know as well as I do as long as Mike Tomlin is the hc it's not happening because the standard is the standard
Fields does not have the learned and natural skillset and talent to win against a championship ready and Super Bowl ready teamlike the Ravens!
@@terryreed1498 ok y’all want a new coach who would yall pick as head coach?
@@Holly_HitemUp Ben Johnson
@@Holly_HitemUpThe Patriots coach looked decent considering the team he showed up too. If we lose this first game don't be surprised if Tomlin steps down and retires theirs allot of pressure on him and regardless of how Rooney feels the fans won't let him live it down
I've always backed Tomlin and still think he's a good coach. Yet if this team is once again, one and done in the playoffs.... then I agree it's time for a coaching change. Some hot coaching candidates out there, so maybe what this team needs is a fresh new look and new philosophy.
While I agree with the coaching change but Tomlin got an extension this past off-season 3 years at that so we're stuck with him for two more years.
Coaches with contracts still get fired.@@josephdonovan9125
@josephdonovan9125 , I agree with steelcurtain.
I've defended Tomlin too many times, but I can't anymore. This stagnant play calling hasn't changed, we don't adjust, so winning the games we did with our offense shows that it can be done, but teams will pick that apart, especially good coordinator's.
Trade him or buy him out
Other than subjective intangibles, what makes Tomlin a good coach? Time management? Player control? Playoff wins? Good at challenges? Hired good coaches?
Tomlin’s a defensive coach and the best defense is to keep the other QB on the sideline.. That’s his entire game plan in every game.. in other words, he doesn’t play to win, he plays not to lose.. and that’s why he continues to lose..
I feel like, if we play great defense, we have enough offense to win, but with Fields, because he will run more being mobil, and making plays with his legs that russ couldn't. We just can't continue on with russ, we have a better chance with Justin Fields, he knows that we have a better chance. We need that spark.
Chris. one thing you didn't mention about 1st down passing. How many were play-action passes? I'm guessing...zero? For that matter, how many play-action passes did they call in this losing streak?
WRONG ,WRONG,WRONG, it's TOMLIN that need to change .Ryan Clark said it last season and again 2 days ago
Ryan Clark is paid to say things like this.
I've been telling my son and some friends for 8 years that Tomlin needs to go he's killing the Steelers MOJO. He came in on Cowhers coat tails with a really strong team and that's why he looked good at 1st....then the wheels fell off and we got what you see now...💩
@@jtfikefalse and I’m not even a Steelers fan
our tackles are bad. Move the launch point. Play action. Screens to Warren. Quick slants. Take shots when they are there. Lean on pat & use Austin in space. 70-30 pass to run split & with a turnover or 2 we got a shot.
Oh yeah, stop the run or get thrashed.
History shows... we will not change anything this game.
They will, once again, start out slow and try to rally late. Our team isn't built for the low and slow approach due to our oline.
AFTER, I'd rather keep justin and let Russ walk. He isn't mobile enough. Im not asking for prime Vick, Lamar, or JF, but when Aiden O, who has a bad knee, navigates the pocket better... there is an issue. With all this said...I wouldn't be surprised if we pull out a win. Not counting on it... but I wouldn't be surprised
So if we keep Justin Fields do you honestly think he can compete and Beat a LaMar Jackson or Patty MaHomes or Josh Allen , Jaylen Hurts etc etc . . . me Neither Trade him for Picks same with Russ and His Cooking trade them for Picks for a New Head coach can start to build a team
Players with consistency, talent, fundamentals, execution! Comes with study, study,studyjng film to know your opponent and execute what they practiced!
I wonder how much tape these individual players watch and study in their free time.
I feel confident about this game. A turnover in the beginning and end of the Ravens game overshadowed how well Russ played without Pickens. I also think the Texans are better than people think and will upset the Chargers.
@@andref9663 Exactly and remember the game was 7-7 with the steelers on the move about to score when Russell fumbles that was game changing play. The steelers for them to pull off the upset they have to start faster especially on offense, they can't play from behind. They need to come out throwing the ball to George pickens get his head in the game early that will keep him focused. George checked out of that Cincinnati game because he wasn't getting the ball early.
@@samgayle9629that's why Pickens needs to be traded as soon as the season ends. A true number one reciever doesn't check out because the ball doesn't come to him,if he's used as a decoy in order to reach a goal then he's willing to sacrifice in order to win and he's ready when his number is called upon. Trade Pickens for a third rounder and its a win
Tomlin made Russell Wilson his anchor ⚓ and now the ship is sinking
Chris they don't use Mike Williams close to enough my friend why?
why do they do anything they do. it's like they sit there in their pearl palace not caring about the fans...and I don't even know if teams need fans anymore..somebody commented...true Steeler fans would understand a couple of 2-15 seasons....4-13 it meant a fresh start mediocrity is worse than 4-13...OK we are still fans not bandwagon.

