Faultlines were exposed in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 30-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday, which pitted head coach Mike Tomlin against quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who is now retired after leading the team to two titles.
The one bright spot for Pittsburgh, if there was one, was that they fell short against a different playoff contender this time around. Still, it was their third straight defeat. They have suffered losses to the Arizona Cardinals and the New England Patriots, two 2-10 teams, during the past two weeks.
The Indianapolis Colts defeated a club that has always taken pride in being difficult to score against by scoring 30 points despite being without starting quarterback Anthony Richardson and star running back Jonathan Taylor.and struck.
It supported Ben Roethlisberger’s remarks from earlier in the week, when he stated:
“Perhaps the Pittsburgh Steelers’ legacy is over. I’m not sure if it needs to be formed in a different way.
After the former quarterback shared his opinions on his “Footbahlin” podcast, there was a great deal of discussion surrounding what was perceived as a subtly critical statement of coach Mike Tomlin.
But following the Colts defeat, it appeared that more supporters were siding with the former player than the coach. Supporters defended Ben Roethlisberger and attacked Mike Tomlin on X, the former name of Twitter, claiming that the Steelers had failed miserably to live up to their high expectations.
They proceeded to the extent ofThey even went so far as to suggest that the coach ought to be sacked because he has never had a losing season while working for them. Someone tweeted:
“It was correct, Ben Roesthlisberger. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ legacy has ended.”
Here are a few responses from users of the social media site.Mike Tomlin’s shirt selection on the sidelines was another factor contributing to the general disapproval that many felt toward him during this specific game.
“Justice, Opportunity, Freedom, Equity” were written there, all of which are essential values for every community. But some were outraged by the black coach with the longest tenure’s choice of clothes.Despite the defeat to the Colts, Mike Tomlin remains a Super Bowl-winning coach.
Two seasons prior, during his last season of play, Ben Roethlisberger led the Pittsburgh Steelers to the postseason, defeating more favored teams in their division. Among them were the Baltimore Ravens, who are back atop the AFC after choosing not to replace their coach in the wake of that 2021–2022 losing season. Perhaps that’s something the Pittsburgh supporters should keep in mind.The Pittsburgh Steelers have changed coaches during the season for the first time in more than 80 years with the departure of offensive coordinator Matt Canada.
The decision was made in the midst of a disappointing 6-4 season, during which both players and fans have blamed Canada for the team’s offensive shortcomings.Pittsburgh’s current historical narrative: According to @PaulHembo, the Steelers fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada today, which was the first coaching change during a season since 1941.
When the Steelers sacked a head coach or coordinator in the middle of the season last year, it was in 1941. Show moreThe Steelers’ failure to score more than 400 yards of offense in a game during Canada’s leadership is a clear indication of their offensive issues.
A major change in the team’s offensive playcalling strategy is indicated by Canada’s exit, as the team was ranked 29th in points per possession and 30th in yards per possession. According to a source on ESPN.COM, head coach Mike Tomlin, who decided to break up with Canada, stressed that the choice was not done lightly.
Tomlin emphasized the decision’s layers while considering the team’s most recent Week 11 defeat to the Cleveland Browns, 13-10.
Tomlin said, “I did not make this decision lightly.”
“It is my responsibility to take in and safeguard the people I work with. That’s not how I feel about this. I’m not blaming or skirting the issue in any anyway. You may be sure that this was not an easy decision to make. Matt is someone I greatly admire on both a personal and professional level.”
Although Tomlin did not immediately specify who would take over as Canada’s permanent replacement, he did reveal that RB coach Eddie Faulkner would do so.The NFL is still fully committed to struggling quarterback Kenny Pickett.
Notwithstanding Pickett’s difficulties, Tomlin praised the second-year player’s work ethic and voiced hope for his future progress.
“This guy is willing to do anything and everything,” Tomlin declared.
“He puts in a lot of work. Football justice is a real thing. Those folks typically find what they’re searching for. I continue to be positive about his growth and development because of this.”
Tomlin stated, “I’m focused on this week in terms of Kenny’s development,” in reference to the pivotal weeks that lie ahead for Pickett’s career. Man, we’re not pissing on the fire.”
With the lowest pass touchdown percentage since 1970, Pickett will be under closer inspection when the Steelers play the rest of the season.With Canada out of the picture, Pickett comes under more scrutiny. He has been criticized for making poor decisions, taking unnecessary sacks, and playing inconsistently.
Given that the Steelers selected Pickett in the first round, they need to see results worthy of their investment, particularly in light of his decline from the prior campaign.
Although Canada’s firing deals with one facet of the offensive issues, Pickett still bears some of the blame.
Pickett needs to do better at passes that go unattempted and misreads routes in order to establish himself as the Steelers’ quarterback of the future.
One may argue that the decision to break up with Canada was made strategically to give Pickett a fair assessment and see if he could guide the team to victory on his alone.
