Harbaugh Schooled Again by Tomlin

[LakecrestSteeler]

Tomlin took a conservative game plan and shoved it up Harbaugh’s arse.

Lots of Harbaugh ball washers on this board.

Harbaugh threw a pass when they were running the ball like a hot knife through Bush!

Tomlin’s conservative game plan worked. The need for the conservative game plan should not be needed of course, and that is on Tomlin and Colbert, but in week 18 it was the right game plan!

The grass is not greener!

[Steelperch]

That punt on 4th and 1 was a weak call any way you slice it. Tomlin and Harbaugh are the Yin and Yang of shitty coaching decisions.

[El Kabong]

This makes the 4th time in a row Tomlin has beaten Harbaugh now.

And when Harbaugh punted in OT, knowing that a tie is as good as a loss, shouldn't he have gone for it?

[RemoAZ]

Sometime when I'm thinking, "damn we suck", I wonder how bad the fans of the team we just beat must feel. I'm sure Ravens fans just brush it off as it was their back up QB but just like last week, I think a run dominated game plan like Belichik had in that bad weather game a few weeks ago could have definitely handed our asses to us. Considering the Raven's offense is so run oriented, not sure why they wouldn't go in that direction. We're not the only team that has bad coaching performances, it just seems like there should have been more success with 18 years of a HoF QB at the helm.

We beat a team with their back-up QB.

Jibbs didn’t school anyone. Spent the day signing off on useless runs up the gut on 4th
and short.

Ben more than anything bailed Jibbs out with clutch drives to close it out.

Bump the brakes there guy.

Yin and Yang of shitty coaching decisions? Does that mean they both make shitty decisions just from opposite ends of the shitty decision spectrum?

Or are you saying Harbaugh is better than Tomlin?

We'll never get an answer from him but I bet Harbaugh would like to do it over again with Ben for his entire tenure and expect be a lot better.

I disagree. They needed to punt to pin the Rats deeper. If they go for it and fail, then the Rats are practically in FG position already. They more than likely would kick the game winner in regulation.

Have to agree on the punting today. The field position game saved our bacon and provided just enough buffer for our defense to keep Tucker on the bench today!

[SteelPro]

Yeah… If I were a Rats fan I wouldn’t be killing Harbaugh over punting in OT. What I’d be killing him for is passing in the red zone when you were running over the Steelers Defense. All they had to do was keep handing the ball off and the game was over. They had a 64 yard 7 play drive all on the ground and they literally threw it away.

That punt was the exact right call.

Kneeling to force OT was weak.

You want to kill him, kill him for running the ball in OT.

The first run was fine to mix it up a little.

Continuing to do it a couple more times, especially when they got forced into a decision for 4th and 6 and a 59 yard FG, was the height of stupidity.

Kneeling was a bit weak. I'm guessing Tomlin didn't want to risk injury or the "analytics" were so much against running a play it wasn't worth it. IDK

I have no problem with kneeling, 7 seconds left at the 30. I didn't like the punt on 4th and 1 though.

[Obviously]

I hate Harbaugh, but he didn't have Lamar Jackson today. Point taken though, and Tomlin is the better shitty head coach.

[Flanker]

It worked so they were good calls.

[robyotter]

no, because if his defense got it back the game was still in play. Tomlin had less time so he also made the correct decision. Now I thought his decision to punt instead of going for it in the 4th quarter was un-Harbaugh like.

[Texas Black & Gold]

It appears Tomlin/Ben own Harbaugh/Flaco/Lamar/Huntley.

Punting there was 100 percent the right call, don’t make it season over.

It would not have mattered. Our defense is in his kitchen cabinets. Has been since he started.

[Stosh-67]

They both have kept their teams in the playoffs or In contention for a long time.
Both have won SBs.

Yes Steelers lost JuJu, Tuit and Tyson...

Ravens were decimated.

Ravens were playing with out their difference making QB.
They lost the majority of their RBs this season.
We know what the Steelers look like when they have lost ONE single RB.

Still wouldn’t have mattered. Not when Jibba Lombardi Noll Jabba is over there smiffin on the other sideline.

Some people are trying so hard to not have to admit to themselves Jibbs is a boneheaded simpleton.

Soooo many teams’ seasons went sideways because of injuries and Covid.
Ravens as you pointed out Stosh, I would’ve thought hit the hardest but it’s the Saints that set an NFL record with 58….that’s 58….different starters used this year
Just an insane coaching job by Sean Payton

Really? The way Murray went off in the second half. You don't think that would have opened it up for Jackson? You think the Steelers defense was good enough to key on two guys today?

[Pabst]

Reminder that Baltimore held the #1 seed in the AFC heading into the Steelers matchup in Week 12.

They wound up finishing dead last in the AFC North

LaMarr has a monkey on his back about the Steelers at least when Ben plays. Don’t take my word for it look at his record.

It would not have mattered.

I think losing their QB had at least something to do with losing all those games these last few weeks.

Lakecrest is a Jibbs fanboy so he won’t agree but I think anyone else being objective would say so

To be fair, Harbaugh gave away a chance to win 2 of those games by going for 2 when down by 1 late.
