With the firing of Josh McDaniels and the Raiders GM it made me think.

Now I know that the Steelers have had more success than the Raiders and are a much more consistent franchise. But look at the Raiders standards and expectations for their team. They expect wins and results on the field and aren’t afraid to make changes. All while the Steelers are completely fine with a .500 season and no losing seasons for almost 20 years.

I see something like this and it pisses me off that the Rooney’s don’t hold their coach to higher expectations. I don’t think they should fire Mike Tomlin after 1 or 2 seasons of not meeting expectations, but how about 7? Or how about being embarrassed in games multiple times or losing when they were favored to win?

Again, I wouldn’t rather be a Raiders fan, I just wish the Rooney’s would have similar expectations and standards.

    You ever think that maybe the Steelers, as a franchise, are more successful because they don’t overreact and are way more stable?

    Volatility and change for the sake of change isn’t good for winning in pro sports.

    I’m still irked by that comment coach T made about the turnovers the D got, basically not being good enough, because they didn’t “tee up” the offense for better field position. I still can’t believe that came out of his mouth.

    If I was a defensive player on this team, I’d be PISSED about that. FFS the defense is the ONLY reason we’re even in any games at all.

    On paper Steelers are way better than the Raiders. But in reality not much different. Raiders in playoffs 2 years ago. They have had worse seasons mostly but honestly aren’t you tired of 9-8, 8-8 etc? Not saying Tomlin should be fired but he needs to feel a little heat. And maybe pressured to hire assistants that aren’t yes men.

    Fans so desperately want this mid franchise to be a dumpster fire organization

    Dude you’re comparing a losing organization to one of the most stable in nfl history. The raiders issued start up top with ownership. They’ve had countless coaches the last 20 years. We don’t need that headache.
