Me too, but not due to pettiness.

This is honestly the worst case scenario. BB seemed pretty done in the first game last year. There's no heir apparent. We'll get a late draft pick. Tomlin will still get credit for a good season.
Do I know this team or what?
Let's see what Tomlin said during his post game press conference:
Exactly the same thing he says after every loss. What a leader!"It is what it is," Tomlin said when asked about personal accountability for the postseason failures. "Our record is our record. Our performances are our performances. Don't run away from that."
Rooney needs to fire Tomlin, ask him to resign, or force him to fire his whole staff. Rooney will never fire a black coach, particularly with the team's coaching history, due to his politics. However, at some point, doesn't equality also mean holding everyone accountable in the same way and not handling them with kid gloves? Noll retired 12 seasons after winning the Super Bowl. Mike Tomlin won a Super Bowl 12 years ago...
