You guys don't deserve Mike Tomlin. If you don't enjoy the fact that you have been in contention for the playoffs every December for 15 years then screw you guys. Tomlin should leave you immediately. You guys don't deserve Tomlin and if I was him I would resign right before the Pitt vs KC game. F' the Steelers.  

Different expectations.

If they WON in the playoffs (or were competitive the last couple years) you'd have a point.

With the talent on the Steelers we do kind of expect to make the playoffs or have a chance to.  But then to see the failure IN the playoffs makes it less newsworthy.

I was opining last night about how everyone says what an amazing job Tomlin did this season when the defense was so bad (obviously not his fault, right?) and the offense was anemic (obviously not his fault, right?) and how LV lost their coach and still made the playoffs.  And they were competitive in that game they lost last night.

Next season, without Ben, will be one of the few very challenging seasons Tomlin has had when he couldn't just rely on his stars to make plays.

So we'll see.

We said the same about Cowher until he won the Super Bowl. Good but not great.
