What do you guys think of this? It was a long read but I thought it was a bit harsh but mostly fair. This team definitely has been kinda lucky in recent years with how they win games.

    I made it to this point – which is absolutely flawed logic – and quit because I can tell I’m going to disagree with everything after this dumbass point.

    But his insistence on trying to win with defense and a methodical offense is just not a fit for the modern game.

    According to this author, Tomlin and the Steelers should ignore the strength of the team, get rid of Cam Heyward/TJ Watt/Minkah and magically acquire the offensive equivalent of that triumvirate? How?

    The idea that Tomlin was like “You know, fuck offense – let’s keep our best defensive players and win that way. Chiefs are calling to trade us Patrick Mahomes for TJ Watt? Nah fuck that. Ja’Marr Chase for Minkah? We don’t want it!”

    In no world should Tomlin/Colbert/Khan/Rooney be blamed for leaning into the strength of their team. This is stupid.
