Tomlin to Steelers' critics: See you in the fall

By Gerry Dulac / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

PHOENIX -- Mike Tomlin had a bold message today for those questioning the Steelers ability to be a playoff team in 2013 after so many key losses and defections.

"That's March talk," Tomlin said. "I'll see you at stadiums in the fall."

It might not carry the same stern warning Tomlin issued in the 2009 season when he said, "We will unleash hell in December." And it remains to be seen if this directive proves to more prophetic than the one in 2009 when the Steelers subsequently lost their next two games, resulting in a five-game losing streak.

But it nonetheless points out what the Tomlin, general manager Kevin Colbert and team president Art Rooney II have maintained since the start of free agency -- the Steelers are not a team that is rebuilding.

"I acknowledge we got a ways to go," Tomlin said during the AFC coaches breakfast at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa, site of the NFL owners meetings. "[We lost close games] because we weren't good enough. Good teams win close games. Teams that are not lose those games.

"We were an 8-8 team. I'm not going to hide from that."
