Think they just resting him for a few series. When came off looked fine.

Maybe they're getting him used to sitting a few times a game for when Bell comes back? ? Kidding.

 

[The Frankman]

lol he's tugging his sleeve and pushing him away... that's a good no-call?

WHAT? I know that' s AB but wow.

 

[C-Bound]

Why not both?

Kamara

 

[-X-]

Looked like equal opportunity hand fighting to me.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

What is with letting pass rushers fun free to the QB? 

Yeesh. 

 

[Bossman]

Just the spot on that 1st down that had to be challenged.

... other than that, just poor across the league overall.

Would be so refreshing to have commentators that just rip on dumb coaching, dumb plays, and bad ref calls.

Maybe get those puppet guys from that old show Mystery Science Theater 3000

 

[modogg]

Can they PLEASE show the replay? Jackson is absolutely furious there wasn't a pushoff call... and the truck guys show no replay?

that replay out of the 2 minute warning was good. funny thing was hearing d-bag Pereira how no penalty cause it wasn't a push. was a great move by Brown to pull up on the jersey, then jerk down and cause DB to fall

He might have been slightly tugging his sleeve but didn’t see the push off

 

[BoltNlava]

Kamara

Ah. 8 man leauge?

 

[fred_1_15301]

But yes AB does push off a lot.

Ok, lol

New episodes on netflix btws

 

[modogg]

really should go for this or fake

 

[C-Bound]

10. Kamara was keeper, drafted CMC in the first.  

 

[Steeler]

I like Samuels but he goes down too easily - like that first down play.

 

[BoltNlava]

was kidding..but damn.

 

[fred_1_15301]

What the #### kind of clock management is this?  Here is a thought Ben.  Try to score some points.

 

[Bossman]

C'mon guys ... they almost never call OPI.

Really needs to be blatant for them to call it. 

This was barely anything and I'm surprised commentators even made any fuss about it.

 

[The Frankman]

Nice facemask.

 

[irish eyes]

Still little concerning conner not on the field 

 

[modogg]

Ok, lol

i don't have a dog in this fight (if i do it is for that quick Pitt TD for fantasy), but that is pretty much what AB did. was definitely a sweet play by him, but no doubt he caused the DB to slip and fall 

 

[fred_1_15301]

There was enough time there to score if the Steelers showed some urgency.  I guess they didn’t want to risk a turnover and giving Carolina some momentum.  I still think they should have been more aggressive there

 

[SengerCJ]

Still little concerning conner not on the field 

I would be relieved that a star running back isn’t being superfluously used at the midway point of a game that the teams likely going to win. 

 

[JaxBill]

Andy Reid think Steelers end of half clock management was ... puzzling

 

[fred_1_15301]

Agreed.  The only concerning part is that Tomlin is notorious for keeping his stars in the game even during blowouts 

 

[-X-]

Did Bell show up at the gate saying he’d sign if they put Conner on the bench?

Searching Twitter...  No info.

 

[fred_1_15301]

I don’t think the Steelers coaching staff or Ben have a clue how to manage the clock. I’ve been watching this team for years and that’s evident.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!!!

WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS??? - one mention from announcers ...zip on the twitter machine.  

 

[FGITLOTR]

Agreed.  The only concerning part is that Tomlin is notorious for keeping his stars in the game even during blowouts 

IMO, could this portend that they don’t expect Bell back and want to preserve Connor. He looks completely healthy, so I’m not worried. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Hope so as I played him over CMC.

Why not start both? 

 

[Steeler]

IMO, could this portend that they don’t expect Bell back and want to preserve Connor. He looks completely healthy, so I’m not worried. 

This is what I think too.  No need to give Conner 30 touches on a short week, especially when the Steelers are winning comfortably at this point in the game.

 

[BoltNlava]

lol

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I am.  I am up against Cam and CMC.

Head scratching to say the least

Not Tomlin's MO though is it?

 

[JaxBill]

It's one thing to try to score and fail. But nobody looked like they knew whether they wanted to try to score or head to half.

 

[Bossman]

They’re just not Buck and Aikmen. I’m not a big fan of them.

theyre perfectly competent and they haven’t said anything stupid, plus listening to UK accents is always fun.

Mic: "... that cheeky mid-fielder really gave Cameron Newton a bloody good shagging on that play didn't he Niles?"

Niles: " Indeed Mic. ... but I believe that position is known as the outdoors linebacker mate. Those blocking blokes look knackered to me."

 

[Twenty-Four Eighty-Four]

Typically hasn't been. Curious as to what made him do this now.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Yup this is a common occurrence with Ben and Tomlin.  Hell it was a common occurrence when Cowher was coaching as well.  I feel like most coaches aren't very good at that aspect of the game.  Every team should have a specialist that takes over during the last 2 minutes of both halves.  

 

[Steeler]

Not Tomlin's MO though is it?

That's true - maybe he's learning  

 

[Bossman]

Steelers gonna score 60 tonight.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

lol

I missed your post. lol 

 

[BoltNlava]

Heyward-Bey?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Connor tripped over his own OL or that’s a TD

 

[fred_1_15301]

I wish these announcers would stop bringing up Bell.  No need to compare Conner against Bell.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Heyward-Bey?

I honestly did not know he was still playing. 

 

[Bossman]

What do CAR coaches say to the team that gave up 31 points at half time?

.... apparently not much as they continue their underwhelming performance.

 

[irish eyes]

I wish these announcers would stop bringing up Bell.  No need to compare Conner against Bell.

Really, he isn't even on the team.

 

[BoltNlava]

I honestly did not know he was still playing. 

Same here.

 

[Steeler]

Yeah, it's just further hurting Bells value for next season
