I'd have a better chance at kicking a FG than Vick had of getting that.Converting a 4th and short with Vick throwing the ball?How many 50 yarders have been made in that stadiums history?How many into the wind?I think they probably had about the same chance of making the FG as picking up the 1st down. Difference being if you make the FG the game is over whereas if you get the 1st down you still have to score.
WITH SCOBEE???????
No.....odds of hitting that FG were MUCH less than odds of converting a 4th and short

With a QB who couldn't make that throw in his prime let alone this late stage of his career.You know that was a terrible, specific pass call. Quick wide out to the sidelines where the QB has to fully rotate in less than a second?
No arguing with that part. My argument was with the guy saying Pitt should have kicked a FGYou know that was a terrible, specific pass call. Quick wide out to the sidelines where the QB has to fully rotate in less than a second?
Scobee is not Tucker, and he had JUST missed two straight kicks from closer than that.How many 50 yarders have been made in that stadiums history?How many into the wind?I think they probably had about the same chance of making the FG as picking up the 1st down.

Looked pretty good at 52 yards there.
But you're right, Michael Vick's pinpoint accuracy was probably a high percentage bet.
UnflappableJESUS what a kick!
Tucker is among the league's best.
I agree FG was wrong call. But THAT pass? Ouch.No arguing with that part. My argument was with the guy saying Pitt should have kicked a FGYou know that was a terrible, specific pass call. Quick wide out to the sidelines where the QB has to fully rotate in less than a second?
You know they expanded the stadium so it's not like old heinz fieldNo arguing with that part. My argument was with the guy saying Pitt should have kicked a FGYou know that was a terrible, specific pass call. Quick wide out to the sidelines where the QB has to fully rotate in less than a second?
He missed both combined by about an inch, and with PLENTY of distance.Scobee is not Tucker, and he had JUST missed two straight kicks from closer than that.How many 50 yarders have been made in that stadiums history?How many into the wind?I think they probably had about the same chance of making the FG as picking up the 1st down.

It's more than just kicker accuracy. Natural grass is harder to kick long off of, and into the wind off natural grass is a low percentage kick even for a good kicker. That's why I said the Steelers were foolish to receive on the coin toss..their offense had been sputtering the entire half and their kicker was poor. They would have been better off getting the breeze at their back and helping the lousy kicker.Scobee is not Tucker, and he had JUST missed two straight kicks from closer than that.How many 50 yarders have been made in that stadiums history?How many into the wind?I think they probably had about the same chance of making the FG as picking up the 1st down.

Fred....wait!!!I'm done until Ben returns. Can't watch 3 to 6 more weeks of this ####.
Agree; THAT pass play call was the worst call of the game IMO. A punt would have made more sense than that garbage.I agree FG was wrong call. But THAT pass? Ouch.No arguing with that part.

Scobee is at 62% from 50+ in his career. What do you think the probability was of them converting a 4th and 1 (assuming you can call any play you want)?He missed both combined by about an inch, and with PLENTY of distance.Scobee is not Tucker, and he had JUST missed two straight kicks from closer than that.How many 50 yarders have been made in that stadiums history?How many into the wind?I think they probably had about the same chance of making the FG as picking up the 1st down.

He's a long time kicker that had missed a couple. How many times do you see stories of guys missing big kicks in games and then redeeming themselves with an even longer one later? Scobee didn't just forget how to kick. He's made several 50+ yard game winners in his career and all he had to do was adjust by about a foot.
This. Couldn't agree more. Embarrassing. How does Haley not play to Vick's strength by throwing at least 3 or 4 deep balls? Just bad preparation and execution except for Bell who looks awesome.Embarrassing. They need to get a win too to help out this stretch. I wish they didn't always have to do pressers because I have no interest in hearing what Tomlin has to say. The offensive game planing was beyond atrocious. Scobee needs to be given a bus ticket home and Bell and the defense deserve an apology.
Oh, that's all? You should have told him that before the 4 kicks he's missed so far this year. He sucks. All kickers lose it eventually.He missed both combined by about an inch, and with PLENTY of distance.Scobee is not Tucker, and he had JUST missed two straight kicks from closer than that.How many 50 yarders have been made in that stadiums history?How many into the wind?I think they probably had about the same chance of making the FG as picking up the 1st down.

5. You can't forget the extra point he bricked in week 2.Oh, that's all? You should have told him that before the 4 kicks he's missed so far this year. He sucks.

Cheese grater, small hole side.Tomlin clearly had more confidence in Vick than in Scobee. What he didn't realize was that this was Sophie's Choice. It was like choosing what to scrub your balls with, a cheese grater or a belt sander.
Looked like they were trying to but Vick threw the pass to the peanut vendor in section 106 instead.I completely support Pittsburgh going for it both times. But their run game was dominating and they wanted to keep the clock going. How can you not put the game in the hands of your best player?
Because the Ravens were expecting it...duhI completely support Pittsburgh going for it both times. But their run game was dominating and they wanted to keep the clock going. How can you not put the game in the hands of your best player?
I hope he's getting his ### kicked in the locker room right now. THEN cut him.Scobee = Cut
Yes, we saw a lot of that in this game. Not many 2 yard passes on 3rd and 8.Bombs away next week Vick to Bryant. One thing Vick can do is throw rainbows deep.
