That was a Mediocre Mike special, that game was over after the last pick. But in Tomlin form he decides to milk the clock with a one point lead and 5 minutes left by constantly giving the ball to a running back who can’t see the holes nor has any speed or elusiveness. Warren and Patterson should get the ball or be in the game for that situation. Tomlin coaches not to lose instead of coaching to win aka Dan Campbell (Detroit). He’s supposed to allow his team to finish the game. I watched his body language on the sidelines, he was shook. He’s achieved his goal for the season, we’re at .500 don’t expect anything more. I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t make the playoffs at all the way this guy handcuffs his coaches and players. Tomlin has a bitch like approach to the game, he’s fkin scared

I'm not gonna sit here and pretend the Steelers don't have things to sort out. The O line is playing inconsistently, and that alone will throw a wrench into anything that resembles consistency.

Instead of seeing that this is one loss coming off a 5 game win streak. On the road, in the snow, three days after a Ravens fight. I'm not making excuses, they shot themselves in the foot tonight. On multiple occasions. But to play the doom and gloom game like some are, is not only ridiculous, but it serves no one. A complete overreaction.

[@mikefreeman945]

Why did the Steelers lose? 1-Poor decisions by head coach. Everything Tomlin did worked against the Steelers in this game. Poor decisions on when to punt, when to to go for it, when to put Fields in - much of it didn't make sense. The Steelers are better than the Browns. Play it straight. Don't make decisions that help them. That was the opening they needed to stay in the game. 2-Poor decisions by players. Too many pre and post penalties that helped the Browns. Dumb and unnecessary. 3-Poor decisions by OC. Steelers play calling too predictable. Kept running on first down and it never worked. On the other side, Winston was airing it out on first down. Miles Garrett becomes a much better pass rusher on 3rd and 7 vs 1st and 10. At least mix it up Steelers. 4-Tomlin did not play to his strengths. RW is great in the last 2 minutes. Why not let them try the field goal at 4th and 2 - and get the ball back with a minute and a half with 2 time outs. You want to have the ball with a chance to win at the end. RW was in FG position at the end even though he had less time and less timouts - he just had to have a touchdown at that point. Terrible decisions down the stretch. 5-Absolute terrible punt right when you needed to make a normal punt. We kept finding ways to give them short fields. Steelers outgained the Browns. both running and passing. Steelers won 3rd down clearly. Steelers won turnover battle clearly. Steelers won time of position clearly. Steelers still lose the game. That is not supposed to happen - too many poor decisons made by coaches and players that killed all of that advantages we had as far as play.
