Some decline in stats should be expected, but the splits have been humongous for Ben at home vs away.

I made sure to include some notable QBs that might have a distinguishable home field advantage (ie. weather/dome/fans).  While there is going to be some variance to it, injuries, opponent, randomly bad/good games, there has been a pretty huge gap. Ben's splits are noticeably worse than everyone elses.  He goes from being one of, if not the best QB at home in the league to worse than Tannehill away from home.   Even Brees who is known for being a dome QB and has a history of terrible indoor/outdoor splits doesn't suffer as poorly as Ben does away from home.  

So what's the explanation?  Could it be Tomlin is messing with the radio equipment at home?

You know you could've very easily made this same topic without the snark and it would've been just as debate-worthy.

It is pretty weird how much worse he's been on the road, and it really goes back to 2010 - every year since then, with the exception of 2012 his road rating has been at least 9 points worse. 

What's even weirder is that prior to 2010 he actually had reverse splits (better on the road every year except 2006).

Phony-tuff Tomlin gets his guys up for home games just so he and they can get exposed in the playoffs year after year after year.

Gotta think Big Ben is done after this year, and it will be interesting to watch phony coaching without one of the top QBs in the game.

The Steelers have been above 0.500 as a team without Roethlisberger starting and that is with the likes of Landry Jones and (35yo) Mike Vick starting. But yes, the Steelers will obviously be trash once Ben retires. 9_9

Get that trash out of here. Ben is good, but so is Tomlin. He has had his let-down games, but overall he has done very well.

Yeah, old phony-tuff Tomlin has been great in the playoffs the past decade where his great (4-3) defensive mind is on full display.

His act has worn thin and it will wear out entirely and quickly once Ben is gone.

But Tomlin will no doubt go on to coach another team or get into broadcasting with all the other over-hyped 1 Super Bowl win coaches like Billick, Dungy, and Gruden.

I was going to also post this but didn't have time.

IIRC he was actually touted as this amazing "road warrior" earlier in his career.  And now all of a sudden he's got horrible home/away splits.

I posted facts and you come back with this? Go troll elsewhere.
