Tomlin’s decision to punt instead of letting Boz kick

Post by K_C_ » Sun Dec 17, 2023 1:22 am

That’s when I knew Coach Cool Shades was waving his white flag.

An absolute shocker.

….and what a punt by Harvin!!

Jibbs just going with his gut there.

Playing to win babaaay!
Jibba Jabber’s offense hasn’t scored more than 7 1st quarter points in 84 consecutive games. An NFL record by far. A historic amount of “easin in”. We are lucky to have him.

Kinda hard to get a 50 yard punt from the 39

Yeah but dude couldn’t pin them inside the 10? Outside the 10. I think the Colts started around their 20 after that punt!!

Even Cool Shades had to be embarrassed.

Boz made a 55 or 56 yarder last week at Heinz, why not trust him to kick a 56 yarder in a dome, freaking unbelievable. Getting 3 there could have change the momentum of the game a little in Steelers favor.

If they miss a 56-yard field goal, the colts get the ball at the 46 yard line. They got it at the 17 instead.

But yes, 3 points would be better than 0. And Boz seems to make his attempts from that distance.

Boswell might seriously be the best kicker in the NFL right now and he nailed 2 last week from 50+ on grass in the elements.

Tonight he was in a dome and Cool Shades punts???

Huh uh.

They desperately needed points there.

I didn’t understand the decision at all.

Also, the play near the end of the first half when Mitch missed a wide open Muth to get a first down with a little over a minute left. They punt and the Colts go down the field n 20 seconds on 3 plays and score! Fucking killed us.

Anytime This Defense really needs to step up they usually shit themselves.

One other thing. Cam is done. And he’s a $22.2M cap hit!

The colts were back to the 46 after about three runs, once the defense was totally demoralized by seeing their HC wave the white flag.

That was 100% on Muth. Muth was running into covered for about the umpteenth time this season instead of sitting down in the gap between defenders.

The play on the final drive of the half was the killer. You can point to that play as where the game went off the rails. Mitch hits a wide open receiver and we go into half time up 6 points (if not more) and holding all the momentum.

Just read somewhere that Tomlin was treating this game as a playoff game all week, explains why they got smoked.

Punt rather than field goal. Yep, that was the problem

I’ll have to look at that play again…I did not see it that way at all.

I saw Mitch making a throw off his back foot again afraid of the guy (who was blocked) on his right.

Scooping up Muth and leaving Creed H for the Chiefs was genius

Kinda hard to get a 50 yard punt from the 39
The best way to not get a 22 yard punt from the 39...
Is to kick the FG... indoors...
Or go for it.

@bradshaw2ben here's a timepoint link to the play t's at 5:47 of the video in case the link doesn't work for some reason).

https://youtu.be/3jnBWydsgBk?t=348

I think your description is wrong- Muth DID sit down in the zone.

If you want to say he drifted one step too far...maybe.

I think it was just a bad pass by Mitch who felt the pressure to his right.
