That's No Moon Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Just now, Man with No Name said: Sirianni sure seemed to have it together last year. what's the deal with these PHilly coaches who are great one year, and a lump of coal the next? And there are people who will seriously debate Tomlins excellence. Never had a losing season. Ever. Had people like Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges finish out seasons multiple times, still no losing seasons. Dude is a leader of men, period. His record is better than Cowher's and ppl have been trying to fire him since basically day one while Cowher is a God figure. 3 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people thought they were tanking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickett was healthy and benched. Rudolph won the job by outperforming those guys. The revisionist history on that is crazy like Rudolph was getting talked up like crazy because he was on a heater now he lost and he’s a third stringer again? also, they were missing a great lb? We were missing Milano…and Bernard…and Dodson…and Spector. Freakin aj Klein was communicating the plays haha oh they lost a corner late in the game you say? We didn’t have tre white…or Douglas…or benford…or Johnson. Their best qb couldn’t move the ball on a preseason week 1 defense so I don’t think op is terribly off base Edited January 16 by Generic_Bills_Fan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 2 hours ago, NoSaint said: 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 beat the Ravens twice.........including once with the Lamar in and their starters healthy. I'm not certain the result would have been much different if Lamar had played the second time. That was a slug fest. I could be wrong but my guess would be that the last time a #1 seed was swept by a division foe was 1999 when the Titans beat the Jags twice but the Jags rode their weak schedule to the #1 seed. Tennessee(unsurprisingly) beat them a third time in the playoffs. But that Jags team was clearly a paper tiger.........that Bills/Titans WC game was seen(rightfully) by some as likely to decide the AFC champion because those were the two best teams going into the playoffs. This situation is different. The Ravens were legitimately worthy of the #1 seed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how mason rudolph is a bum again after one loss lol…dude was playing great. Eventually winning seasons without any playoff success is gonna catch up to you and the side of the ball you don’t specialize in underperforming reflects badly enough on you as a coach. Op was over the top but the reason everyone has wanted mcd gone should apply to Tomlin and then some. not to mention if they didn’t get no burrow bengals x2 and the ravens backups I think they win 8 games max this year. Idk how much of this season was great coaching on his part 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kept it pretty close in the first Q and came out ready to fight. Just another incredible coaching product by Tomlin today. He saw what other “better than McDermott” coaches like Mike McCarthy cooked up yesterday and what Mike McDaniel cooked up the last two weeks and wanted a piece for himself. All these elite coaches, just being elite and superior to our own McDummy week after week. Good luck to Mike Tomlin on his elusive hunt for his second playoff win since 2016. If only we could be so lucky to have such a coach. SUPER SERIOUS EDIT: I crunched the numbers and it’s actually FIRST playoff win since 2016. Man, we gotta get THAT guy. You are being ironic, right?

BullBuchanan Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 You do know he started his 3rd string QB tonight, right? You also know that he was playing without their Team's MVP, right? I'm really grateful we didn't have to play against a healthy Watt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you give them watt back and give us our injured LBers back we win by more imo. Watt is a beast obviously but our injury situation this game was absolutely ridiculous. really weird seeing people use injuries as an excuse for them when we were fielding a preseason week 1 defense pretty much 😂 Rudolph was the 1st string qb I really don’t get that take. He massively outperformed Pickett and trubisky to the point where Pickett was getting benched while healthy down the stretch.

K-9 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I don’t understand knocking a coach who has NEVER had a losing season. 17 straight seasons and counting. Only Landry and Belichick have had better streaks. How anyone can’t respect that is beyond me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think we won that game yesterday because Tomlin was out coached by McD and Brady? Bradys lack of running the ball from mid 2nd quarter to end of 3rd cost us blowing out an inferior opponent. We won that game despite incompetent decision making on the coaching staff giving up big 3rd and longs again and again. We won that game because we have the best player on the planet under center. We won that game because of these battle tested PLAYERS who have seen it all. Thankfully our coaches didn’t totally blow this game in spite of our amazing team. I would take any remaining playoff head coach (besides Tampa) and his staff 100 times out of 100 over ours and because we have the best all around team in the league and we’d roll to a Super Bowl this year with an “elite” HC and staff 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Since1981 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Tomlin is good. Not sure how anyone can each another conclusion. PIT is in QB purgatory still. HC doing admirably with crap QB.

nucci Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 9 hours ago, Success said: Tomlin deserves credit, imo. This team, with a 3rd string QB, really had no business even getting near the playoffs. And they kept it pretty tight today after going down by 3 TD's, without their best player. They could have played their 1st string QB but chose not to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in the first half you can say he got out coached. He made better 2nd half adjustments than Mclappity. The game was still in doubt til late 4th quarter. All Tomlin does is win, and the last 5 Bills games all I heard was winning was all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
