Tomlin and the whole Steelers team made me eat my words last night! They looked pretty good…and they BEAT Jacksonville no less.

Repeat after me…..

HERE WE GO STEELERS!!! HERE WE GO!!!

Tim, it sad to say but you are probably right. I agree with your assessment of Tomlin. Ignoring our biggest need in the draft, the wait and see attitutde.etc. But how about the fact that the STEELERS look soft? Our Steelers for God’s sake. This team is geeting pushed around way too much. It just seems like we get bitch-slapped by teams that are physical. That used to be our calling card, right? Its a shame Tomlin does not have this team more physical. I mean a team that can send a message. Well, lets see what happens tonight. I would love it if Tomlin and the Steelers make me eat my words!! Ill admit it tomorrow in print if they avoid these charges tonight.

My Mike Tomlin doubts started during the draft when the Steelers took a running back and basically ignored the O-Line. After the Philadelphia fiasco the doubts were confirmed. By ignoring the O-line and drafting a RUNNING back (of all things) Tomlin showed his lack of judgement and football common sense.

Big Ben is on pace to be sacked a franchise record 60 times this season. I am getting sick and tired of Tomlin’s wait-and-see attitude as far as the O-line is concerned.

But the bottom line is we are stuck with Tomlin for as long as he wants to coach the Steelers – The Rooney’s never fire their head coaches!

UGH!

I will say that the Steelers are playing bad and that the Jags, do in fact own the Steelers. Now with all that being said, I do expect the Steelers to show up Sunday night. Losing is one thing but getting embarassed and blown out by a team that is also struggling with injuries is another. Win or lose, if the Steelers show nothing/no improvements, then I will be convinced that this season will be a looong one. Mike Tomlin must show that his team is prepared and will match the Jags down for down! Regardless of injuries, if the Steelers are embarassed, my Mike Tomlin doubts will officially start.

if anything Scobee would hit the 54 yarder and crush the steelers hopes… but I don’t think it will come to that. I think the pressure harrases Ben all day and sacks him 7 times and hurries him even more.

Sorry Russ, Scobee is money on long FG’s. Had you said he misses a 32 yard FG, maybe, but 54? No chance…

Jacksonville 28
Pittsburgh 3

Big Ben is NOT playing well at all. The O-Line is a trainwreck. The Steelers will probably only get 45 yards rushing for the entire game.

Pittsburgh usually has one big meltdown game per season – this is it for this season!

I hope I’m wrong but the way Pittsburgh is playing at the moment does not inspire much confidence.
