While the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to get themselves back into the win column last week against the New Orleans Saints, there still remained questions regarding their poor offensive showing so far this season. 

Two weeks ago, their loss against the Philadelphia Eagles was the latest setback for offensive coordinator Matt Canada, who has been heavily criticized by fans and pundits alike and has seen his job status called into question by everyone except head coach Mike Tomlin, who repeatedly shut down any chances of replacing him when asked. 

And now, Tomlin is taking things a step further by likening those who are calling for job changes to an "angry mob".

"Let's be honest, OK" When they're asking about change, that's an angry mob that wants a hanging. They want some pounds of flesh. And I understand that. But my mentality is change for the purposes of getting better, not to feed the angry mob. If changing increases our chance of winning, if changes are a part of solution-oriented things as opposed to assigning blame, then I'm all for change. But shooting a hostage, assigning blame, that's less than professional, that's weak-minded, that's not where we are."

Yikes, tell us how you really feel, Mike!
