It's all because of Tomlin's developing and nurturing toxic culture.
After the game on Sunday, Switzer was talking to press. Asked to assess the game, his answer started with: "I am doing my best to make name for myself..."
That's all you need to know about Shittsburgh.
I wish Tomlin remains their coach forever.
Tomlin inherited the lebeau defense and a HOF QB and WR, he won a SB with cowhers team, he hasn’t won one since, he lucked out when the Steelers struck gold on what was essentially 2 “superstar development” players outside of the first round and those 2 + Ben have carried his sorry ass ever since. He never told Ben to sit his ass down and shut his dumbass mouth about Todd Haley and he let that animosity continue until the bitter end despite Haley being a large reason for their huge success recently along with Ben still being able to walk(honestly without Haley’s timing offense and heavy run commitment Ben might be in a wheelchair by now) When bell got suspended repeatedly he awarded him with an extension, AB has thrown tantrums at coaches, players, reporters, all over social media, saying shit that really shouldn’t be said, and he’s never reprimanded for it. He never told shazier “hey, you shouldn’t spear players with the crown of your helmet” and now he may never walk without a limp again. The culture there has been dogshit for so long but the exciting offense has always outshined that.
The ravens on the other hand.. you had Ray Rice’s debacle, a small few suspensions for PED and other things, and otherwise just complete class from top to bottom, we were gonna be the team to sign kaepernick for fucks sake, Harbaugh looks at his players like a younger generation of his own family, he legitimately has love for everyone in this organization, and has instilled probably the most heartwarming culture of any locker room in all of sports.
It’s honestly a fucking shame how little light gets shed nationally about this teams culture but the trashiest teams like the Steelers and pats are media darlings. The ravens have always had a certain aura of family and brotherhood about them, and just high character in general, and only we get to see this and appreciate it.
