I think my confidence comes from having played football for the majority of my 51 years of life,” the veteran Pittsburgh Steelers coach remarked on Monday. “However, I might not be able to impart that to others.”
Unfortunately. It may be essential to get a transfusion.
In the 17 years that Tomlin has been on the bench, there have been late-season surges and declines.
But this swoon seems different. It appears to be a different story, as Jonathan Gannon and Kyler Murray, not Tom Brady and Andy Reid or Patrick Mahomes and Bill Belichick, get outcoached and outplayed in Pittsburgh. Gardner Minshew and Shane Steichen.
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 30-13 loss to Steichen, Minshew, and the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday marked the low point — or at least what they hope is the low point — of a wildly inconsistent season. Pittsburgh threw away an early 13-point lead and displayed every sign of being a completely disorganized team for the next three quarters.
Fines. Turnovers. a lack of concern for stopping the run against a team that is starting two backs who have been on the practice squad for a majority of the season. Again, an inability to muster much offensive production outside of poor body language, dubious calling, and (admittance) dubious decision-making.
