    Of all the things that drives me nuts about the steelers

    It's how routinely often they get burned by screens in the most obvious of screeen scenarios.

    1st and 25 to start the drive. Guaranteed screen at some point.

    What drives me nuts, is our HC continuously taking points off the board with these 2 pt. attempts. Been saying it for 2 years now, that one of these games, it will cost them a win. minus 2 points so far today.

      The thing about it too, is that it compounds on itself... especially when they miss the first one. His inclination is to go for it the second time, thinking that is the way the law of averages work.
      I wasn't hired for my disposition.

        i think its an ego thing with tomlin.
        he does it just so announcers mention his name

          Speaking of ego. How do you explain keeping Artie burns one on one with dez and no help over the top?

            My thoughts exactly. Artie is holding his own.. but that's asking a hell of a lot

                He was supposed to have help over the top. The safety just had no clue what he was doing.

                  Single safety in the middle of the field, how do you know what the call was?

                    Defense is a mess. I swear outside of Heyward and Tuitt, they have almost zero talent. Shazier is good when healthy but the rest of them..... No words.

                      Looked to me like the other safety rotated to help with Beasely. I could be wrong, but I'm not going back to check.

                        No, Buck and Aikman went over it so thats why i knew.
                        Man coverage with a single safety.
                        We blitzed 5 and two defenders played near the line.

                          It looked to me like the Safety came down to stop the short pass. Maybe it was a nice call. It's easy to assume our safeties are lost given that's their natural positioning on the field.
