not really you stop the frame when the shoe hits the line and the ball position tells you the rest.
I’m an old timer, I like the human element in sports. I can live with a missed call...it’s just a game. But that’s just me...

The Detroit Tigers have drafted more Super Bowl winning QB's than the Detroit Lions.

But otherwise he probably would have given the ball back to KC with a good bit of time left. He coached like a guy trying to run out the clock before the real Garappolo showed up....can't fault him there.

Anyway, watching the SB I realized this team just isn't going to win another SB with Tomlin. The team is routinely too sloppy and sluggish, and our schemes are too stale an predictable. The only way it happens is if we luck into a run against teams with mediocre QB's.
Cue the "we almost beat KC and SF with 3rd string QB's". I know, I know....Tomlin's resume should have "Specializes in Almost" as its first bullet point. Tomlin is headed to the "Almost Good Enough for the Real HOF".

The worst part is watching both offenses work and thinking of the crap that the Steelers have rolled out for the last several years. Either we hire idiots or Ben does not want all of that or a little of both.

How do you figure that? SF had been moving the ball extremely effectively, and had gotten at least one first down on every drive of the game to that point.

You know who doesn't miss that pass, and in fact torched the opponent in a championship game repeatedly with it?
Joe Burrow.

It sure looked like that play which was ruled an incompletion (Jimmy G.) in the final 2 minutes of the 4th was a fumble rather than a tuck rule.
Appeared as though the ball was loosed and the impact of the hit forced the hand/arm forward. Being that the ball was not under complete control, would that not be a fumble? Clearly it would have killed the remaining drama and all, so it made sense not to stop play. But looked like a fumble.

Jimmy G is a very good QB who needed to be great for a couple of plays and he could not. It isn’t a damning blow, it’s just that he’s not good enough. He wasn’t do bad that his career is broken forever, but something in his game has to grow and he has to have the right matchup to win. Even with all that surrounding talent.

His efficiency says he can do the job. He could use more experience than only the 25+ starts he has right now though imo. It seems a bit early in his career for him to be joining the 49ers' Super Bowl champ quarterback club.bradshaw2ben wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2020 10:08 pmI thought so.Steel Bingo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2020 9:48 pmIt sure looked like that play which was ruled an incompletion (Jimmy G.) in the final 2 minutes of the 4th was a fumble rather than a tuck rule.

Silly as it sounds, that team looks too defensively heavy at the moment. Get some better passing mojo going along with everything else and there is big potential. The Bourne athlete (#84) playing receiver looked to have big game skill and talent. Like he was the real J. J. Stokes that never really happened in the 90s.

100% wrong. Reid is an offensive genius and has a QB that can do anything. We have neither. Reid finally figured out this year that fucking away quarters evaluating what the defense is doing is pointless. He also learned to keep the foot on the gas at the end of games instead of turtling.

The question becomes: Will Tomlin ever realize this^ or will he maintain his inept coaching approach and shit away a top tier, potentially elite defense?
