The Steelers have several holes and it’s just not coaching. The defense has been bad for two seasons. The GM Kevin Colbert and ownership was cheap and screwed up the LeVeon Bell deal. He’s like Todd Gurley, a difference maker running or receiving. Their QB is aging and makes costly mistakes at the wrong times. They are sort of a mess this year. The coach is probably the least of the problems.

Age is catching up across the league this year. Other than the Saints and Chargers there are new QB’s dominating this league. The style is changing and a new generation is moving in. Pittsburgh is no longer the big gun in the AFC they used to be. It’s not just the coach.

League has given the Steelers every chance for playoffs and super bowl contention in recent history.

Agree with Burnsy that the Steelers have gotten weaker.

Disagree about Bell, but that's a fair debate.

The loss of Shazier was big.

It feels to me that they kind of settled into that great market position that the league was pushing them with, and enjoyed and leaned on it, instead of hungry champions with willpower that hate to lose... Their franchise doesn't have particularly bright innovation or vision, and they took a shot at an undersized/fast linebacker idea and it didn't go through...

they are who they are

No question Tomlin's still the boss.

Antonio Brown didn't play Sunday because he was benched for misconduct during Wednesday's practice.

He might be the boss but the inmates are running the prison. Since Tomlin has been there they play to there competition its more to it then Joe Public sees. I will say this and I hope im wrong but I don't think Pittsburgh wins another ring with Tomlin coaching.
