Agreed...but that other team has a special player under center,,,For a very short period of time, then shyte the bed before returning to marginally ok

this.When a professional drops a ball like that even a DB. You cannot blame coaching. They filmed it. Got their look. Everything perfect. He dropped. Yiu might not like Sutton on the outside but it's him or maybe Trice if Jackson is out. Pierre is terrible. Was PI on last Washington drive. He's brutal.
Its Trice Time!this.
42 tried to lose the game for Steelers today.
What about Warren?this.

Is Pierre known to have sticky hands or is he known to be a marginal player at best?I wouldn't have called it under the circumstances, but it was a check. They prepped for it and apparently had free ability to check to it. It was great preparation and the play was right there for a big first down. Sometimes the players just need to execute.
the NFL official commentating opined that the play should have been whistled for forward progress, but it wasn't. Warren was all effort and got held up by several Commandos before the ball came out a split second before he was down. in hindsight, yeah, both arms around the ball. But he was making an effort play with the ball.What about Warren?
Difference is you have an ex- head coach that is allowed to be the OC without too much interference. Mike should camp out with the secondary and DC for they seem to be the middling of the team. Like refusing to double difference makers .I have been hugely critical of Tomlin for years, and am still pissed to see Najee continually run into the 8/9 man fronts on first down. I am still worried about winning only 2/3 more games this season then getting another embarrassing PO shellacking. (Tomlinship)
But this call today, even with the headscratching drop by Pierre, was very different than any other Tomlin call in many years. The bombs downfield (wtf were the long ones to Austin and Jefferson for with Pickens and Williams available?) , the move away from Jet sweeps and bubble screens where WRs dint block is welcome.
I'd much rather the Steelers win, but if they are gonna lose, I'd rather go down knowing they tried unconventional methods to win. Losing doing all the same **** like the past 3 seasons truly sucks.
Pierre broke up the second to last play to end the game...the NFL official commentating opined that the play should have been whistled for forward progress, but it wasn't.

Pierre was the opposite. He dropped the ST play (why is he on the team?), missed a couple tackles and on the one play he was involved in that was "good" for the Steelers, the refs missed calling him for PI as Sask pointed out above.
No comparison in my book.

Well I was just fun'n around about Warren anyways. Dude does look healthy. Running hard. A good thing.the NFL official commentating opined that the play should have been whistled for forward progress, but it wasn't.

Totally agree, should have been skownorek (sp?) catching that passIs Pierre known to have sticky hands or is he known to be a marginal player at best?
That goes in line with putting your players in the best position to succeed.
He isn’t who I would have pimped for that play.
I’ll gladly take a conversion on 4th and long against either of those teams.Let's try that **** with Buffalo and KC. **** around and find out.
But got away with PI.Pierre broke up the second to last play to end the game...
That play is not a question of fear or no fear. It was a question of necessity. There was no reason to call it..none. It was not smart at all.For years the majority of this board has bitched about the Tomlin "speak" especially the "we don't live in our fears." I was one of them. well guess what today he actually didn't live in his fears. That play could have also payed off big if the ball would have been caught.
This is the kind of plays that keep teams guessing and win ball games. It was exciting today and gave me hope that we can win the close games at the end. I would't have cared if he went for it on the last 4th down even if we wouldn't have made it and lost I personally would have still been OK with it.
I love the play calling today, and hope he keeps his foot on the gas... Way to go Coach T.
