Steelers vs Raiders Gane Comments Thread

And you are well known for never being right about anything

Harvin and Ben are more impactful than TJ Watt

So far they have been

Again, the Benjy Bronk-level schtick you think is funny here is your thing.

B2B likes it. Doesn't even think you're bullshitting.

How 'bout we do this: You send (PayPal, cash, whatever you want) $100 to B2B.

I will do the same.

If Ben Roethlisberger is the Steelers starting QB game 1 next year, you take home that lil' $200 pot.

If Ben isn't the starting QB, it's mine.

I mean, what have you got to lose, right? The Steelers would never part with one of your impact players who is in the midst of another great season, right?

So whaddaya say?

B2B's a trustworthy dude. You can just see it. I doubt he's ever lied. He'll tell everybody when both parties have paid in and then we wait.

You up for it, Benjy?

Love Ben as much as the next guy... more, over the last couple. Two games into the season, I'm not taking that bet.

Wonder what the team thinks about that call.

Seems to me to they got the result they were looking for. Defense got a stop. Offense drove field next possession for a FG to make it a 1 score game. And still 3+ minutes of clock left to try and steal a victory.

No they didn't. Tomlin made his defense have to stop them twice which they didn't do.

Go for it on 4th and 1 and get a score then you only need to stop them on their next drive which we did do. Tomlin punted on this scenario though.

I do not believe it was the optimal call there.

I didn’t say it was the optimal call. I said they got the result they wanted. Of course going for and converting would be optimal. And that is certainly what I preferred they would have done. But flip side is worse case, and that is going for it and failing to convert which essentially would have ended the game.

Worse case is losing the game. Which we went on to do.

Tomlin plays not to lose, or in other words, lives in his fears far too often and ends up with the appropriate results.

You play to win the game. To me, getting half a hard should be easier than stopping a hot offense with a defense down multiple starters and hadn’t shown the ability to stop them.

Tomlin creates his own lackluster results more than he is a victim of circumstance.

Boy, STD sure quieted down when I offered a small wager and a chance for him to defend one of his impact players.

So, not a door slammer kind of poster?

Wait I thought Mike T was a situational football coach?

He also doesn't live in his fears

Which is exactly what he's done in his last 2 losses by not following the obvious statistical chart, indicating going for it is the optimal thing to do.

To be fair, Harvin and Ben have had more negative impact with the shanked punts and inept QB play than Watt has by being a Grumpus.

Fair enough.

Hey wait a minute…I know why we lost now.

B2B misspelled “game” in the title of this thread.

I just noticed that.
