Kevin Stefanski out-coached Mike Tomlin from his basement in Bay Village.

Tomlin blew it again! 1000% should have went for it on fourth down.


Players played like he stood on the sideline, flat.


Mike Tomlin: “It is what it is."
this dude says this shit every year, jackass response, its like saying:

[pologq]

it is like when Sam Darnold says he needs to play better. as jets fans we hear the same shit week after week for 3 years now.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

When you have 5 turnover vs 0, you can't really blame the coach

[stake1]

Tomlin went 1-5 to close the season

[BuckyOne]

Ben used to stand and hold the ball forever. Now, it looked like he was coached to 1,2 throw to a spot versus the zone?

Cleveland was coached to get their hands up and clog throwing lanes which created some batted passes.

On top of that these balls thrown hard at a short distance bounced off receivers for a bad result.

i am willing to say Cleveland was coached well / scouted well.

[carolinakid]

he could see the whole game better watching on the hd tv, than standing on the sidelines too

[Auto Donk]

floki, the first snap of the game and three picks "outcoached" tomlin......... cleveland still almost let them back in the game despite all the first quarter gifts.....

cleveland's coach would be singin' the typical sad song but for all that shit; he didn't have a damn thing to do with the win......

[jjgold]

Much easier coaching not on the field

zero distractions

[stevenash]

Fade Cleveland next week.
Just do it.

very true.....

shit, even on field security has a hard time staying focused on their job with all the "stuff" that can distract you inside the stadium:

[Seattle Slew]

I'm pretty sure Stefanski was not allowed to communicate with the team once the game started. Too many ways to cheat, I guess, by having access to the Internet, etc. It's why they don't allow cell phones on the sidelines.

[PaperTrail07]

Your 100% correct....Tomlin was lost out there

[stake1]

Fade Cleveland next week.
Just do it.

I do not think Cleveland can pull the outright upset, but laying 9' with the Chiefs? when Mahomes has been sitting around for three weeks?
I dunno. Chiefs have covered one time in their last 8 games

[BuckyOne]

No, all the important coaching was done before the game started. To really see the big picture we needed to be at the game in the press box.

Steelers were down 14 to zip so fast. At that point, they needed to address the turnover problem and they did not. They just kept firing and getting deeper in the hole for the same reasons.

Defensive line for the Browns was just getting too much penetration on every play. Who knows what Tomlin said but maybe, it was "full speed ahead" when the OC should have been told to change the play calls so there were not any more bat downs and receivers having the ball bounce off them from lasers at short distance over the middle. The fact that the Steelers could not run is another story and why they have to run a high risk passing offense.

They must have finally adjusted at halftime because turnovers did slow down.

Steelers need a change at HC and QB. It’s time to refresh that roster in other areas as well. Things have become predictable and rotten. A fresh reset would be best. 11-0 to start the season and 1-5 to end it. The same old story most years.

After that Tomlin performance.... surprised he isn't fired.

[Wrongside]

Tomlin is more articulate though...and he is my favorite coach....still

The mental traps were numerous for the Steelers last week. A good Coach would have got in front of it...Tomlin did not.

When was the last time it felt like the Steelers just out game-planned a team in a meaningful game?

[BuckyOne]

Ben threw for 500 yards. Played the way the way he was coached to do. Why is it his fault. Steelers are a 500 team without him?

Going 12 and 4 is not a sin. A lot of teams would be happy with their record.

If he didn't throw 4 interceptions, he wouldn't have needed to throw for 500 yards.
