GDT: GDT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Steelers exit the playoffs in the most Steelers like way

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Why do i see the ravens going all the way to the super bowl.

Steelers really blew it this year. We should be talking about a bye right now.

Dobbs in against the Raiders UNTIL we lost the lead says it all. Fireable offense right there. Tomlin still hasn't learned and never will. Hes not smart enough

 

[TNT87]

Yep.......

Keith Butler, Joey Porter and Danny Smith should get the pink slip

I sure as heck hope so.

I made a Shrimp Scampi in under 15 minutes after the game.

I stuck up for Tomlin earlier this season. No more. He needs to be fired and they need a serious rebuild. This is absolutely unacceptable.

This exactly. A team with all this talent but nothing between the ears

Steelers Should Worry About Craig Wrolstad Crew Officiating Road Game Against Saints - Steelers Depot

Basically the NFL sent the most easily manipulated refs to the biggest game of the week.

Penalties....

NO - 9
Pit - 6

Next.....

Next year is our last shot. Draft higher. Use the Bell money on secondary help.

Yeah that proves everything with great context and analysis

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

I will sadly stand by the fake punt. I know it's hard to stand by anything Tomlin does because he is so dumb, but he gambled on the idea that Brees has 4 minutes. Brees with 4 minutes will leave you with nothing. So he did control that situation quite well and the gamble had reason to it. If you want to be a riverboat gambler, it's good to have that analysis to your reason. So I will stand by that. I think that was a good time to gamble.

It literally left 1:20 on the board for us and we were marching down. If we dont' fumble, we have a few cracks at winning OR at least tying the game.

But the other issues:
- 3rd and 1 going with a RT dive with a fumble prone RB. Bad.
- Not challenging those possible catch/fumbles. Bad.
- Using a time out in the 2nd half when we should have saved 'em. Bad.

I’m not mad about the fake punt.

Saints would have driven the field and scored no matter where they were spotted the ball.

At least with a short field it worked out that there was plenty of time left on the clock to drive down the field after they scored the go ahead TD.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Tomlin is gone if they miss the playoffs.

Stupid idea and NOT gonna happen.

Yes because the number of penalties means everything.

 

[domaug]

Stupid idea and NOT gonna happen.

why is it stupid? please explain.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Next year is our last shot. Draft higher. Use the Bell money on secondary help.

Yeah last shot for Ben. Unless we fire Tomlin. Dont know what was up with that tweet but hoping Rooney knows Ben only has a few years left. He simply wont win it with Tomlin here. Wont happen. Ben isnt smart enough to overcome a horrible coach. Hoping Rooney sees this and makes the move.

 

[Beauner]

It's truly remarkable the amount of justifiable blame to go around. Boswell, Tomlin, the defense, various fumblers... it's like every player and coach has done some batshit crazy garbage at some point

Did you see the PI that was called, leading to NO’s first touchdown?

Over 40 years watching and playing football and that was easily one of the weakest PI’s I’ve ever seen called.

Just brutal.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Stupid idea and NOT gonna happen.

Lol wtf is this guy?

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

... that all will be forgiven as usual and sleep well.

Do you really believe those numbers tell the story? My gosh........ you should work for ESPN

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

... that all will be forgiven as usual and sleep well.

Idk this time. 7-2-1? Having it wrapped up..only to lose 3 out of last 4? And the way it happened too. This Rooney is diff from the others. I can see why Tomlin wasnt fired before(even tho he should have been) so Rooney exhausted just about every other route....but whats left? Tomlin could def be gone if we miss . We watched Pederson win it all last year. McVay is great. While we continue to find diff ways to lose.

And its all over the media. We are a joke to them...them talking about how undisciplined..finding creative ways to lose each week. That falls on Tomlin. Only way Rooney can stop this talk is by firing him.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I’m saying this out of frustration but it would be classic to have Browns beat the Ravens but Steelers lose to Cincy.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

The Steelers are to blame, but the Refs have an agenda. Which makes the sport somewhat faux.

Refs blow in every sport I love, that’s why you don’t f*** up easy wins and leave your season in their hands.

Let’s not let Tomlin off the hook with any ref talk. And honestly, they had plenty of chances to seal this win despite the refs. So this game lined up as a perfect example of their identity under Tomlin for the last decade.

 

[Dick Sledge]

Why does the nightly sports call have a camera from the 1950's

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

28-24 in the 4th @ Saints. Nobody thought we had a chance but once again we had the lead. This team has the talent to beat anyone. One factor every time....coaching.

Should have 2 more Superbowls by now. I cant see how Rooney doesnt fire Tomlin.

He has to make the change
