Tomlin's game management

[topseed]

Ummmm, no you don't. Ben played out of the shotgun for nearly the entire game in order to protect his injured foot. That trumps an individual playcall unless we are talking about a play at the end of the game that will determine the outcome.

By the way, the play was a run-pass option. Ben is the one who decided to throw the ball. Steelers Depot showed this was the case very clearly --- you can tell that the play is a RPO by the way the offensive line comes off the ball.

Ummmm, really? Then maybe you can explain why Ben perilously operated from under center FOUR times prior to that play in the first half alone, two of which were earlier on the very same drive:

3rd-and-2 (4:53 left in first quarter)
2nd-and-2 (14:13 left in half)
1st-and-goal (2:08 left in half)
2nd-and-goal (2:00 left in half)

And, by the way, I mentioned that Ben should have called a run there, but somehow you mysteriously left that part of my statement out of your quote. By the way.