They want to lowball Russell and Justin come offseason. If they call good plays both QBs succeed and have a reason to ask for large contract. Don’t call pass plays until late third quarter and lose game you can have all Steelers media outlets put their picture on the front and say it’s the QB fault. QB isn’t doing enough! You have seen it!..

For the Steelers to have a chance, they need to start Feilds 4 straight games of subpar Russ Don’t want to see a 5th
Fields is awful too. Reality is the Steelers need a QB and that Qb isn’t on the roster.
@@fadya.3660Fields was 4-2 but now to expect a rusty Fields to come in on a horse and save the day is asking alot against the Raven's but we definitely know what Wilson brings
@ and if Fields kept playing, he definitely wouldn’t have stayed winning 67%. Wilson started hot too. You can argue it’s worth seeing what you got in him at least but the Steelers saw plenty of it. They saw it for 6 games and they saw it every day in practice too. They know a lot more about what Fields can and can’t do than any fan does. Fans are just asking for it because they’re naive to what the organization already knows. Reality is this year, the Steelers don’t have a good chance, and this offseason it’s about time they stop cheaping out on the most important position in football.
Fields being put under that kind of pressure, to dig out this team, after not playing in what 8-9 games? what good would that do?
I complained about Wilson coming into this organization a long way back, because eventually, with our o-line, the worst of Wilson was going to show eventually.
And no, Steelers just don't need a QB, like everyone says, Tomlin needs to invest in his o-line and basic fundamentals.
I seen all Steelers salaries recently, it's laughable that anyone expects Steelers to function as a post-season unit when all the top paid players are on the defense and there's little to no investment in the offense, Boswell might be the highest paid Offensive player on the team.
Steelers, as they are right now, with Tomlin genius as coach, Rooney's placating him are only capable of winning seasons.
They don't just need a QB they need to rebuild, trade out Tomlin for some offensive picks in the off-season and start over already. Tomlin was never going to get the Steelers to a super bowl level after their last appearance in the contest against Green Bay, I predicted it then, but it was actually worse than that
Everybody keeps saying Tomlin is the problem. Partly true. Pick your poison over the last 25 years. When have we ever did a franchise reset? Never. We pick close to the back of the pack every year. Why are the Bengals, Detroit, San Fran, Buffalo, good? They had successive bad seasons to get top tear players. Or do you want to be the Jets, Giants, Jax, Carolina, Atl, Phoenix, Bears, ect.? He coaches up bad or decent teams to be better than they are. It's a catch 22. We never have enough to get us over the top. Either reset the roster or deal with being in it but never winning it. A good coach gets more from less
Total reset. His system is a failing system. This is an offense driven league. New culture. New philosophy. If we have a few bad season oh well, hopefully they would pick and get a good qb. I'd hire ben johnson. If he'd leave detroit
A good coach gets more from less...absolute proof then that Tomlin sucks !
don't look now but they already have become the Jets, Giants, Jax, Carolina, Atl, etc.

Fire Tomlin !!!!!!
And hire who?!?!?! Do you HONESTLY think there will be a head coach better than Tomlin available at the end of the season with all of the bottom feeders firing their coaches!?!?!?!?! That 1! 2) is the fact that he just got an extension for 3 years so he's not going anywhere! 3) If you knew ANYTHING about the Steelers organization, they historically don't fire head coaches!!!! The last time a head coach was fired was 1968! The year before Chuck Knoll took over. Yeah, let's fire Tomlin and hire some bottom feeder head coach on par with Matt Canada!!!!
I agree. I think we need to clean house. Tomlin, Terrel Austin, Arthur Smith, the O line coach and the Secondary coach all need to go. But unfortunately Rooney is stuck on stupid and stubborn in his ways. I sometimes think that Steelers fans need to stop supporting this nonsense. We should stop buying tickets and investing money into this organization until change is finally made. If you hit his pockets and revenue takes a significant plunge maybe just maybe Rooney will rethink making changes.
@keithstewart8613 lmao 🤣 so silly, knee jerk reaction. Lil Keith in his snowflake feelings lmao 🤣. The Defense just held a top 2 offense this season to 19 without Watt making a big play, and your suggestion is fire the DC? Genius!
