Are Steelers fans willing to lose to the Ravens to get rid of Tomlin?

This Sunday's game is do or die for the Pittsburgh Steelers. After squandering a perfect opportunity to lock up the AFC North last week, Pittsburgh is now back home and backed into a corner against the Baltimore Ravens. The players and coaches are saying all the right things and seem to be ready to turn things around and extend their season.

But it doesn't sound like that's what the fans want. Some of them, at least. There is a growing sentiment on social media from members of Steeler Nation that they would rather lose to the Ravens this week and miss the playoffs if it means the team will move on from head coach Mike Tomlin.

Frustration has reached a tipping point for the fanbase with Acrisure crowds chanting, "Fire Tomlin!" during games and even former players questioning Tomlin's future with the team. But to hope for the Steelers to lose to the Ravens on the off chance that Steelers ownership would fire Tomlin rather than make the playoffs is a new low for what is a very cynical and spoiled fanbase.
