Steelers Fans Frustrated With Mike Tomlin After Losing Another 'Trap Game'

Yesterday at 10:41 AM

The Pittsburgh Steelers braved the elements on Thursday night for their game against the Cleveland Browns, but they weren't able to come away with a road win against their AFC North rivals.

The Steelers allowed a Nick Chubb touchdown run in the final minute to take the lead, and weren't able to score when they got the ball back, losing the game 24-19.

Pittsburgh is still among the top teams in the AFC this season, but a loss to such an opponent has some fans asking questions about the team's head coach.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has dropped a few games in this manner over the last few seasons, including losses to poor New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals teams.

After Thursday's game, many fans had the same statement after the loss to a 2-8 Browns team.

"Mike Tomlin: Master of winning big games, but somehow always loses to random 2-win teams," one fan said.

"Yup, but remember 'the standard is the standard' 1st round exits once again. Will never be anything with this buffoon running the show. Coaching malpractice tonight," said one fan who wanted Tomlin fired.

"Every single year, the Steelers win games they should have 0 business winning and lose games they have 0 business losing," another fan said.

"The Steelers and the ravens have 2 of the best head coaches of the last 20 years and ask for them to get fired after every loss one thing us fans got in common," one fan said.

"You think Brady or Mahomes ever had their fans shivering in fear when a 2-win team marched into town? No, they blow them out because that's what should happen," another fan added.

"They've been 0-7 on Thursday night games against division rivals going into tonight now 0-8… Should be easy wins for the Steelers that would've solidified they're spot in playoffs numerous of times," said one fan.

"Also blew a 4th quarter lead at home to possibly the worst Cowboys team since the pre-Romo years," another fan said, pointing out the loss to Dallas earlier this season.

The good news for Steelers fans is that the team is still 8-3, and they hold a 1-game lead over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North.

The bad news? Another potential "trap game" against the 4-7 Cincinnati Bengals is set for next week.
