I mean...sure most of them fire across. But that sure looks to me like what D-Line does on a kneel-down or spike.
You have a funny definition of engaging. The entire o-line and d-line were literally just standing there.They were immediately engaging after the snap.
Seriously, they are literally just standing around.You have a funny definition of engaging. The entire o-line and d-line were literally just standing there.
I think engaging is the right definition. They engaged, and then stood there.You have a funny definition of engaging. The entire o-line and d-line were literally just standing there.
I finally saw a different replay thanks to a post in the Nations Tears thread.yeah, they did kinda stand around as the OL made no attempt to push them back. I have a feeling they were expecting a run, and once none came, they lost whatever plan they had. I have no doubt that at this very moment, Belichick is doing monday morning film review with the team, humiliating everyone who was in on that play except for Rowe.
No accountability in those quotes. In Foxboro, they wouldn’t even be talking about what happened on Sunday. Shows you the difference in organizations.
Right, but of course then the clock would have bled under 25 seconds.His hand motion is so weird... it starts as a timeout on the first touch than morphs into a "huddle" motion by the end. I think he did screw up. I think the Steelers might not have wanted a timeout, but good ole Ben already started signaling for it.
The refs obliged him.
Oh I agree. I think it goes to show how chaotic the end game was for them. They never had a plan for what happened. They weren't expecting 69 yard gain, were playing for field goal, and suddenly realized we can win, oh shit what do we do, timeout, no timeout, fuck I signaled timeout already.Right, but of course then the clock would have bled under 25 seconds.
Imagine a reversed situation where Ben DID want timeout, but the ref didn't think so, and the ref then just let the clock run. Imagine how pissed the Steelers would be? Just another example of how they botched the end of the game.
Someone post the Tedy Bruschi video again.
Tomlin: We all acknowledge we all need to revisit the catch rule. Tomlin a member of competition committee
Here we go again : a call benefits the Patriots so let's change the rule.
Yep, exactly. And similarly they weren't prepared after Bryant was talked in bounds the next play. Spike! Oh wait, we have time! Run a play! Fake spike! Only one WR runs a route, INT, ballgame. They panicked multiple times.Oh I agree. I think it goes to show how chaotic the end game was for them. They never had a plan for what happened.

They are still talking about a game from 2 days ago.
That's great coaching right there. "We'll let Ben do what he wants and go from there." Way to take accountability for what happened. What a bunch of clowns.
It gets worse my friend.LOL. They are making it worse. STOP TALKING.
He was looking for permission. He's been told that consent is very important.Why did Ben spin around toward the other sideline and also signal timeout then? LOL
Heyoooooooooo!He was looking for permission. He's been told that consent is very important.
That is a great point. The only other reason to do the 360 is if he's calling for a huddle. But that doesn't sqaure with what Tomlin said. Brings us back to: StopTalking.Ben did a complete 360 signaling timeout. Sure looked to me he was looking for an official, not Tomlin.
I feel like I hear this same kind of response from Tomlin and the Steelers every time they lose to the Patriots. What's defined is that they can't beat the Patriots.Aditi KinkhabwalaVerified account @AKinkhabwala 29m29 minutes ago
Mike Tomlin: "Its not about WHAT transpired. It's about: How do we move on? How do we learn from it?" "How we respond to this loss will define us."
So let's keep talking about it!!!
It's what I said above...That is a great point. The only other reason to do the 360 is if he's calling for a huddle. But that doesn't sqaure with what Tomlin said. Brings us back to: StopTalking.
Is this the Steelers thread or the "Amirite?!" thread?He was looking for permission. He's been told that consent is very important.
Maybe if we stop the forum equivalent of gronking the football, some of them might decide it'd be worth their time to speak up.I wonder how diehard Steeler fans feel about this? I saw plenty of rational fans crucify the DC for leaving Sean Davis 1-on-1 with Gronk at the end.
Tomlin will never outcoach BB in a game. Ever. Nor ever win at Foxboro. They have a lot of elite talent so they could win someday (have to go to them next year in regular season as well) but it won't be because of coaching.
It would have been fourth down. But they probably would have kicked the FG? Tomlin is a moron.
I bet they're fine with it. The "on to.." mantra is what the Patriots do and we all know how much they hate the team, and especially Bill. No way they see those comments as a flaw in TomlinI wonder how diehard Steeler fans feel about this? I saw plenty of rational fans crucify the DC for leaving Sean Davis 1-on-1 with Gronk at the end.

Each moment is so specific, so unique, he couldn't have said ahead of time.It would have been fourth down. But they probably would have kicked the FG? Tomlin is a moron.

I can tell you #Steelers' defensive calls called for extra help on Rob Gronkowski on BOTH those long completions and the 2pt conversion at the end. Help failed all 3X. Mike Tomlin says: "It's a reality that errors happen in football... we don't make excuses."
Ahem.
This is the Steelers thread and it's a story. What's the issue?Let's stop piling it on, folks. There are other threads more suitable for it.
I agree.This is the Steelers thread and it's a story. What's the issue?
He had to hedge a bit there since his post-game comment on Sunday was, “We play and play to win. That's what we do."It would have been fourth down. But they probably would have kicked the FG? Tomlin is a moron.
