In a game we knew Ben would be rusty, it was it's usual horrible self.

Instead of calling for a time out, the team elects to let the clock run down to a two minute warning. (Last Cincy drive after the INT)

With time running out at the end of the game. I immediately thought about that no call.....


There was many of things to point to for the loss, Ben looking not so Ben.....

But if their time management was better they would have given themselves a better chance to win it.

Also Bryant and Antonio had key drops.

In a game we knew that it would more than likely be close.

They did the team no favors...
 
I was pissed at Tomlin for letting that clock run down to the 2 minute warning. That 38 seconds was very valuable. Oh well. You can't turn the ball over 3 times and expect to win either.

Yeah but like you said if those seconds were there you damn sure give your team the best opportunity to win...
 
No Tomlin did not throw the INT's, nor did he commit the stupid penalties, but when it came to putting his team in the best position to succeed, he failed at what he most certainly can control. Again.

With basic, fundamental, common sense clock management we should have had at least 2 more shots to the end zone.

Stop making excuses for the inexcusable.
 
What was the two yard out to Bryant all about? If he gets tackled inbounds... I don't understand that call. I don't understand not using a timeout in favor of letting 30+ seconds run off the clock. We are a stupid football team.
 
This is a brutal loss.

that was worse than not using the TO before the 2 minute warning.....

I don't think it was worse as it didn't cost as many seconds as the no call timeout. But yeah it was a dumb play.

Tomlin was asked about that after the game. His answer was something to the effect of the timeout was more valuable than the extra time.

Crazy.
 
This loss and the Ravens loss should not have happened. And they are in the division. And now we won't have our RB for the foreseeable future. Mother of god

Tomlin has never and will never see the game beyond what's' directly in front of his face. Meaning he doesn't think ahead or look at the entire picture. Not going to turn this into a bashing thread but I have lost all confidence and hope for this guy and I'll end it at that.
 
I actually think, Tomlin is scared to make decisions. He just hopes things work out....

Yes. Just think he freezes up, doesn't want the pressure of the call...Not a leader, maybe...

Just getting tired of the same old ****. If he can't understand clock management, put the OC or DC in charge of it.

I would agree with him if there was like 8 minutes left instead of 2:38.
 
I hate to be a poor loser besides being pissed when we go calls against us and not for us. I don't want to hear Brown's mouth again, he was no where today. He thinks he is some super star than make a play, get in the open if your so good. He wants to cry the blues he doesn't get the ball how about running some routs and get open.

You have coaches and 53 players all "pro's". Someone should be able to say "hey a timeout may be helpful here". Idk why these guys turn everything into focking rocket science
 
I just don't understand how you can let 38 seconds run off the clock without taking a timeout! SMH @ Cool Shades!:puke::censor::rip2::puke2:

Ben and the offense looked down right awful.


We can piss and moan about a timeout all we want, but the offense lost the game for us today.

It is a team sport, with time running out at the end with the decision so close. You can't say time management letting 38 seconds run off wasn't significant.

Yes it went

1 Ben
2 WRs
3 Time management
and we can throw in
4 O play calling.
