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

I've always been a Tomlin Supporter BUT. ........
....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.

[pittpete]

Jones runs as if he has a sack of potatoes hung over his shoulders...LOL

3 absolutely idiotic decision by tomlin cost the game(fake, not going for it on 4th, then taking last fg)

[SteelCrazy]

The defense showed no signs of being able to stop the Seahawks and he kicks a 20yd FG. Like u said, even if we don't make it we still have 97yds to have a miracle happen. But in the end it wouldn't have mattered because we let a 7yd slant go 80yds.

Yeah but we are not going to live in our fears. At least that what Tomlin says.

its really a cool saying. i can understand why the tomlin fanboys get tingly when he says it

This offense is too good to have to rely on trick plays. They hurt themselves in the first game running a trick play when they were marching right down the field.
Trick plays are for teams that can't move the ball in a normal way.

[Djfan]

Agreed. He's just not top tier, IMO.

Exactly?
Or teams without Franchise QBs.

No huge fan of Tomlin here but that loss is strictly on the defensive backs. Landry threw a horrible pic. Should have just punted but oh well.
Kicking the field goal to get within 2 pts with 3 min to go and 2 time outs is the correct call. If we would have went for it and failed you would have
been calling for him to be fired. All we needed was one stop and turn the ball over to a hot offence only down by two points.
Worse defensive game all year! Looking at the other key players in the wild card race and there schedule I think we miss the playoffs.

This offense is great at generating yards but we struggle to throw TD's in a passing league.

No actually I wouldnt have.
I was calling him an idiot when he took Ben off the field there Capt Homer.

[BURGH86STEEL]

For some reason, if Tomlin went for the TD instead the FG and the offense didn't score then someone would question that decision. Basically, Tomlin is in a no win situation since the team didn't win.

The Steelers were doomed the moment they started giving the ball away without creating any turnovers of their own.

Didnt matter... even if we scored a TD instead of the FG our D would have given up the lead...

probably would have gave up a TD on the kick return

[WindyCitySteel]

Not to mention taking the ball out of Ben and ABs' hands and putting them in Landry and AVs' hands on the fake FG. Completely braindead call that resulted in a 10-pt swing that changed momentum and cost us a win.

He's a terrible football coach. Hoping we lose out, he gets fired, and Munchak - the best coach on the roster - takes over.