@@jeffvanduyne4614 A team that gets embarrassed out of the playoffs anytime they try in the last 8 years (soon to be 9) , a team that never seems to be ready to play the first half of a game, a team that can't adjust until next week (never in the moment or in game), can't block, tackle or pass cover (basic football fundamentals) and have some of the worst clock management is a bottom feeder team.. you kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Steelers get lucky a lot of times, and I could list dozens of examples just this season, one example being that this schedule didn't end up being as hard as everyone predicted, that is until the end.
Are you saying we couldn't do better than this and that there's only one direction we can go and that's Mike Tomlin?
And just to "touche" myself lol who was it that hired and stood by Canada in the first place??? Mike Tomlin.
@@MatthewBretton-cu2el A lot of us that want Mike Tomlin outta here have a little more depth to our argument. Yes the front line defense is full of Steeler's play makers, but also the highest paid players as well, and that top line defense dropped one to the Browns in some snow and couldn't even pressure the Eagles, Ravens (in round 2) or the Chiefs, who are now elite teams at this point in the season where Steelers haven't been in a dozen years.
The secondary is terrible and that's not just me telling it like it is, everyone is saying it. And with the 10 years consistent o-line issues and terrible blocking, NO QB can succeed in Pittsburgh and none have except for the winning seasons "high water mark" everyone seems content with (even the coach)...and the tackling and pass coverage on the defense is some of the worst in the league, And while I have always felt comfortable labeling the Steelers one of the better Junior Varsity teams in the NFL, even the guy you want to keep as head coach has been saying the same thing (yet he's responsible for it...doesn't he know that?) in calling the Steelers JV
So, no, after 18 years, no playoff success hopes, poor decision on personnel and assistants, 8 (almost 9) years of playoff drought, I wouldn't call "fire Tomlin" knee jerk...it's just @raytremblay3000 and @keithstewart8613 used less words than I, and more the better.
Honestly, I could cite hundreds of examples of just how poor a coach Mike Tomlin is and I don't want to spend that time doing so, when the "defenders" ought to know better by now yourself

It isn't so much about pass vs. run. The Steeler's offense as it stands requires better offensive line play. We need to accept what we have in terms of offensive line play and design plays to work around the limitations.
Sadly i actually have more hope for this game than i did other matchups that could have happened. If we can pull off the upset for some crazy reason whatever we did too win we continue coverage run game pass game we copy our success
My bold prediction is we lose and then some players will be shuffled around before next year then repeat
trade all of them for draft picks and get a New Head Coach a chance to Build
There's probably at least a couple of Steelers that need to be benched for the playoffs including Tomlin
Anybody notice russ never throws to the left.hes one sided
I notice he throws the ball accurately the majority of the time. Left side of field. Middle of field. Right side of field. Seen accurate passes all over the field from Russell. Coordinator rarely wants to pass. Receivers dropping passes.
yes, the playcalling was way too conservative and vanilla. but I do think Arthur Smith is a good OC. Keep in mind, they are spending peanuts in resources cap-wise on the offense. They went dumpster diving to piece together the O, and right now it's been a dumpster fire the past 4 games, but I still feel the O has overachieved collectively for the season if you take a step back and consider the resource allocation that went into it, as well as the O-line injuries on the right side.
Austin is the one who I feel lacks creativity. He's got awesome personnel to work with who are paid handsomely, but he's just too simple with his scheme (whether it be the pass rush itself, or the coverages). and the coverages are too soft and have glaring weaknesses.
after they are eliminated whether it be by the hands of the Ravens or the Chiefs the following week, oust Austin. and get rid of Pat Meyer....bad luck with the O-line injuries, but he's had years to prove himself and still hasn't shown to put together a strong O-line unit ala Munchak.
It wasnt surprising that the Bengals beat the Steelers. The surprise was that the Bengals didnt totally run away with that game. The Orange and black cats had more to play for. They were getting hot with what? 4 consecutive wins before coming to the Burgh? Now this Ravens game? Anything can happen. Both teams have a purpose, the same purpose. I love Lamar❤ but if anybody knows how to slow Lamar down, its the Steelers defense.The X-factor this season is Derrick Henry. If the Steel defense can limit Henry, they can make it a competitive game. If Henry gets going, then its curtains for the Steelers because a good Ravens rushing attack will open up their passing attack and the Steelers will be at the beach soaking up the sun by next monday.
Great points on them only passing when they have to, instead of when they should. But Ruds takes SO long to get ribbon the ball, I have time to read his eyes from the couch. Allbgreat qb's have a quick release. Put Fields in and let him go!

