I've Always Been a Tomlin Supporter BUT......

[NJ-STEELER]

It was the right call.

If if the defense stops a 3rd and long, we have the ball and only need to get in FG position for the win.


Agreed on the fake FG though. Either take the points (always need points) with ur kicker who has only 1 miss on the year.
Or go for it with the reg offense on the field

....when he went for the FG on 4th and goal at the 3???

Mr. "Go For Two" doesn't have a play ready for that situation? ?
So you don't make it....the Hawks would have been backed up on the 3. A much better situation for a pitiful defense.

I'm sure he will have fancy catch phrases for us at his press conference and all will be fine.

The fact that Jacoby Jones is on this team is enough for me to question his judgement. Pathetic.

I was coming on here to basically say the same thing. The decision to not go for it down deep there... I just did not get it.

Actually, your whole post is spot-on. Tomlin will most certainly coin some sort of expression... and Jacoby Jones has as much to offer this team as I do at this point. Nothing.

Well its Sunday and we just lost in Seattle. Most fans probably arent on here because its a holiday weekend and most had this game as a loss when the season started.

I don't know man. I've seen a heck of a lot of activity on here this evening... since the game was over..

and this game has nothing to do my comments about Tomlin's middle of the road teams since we played the Packers in the SB

Denver just beat NE with a backup QB, while the Denver kicker misses two FG. Denver 2-0, Indy 4-0 with backup QBs.

Excuses rolled out for Tomlin apparently aren't universally needed.

Kubiak benched a HOF QB that was hurting his team, Tomlin won't bench Antwon Blake. Lake says Boykin can't see the field because all the other corners are playing so well.

No other team has to get out of the way of its coaches like the Steelers do.

Did the Rooneys ever actually interview Ron Rivera? I can't remember whether they did but I do know that he was a candidate way back then. Instead they, in their wisdom, selected that ding dong Tomlin who we're stuck with now.

LOL.. Rivera was on the hot seat but he has turned things around in Carolina.

One thing you have to remember is Carolina was 2-14 when they drafted Cam and they went 6-10 when they drafted Kuechly.

Solid team right now but they lost a lot whule rebuilding.

We won with backups and people complained..

Denver also has a great defense. When we had a great defense people complained about how the coaches were holding Ben back....

Apparently, the Pats** can't get out of their own way, then...

But, we're on here complaining about Tomlin after a game where our QBs threw 4 INTs...

And our coach runs a fake FG play after a timeout with the defense calling it out, and an offensive linemen as the target. A coach who smugly says at halftime that he doesn't live in his fears, and proceeds to do that twice inside the five. A coach who won't bench Antwon Blake and thinks the secondary, the secondary HE COACHED IN CAMP, is playing good football.

This team underachieves every single year under this dunce.

But we get it - he only gets credit for the wins with Slapnutz. The losses are all on the players.

White Guilt is a bitch.

This is the defense Tomlin drafted and coached in camp this year. This team is his team. His players, his schemes.

He is 6-5. He owns it.

I don't mind the FG on 4th to make it a 2 point game. The defense simply has to step up. They had them. 3rd and 10 and with a stop they get the ball back with the 2 minute warning, timeouts, and only need a FG to win the game with a very good kicker. Tomlin put the team in a position to win but the players on D didn't execute. Have to make 1 play there, and not that hard of a play either on 3rd and long.

I hope it's not true but I think it's a real possibility to lose the next three games. Hasselbeck is 4-0 (with 7 TDs and 2 ints) since coming in for Luck, Osweiler will certainly not be intimidated and will have 2 more starts under his belt, and Dalton has already beaten them and that is an away game.

Excactly. The secondary is just weak and no amount of coaching them up can make up for the lack of quality players. IMO Butler has done a great job changing the way the front 7 plays to cover and being more aggressive for the secondary but it will be a delicate balance until we get some better CBs.

Expecting that defense to step up after what you had seen all day and all year?

Sheer and utter stupidity.

Pats finally lost... not sure what that has to do with us losing 5 games

if course he owns it...lol.

every win and every loss goes on his resume.

We lost to Russell Wilson. His hero lost to Brock Osweiler. Clearly, and inferior coaching job...
