I always love the way Tomlin's teams play. He's very much like McDermott. Sticks to the process, always looking to get better. Give him a franchise QB and he's always going to be contending.

Meh. We have perhaps the best player in the nfl at perhaps the most important position in all of sports. 
 

Tomlin blew the end of the first half, but his team did a lot for having such a large talent deficit even before taking their best player in watt away 

They lost by 14 points. So if Tomlin was on McD’s level, are we arguing they would have lost by 40?

Bad take as others have said. Yes, Tomlin does not have a recent playoff victory.

 

His team got beat, but he has lesser talent and got 10 wins. He has been a solid coach and has championships.

 

Not the guy to make fun of.

Bills player talent out-shined the Steelers coaching. Simple as that.

 

Still saw plenty of mistakes in situational football from our own staff. But we have Superman at QB and that's what matters most in this league.

 

Kudos to Tomlin for coaching up a sad sack roster to squeak into this game. More kudos for figuring out a way to get it to a 7 point game toward the end.

Ben missed all of 2019 and was 38 and 39 in 2020 and 2021 and a shell of himself. So you want to review the 2016-2020? He lost to Tom Brady in a AFC Championship game. I don't know what your point is here. 

He hasn’t won a playoff game since 2016 my man. Yet he’s talked about like this total superior coach to McD, and there he goes, going home again.

0-5  last 5 playoff games  Even die hard Steelers fans are ready to a change

 

"Die Hard" Steelers fans have been ready for a change since his first year. They were idiots then. They're still idiots today.

Maybe, but they are going to need to face a harsh reality:

 

The only way they are going to get over the hump is a franchise QB.

 

They won't draft high enough to get a solid one with Tomlin giving them a winning record out of mediocre talent. No coach or player decides they want to tank. There's too much on the line for their resume

That's a front office choice.

 

Things will likely need to get worse before they get better. And we know how bad that can be.

My man, he has made it as far as McD has since 2016 and he doesn't have Josh Allen. Please don't compare aging Ben to Josh. McD has one divisional win in his career. Tomlin has 2 AFC championships, 3 division wins, and a Super Bowl.

?

 

He hasn’t won a playoff game since 2016. McD has how many playoff wins?

 

It’s very cool that he won a Super Bowl when a plucky Senator from Chicago ran for President, but Mason Rudolph was still using coloring books at home at that time. 
 

Does nothing for the guys currently.

They should make a push for Cousins.

Go back to 2018. We were drafting 21 & 22 & made it up to #7.  Many around here couldn't imagine getting up to 7 from 21, but Beane found a way and got a little lucky because nobody took Josh in the top 6.  If Pittsburgh wants to they could package a combination of players & pick to move way up.  However, it takes guts & a conviction that you are drafting the right franchise QB.

The Bills got their franchise QB after 9-7 and a playoff berth.

9-7 and a playoff birth or one win better than Rex Ryan, however you want to frame it

Cousins looks a lot better on paper than he does on the field, plus he's coming back from a major injury that some players never are the same after.
