This is the best coaching pool I can remember, tbh. Harbaugh, BB, Carrol?

Insane lol

Signed per schefter

Romo was raving about them because he stopped doing his homework a couple years ago. Both are not the players they used to be. Ultimately they are both massive leaders in the locker room and were probably the best FA pick ups of the McD era. They were instrumental in getting this team out of the drought and to where they are today. As @DrDawkinstein said, they should both be gone next year, sadly.

Should be a 15 yard penalty imo

Tua should thank his lucky stars that Brock Purdy emerged when he did. There was only enough room for one narrative in the media about a physically limited QB being propped up by his elite skill position players and scheme. Paying Tua is a death knell for this version of the Dolphins. I guess if they believe in him they gotta stick with him but yikes man.

Kinda comes with the territory with lots of guys making first career starts imo

McD has had Dorian Williams and AJ Klein getting defensive alignments set. Didn’t that big rushing TD by the Jets week one happen because Bernard screwed up alignment? I feel like some major defensive screwups are okay to call TOs for.

I think the only reason folks thought the Browns had a shot was good old fashioned divisional hijinks.

The best tweet was: ”Tell us about a time you succeeded against incredible odds and how you did it.”

Hard to disagree with a lot of your summary. I think I would add: 7. Mike Tomlin would not be employed by the Pittsburgh Steelers this long if he hadn’t won a Super Bowl in 2009.

The way this postseason is going, Dorian Williams will probably have a defensive TD next week and Von Miller will make the game winning sack in the AFCCG

The premise is that a lot of these coaches that posters swear up and down are superior to our coach are going to Cancun. And we are alive. Over the last month, I have defended McD’s resume against the following coaches: Tomlin, McDaniel, Sirianni, McCarthy (seriously), Bowles (seriously), Harbaugh, Stefanski, etc etc. You can go look back at my posts. I have ripped Harbaugh for not having more than one playoff win since 2014 like 100 times. To insinuate any kind of “subtext” behind my OP because I mostly referenced the guy our team flat out beat in the context of the discussions above is just wrong. And it’s honestly really not ***** cool. To be clear, this is the last time I’m going to engage with you. I don’t have a single person on my block list but you’re gonna break that for me. Peace.

I thought Diggs played a lot better yesterday than most of the season and had a lot more pop.

You accused me of “subtext and gaslighting.” I guess I’m accusing you of the same, because you didn’t flat out say I was a racist.

Yeah because that’s insane to accuse me of subtly implementing RACIST subtext because I think McD is just as good a coach as Tomlin, McDaniel, Sirianni, Harbaugh, Stefanski or whoever is the next coach du jour. I reported your post. You should probably never read or respond to me again.

???? what lmao. You’re unfortunately missing the forest for the trees.

That’s actually completely wrong. Daniel Jones is first string and is injured for the year. Tyrod started as a backup only. Mason Rudolph is starting with Kenny Pickett, healthy, backing him up. It’s like folks don’t even pay attention around the league. No, it’s not Tomlin’s fault. But I still won’t say he’s a better coach than McD, either.

Does Tomlin work with his GM or just follow orders? I’m pretty sure he’s allowed to say, “I’m not content to win 9 games and get dominated in the postseason, can you make some moves for better QB talent?” Mason Rudolph is the first string QB.

The Steelers could trade some pieces and acquire some draft capital while still trying to limp into the postseason to get obliterated again. I mean, why not? They do it every year regardless. Why not try to get an extra first for Minkah or 2 firsts for Watt?

Yes. They had no answers for our first two drives. Outprepared and outcoached. if the Stillers went up 21-0 on the Bills early, I’m VERY confident no one would be talking about how good of a coaching job it was by McD having the boys ready to play and a good gameplan. Then again, it’s just more of the same silly double standard when it comes to 0fer Tomlin who gets love for winning 9 games per season and smacked in the postseason.

Tomlin doesn’t win playoff games. That matters too, some people actually kill McD for not winning enough of them, but love Tomlin for never doing it.

He chose to start his third string QB. This isn’t “two guys went down with injury and can’t play.” You know that right? The Bills came out and basically won the game in the first Q. a quick 21-0 start with 2 turnovers was probably the exact opposite start Tomlin wanted. So yeah, definitely outcoached.

I’ve heard lots of folks say that Tomlin is a far superior coach to McD. Ditto with McDaniel. And Harbaugh. And Sirianni. And all of them are on the couch so far except for Harbaugh. Oh well! They’ll always have those fans’ hearts.

They still got a franchise QB after it. The idea they have to win 4 games to get a good QB is nonsense. The guy he drafted in the third round 4 years ago and decided to start over the guy he drafted in the first round last year is his QB, imo.
