Tomlin lovers and negative ben

[KYPITTFAN]

Ben played a GREAT game, had the ball in place to tie or go ahead with time. 3TD's 0 INT's. Out played Brees this week and Brady last week.
Shut the F### up Ben haters.

Tomlin lovers.
3rd and 2 and we RUN against a run stack D (you have a headset on call it off). Fake punt giving Brees a short field, Should have taken a time out on the plus side of the 2 min warning.
Once again most likey the best team not to make the playoff's.

Feel bad for JuJu!!

Best team, i have to disagree.
We put 1 team away all year.
On the bright side we get a higher draft pick and hopefully Butler is canned

Ben played great, well enough to win

I think the fake punt was dumb

I think we lost this one because of turnovers (including the fake punt) and PI calls (including one that was total BS)

Roethlisberger has authority to check out of any play. Blame him as well.

Here comes the Tomlin lovers and blame game against Ben. What the hell do you people want out of BEN?

I think the defense played well overall, Drew Brees is a fantastic quarterback and they had him thinking, in this day and age of football you're going to have PIs called against you, the refs aren't leveling the playing field, they're becoming part of the game and it really sucks. There were some questionable calls against the Saints as well, nothing as egregious as the PI on Haden that let the Saints off the hook on a 3rd and long and then end up giving them a TD.

Exactly....

The Tomlin lovers will come in here with some bulls/t as usual. But the loss to the Raiders was the game that really did us in. The loss to the Raiders is indefensible.

Defense as usual played well enough to give up the lead and lose the game...

But we had the lead; with all that said, we had the lead. It was Tomlin who did that asinine fake punt.

Change the play when you saw the stacked defense.

[pittpete]

They had 2 TE's and a FB i believe, what are you going to check to?

Short pass to McDonald

This. The Raiders loss is inexcusable. A damn disgrace. And that sh!t happens every damn year. Steelers should have wrapped up the playoff birth weeks ago. Add in the Browns tie, the Broncos loss and the second half of the Chargers game. Just ridiculous.

[Steel Maniac]

A damn disgrace. But , all the Tomlin lovers will point to is howTomlin still hasn’t finished below 500. Lol

I'm fine with the fake punt, I guess that's where we agree to disagree, I wanted to keep the ball in the offense's hands as I believed that is the only way the Steelers could win the game. Two calls that Tomlin made that I hated more than that, was winning the coin toss and taking the ball and the first timeout in the 2nd half, I still don't know why they took it on offense.

Last drives of the 1st half and opening drives of the 2nd half are more impactful than the opening drive of the game, if I win the coin toss, I put my defense out first every time and try to get Ben 2 consecutive possessions by having it before the half and then getting to start the 2nd half.

Would love to know why the 1st TO was taken. If it was to save a 5 yard penalty on what 2nd down, that's just dumb, Ben can make up 5 yards w/o batting an eye, but the TO could be valuable later in the game.
