Mike Tomlin is brutally ripped by a Steelers legend following their most recent setback in Week 14.
With a two-game losing streak against weaker opponents, the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a vulnerable position going into Week 15 of the NFL. The team’s difficulties have been the subject of much conjecture as a result of this slump.
Legendary quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers, a former player, has provided insight into the team’s current struggles, accusing coaching of being the cause.
“We would have had another chance in the last seconds of that game if we had had one more timeout,” quarterback quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. It is bad to lose timeouts because of preventable penalties, such as having too many men on the field or not enough players. You run out of timeouts late in the game when you burn through needless ones in the second half. That seems like a sign of inadequate coaching to me.
Since they have been together for a long time—15 years, from 2007 to 2021—Roethlisberger is well-versed in Tomlin’s coaching philosophy. Therefore, the noteworthy criticism from the great quarterback brings an unexpected perspective to the discussion regarding Tomlin’s future with the Steelers.
Roethlisberger continued by expressing concern that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ illustrious history might be in danger.
Recent problems in the locker room, such as wide receiver George Pickens’ disruptive behavior during the season and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick’s public criticism of the team for their poor performance against the Patriots, highlight this sentiment.
In spite of these difficulties, the Steelers are now 7-6 and in the AFC playoff picture for the time being. They do, however, have a precarious hold on the second Wild Card spot because five other teams have identical records.
The Steelers’ next game, against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15, will have a big impact on the postseason. They also have tough games against the Cincinnati Bengals, Seattle Seahawks, and Baltimore Ravens to finish the regular season.
As they navigate this critical stretch, there is a great deal of urgency to address internal dynamics and address coaching concerns..
