40 yards of field position is very important too, especially when they'd have no timeouts left.You onside. The only way Pitt gets the ball back is by stopping Jacksonville from getting another 1st down. You still get that chance if you miss the onside. But - if you onside, you also get the chance to recover the ball.
From 1933-1968 they had 13 head coaches (16 if you multiple-count those who left and then returned in a separate stint). Since then they've had 3. Crazy.For a team with 3 head coaches since the Johnson administration, probably not.
They'll be the first to tell you their awesomeness tooThat stadium is 33% empty. What awesome fans these Yinzers are. One score game, yet they left in the 3rd quarter.
Right through that Steel Curtain...That stadium is 33% empty. What awesome fans these Yinzers are. One score game, yet they left in the 3rd quarter.
More than a little bit of the Merriman-LDT era Chargers in this bunch.Steelers are scary because of Ben, Bell and Brown. But they are one dumbass team.
Except for the chance of a field goal.You onside. The only way Pitt gets the ball back is by stopping Jacksonville from getting another 1st down. You still get that chance if you miss the onside. But - if you onside, you also get the chance to recover the ball.
I assume you missed the one the Patriots tried vs Miami?That was about the worst onside kick ever. I’ll take it!
Why did they not call a TO before the 2 min?
Mike Tomlin is a dimwit.
I just thought the same thing. Doesn't that cost them like 10 seconds somewhere, assuming Jags run on all three downs?Not calling a TO before the 2:00 is bad coaching.
Right? Last night they had the Gostkowski line and it was from when he kicked it in Mexico City, as if that is comfortably in his range.Funny how they talk about a kickers best effort but never take into account where it was kicked. In a dome? Down in Florida?
But in both cases your opponent is punting. You want them pinned so you get better starting position. The likelihood of recovering the onside has to be outweighed by the amount of clock remaining and the chance that you just give a good FG kicker a chance to end it.You onside. The only way Pitt gets the ball back is by stopping Jacksonville from getting another 1st down. You still get that chance if you miss the onside.

Chuck Noll was god. He changed everything.From 1933-1968 they had 13 head coaches (16 if you multiple-count those who left and then returned in a separate stint). Since then they've had 3. Crazy.
Calling a TO around 2:05 gives the other team a free passing play if they want it. So sometimes its better to wait for the 2 minute warning.Mike Tomlin is a dimwit.
Jags tackled McD in bounds, but officials said he got out. Saved 18 seconds?Better tackling there would have made PIT score on the other side of the 2-minute mark.
Now the Jags are definitely going to run the ball. With the two minute warning coming up, they could have thrown the ball with no clock consequences.Why did they not call a TO before the 2 min?
They all have important shit to do today.That stadium is 33% empty. What awesome fans these Yinzers are. One score game, yet they left in the 3rd quarter.
You're forgetting the blocked FG that gets run back for the game tying TD.First down wins it. Field goal wins it. So, the Jags will get neither.
Maybe but if you call it before the two minute warning then JAX can run or pass, either way clock stops moving at end of play. If you let it run down, then they are almost certain to run on the next two plays.Not calling a TO before the 2:00 is bad coaching.
