Steelers vs. Rats game thread

And you know that Haley wasn't given a heads up how? The OC, seeing that Scobee was a POS should have already been thinking ahead.

Because Tomlin took a TO to think about it. His "gut" wanted to go for it because he had a stupid 2 point play designed for the Mike Vick of 10 years ago and not the old man Vick that plays now.

Some of Haley's bad calls are on Tomlin. The head coach decides when you are going on 4th. When he's in those situations a good coach will tell his OC that they are going for it on 4th before he calls the 3rd down play. If haley knows they're going on 4th, i bet he would call a run with Bell on 3rd and he'd probably get the yardage or damn close because most defenses these days are thinking pass on 3rd, even if it's 3rd and short.

Each time called a time out as well to give the Rats more time to game it, and if we used that time to call a lights out play, why the hell wouldn't you give it to the guy averaging 5 ypc. Ugh.

Awesome!
 
Scabies misses two FGs...TWO.... Both which could have won the game. I'd have went for it as well......... **** Scabies.....this loss is on HIM. Totally him. He executes, we are 3-1. Beside myself.....even if Tomlin doesn't officially give him his walkers papers he had better not show up to next practice.
 
Really from a team standpoint if Scooby is kept or at least competition brought in, it is a Tombert fail.

As you can say the kicker was the main reason the Steelers lost the game.
 
the worst part of losing to the ravens is hearing them talk like they did something great and didn't benefit from a ton of steeler unforced mistakes.

Oh, so know you KNOW that Tomlin's calling all Haley's bad calls now, huh? On that note goodnight.

I'm not sure why you even respond to them, they already had their blame Tomlin for loss before the game even started. Short sightedness and without reason is typical on this board. Don't even ask why they're blaming Tomlin, you'll just get the whole "unprepared" template.

Yeah ok

**** this pussyfooting slack-jawed ******-*** coaching staff
 
Geez guys, it's not like we have the formerly #1 rusher in the AFC sitting on the bench or anything... You know, a big back who can push the pile for a yard or two when you really need him to.

Oh wait

on 4th down, yes. That's pretty standard at all levels of football that the head coach makes the 4th down calls.

as usual the Tomlin apologists try to exaggerate the criticism to create a strawman. Now i'm saying Tomlin is responsible for ALL the calls? i never said that.
 
IMO, we SHOULD have used the 'go for 2' play after the TD that brought the score to 19-7. With 21 points on our side, it would have forced the Ravens into some bad situations.

That said, the decision NOT to kick in OT means Scobee is DONE in Pittsburgh. You give him the chance to redeem himself and gain confidence OR you go for it on 4th down and send him a message that he is unreliable that will stick w him all year.
Hell, put Villanueva in the backfield and let him run over someone for a first if you're not giving it to Bell. Games like this make the game hard to watch!
 
on both offensive series they went with the pass on 3rd and 4th and short, having Bell there doing his magic through the whole game and you don't use him? With Vick as the qb? **** that, the play call was horrible, as horrible as scobee's shitfest.

Kudos to the D, 4 turnovers, what else can you ask from them?

They looked horrible and did everything they possibly could to give us this game. It was right there for the taking.
 
A beautifully snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Well done! I don't know why i bothered watching. All i came away with was anger at foolishness.
