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.
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.
