Why why why????

[SidSmythe]

Why would you call a T.O. at right before the TWO minute warning.
NOW the Ravens can pass it b/c an incomplete won't make a difference with the CLOCK!!!

[SidSmythe]

Great, we saved 4 SECONDS!!! UGH!

Bad clock management..
Is Mendy braindead also not running out of bounds?

Yeah, he went to the same school of clock management that Tomlin did.

[steelz09]

It wasn't bad clock management.

What screwed them was the defensive offsides.

Disagree. They either should have called it around 2:50 or saved it until after the 2:00 warning. Instead we had no two minute timeout.

The 2:04 timeout put us in position to have bad things happen.

I disagree, on 3rd and 7 with the Ravens offense rarely making more than 5 yards on any given play stopping the clock at 2:04 would have killed the clock at about 1:55 at the worst with it being 4th down. The Steelers get the ball back with 1:48 worst case after the punt.

They played it right and put the pressure on the Ravens offense to convert a 3rd and 7, the mistake was Kiesel's brain cramp offside penalty.

I agree with Pappy. Good call. Bad execution.

[Steelreal]

Of course its a good call. Blame Tomlin and not Keisel?

The agenda is OBVIOUS. WOW

[Jigawatts]

What's worse is the two time outs near the goal line that led to 3 points. You can't burn 2 timeouts and not come out with 7 in that situation.

[flippy]

I woulda called the timeout at 2:50 making it more dangerous to pass on 3rd down and potentially getting the ball back with more time on the clock. Calling a TO early always gives you the potential to get more time on the clock. Waiting never gives you a chance at extra time.

Totally agree. Rare lack of focus by Kiesel is what screwed us. Nothing wrong with the timeout.

It can't be overstated how horrendous this was. 2 timeouts gone and still couldn't come up with a TD play. Head scratching bad.

Oh stop that. Like Ben is a TD machine. Ben is king of the FG. I think the play ddnt get in in time. Thats all Haley/Tomlin

[Steelreal]

No Keisel criticism? Really guys?
