Did anyone have any issue with accepting the penalty on the rats on 3rd down in the red zone? I was kind of curious about that decision....

And you blame others for assuming you aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer? Keep posting this garbage,

Dude,
you just posted the article demonstrating that Tomlin made two bad calls on the 4th and short; yet you can't accept that he deserves criticism?
Whether Tomlin is great, good, mediocre, poor or downright awful as a headcoach, there is clear evidence, provided by you, that he did very poorly in the last game.
AB dropped a TD too, and that doesn't diminish his place as one of the best WRs in the league, even though he let his team down and probably cost the game by forcing Tomlin to make bad decisions.
With all due respect Bermuda, if Tomlin's NOT signing off on those situations, he should be fired for not doing his job. He is the HEAD COACH! The buck stops with him, and the excuses and blaming of everybody else but him got old years ago.
Smh where have I ever said he doesn't deserve criticism?? I said myself I would of ran other plays in the game thread. Not the next day. In the game thread before and seconds after the play. For the millionth time I disagree with play calls all the time. The difference I don't call that man a idiot or stupid just because I disagree. I don't place All the blame on him. If the exact same plays happened for Harbaugh(and they did, he went for it too) and we won because Tucker missed kicks I wouldn't be blaming Harbaugh I'd be blaming his kicker. I posted that because the probabilities it provided. There was no 100% probabilities for anything. Once again criticize all you want. I do. I absolutely hated when we started to line up in empty and shotgun on 3rd and short when Tomlin was hired..I used to scream at the TV WTF. But I have never called him out his name cause he chose a different way. I've never said Tomlin is the best coach in the NFL. That's the way you guys choose to take anyone who refuses to call him a dumb ****.

The Steelers coaching staff understands the capabilities of its players, especially kickers. So Scooby goes 0-2 and the decision-making changes....did the coaching make a mistake on the first two kicks, or the last two? Because it looked, on national TV, like the Steelers coaches didn't understand their kicker and/or changed their minds during the game. So did the coaches **** up during the first part of the game because Scooby can't really make 40s reliably any more (so the Jags were offloading him) as was evidenced by the opening game loss to the P*ts, or did they **** up by not letting him take a shot at one or both of the last chances that would have sealed the game?
So was it an in-game fuckup or a multi-game fuckup?

Mr Tomlin has shown poor in game coaching skills and clock management. He continues to show poor player evaluation and development ability. At some point even his defenders have to stop blindly defending him and place some of the criticism he has earned on him.
Seriously?? The coaches are supposed to know Scobee has the yips. See this is the nonsense I'm referring too. It's obvious after the first two kicks they lost confidence in him. But to say they should of known before the first two kicks and deserve blame for the first two kicks is mind boggling. There was no way was I letting him kick from 52, closer maybe, but 52 no thanks. Should they have punted sure they could have. But who's not to say Forsett doesn't break another run and they drive down and still get in FG range. So they take their chances to get two yds and then later 1 yard. I said both times I would of went for it but ran different plays. A fake run with a boot the other way on the fourth and two and definitely given the ball to Bell on the 4th and 1. But I also acknowledged both calls had a chance to be executed. Vick turns up quicker he has the first. Vick hits Brown its a first.

So the solution to their in-game re-evaluation of their kicker was to place the game in the hands of the new starting QB, twice, while Bell was the decoy.
I'm glad you've pointed out the in-game coaching fuckups. Don't forget the 4th Q 3rd down calls....
I would love to know the percentage of times you guys think this happens vs how much it actually does. Meaning how many times does the head coach overrides his OC play call vs letting the OC do his job. Of course the head coach says go for it but does he say go for it and run this or just says go for it and the OC picks the play. Or the OC picks his play and the head coach says WTF we aren't running that do this.
Yes because everyone seems forget or not acknowledge they did try and get the ball to Bell to get the first and Will Hill made a hell of a play and tackled Bell short of the sticks.

Two OT timeouts on 4th down calls says all were in agreement.
So out of that you inferred that I'm saying they weren't in agreement?? SMH. I'm referring to all coaches. How many coaches overrides their OC saying ok were going for it and I'm giving you the play call vs letting them know we are going for it letting them call a play signing off and trusting them to do their job which is call the plays. Do they do it on defense? Crucial 4th downs DC calls a blitz does he override and says no play a safe zone. I wonder how much that happens

You don't think these go to plays are focused on in practice prior to the game?

I would of given the ball to Bell.
Seattle just lost a super bowl in similar fashion...
It's a coaches job to put the team in the best position to win the game. Tomlin doesn't have that ability between the ears. The sample size to come to this conclusion is plenty big enough.

In conclusion, Tomlin remains the Achilles' heel of the Steelers success. His poor decision making, overall team preparation, lack on in-game adjustments and clock management has not gotten any better as the seasons have gone by. As the old saying goes, you can't fix stupid.
I still want to know why Boykin isn't getting more snaps with this much maligned secondary. Makes zero sense.

Two 4th down plays in over time? You're DAMN RIGHT the head coach better be involved in the call. If he's not, that proves he's incompetent. Let me ask you, what do YOU hold him accountable for on game day?

I dang neared bet, every play called, the HC knows it and can interceed any time. Cohwer once said he hears em and can interject at any time. Now I know technology has made great strides, since the cowher days, but would think it still be the case. UNLESS you happen to be playing in gillet stadium.

While he most likely made the decision to go for it on fourth down do you think he is the one to call the plays...or maybe his OC did?
