LOADED? ehhh don't know about that. They definitely underachieved in like 3 or 4 seasons, but not the whole decade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having a decent running game isn't doing Ben any favors either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they had elite offensive lines for most of that time. What was the last impressive playoff win they had? At what point does Mike Tomlin have to get back to the Superbowl? Or is just “not having a losing season” ok? Edited December 25, 2020 by CP3MVP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They barely beat the Bengals that 1 game because of how undisciplined they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Jacksonville playoff game had Ben/Brown/Bell making some of their greatest ever plays but they still got beaten decisively. Then the recent NE AFC Championship in 2016-17. This year they have a championship caliber defense. They got to get the running game going to open up the middle of the field. It’s too much sideline to sideline and they can’t hit teams over the top because the O-line has fell off. They are not far off but winning in KC unlikely unless they can force turnovers early.

Tk3 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I'm late on this thread... but Ben is the problem - and Ben's decline has been the reason that Tomlin's playcalling has fallen apart. He can only call what he is confident that his QB can do Ben wasn't even that great earlier in the season tbh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two games before that? His receivers suddenly forgot how to catch the football. Ben has had to learn how to get rid of the football right after the snap, and he's adapted very well to that if you look at the whole season. Trust me, he's far from being our problem. So it's Tomlin's fault that the receivers forgot how to catch the football? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Bowl is a high bar though. He’s been to a Super Bowl more recently than Sean Payton, and the same amount as Reid, who went without making it 2005-2019. I don’t think it’s fair to hold against Tomlin. Belichick is the only HC who made the SB consistently 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 As a Ravens fan, yes I also agree Tomlin is the problem and they should fire him ASAP and extend Ben. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belichick is the only HC who made the SB consistently Sean Payton is Overrated too. 3 straight 7-9 seasons with Drew Brees and choked in the playoffs the last 3 seasons in a row. I don’t put Reid In that category becayse he’s showing you what he can do with a HOF QB in his prime like Tomlin and Payton have had for a decade plus. First year 12-4 all time offense and an overtime from the Superbowl. Second year 12-4 and title, 3rd year one loss and the overwhelming favorite for a ring this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like everyone knows he’s good except for a subset of morons in the Pittsburgh fan base that want to drive him out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
