Tomlin strategy vs Bengals

[Jizz Mop]

No doubt our resident defensive genius will be looking to limit Chase after he had only 16 receptions on 20 targets last time around

Hey Asante, can you cover Chase with little to no playbook and practice time? - Mike Tomlin via text tonight

Seems like the Bengals and Flacco succeeded in getting the ball out quick to neutralize our pass rush. To counter this we had our defensive backs giving up huge cushions to allow for easy completions. SMH

Let’s hope we can keep Flacco under 450 yards and our offense is able to get those 1st down thingys. Might want to try and do better on 3rd down conversions….

God I hate this fucking team

JK, Go Steelers Go

CIN will have a Plan B. Will Tomlin? Or is it to much to ask to anticipate what CIN might try to do if you take away Chase?

Way too much to ask

I hope they push our shit in again. This time at home.

Fuck Jibbs.

Fuck his overrated “historic” defense.

The harder we get blown off the field the more I enjoy the game these days.

This team isn’t capable of making a playoff run. No way no how.

Screw that holding out hope for one extra pathetic game in what is yet another lost season.

Oh goodie. I got to watch my team suck 1 extra time.

Yipppeee!!!!

[sacra font] No worries Austin has it All figured out. He replaced Jogging Juan with Killer Castro. Spinal Fuse Samuel can be called up to replace the concussed Slower than Snot Slay. Living on a Prayer Pierre can Tee-off on Tee. If he wasn't injured Triage Trice could Chase Chase in man coverage. Finally rest assured in Tomlin's Time management being a big bonus. [/sacra font]

This is an interesting topic. I said after the last and maybe even during the game thread, and others did as well, to bracket Chase at the LOS with an all game double team. I’d take the punt return guys that get put on the gunners and spot them each 30 yards in penalties over about 6 series and let them go to town trying to get him on the ground in the first 5 yards.

Nothing will happen. We have seen this movie before with Brady and Gronk, and various other marquee QB/wr matchups.

I’m confident Tomlin/Austin and Co will struggle again to contain Cincy

I’m still processing the idea that Flacco put up over 400 yards and 40 some points against the Bears this past weekend and still lost.

As a team, Pittsburgh seems worse off than when the lost to Cincinnati the first time. I don’t know what Tomlin is going to do but there aren’t many options. The way the offenes ran this weekend there’s no chance if them winning a shootout either.

This team is in the midst of the components of giving up.

If Joe shows up and goes all Elite, it could be the final nail in the season's coffin, if you will.

Must-see TV.

[Steeldrama]

Had ESPN all night on my ride into work today.

Some fella said the Steelers the most unwatchable team in the NFL (duh)

Rodgers the only reason I'll watch going forward.

He's clearly not comfortable playing behind a once again very shaky offensive line.

I'm still holding out hope Rodgers loses his shit on Broderick, Uncle Artie, and HOPEFULLY Tomlin.

The look of disgust is there, now some harsh, pointed, criticisms needs to follow.

This is a game they win.
Tomlin has the wolves at his door and NHALS is in jeopardy. So he tends to put more effort in on these weeks. Plus he doesn't want Flacco to embarrass him again.

I think the Steelers win this one easy. Note that I hope for a loss, but this is something I believe will come to fruition.

Yep...Only thing I'm watching for is ARod at this point. I'm rooting for him and rooting for the inevitable meltdown.

It's going to be so much fun to watch. I can't wait for him to come off the field after a failed possession and lay into Tomlin.

Fingers crossed for another loss this weekend.

[Gonzo]

i fully expect, based on history, that the strategy will be to regain TOP advantage at all costs.
Expect a slow game --
unless Bengals can sabotage that with a very fast start

[.Kodiak]

Tomlin will never prepare for a shootout. He's "not comfortable in those situations". That means when faced with a potential shootout, Tomlin will instead do everything he can to slow the game down and keep it lower scoring.

For a CIN team that has no choice BUT to try to make it a shootout, they'll try to jump on our "easing in" approach from the start.

I agree PIT probably wins this. But unless Flacco has a bad game they will need 30+. I'm not sure we can achieve 40min TOP even against CIN defense, given our inconsistent running game and 3rd down struggles.

Yep the fix for the defense is keeping them off the field.

If Tomlin had really believed they had a "historic" defense, then the offense they paired with that should have been high-octane aggressive. But I think Tomlin's idea of a historic defense is winning every game 13-10.

[langer]

Why did Coach T even say that stupid shit?

Was it strategery to light a fire under the D's ass, make them believe they could do anything...

Or diid he actually believe that. Historical in what sense? Who would he compare it to, the 76 Steelers? 85 Bears? Purple People Eaters? nY Sack Exchange? Most of Belechick's defenses?

Dude is nuts. Maybe this was another bullshit quote he schemed up with his ridiculous wife to put on shirts to sell to mouthbreathing morons.

This is what Jizz was really asking.

Tomlin will probably come up with some unsustainable borderline against the spirit of NFL football for one win and to maintain NHALS, definitely not for the pursuit of a chip.

Tomlin with no chance to win will be essentially a boring Animal House in front of the fraternal council yelling “POINT OF PROCEDURE” to slow the game down. He might bring Matt Canada back for this game!

They may win, but I don’t believe Tomlin ever puts more effort in to any week. I don’t think he knows how to. The two big games they won this season (NE and IND), they lose without the massive turnover margin.

Tomlin just does the same thing over and over. He’s very comfortable in his space and he doesn’t worry about his job. He’s arrogant and stupid. He’s a real life example of Dunning-Krueger.

Tomlin is living the Seinfeld “Even Steven” episode. No matter what, somehow he gets his NHALS. He believes no matter what, he will get that win he needs.

I don’t think they win a shootout. The Tomlin Steelers are not and have never been wired for that kind of game.

Remember Big Ben hitting Wallace in the EZ as time expired?

There was a time we could win these games.

Ben hid sooooooo many of Jibba’s flaws

Back when we had an NFL offense…..sort of remember yes

One of the few times Tomlin made a great strategic decision. Little time left, but couldn't stop GB. So they tried an onside kick. The short field gave them time for Ben's legendary play, otherwise they never get the ball back.

[swissvale72]

I'm expecting Tomlin to do all he can to shorten the game....get running game going, wind the play clock, etc. No way does he want a shootout with the Bengals.

Remember when that is exactly what they did in the second Cincy game last winter?

IIRC in that game Arthur Smith called run plays on every single first and second down until the Steelers needed to try and mount a final scoring drive.

[955876]

Strategy???

- Bend over

- Get shit pushed in

- Bite pillow

- Blame the butt fucking on poor execution that would have avoided the anal ass fuck.

I reality we likely win this week.



Those here that still belive in fool’s gold will think we still have a shot.

This team isn’t capable of winning deep into the playoffs under this regime.

That is so funny whenever did Tomlin have a plan b

Tis game has the potential to be the most NFL blooperiest game of all time.
