After two losses in four days to the bottom-feeding Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots, the Mike Tomlin discourse has gotten out of control.
While anyone who follows the NFL or the Steelers in particular knows how knee-jerky the fire the coach takes can be after a bad loss, this is the worst it has been for Tomlin in recent memory, maybe ever.
And while record-wise the Steelers are still very much in the playoff race, this couldn’t feel less like a playoff team. It seems hard to imagine this team winning a game right now, never mind heading to Kansas City or Miami to pick up a playoff victory.
