Quote:Mike Tomlin has a Superbowl Ring because of Bill Cowher's football team and the roster he left intact before he retired. Now that those players are aging and losing the abilities they once had when they were younger and more explosive, you're beginning to see Mike Tomlin for exactly who he is. An overrated headcoach with a big mouth and inflated ego. That's about it. Once Rothelisberger retires it's all downhill for that franchise for a few years. Teams like Cleveland, Baltimore, and Cincinnatti are already getting ahead of them.

 

Exactly my point!  I didn't realize I had to spell it out in this much depth.

 

The team won, and it was a great win.  It very well could be that we are witnessing a key turning point in the progress of our very young players and that's an exciting thing.

 

But if there are areas of concern that need to be addressed, the philosophy of the franchise needs to be one.  In today's NFL you need a coaching staff that knows how to exploit the weaknesses of the opponents and how to play to the best strengths of our own team.

 

As an example, it took 7 weeks to get Denard the starting nod.  7 weeks.  Most here were begging to see more of Shoelace as the featured RB.  It took Fish 7 weeks.  Where was Bradly to maybe suggest trying something new?
