The spike on 2nd and 6

[Steelers1356]

Is when the game was lost. You have one time out with over 30 seconds left in the half, take the final timeout and regroup, use the extra down to get the ball closer to the endzone, never waste a down like that you can spike the ball when you get closer to the goal line and still have a chance to score a TD. Ben needs to think and not panic in those situations. Instead, after the 3rd down sack you're forced into a long field goal on the edge of Suishams range, FG is missed letting Tampa hang around instead of the Steelers being up by 10 or 14 points at the half. Pathetic.

For all of his gifts, Ben is not the most football-smart QB out there. And he's never had a teaching OC. Whiz was a playcaller first and foremost. Arians was a downfield maniac who refused to implement any smart, quick-hitting plays. Haley is a playcaller (and a bad one at that) whom Ben doesn't like and who doesn't go downfield.

The standard is the standard...and Tomlin's standard sucks!

Wasted play. Had plenty of time to do something, but that is how they manage time at the end of halves.

I would settle with a little coaching intervention. It's not the first time Ben has done that.

Not taking a time out when there was 2 something left after Tampa s third down was the worst. You give your franchise QB who was heating up as much time as you can give him. Then he has to make it happen.

Carr would be above the line...