I am afraid Tomlin is on the Hotseat:)
If not he should really be on the hot seat
Naw , Only thing Tomlin is on would be the NFL Poster Child for DEI he checks a Box and that Box being Checked is His Super Power , his shield from Accountability it also shield The Rooney's from Accountability and The Players as well , in 18 season as a NFL Head Coach the Best Tomlin can do is Russ Wilson or Justin Fields at QB really , and he gives Them a O Line of No Body's , also in 18 season as an NFL Head Coach he has a Pack of No Body's as his Players Coaches not a single Tomlin Coach will ever be a Head Coach . A Poster Child need not Excel at anything and at that Tomlin really does Excel, He has a couple of Token HOF players who will never see a Super Bowl win and possibly never even win a Home Playoff game or even a wild card playoff game Let That sink in . Russ and Fields are possibly on the only NFL team where they could even have any Possibility of being a Starter ,neither are even in any conversation of NFL Elite QB's and have proven this over and Over , in truth Only the Steelers even took a second look at Fields and Russ , Russ is collecting a Bag and So is Fields all the Gaslighting is over , all the Steelers Media Hype and Smoke shows are BS all that remains is Tomlin's Super Power , He Checks a Box on some Woke lunatic's Broken mind set .
Mike Tomlin should have been fired five or six years ago. This is the same bad coach that told Byron Leftwich (No) when he reached out to be the offensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don’t know who our next head coach will be but Byron Leftwich should be considered.
I can’t do another season with Arthur smith offense this guy had the same offense every 17 games
The caption says it all.
They played better d after Higgins went down and no chase Brown. They don't have chance against a great offense. Secondary is horrible and don't get much pressure consistently anymore. Looking for turnovers is desperation and the offense can't score and can only pass outside with low chance deep balls. Don't get me start on the toss sweep crap
The toss plays have to go, it doesn’t work

Defense looked ok Saturday held Bengals offense to under 20 points
I’m not mad at the defense.. They’ve carried them the majority of the year.. That eagles game when they had three turnovers and the offense didn’t do anything with it I kinda knew they would be flat for awhile.. Nobody discusses that tho..
@ I hope they can keep it up because they’ve been inconsistent too.
You can hope all you want but Russ is gonna shrink like he’s done in Seattle and Denver. He can’t put up 20 points. That means he can’t score once and get down the field 5 times to kick field goals. Guess who didn’t have problems moving the ball? 🤔🤔 Justin Fields. 🤷🏽♂️
Justin didn’t play eagles or ravens or chiefs. Take that into account. Russell played eagles and ravens without Pickens. Both QBs are good but they shafted Russell and offense by sitting Pickens. Wasn’t no hamstring injury.
Steelers are about to be taken to the woodshed on National TV 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's win or go home, KC with the bye is only team with a easy path.
I’m $100 on the Ravens that basically means the Steelers will win.. 100% 🔒
KC didn't care about style 15wins. Simple a$$ Raven fans looking at beat down 12w 2 less than last year. The very reason Lamar can't win the MVP. His numbers are incredible,but it equated to 2less wins no bye and prolly 1home game. Team Sport, last I check winning is best number u can have. If winning don't matter give to Joe Burrow.
I don't know, I live out west and there's generally a lot of blackout restrictions, but I've been able to watch Steelers gettin taken to the woodshed multiple times this year on national TV, including the last 4 games and that embarrassing loss to the Browns in the snow, a poor showing against Dallas and the first Ravens match where Steelers could only make field goals.
Anyone thinking that Steelers were actually "good" at 10-3 based on who they beat and how they won was always kidding themselves at the time. Steelers were a better team because their contestants weren't that good, or weren't good at the time
We changed GM who turned the roster over in a positive major way. Brought in new SB winning QB in Russ. Highest paid defense.. New OC.. Same results. At what point yall gunna admit Tomlin is the issue.
Once again the Steelers offense will limit the success of this team. Arthur Smith has been a disappointment. He fit the culture of this team, tough and stubborn. I’m not a fire Tomlin guy because he is a really good coach but has proven to this point that he can’t elevate the team offensively. I was hoping that Arthur Smith could be a difference maker but he has not. It’s time for real change. If that’s moving on quickly from the offensive staff then let’s do it. This team will not fire Tomlin and I don’t think they should. If we run it back with this offensive staff then the hopes to win a superbowl are gone. If Tomlin is ready for change then I’m fine with that too
Protection for Russ at the bookends is the 🔑 🗝 for success for the Steelers this weekend. Plain and simple!
I’m over it! Same horrible offensive play calling, no exotic blitzes, Tomlin coached defense stink!
Defense played well even Trice for his first start, he's a good tackler for a corner..

Offense needs to move the ball when your defense is on the field most of the game it’s hard to stop,the other teams from putting up numbers. How demoralizing it would have to be to shut down a team like the Eagles, Ravens, or chiefs then have the offense go 3 and out and have to be right back on the field again.
