Pre-season or not, someone please take away Tomlin's red flag privileges.

I thought it was obvious that ball was out. Just me?

 

[ark steel]

Yeah, its bad. But, to be fair, earlier in his career when you were bitching about the same thing, he was in the top 5 or so in success rate.

At least he is consistent at something.
Maybe a white flag would be more suitable --- signaling we just surrender

It was out, if that there is no doubt. For whatever reason, i think he was challenging the recovery. Spillane was celebrating the tackle instead of looking for the ball. Another guy was flopping around. We did have one guy going for the ball, but i thought it was clear he didn't get there in time.

Nothing better to talk about on a Sunday afternoon I guess...

When it comes to challenges, I'm right more often than not, and I'm stuck with the network's feed. I suspect most of you are in the same boat. So what's the deal here?


Speculation. Tomlin might understand the rules, but doesn't understand how the officials interpret them.


If the Steelers hired a professional replay and time outs coach, the team would be much better off as Tomlin is good at neither.

I don't think I was posting here early in his career. What matters most if the current trend. 2 for 14....that defines the odds big time.

0-12 on critical 4th down calls for his career. No words.

Last night when the flag came out, what did you think when you saw the reply?

That before the flag they didn't show enough to be sure who recovered. Remember, though, i was in a bar with no sound and a tv in the distance.

No, it was so bad my 67 year old, near sighted eyes saw it clearly that no Steeler recovered it.

 

[SteelerFan448]

The ball was clearly out but it I believe Tampa had the recovery so there was no need to challenge.

 

[Hoot]

it was just a test of the communications protocol with the new guy in the booth.

Exactly. I don't get it. Or maybe I'm just that good. Rarely am I wrong, watching network feed, and in plenty of time.
Whoever makes these decisions needs to be sitting in the booth watching the same thing I am.
I wonder if they'd hire me?

You know coach likes him some repetitive agenda.

bullshit, you would be wrong more often than not just telling someone if it was sunny or dark outside
