Good point.
Haley's wife probably told him to wait in the car while she blew a group of homeless guys.
Todd did what he was told and with the wife sucking off that group, he missed his plane.
Tomlin can't discipline Haley for that.

"At the two-minute warning, Roethlisberger said he pulled aside Tomlin and Haley for a private conversation. The Steelers had a first down at the Jacksonville 33. Instead of taking a knee three times and ending the game, Roethlisberger suggested calling a quick, safe, "easy" swing pass to Brown, who needed one more catch to extend his NFL record to 21 consecutive games with at least five catches and 50 receiving yards. Tomlin and Haley quickly gave their approval.
It was an amazing tribute to Brown, a two-time Steelers Most Valuable Player. It also was the right thing to do, not just because of Brown's value to the team, but also because of the extraordinary work he puts in to be the best at his craft. It always is right to reward a player like that as long as it doesn't put the team's win in danger. It does wonders for team morale.
Brown caught the pass and turned it into a 16-yard gain to finish with five catches for 84 yards. Roethlisberger then took a knee three times to end the game.
"I hate having those situations," Roethlisberger said. "I don't like to force something because I know bad things can happen. But that was an easy play for him to get a catch. I told him to look for the ball right away. If it hadn't been there, I would have held on to it and taken the sack. We weren't going to turn it over there.
"[Brown] deserves it. If anyone deserves it, he deserves it."
Apparently Ben isn't Haley's eunuch. You guys all treat Ben as if he were a gunslinging Zeus. Why don't you trust him now?
Stupid play but keeping 2 of your 3 stars happy maybe counts for something somewhere...

dave: Were you surprised that Tomlin was unaware that the opponents have scored on their first drive in each game?
Ed Bouchette: Very much so.
Ed Bouchette: He needs to have the guy who told him Antonio Brown needed another catch to give him those stats too.

Phil Jackson always stressed starting and finishing each half strong as a key to winning basketball games (actually tried to apply the logic to quarters, as well). I don't think that the inability to do the same, and the team hovering around .500, are coincidental things.

Tomlin could push me off a bridge and I'd say it was Ben's fault.

You had it mostly right, so I thought I'd let this message board think for me for complete accuracy.

Right, why have an opinion with any basis to it. Why not just say how you would handle a situation instead of tearing someone way more extreme qualified than you to validate your point?
Maybe you don't know what message boards are for. Most people just throw out unsupported claims

No, don't short change yourself . It's much better with you sticking 5 fingers in your ass and throwing whatever you dig out up against a wall and running with it
It's always better when we're incapable of being positive about anything
Anything else?