I don't know, it's a 10 year problem the slow starts, and there's constant issues on the defense for not being tight in the first half as well. And y'know as often as we hear dudes want to play for Mike Tomlin, they sure don't on the field.. Maybe it's Tomlin's open door policy, the BBQ's and helping them navigate life is what they mean, but Steelers have troubles beside slow starts...like an almost complete lack of focus on fundamentals, discipline; blocking is bad, tackling is laughable and pass coverage is optional.
Please get Justin Fields in asap! Kid is a weapon
WRONG!!! He's a liability!! He has a 17-33 record including the playoffs, he has 44 fumbles in his 4 year career, and this year is the FIRST year he didn't have double digit fumbles and that's because he only played 6 games!!!! Look at his stats for this year, he has 6 fumbles in 6 games, so by my calculation that's an average of 1 fumble EVERY GAME!!!!! NO THANK YOU!!!!
You guys need to make up your mind and then when fields plays bad you call back for Russ is never really a consistent thing where some of you guys who keep asking for different quarterbacks you get what you want and once they do bad you ask for what you want to get rid of
@lexushinds5939 I completely agree! I've been saying since before the season even started that I didn't like the idea of bringing in Fields. We should have kept Mason and brought in Russ. Again, like I said in my last post, with a 17-33 record and a history of putting the ball on the ground, we would have been better off with Mason!!! Everyone was saying things like, oh we got the next Lamar Junkson, but take a look around the league! Yes, it's good to have a mobile QB but most of the squads that have them are reigning in the running aspect of their QBs, and the Ratbirds are the perfect example of that. Does Junkson still scramble and run? Yes, but not nearly as much as he used to. The difference is, Fields poor mechanics, lack of ability to read a defense pre-snap, and complete failure to progress through his reads quickly and accurately, will keep him as a good backup to have, but until he figures out how to do those things I don't think he is a quality NFL starter. Not to mention his lack of touch on throws when he actually does pass. He throws the same velocity to a bubble screen that he does for a 40 yard go route and puts ZERO air under the ball on deep throws!!!
@ I don’t mind Justin I just don’t like the flip-flop choices of the fans
@@lexushinds5939 you obviously haven't seen him play much! Read my comment above!
The change the Steelers need is....A NEW HEAD COACH ! I've watched 2nd graders play with more ❤ and Tenacity and Tomlin has about as much Enthusiasm as a Sloth. He can't manage the clock, the challenges or his Cocky, OLD or Lazy players. Steelers fans are Loyal, We Deserve Better Rooneys 😤
I'd rather play the Ratbirds in the first round.
No one will expect the Steelers to win in Baltimore -- and rightfully so -- which really puts the pressure on the Ratbirds.
A one and done for a Ratbirds team with legit Super Bowl aspirations -- and getting done in by a reeling Steelers team no less -- would be delicious!
True fact! Taking out the Ratbirds would make up for the late year skid … and then … who knows?
yeah it was there best option getting the Rat Birds
@@CalmDownClown No, it wasn't their best option -- but this Steeler team is not a SB contender anyway -- so why not ruin the Ratbirds parade while we're at it?
So we all know Russ has a lot to blame, especially that stupid play where he ran for 5 yrds instead of throwing it away. But the play after, the pass to Pickens. Shouldn't Pickens break more to the outside, then towards the middle? I feel like that's where Russ thought he'd be, and he probably wouldn't have bumped the cb as much 🤷♂️
💯 Way too predictable, especially on 1st down. Tomlin wants to play bully ball, but even though we have better talent than last year we aren’t good enough to execute when the defense knows exactly what we are going to do. This was why I was against the Smith hire, not because of Smith, but because Tomlin was going to be stuck in his own run first, control the ball field position offense and try to win the game on defense. How about we try to win on both sides of the ball.
People complaining about Russ he delivered to perfect passes in the clutch they were both dropped, because no one has touched the ball all game! 1 yard runs take players out of the game
I haven’t watched this full video yet, but I 100% agree with your initial points. We CAN be a running team IF we make the opponents at least respect our passing game. I’d not only go 2/3 passes on 1st down in Q1 but I’d make sure that includes more than 1 deep shot. And don’t be afraid to just send 3 receivers downfield and beef up QB protection. We rarely do this nor do we chip edge rushers.
Tomlin is THE problem year after year......
Absolutely true
Bro it’s not him it’s the OC he picks frfr, he does hire well, but he is a great head coach
DC aswell *
@Holly_HitemUp Absolutely correct!!!! There are more teams than not that would sell their first born to get Tomlin in the building!!!!
