    Tomlin would be bashed by those who will bash him no matter what. Why go for the tie when your offense has been misfiring all night? You don't want OT, you go for the win!

        Damn right.
        I'm waiting for all the threads started this week, lamenting him going for it here. Since last week, he was bashed for going for it when he "should have" taken the conservative approach.
        I wasn't hired for my disposition.

            I was surprised Bell didn't just jump wide left there was nobody there. Person was taken out by lead block

              It was the right call. That's one of the many good attributes of Tomlin. Even if Bell didn't get in, it was still the right call. They had to go for the win at the one. Great win for the Steelers.

                It wws a great call but man... if Bell didnt get in I woulda been pissed at him for being patient. Great effort. Bell is a beast.

                  Right on. It was the right call at the the right time

                      I hate the wildcat but I'm glad they at least put the ball in Bell's hands at the end.

                        Had to end the game in that spot, Even if we kick to tie I think we lose in OT. The defense was completely exhausted, Rivers was finding a rhythm, and the offense wasn't exactly consistent.

                          Mr. Wizard agree with that with Lil' Elvis. Good man!

                            this. completely agree. I'm sure the conversation he and Ben were having on the sideline was, "you have 5 seconds... if you don't see anything, fall down and just take the tie." HE would have been the goat, not Tomlin, IMO... just glad he got there
