Don't agree...Suisham had plenty of distance on the previous FG & they obviously felt he was good from that distance to feel good about it. It was just a little short...it happens.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...
One would think. But they probably would've demaryius Thomas'd us.Originally Posted by Dee Dub
So the fact that he has never ever made one from that distance doesn't mean anything? The fact that if you miss you probably will lose the game?

I've had it with some of Tomlin's decisions. A 54 yd FG is crazy. I had to laugh when he called a TO before the kick. He's the only one I know who would ice his own kicker.
I'd have gone for a 1st down before trying a 54 yard FG. I did not like the running play for a loss of 1 yard on 2nd down.
You know, thinking about it and with all respect ... if we have to discuss so passionately how to NOT LOSE THE GAME WHEN WE HAVE THE BALL ON THEIR END OF THE FIELD, the point is moot - we are arguing from a position of suckiness, and the real problem lies elsewhere other than what call to make in that specific down and distance situation.
We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!
HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!
not even mad at SUSHI.. as others have said, it was out of his range.. bad call by Tomlin, indeed.. they shoulda went for it or punted. as others have mentioned..

We don't have any cheerleaders but we do have a few of these \m/...
Tomlin just said what I thought in the post-game presser...added that the time-out was due to playclock & wanted to settle everyone down & not rush it.
I understand the concern but considering how well he hit the previous FG you've got to have some faith in the player he'll hit it.

We should have punted, but maybe Suisham should have kicked it harder.We also probaly should have run more effective plays on 1st, 2nd and 3rd down before the kick. I'm just really tired of every game...not just ours, coming down to the the final drive with the team who has the ball last winning. This is now the NBA. And for trying to make the game safer we seem to be getting alot more people hurt. Does that make any sense??
Another unfortunate play...as the commentators pointed out, the play was there to the right but Batch missed it & took it inside for the loss.
