Where is the game thread? Saints edition.

Tomlin believes that those 1 or 2 plays per game aren’t important enough to have a guy in the booth whose sole purpose is to let him know when and not when to challenge...

Yeah this is going to have to be addressed sooner rather than later. His gut is not sound on football situations.

Hey, Tomlin coaches from the belly!

Good for him

[COR-TEN]

Just remembered the 3rd down and 20 that the D had against Brees and they could not get off the field. 3rd and freakin 20 and give up 25 to a wide open receiver.

How many third or fourth and long did the saints D give up?

[bradshaw2ben]

Gutsy call but really stupid. Unless the plan is to let them score so we can have the ball last.

To me, that was just like onside kick vs Packers, 2009.

[bradshaw2ben]

Forward progress only in use when the want a certain outcome.

Game was over when they awarded the saints a free 7 pts

Could have and should have easily been called forward progress stopped, no fumble... which is non-challengable.

[bradshaw2ben]

We’ve beat two teams with a winning record.

So, in all honesty, we actually kind of suck fucking balls.

No, B2B we aren’t the best team in the league.

I said IF we win in NO. If the Steelers had won that game, we'd have been in agreement... but thanks for twisting my words .

[Havoc]

Why isn't anybody screaming about the 7 gifted points?

Is it tomlin's fault the zebras fucked the steelers? Is it tomlin's fault phantom penalties were called?

It was really bad that we have been fucked over points wise many times this season. I hate that the refs gave our opponents at least 21 points in the last 3 or 4 weeks.

If Nix makes it on the fake punt, everybody calls him gutsy and a genius.

I thought the call was gutsy. And didn't have a huge problem with the fake. I thought Nix up the middle was probably not the best fake punt call but I agree it was gutsy. I don't think it was the right thing to do but I don't have a problem with it. If they succeed the game is over unless we turn the ball over (which we are very capable of doing. Obviously).

LMAO at running Nix up the middle on 4th down. This team had fought it's ass off and that was the garbage the HC came up with and heaped it upon his team.

I could not believe what I saw. We had a 4 point lead and the Saints had not scored a TD on their 3 previous drives.

This is one of the most talented teams in the history of the league not to make the playoffs.

Fire Mike Tomlin. He is not a master strategist. You don't keep a guy because you win rs games, you keep a guy because you are trying to get to the next level and you believe he is the guy to get you there. Tomlin has never masterminded a champion, never proved he can do this, and never proved he can be HC of a team that wins big with offense leading the way.

Tomlin's ass puckered as soon as he got the 4 point lead. I could see it on the next offensive drive.

Mike Tomlin is the most overrated HC in the league.

That's as rough of a Steelers loss that I've seen in a long, long, time. Heartbroken for JuJu.
.

Love that kid.

Wish it was Switzer or Washington or some other turd.

Why? So you could say player X sucks? But since it is JuJu and you like him you won't criticize him?


JuJu will use this as a learning experience. He won't ever have to be told again about ball security in scoring range. Especially at the end of a half. You saw Conner start to cover with 2 hands after the Cleveland fumble.

Washington is young and hopefully will improve but he has been a MAJOR disappointment this year.

The jury is still out for sure but watch the Steelers pick another WR early in this next draft because they have to be ultra-concerned.

Switzer will hopefully be replaced in camp prior to next season. Try hard guy with little to no talent who doesn’t know when to catch a punt. Fuck him.

Smith-Schuster is a MAJOR, MAJOR contributor who RARELY makes negative plays. He’s a kid you can almost always count on to save this team whenever he possibly can.

So yeah, I’d much rather have one of the other stiffs fuck up instead of Juju.

Sue me.

Wasn’t twisting your words. I was just stating that we aren’t the best team in the league, that is all.

How is that not a Michael Thomas catch and fumble? I would challenge if I were Mike Tomlin.

and dumbfuck wouldnt even challenge in the 1st fucking half. Un real!

It was a bang bang play. No way would that have been reversed.

Ball came out RIGHT on his second step. You can claim he’d established possession, but the refs wouldn’t have.

Not pissed at the non-challenge there.

At the time it was so little risk, verses big reward...seemed like a no brainer at the time

This x1000

Well, since Tomlin took his timeouts into the locker room, I can agree...why not challenge there?

Best case scenario we get the ball at the spot of the fumble (the TD would have been disallowed as the whistle for incomplete was blown).