@@Holly_HitemUpevery year, it’s “blame the OC”. You don’t have a good QB. Najee Harris and Warren is the most average backfield possible. George Pickens is an inconsistent diva. Say it like it is. The roster isn’t talented enough. No OC is making this offense good. Firing Tomlin to replace him with someone worse isn’t the answer either, and it’s what plenty of franchises attempt to do with their good coaches.
I predict that Fields will replace Wilson saturday after the Steelers offense led by Wilson duplicates the last 4 games. Chris Carter's podcast topic after the Raven's game will be 'if Fields had started in the playoff loss the Steelers would have had a good shot at beating the Raven's '. Wilson has loss his feel for this offense, Tomlin is a prisoner of Wilson's first Bengals game. Wilson would repeat that performance once out of 10 games so to expect it now is a loosing bet
there will be plenty of narratives put into play by the Tomlin Gate Keepers after the Ravens game , None of them will mention Tomlin having any Fault in this season's Collapse
@@CalmDownClown I feel like he clearly dropped the ball when he continued to play Wilson. Wilson had the convenient excuse that the passing game was ineffective because Pickens was missing but the truth was obvious,Wilson only had success throwing his 'Moon Ball ' he never picked defenses apart with his eyes throwing passes to every level of the field
Tomlin needed a RB we got the best in the draft Tomlin needed an offensive line we got the best we could get , Tomlin needed a QB we got the best that was available so what the problem, over the years it's always been key injuries' Shazier and Watt killed two or three playoff seasons. Mike is one of the best in the game but him understanding how to have an effective OC still eludes him, I get why we are all upset but I understand, we approached this season to run the ball but our OL IS STILL YOUNG! so people understand were playing with house money.
Yepp he got the 2 best QB's from the NFL Dumpster and the Best Fired Coach from The NFL Dumpster meanwhile the Ravens picked up Derrick Henry ,Had Tomlin at least grabbed Henry this season might have been different ,could have got some kind of draft pick for Najee now he isnt worth a whole lot the rest of the NFL isnt wearing Rose Colored glasses like the Steelers Media Clowns , it really has become a Smoking Dumpster Fire in the Burg .Never any Accountability just toss more Hype and Smoke on it .If they lose to the Rat Birds and that is almost a Given The Steelers media will do as they always do They switch to being Comfort Pets for the Players and Coaches who will Snicker and Slither off the Stage knowing No Body will have the Balls to say 1 word about a 5 game losing streak and the Flogging there going to get in Baltimore , They probably all meet up in Cancun and laugh there ass off at the Pittsburgh Fandom for being So Easily fooled ,then they will start the Horn Blowing about some next great draft pick Tomlin makes or expert Dumpster Dive pick up
Could be the Bengals, all those yards and tds and sitting home.
Better offense then last year and a better defense yet we finished with the same record as last year how is that possible
much tougher schedule this year. It matters
Coaching ,he an average coach so you'll get the same average performance
@@mikeswanhart9249 ehh we were 10-3 though we just needed one more game lol
@@Thatdudepeavey yep. Where are the prognosticators who predicted a losing season? Right here on this pathetic thread, lol.
@@hard8060 Average in your limited football mind but a future hall of famer amongst his peers. Whomever highlighted this reply is a bum
We as in us ! Are about to get treated like a dirty dish rag ? The ratbirds are about to beat the breaks off that azzz !! This is an embarrassment 😳 to say the least damn !
Surprise, cheaping out on the most important position (QB) didn’t work out too well.
cheaping out 2 Times on QB and dumping there former #1 draft pick QB
defenses have figured out Wilson and have his number. one said of Wilson he has free thows and 3 pointers but nothing in the paint.
meanwhile the better QB's have over 4000 passing yards and 40 TD's and are in the MVP conversation then you have Russ and Fields 2 dumpster Pick ups
@CalmDownClown do some research. Fields last 17 games he started he had over 4 k total yards.
Wow only 9.5
Too many media fan boys!
I’m so sick of Arthur Smith already. Watched the shit New Orleans Saints first drive yesterday. Padding on first down. Different looks and schemes. Made our offence look like a dinosaur. Embarrassing.
Every excuse for Wilson but every criticism for Justin. I hope Justin escapes this mess. Keep Wilson and pray.
Exactly. These dudes (these you tube RW lovers loke Cris here) make excuse after excuse.
