The Steelers STANDARD used to be appearing in AFC
Championships for Super Bowl wins.
Under the Cliché Clown, the Standard has become the
SUBSTANDARD:
Competing for Wildcard appearances,
Bragging rights for organizational stability with 50 plus
years of only 3 coaches,
Consecutive non-losing seasons bragging rights.
The next time you hear about Tomlins non-losing season
record please feel free to use these numbers:
Dumlin hasn't won a playoff game in 5 years. The longest
streak for the Steelers since 1970 merger.
Even longer than the dark mid 80's when the Steelers had
Malone, Campbell, Woodley, and Bubby.
Mediocre Mike lost the last 3 playoff games with Teflon's
defense giving up 36, 45, and 48 points.
The last two playoff losses at home to Jax and the Browns,
two of the worst teams of the decade.
The Clown Cliche Fired the OC after the last two playoff
losses when the offense scored 42 and 38.
Yet no one from the defensive side was fired.
3 Playoff wins in the last 11 years.
Only two plays away from ZERO playoff wins in the last
decade.
1. AB last play touchdown against Ravens on Xmas day 2016.
IF stopped at the 1, then no playoffs and they dont get two wins.
2. If Jeremy Hill isn’t stripped by Shazier when Bengal’s
were running out the clock in 2015 WC game, they lose. Plus they needed another
45 yerds in personal foul penalties called against Cinci)
That is just how close the Steelers are to ZERO wins with
the best talent of all NFL teams had in the 2011-2020 Decade.
The Patriots ranked #2 with 51 players named to Pro Bowl
in 2011-2020
New England went to 9 AFC Championships,
5 Super Bowl appearances,
3 Super Bowl Wins.
The Steelers ranked #1 in the league with 52 players named
to Pro Bowl from 2011-2020.
To show for the #1 ranking in NFL talent, the Steelers had
3 playoff wins.
1 AFC Championship blowout loss.
Playoff losses to Tebow and Bortles.
Both QBs had their greatest day ever as a pro in those
playoff games.
Both QBs were out of the league one year after those
playoff victories against the Steelers.
Playoff Losses to Cleveland and Jax. The NFL’s two worst
teams of the decade.
In 2017 NFL’s top 100 Players voting according to NFL, the
Steelers had 6 players named in the top 48.
They were one and done in the playoffs after loss to Jax.
COWHER with BEN for 3 YEARS,

TOMLIN with BEN for 15 years
Tomlin has won 8 playoff games vs 5 for Cowher
Tomlin went to 3 AFC Championship's with Ben - IN 15
YEARS! vs. 2 for Cowher in 3 years
5 of those wins (came in the ROONEY Rule’s first 4 years)
from riding the coattails of Lebeau and Arians and inheriting Cowhers players
and leaders.
Lebeau and Arians told The Poet to get out of their
meeting or sit down and STFU.
Overall Cowher went to the playoffs 10 times in those15
years. Cowher DID NOT have a HOF QB in his prime.

NOTE: Tomlin was hired as Steelers HC after being a DB coach
for 5 years with Tampa (2001-2005) and then DC 1 year with Vikings in 2006.
In 2005 Vikings were #22 in pass defense.
Under Tomlin in 2006 Vikings finished #31
What Coordinator gets a HC job after finishing second to
last in the league in Pass Defense when he was a DB coach?
NOTE: When The Cliché was told to improve the running game
after the 2017 season by Rooney, The Clown has since ranked near or at the
bottom every year since. In what business in the entire world does a boss give
a directive to improve his industry rankings and then his employee finishes the
worst or near the worst in the entire industry and then get a 3 year extension
as one of the highest paid employees in that same industry?
2017 ranked #20
2018 ranked #31
2019 ranked #29
2020 ranked #32
2021 ranked #28 through 16 games
