Tomlin needs to get a handle on the celebrations

[MCHammer]

Time keeping issues and 2 point conversion issues aside, I think Tomlin is putting on a helluva performance this year. But he needs to put the foot down somewhat on the celebrations.

In this case, I'm thinking specifically about the pick-six celebration that drew the flag and then went on. And on. And then Joey Porter got involved in the act. Not good. This is getting out of hand and will eventually hurt the Steelers in a close game.

Sorry to be a downer, but it bothers me to see this time and time again. It's a needless risk and Tomlin has given too much leeway to the players on this. He's basically trusting everyone on the team to dance around when the team can afford a penalty, but keep their egos in check "when it matters." That's dumb and it's eventually going to happen in a tight game when it matters and cost us.

Great game and yes, I'm glad we won. Just not digging the needless celebration penalties.

I cannot disagree

[BradshawsHairdresser]

Me either.

Jeeze... Have fun guys.... We went up by 16 at that moment. Not like we were losing by 16 and the celebration party began...... I actually loved seeing PEEZY get so excited...... WHO RIDE!?!?!?

Celebrate on the sideline but get off the field first

[Captain Lemming]

We cannot afford to give away any advantage just because some clown wants to acafool. Sometimes a hold or false start happens. Celebration penalties are just stupid and selfish acts that NEVER need happen

How do they call that a penalty and not AJ punt into the stands??

Ordinarily I'd agree, but today's celebration by William Gay was well worth it after how blatantly slanted the officiating was against the Steelers in the first half. William Gay rubbed their ****ing noses in all the **** they'd been talking, and it was cathartic.

The Bengals get to watch Unsportsmanlike Conduct celebrations after pick 6s when one of their douchebag players tries to intimidate the Steelers in pregame warm ups...

I was screaming at the TV. How can that not be a flag when he did that.But Antonio is flagged for humping the goal pad and fined.

[RobinCole]

AJ not only used the ball as a prop for a stunt, it never entered his mind that McCarron might want to keep that ball, it being his first NFL TD pass. It was all about AJ.

Can't complain about winning so I guess this is something.....

[Sword]

I agree...stop the extended celebration!!! I cannot stand it......looks bad .....

[feltdizz]

Tomlin has lost control of the team!

Tomlin has lost control of the team!

I know! They keep winning no matter how much he tries not to.