Same thing in Chicago even when they stripped the team down to a division 2 college team. It’s just the narrative media places on him
@@JOHNPoST-y4u I’ve literally given him back to back 3 skull grades and been a lot harsher on him than I was Fields but hey go live in dreamland in make up fantasies 😂
Russell Wilson is 6-5 compared to Justin Fields 4-2 record. The math doesn't lie
It’s cause they want to be right in their choice that’s all.. It’s clear it was the wrong decision now to everybody…
How the hell we get a 6th seed. SMDH
Our first play every game, is hand the ball to Najee, & everyone knows it, 🙄🙄
Spread teams out on 1st down. Patterson should never be on the field. Play one of those wide receivers that's not afraid to run a route over the middle by the linebackers
Every down should be in attack mode. This is why the Steelers under Tomlin will never find success. Tomlin has no football IQ. He doesn't understand the game. He can't even manage the clock. How can he be expected to understand situational football
Lmao 🤣 how long crap for QB? Show me a coach consistently not losing without a top 10 QB. Show me another coach consistently winning with no prime stars on offense? Clearly he understands football even better than Bellicheck who can't win without Brady.
But you and people that think like you will always revert back to anti black stereotypes...lack of intelligence despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Chris there’s no hope with this team ! They gave up on them selfs
There's no hope due to Tomlins brain
They need to learn how to eat in the middle of the field. A quick slant or 2 that would be nice. those screen passes and sideline passes need to be scrapped they are so predictable!
Fans do this every time u lose.they blame qb and head coach.id love to see Steelers do a few things thou that i feel will help us vs ravens.stop doin these half motions where the wr runs right bk to same spot do more real motions to other side of the field make defense react.russ pick plays that get guys open quicker.get more wrs on linebackers.stop throwin the ball bk to bk but dont run the ball only on first dwns.chop down yardage.play good situational ball.if its 3rd and 1 just run it and pick a good play.right now im still not seeing slants or mo go balls.be proactive attack teams early in the playclock.some kind of creativity like Russ and Arthur care about their careers here some sense of urgency.like every play Arthur call im makin small adjustments to make it work for me if im russ.if my o line getting beat im scrambling im not thinkin i got 2.5 secs everytime im understanding certain downs dan moore or Broderick not gonna hold up and having a plan.im watchin bengals tape on what joe did or mahomes did im not jus havin amnesia im learning from those losses
yeah we just get to do it Every Year , and im an Advocate for No Accountability , but this is Just Lame AF anymore
@CalmDownClown we ll have to see how Saturday go but it's important for Russ 3rd &5 to be looking for Calvin Austin or Pat
They Need A New Mentality That Ground N Pound Don't Work When U Playin From Behind, And They Need A Real OC Smith Play Calling Is Predictable Too
if they wanted to Ground and Pound Why didnt they grab Derrick Henry ? well watch and see what King Henry does to the Steelers in Baltimore this time as Najee sits there fondling his corn rows and plans his Vacation with his Boy Friend
MT to stubborn. If every Steeler fan watching on Sundays knows exactly what plays are coming how easy is it for our opponents. In the over 50 years I’ve watched Steelers football religiously, I’ve never seen a more predictable team.
Burn the playbook
Just to be a devil’s advocate, doesn’t Russ throw for about 250 yards on 21-31 without those 4 drops 🤷♂️
Don’t get me wrong, he made some bad plays like not throwing it away when he couldn’t get out of bounds but a pretty decent game considering his LT got murdered and they had a nonexistent run game.
I think 2 things Arthur Smith could do right away to improve things. Watching Wilson’s career going back it takes him making a few plays to get his confidence up in the Super Bowl where the Seahawks played the Patriots Wilson didn’t get a single first down til a few minutes before half time then he got in rhythm and brought Seattle back to where they controlled the game and should have won. Two things AS should do is 1: Start the game calling plays where Russ can get his confidence up early with short high percentage passes. 2: They predictably run the ball almost every time on 1s and 2nd down switch it up throwing on first down because they run the ball so much in those downs the other team would most likely bite on play action passes. TeamsAlso short screens on those downs would be a good way to exploit teams blitzing to aggressively.
Pickens out he don’t want to play here
yeah he has the same look Najee has had the past 3 seasons . . . someone please take me out of this Dumpster fire
13-24.. Ravens
This coach will continue tilting at the same windmills riding the sane donkey! No changes No adjustments No flexibility ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY...Same old book same old story same old ending since 2010- the 16 run to loss at Patriots was an anomaly fg win in KC etc
Wash, rinse repeat. Years of doing the same thing over and over again. Good if you goal is being mediocre. It all starts at the top. Front office, and head coach.
Steelers cannot get behind in this game. Cannot start slow in this game. Will have to try some miss direction plays to confuse the Ravens Defense. O line will actually have to hold blocks in the passing game. If these coaches cannot change after 4 straight loses, they should be fired.
