Sitting there shaking his head as Jacksonville kept scoring points - it didn't look good. Maybe the fissure which appeared last season (allegedly around the Garoppolo trade) hasn't really gone away.
He could be seen yelling at his linemen, "Do your job!" while sitting on the bench. I heard this morning that he waits so long every year to announce he's coming back because of Belichick. It's also coming out again how Nick Saban felt stifled as D-coordinator for the Browns coaching under Belichick. Because of the conservative play calling, apparently.
How 'bout Antonio Brown not showing up for practice? They are saying Tomlin has lost control of the team.
Is that really for the QB to say to the D? I think not, Brady or not.
The Steelers look to be a shambles... it was getting that way last year but Brown's touchline routione last week was ridiculous. If the co-ordinators/coaches aren't going to do the job, then the Head Coach has to step in and sort the situation. It looked as tghou Brown effectively took himself out of the game intermittently - and that can't be allowed to happen. With Bell still a no show, they're looking increasingly vulnerable. Their old secondary woes have returned with a vengeance too. I think Tomlinson is walking a very thin line there.
