So here you are now one year later defending the QB who is tied with 2 other teams for the 22nd scoring offense in the NFL. Just 0.5 points per game better than Bryce Young+Andy Dalton on the 25th scoring offense Panthers.
Fields on pace for 13 TDs/4 INTs in 17 starts. At least he's on pace to throw for 3,000 yards for the first time in his career, I guess, assuming he holds the pace that got raised by him going against the Colts' 32nd overall defense.
That is all Tomlin. I've said it for years that he is so afraid of turnovers that he wants the team to play ultra-conservative.
He leaves no room for error. And I've also said that because of that, since no team plays perfect every week, he sets the team up for failure. Not every bounce/call will go your way every week and you have to be ready to overcome that.
When he had Ben and AB and other stars they could extend plays and make things happen to overcome bad play calling. I truly believe Tomlin doesn't like that at all.
Last week the offense didn't change strategy until the second half because he wants the defense to win the game.
He even said they didn't prepare for Flacco and that was a problem. They were trying to stay in a zone to confuse Richardson.
Well Richardson was carving them up and you have the highest paid D in the league...they should be open to change during the game.
Under MT the Steelers will never be a high scoring team again.