Losing 3 solid on dumb short week 2 games being away during short week against 3 very very good long term good teams who r much much further along in team building than us I didn't like but with many key players injured than short weeks for non injured players and even when all was "healthy " still short week not alot of prep /tape study time all that I was hoping we win 1 of 3 gamed at least.... but it is what it is with losing all 3. But after thing long week and players getting healthy and staff and players both having time to prep,rest,rehabilitation etc... losing to Bengals at home isn't acceptable idk what deal is. But BUT we did play better on D and if some WR and such could pass an not drop passes russ can just get It there he can't make them catch the ball so let's hope where D played much better that can continue and than some and hopefully O can see once again what was wrong and we can take this week of prep leading to a familiar team in ravens and can win. If ravens beat us again the whole lamar can't beat us blah blah steelers have ravens number is over they destroyed us last reg season game and if they win in playoffs when it really matters that's gonna be awful and lamar and ravens will definitely get that monkey off back and prove who rele OWNS THE NORTH. This game means so much we need to win a playoff game after many many seasons of not doing so. We can't lose 5 solid to end season flipping our normal going into off season "hot" winning multiple games end of seasons normally. And we need to show who runs the north this is pride so may levels. If we lose .... I have backed tomlin and nvr been that guy but tomlin needs to really change entire system and rooney needs to put up money for big name OC DC instead them turds. Also smallest staff in nfl needs to grow more
I'm in favor of replacing OC. Je runs the same plays over and over every game! He has no creativity or variations on the earlier schemes. Throw that stupid toss sweep play out the window!
The fact that y’all still making excuses or looking for a fix with the most overrated coach of all times it’s embarrassing I stop caring and supporting the Steelers 8 year ago they don’t cares why should I 😂
somebody commented...true Steeler fans would understand a couple of 2-15 seasons....4-13 if it meant a fresh start mediocrity is worse than 4-13...OK we are still fans not bandwagon. However after 40 years I am about to bounce off the wagon.
I wanna start off by saying I appreciate the work you do!!! I think it's time to move on from Tomlin and the entire coaching staff. Mr Rooney needs to "allow" the Steelers to modernize it's game play while sticking to their traditional values that made us great!
have the ravens coming up again. if we can't stop 22 it will be a short night for us. put in a 4 man DL and let Robinson play LB. he destroys run plays better than anybody we have.
your going to see Steelers players magically come up with Hamstring problems about the second Ravens Drive
TOMLIN JUST COACHED HIMSELF OUT OF THE HOF…..WILSON CAN’T BE TRUSTED TO THROW THE BALL….
Chris there is no white lining, hope or positive spin to put on this here. I know you are just doing your job but bruv it’s OVER!
Moon balls all evening. What we got to lose
Fields will win the ravens game my bold prediction
Just like he beat the Cowboys?
@@andref9663 he got us the lead and our defense give up that game winning TD
@@roberturbina7912you mean the defense that had 4 takeaways and a blocked field goal to help the Fields offense just for them to score no tds the entire game until the fourth quarter. Yeah fields would “totally” win a game let alone playoff game (sarcastic)
@@andref9663He actually did beat the cowboys! The defense allowed them to drive 75 yards and score. That’s on the defense! They get paid all that money and couldn’t get them off the field so suck a horse Dic.c talking about the cowboys. He went down and scored
@@jasonhuynh8561☠️☠️☠️ you cooked with that one bro it’s true
So… I hear that 99% of pundits agree that Russ needs to THROW more often. I felt the same way watching the game. It was pretty obvious. I think Tomlin is a narcissist and so full of it that he regressed to his old book, even though he put Russ there. He cannot resist his own desire to show everyone that he is the One who knows how the Game should be played. The Steelers is the only team in NFL that pretends to win a SB using a running offense. It’s crazy unless your Coach is a narcissist.
Yep it's a passing league now but he don't even know witch running back to start .
Get rid of arthur smith and if they aloose agsin get rid of Tomlin
The defense played ok ✅ they only played better because tee Higgins was hurt .
relax... Russ is the best option...
Allow Russ to throw quick routes (button-hooks & shallow crossing-routes) and often, sprinkled in with occasional QB-scrambles... that would open up the run game and deep passing game (thats literally how they scored vs Bengals in most recent game)
Pickens couldnt castch s cold
He qb froze him out for 3 quarters, my mind would be somewhere else too.
They’re in the dance there’s a chance. Steelers have nothing lose the world including this fanbase dont think
they have a shot. Go muck it up and play afc north ball, at the end it may be close. I believe
Tomlin is not the solution
Roo eh out tomlin
All of these fire Tomlin fans make no sense who out there would give a winning season. It’s our OC, oline and Russ isn’t our future. Tomlin our coach
Fire tomlin
