    Wtf was Tomlin thinking?

    Fake on what yard line?
    Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

    Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

    *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***

        It was an arrogant call. And really stupid. Best case, we have a first down, still in our own end of the field. If ANYTHING goes wrong, we HAND THEM POINTS.

          Twitter largely blaming Pierre, but you don’t ask your 5th CB who has likely never caught a pass as a receiver to do it in that situation.

            Come on.

            If it was SF, you'd be blaming the player.

            It was a good play call.

            He was wide open.

            No way to argue it wasn't an execution failure.

              Tomlin did not call that play, it was called at the line when Killebrew realized Pierre was uncovered. Pierre has to catch that ball, it is the right play they are giving you a first down and possibly a TD.

                  Tough to blame the coach when my 13 yr old could have caught that. Chest high, in his hands.

                    This is professional football. Catch the ball when not a soul is around you.

                      Even Cowher liked the call not even knowing or mentioning that Pierre was uncovered as well.

                          Yeah sure worst coach in the league. Steelers are 7-2 in a tough division. Not a stupid call. A courageous call, Pierre should have caught the ball. I understand that those passes that are coming right at you and give you a second to think about them are sometimes tough. But the haters will jump at any miscue even when alls well that ends well.

                            Great call, poor execution on Pierre.

                            Bill Cowher called a perfectly executed fake punt in his very first game as a head coach.

                              Took stones to do it but it was wide open. I'm good with it.
                              If there was an area to critique running tosses trying to get Harris to the edge is just a ????? Not like he has a burst. Don't think we gained more than 2 there on any attempt.
