GDT: The Pittsburgher Thread - Steelers vs. some Jag offs

[KIRK]

 

[Shrimper]

The standard is the standard.

 

[PensandCaps]

Glad Haley ran a reverse on that 4th and 1.

 

[Coastal Kev]

They never once took a chance on D or changed their plan.

NEVER ONCE CHANGED

even with Jax tearing them apart.

3rd and 5, game on the line, soft zone.

HA HA

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I'd never think we'd lose a game in the playoffs scoring 42 and Ben throwing for 400+ yards. I still can't wrap my head around the first half horse shit calls and then the 4th down call and then the onside kick f*** up.

Jesus christ.

 

[KIRK]

Phil Simms cracks me up!

"Tomlin will have to answer for many of his decisions today"

Oh, Phil... don't you know who he works for? He doesn't have to give answers, just throw out some big words he just looked up on Word Power and the Rooneys will buy in.

Bill Cowher needed 3 years of not making the playoffs having only lost in a SB previously to get a warning. It will take 5 consecutive losing seasons after Ben retires for the Rooneys to even think about admonishing a Rooney Rule hire.

 

[JakeNBake59]

then there is this stat that Ben is the first QB to throw 5 TDs and lose a playoff game

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Tomlin should be fired for the beard spit alone

 

[td_ice]

Went out. What are they saying. BTW, for those wanting to blame Ben . . .

Ben Roethlisberger today: 37/58 C/ATT 469 passing yards 5 touchdowns 1 interception Passer rating 110.5

Decisions during the game, they said they would get into later, that "he has a lot to answer for", but they mentioned that during the week that Tomlin several times mentioned playing New England in a few weeks. "don't think Jacksonville didn't use that as motivation during the week."

Now they are getting into it, "the onside kick, bad decision", Went onto to explain why. Obviously time management.
Should have kicked the field goal first.
Absurd play calling on the 4th and 1.

Glad Haley ran a reverse on that 4th and 1.

Going for it there was probably the right call....but not taking the FG there ended up being huge.

 

[Shrimper]

Christ. Tomlin just said he is comfortable with what we called. For real?

 

[PensandCaps]

for all the mistakes they made on offense, they still scored enough points to win two games not one, this guy Keith Butler has to go, like in next 10 minutes,

I mean the offense gave the Jags 14 points.....

 

[KIRK]

No words for this one . . .

 

[PensandCaps]

Going for it there was probably the right call....but not taking the FG there ended up being huge.

Call a better play.

 

[KIRK]

Christ. Tomlin just said he is comfortable with what we called. For real?

I'd ask you to tell me you're joking.

I know better.

 

[td_ice]

Pretty telling when Rossi can even see it, haha.

 

[Dick Sledge]

No pressure at all today either.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

The thing is that Tomlin is always this stupid. It just gets glossed over because they get bailed out by talent.

I wish to hell people would start to see this...

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

As long as the current coaching staff is in place, I’m done with this team. It’s a gd shame.

 

[Ogrezilla]

He did basically give the Jags two TD's.

I don't care if he handed them 14 points on purpose. The offense won their part of the game 42 - 14 in that case. That HAS to be good enough to beat Blake f***ing Bortles.

 

[Dick Sledge]

Tomlin basically avoiding all questions.

 

[KIRK]

I wish to hell people would start to see this...

People always have. The ones who could do something about it, on the other hand . . .

 

[Honour Over Glory]

He knows it's over, and he knows there's no point to coming back.

Ben deserved better today, the booing was shitty to hear and see, but the guy threw 5 TD's and threw for 469 yards. He literally did all he could do to win this game, the defense shat the bed and the coaching staff dragged its ass on that shit leaving a giant streak all over this.

 

[MrBurghundy]

People can bitch about the offense all they want, but maybe you shouldn't give up 45 points and expect to win games.

 

[td_ice]

Boomer is praising Ben and his play today. Says he will be back. (obviously he doesn't know for sure, but very complimentary of Ben.)
