AFCCG: Steelers at Patriots Discussion (1 Viewer)

[Thunderlips]

Never understood the disdain some show for running for the pylon when 1 yard out. 

 

[Max Power]

Tomlin really is trash

 

[Blick]

Whoever is calling these plays for the Steelers should be fired.

Congrats on the first "Fire Haley" post of the night. 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

For sure, great.

Didn't really expect them to fail so spectacularly

 

[bostonfred]

Same guys who sais i cant believe you dont run it on first down with marshawn lynch. Sometimes i.give you armchair qbs too much credit

 

[lod001]

QB sneak not an option from the 1 inch line?

Not for really stupid play callers.

 

[Ghost Rider]

QB sneak not an option from the 1 inch line?

My guess is they outsmarted themselves by thinking they'd run it twice, to make NE burn their last two timeouts, thinking they'd at least have 3rd goal from the 1 or 2, but that disaster on 2nd down and then the 3rd down epic fail makes them look really foolish. 

 

[Steeler]

What will it take to change this script?

2nd half of this game will change everything!!!!

 

[Bad_Mo]

Big Sloth...he's a fat b$%#@^

 

[Thunderlips]

I'm doing the best I can right now.  

PITs shown they can keep up....they haven't shown anything to make one think they can pull ahead. 

 

[voiceofunreason]

Yeah, because they were gashing the patriots for 10 ypc and one of the toughest runners in the league

 

[HellToupee]

turnover please

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Uncreative calling. F### you Tomlin you rube.

i don't think tomlin calls the plays ...

 

[Ghost Rider]

NE makes tough catches; Pittsburgh does not.

If they can keep up, they can pull ahead

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Nobody knows what Tomlin does

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Pitt is done unless they figure out a way to get some pressure on Brady.  He's standing back there going from read to read for way too long, far too often.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Pitt should be thanking their lucky stars to be within 1 possession.

 

[Bad_Mo]

i don't think tomlin calls the plays ...

Too busy cheerleading and tripping opposing players.

 

[Thunderlips]

Weird first half that really only went in NE's favor on that goal line stop.  IF Pit had gotten 7 there.....they'd be in the conversation.  As it is, PIT doesn't seem to have the mojo. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

Big Sloth...he's a fat b$%#@^

Tell him there's some Rocky Road or a Baby Ruth in the endzone. 

 

[amnesiac]

just imagine if Gronk were playing.  

 

[meanjoegreen]

Uncreative calling. F### you Tomlin you rube.

i don't think tomlin calls the plays ...

Yeah, Todd Haley is on the team for a reason.

 

[Buffaloes]

i don't think tomlin calls the plays ...

he should probably take over playcalling on the d. amazing what pitt has come out with on d. it's pretty much a textbook Rex Ryan game

 

[fred_1_15301]

Pitt should be thanking their lucky stars to be within 1 possession.

Why?  They're moving the ball pretty well.  The Patriots Should be thanking their lucky stars that they avoided Bell.

 

[Plorfu]

As a Steeler fan, that could have been much worse. It could have also a little better. I'll be back later with more analysis.

 

[meanjoegreen]

just imagine if Gronk were playing.  

imagine if Bell was healthy.

 

[Steeler]

Steelers will score right after half time and convert the 2 point arrest to tie the game

 

[Cookiemonster]

i don't think tomlin calls the plays ...

Tomlin makes sure they stick 100% to the game plan, and don't deviate or adjust.  It's Haley's job to outthink himself.

 

[Thunderlips]

Pitt should be thanking their lucky stars to be within 1 possession.

Meh.  

No turnovers....PIT's O played well against NE. 

 

[voiceofunreason]

Pitt is done unless they figure out a way to get some pressure on Brady.  He's standing back there going from read to read for way too long, far too often.

That's Pitts biggest problem, they've whiffed on some high draft choices at OLB. I mean James Harrison is still being wheeled out there.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Enough of this silliness.  They started moving the ball better after Bell got hurt. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Nobody knows what Tomlin does

i think that he mostly focuses on staying off the field during play now.

 

[Plorfu]

Crap. What did Porter do this time?

 

[Buffaloes]

Steelers will score right after half time and convert the 2 point arrest to tie the game

keep drinking

 

[fred_1_15301]

So do you think Deangelo is better than Bell?  Yeah just shrug it off lol

 

[Bad_Mo]

imagine if Bell was healthy.

Would be the most patient half of the year.  Guy is sooooooo damn patient

 

[fred_1_15301]

Sorry but with Bell in they don't get stopped on first and goal from the 1.  

 

[HellToupee]

Enough of the Tomlin/Haley ##### fest. How about Keith Butler's D refusing to even put a body on Hogan

 

[Cookiemonster]

he should probably take over play calling on the d. amazing what pitt has come out with on d. it's pretty much a textbook Rex Ryan Steelers vs Patriots game

 

[Steeler]

keep drinking

Good idea.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

imagine if Bell was healthy.

Meh

 

[Bad_Mo]

Tell him there's some Rocky Road or a Baby Ruth in the endzone. 

maybe a nubile coed in a bathroom

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

keep drinking

Always good advice

Chachi pm'd me, your schtick is old.

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

I think that's on the players.  Golden was covering nobody so well in the middle of the field that Brady had to look elsewhere on the 2nd TD pass.

 

[fred_1_15301]

I love how people in here are just shrugging off the Bell injury.  During the Steelers 9 game win streak, he's absolutely been their best player.  I'll boldly say he's been the best player in football over that stretch.  But sour grapes and all.  I get it.

The standard is the standard.  Would love to have Bell at full strength, but they gotta role with who they have healthy.

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Meh

Not meh.  The guy is key.  No dog in this fight but Bell not playing changes this game.
