Russell played well in the 2nd half, but he isn’t raising up the play of an offense at this point in his career. He’s not going to play much better than he did this year, so it’s better to move on.
Tomlin looked like a deer in the headlights last night. Not a good look going forward to the future. To his credit, Tomlin’s rah rah coaching style has worked for him, but for the first time I saw the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers look demoralized and powerless to stop what was happening. Tomlin’s halftime interview really said it all without saying much.
Pittsburgh needs to join the modern NFL and invest in an offense and an offensive minded head coach. If Tomlin was relieved of his duties tomorrow, I’m sure that quality candidates would line up for an opportunity for that job.
17 years is a long time and everything comes to end at some point. It’s time to make a change Pittsburgh.
