Jacksonville at Pittsburgh (1 Viewer)

[The General]

Tomlin isn't very good at the strategy parts.

Explain this to me.  Whistle blew at 2:12.  ####.  They may have been able to use the two min warning for the 3rd down play had they used timeouts in front of the warning.

If you call it at 2:12, then you commit to using the other right after.  If 3rd down is at like 2:06, you give the Jags a chance to pass (since the clock will stop at 2:00 anyway). By taking them after, you make the Jags run it to ensure the Steelers use their TOs to get clock stoppages. 

FG was made, so it is probably all for nothing anyway. 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

kicking the FG was obviously the smart play

 

[irish eyes]

Tomlin is a moron, that is all

 

[shadyridr]

Onside kick was horrible

 

[JohnnyU]

Turn out the lights and drive safely going home.

 

[SayWhat?]

I saw more like 7 or 8 seconds left....I would wait until after the warning as well.

It was 2:12.  Positive.  Even if it were 2:08, why wait?  You lost 8 seconds.  

 

[JoeSteeler]

Did Holba snap that?

 

[Bfrahm3]

Perfect call on the onside kick, it was just a terrible kick. Either way they had to stop them in 3 downs, so you have your team a chance to get the ball back right away. if the kick actually goes 10 yards and jags still recover it then they wouldn't have been in FG range if they would have stopped them on downs

 

[modogg]

Down 14 with under 3:00...that surprises you?

yeah, what other fanbase leaves a playoff game in the 2nd round early? when Ben has thrown a few bombs like he has for TDs, that is just crappy fanbase

 

[renesauz]

timeout before the warning: you save 10 seconds max.

timeout after the warning, you save 30 seconds max.

No clue why anyone would choose the first option on 1st or 2nd down...on THIRD down it's a different story

Why!?!?

You need every single nano second right there.  

 

[Bossman]

Here's hoping we get Fouts for the Jagwires game next week.

 

[shadyridr]

Man id go for this

The fg I meant

Bad Idea Jeans.

[tjnc09]

Haley would have called a pitch to the RB there on 4th and 1

 

[Tool]

Bortles kinda looks like Charlie from ‘it’s always sunny in Philadelphia’

 

[JaxBill]

Calais

Good for him

 

[Mr.Pack]

He was going for the ball, not PI, correct call on the field.

Well, it doesn't really matter if he was going for the ball, you can't steamroll someone to get there. I thought PI should have been called.

 

[lod001]

How good is Jax kicker?

if San Diego would have kept him this year, they would have been in the playoffs.

 

[The Claymaker]

Kickers should not be allowed to celebrate. 

 

[McJose]

CBS Movie of the Week.

An NFL kicker and decorated vet returns to Vietnam to rescue American POWs.

Romo/Nantz for sure

 

[Man In The Box]

Congrats J’ville. Didn’t see this coming in a thousand nods. Sports...

They had 2 time outs plus the warning....

 

[The General]

A nation roots for Jacksonville next week.

 

[SengerCJ]

Tomlin really should’ve made a better kick on that onside attempt, I mean come on guy

 

[renesauz]

It was 2:12.  Positive.  Even if it were 2:08, why wait?  You lost 8 seconds.  

see my other post. saving it until after the break you potentially save 38 seconds instead of 8 (or 12) plus, as someone else mentioned, you force Jax to run instead of throw

 

[irish eyes]

They will score here and Tomlin will kick off LOL. Its a shame this window is closing because we had NO defense to get us to the Superbowl

 

[Insein]

Blake Bortles in the AFC championship

Who said that in August?

 

[Man In The Box]

A nation roots for Jacksonville next week.

Yep. One down, one to go. 

 

[Arodin]

4th down is Jax achilles heel this week...

 

[HellToupee]

Calais

Good for him

I wouldn't leave at that point but I know fans do. Not sure about other fan bases, you have a study you can link?

 

[NutterButter]

They had 2 time outs plus the warning....

Yup.  I don't think this is complicated.

You're assuming they only had one timeout.  They had 2.  

TO at 2:12.  Jags run.  TO at 2:05, or let click run to 2min so they have to run on 3rd down.  TO at 1:56.

Or what they did...let 12 seconds run down to 2min warning on 1st.  TO at 1:56.  TO at 1:50.  

 

[humpback]

If you call it at 2:12, then you commit to using the other right after.  If 3rd down is at like 2:06, you give the Jags a chance to pass (since the clock will stop at 2:00 anyway). By taking them after, you make the Jags run it to ensure the Steelers use their TOs to get clock stoppages. 

FG was made, so it is probably all for nothing anyway. 

I agree that you don't call a TO with less than 6-7 seconds to go before the warning, but calling one at 2:12 does not commit to using the other right after.

 

[The Football Freak]

Holy ####, the Jags did it...

DUUVVVAAALLLLLL!!!!

 

[The General]

Ben is in the comfort zone.

 

[dickey moe]

I knew Vance McDonald would eventually come through for me this season.

 

[lod001]

Good job with that onside kick call.

 

[McJose]

Not....so....fast...

 

[JoeSteeler]

That FG would look good about now

 

[AAABatteries]

Jax saw the Pitt kicker’s onside kick - they know it’s over.

 

[Bossman]

you're posting in the wrong forum

 

[SengerCJ]

Big Ben has not looked like he has enjoyed playing this season at all. I really don’t see him coming back next year. 

 

[dickey moe]

Stupid

 

[HellToupee]

love the flag there ,PIs ignored all game but

throw it here

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Jax saw the Pitt kicker’s onside kick - they know it’s over.

They'll let Ben kick the next one
