Going for two pt. conversion...

An awful lot happened after that, no way to say it would have turned out the same way. They had TDs when we had fgs. That's the biggest thing. If we kicked the XP and had 16 pts, then they don't go for 2 and end the game with 17 pts and maybe win the game anyway if Boswell doesn't kick the FG. -
I hear ya, i didnt really think about it either until it came into play later at the end.sigpicComment

I thought about it when they went for 2 and hoped it didn't come back to bite them. Tomlin was being aggressive and that seems to just be the way he is. I don't think he will ever change that. I was 50/50 on it at the time but I understood the reasoning. I didn't see it as a huge gamble, but a little unorthodox.Comment

I thought it was a good risk to try and make it a 3 score game, especially since they weren't moving the ball and ben was starting to get going. Worst case scenario is you don't get it and your up by 15.Comment

It made no sense and was stupid. Eventually, we'll get burned by this nonesense. Thankfully, it didn't happen tonight. Go Steelers.Comment

They make the 2 pt conversion more than 50% of the time. They should go for it every time.Comment

It made sense to try to make it a three-possession lead. It was not stupid.Comment

I was fine with it tonight because a 15 or 16 point lead is still 2 possessions, a 17 point lead is 3 possessions, I just wish Ben would have run the effing thin into the endzone, I'm not sure why he threw it, unless there were Bengals that I couldn't see on TV. Hating on this one is just showing your dislike for Tomlin.

It was the right call as evidenced by the bengals scoring 2 tds and a FG
with the extra point we lose 17-16.
Needed to try and get to 17. And I think most coaches would have the dome the same thing in that situation.Comment

The dumber thing was Cincy throwing a backward pass on their 2 point attempt when they were up 1 and trying to go up 3. That was a fumble that we could have returned all the way for 2, meaning that we'd be up 1 instead. That was a HORRIBLE play call.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment
