Sorry, I get Rocky Bleier and the Pringles guy mixed up.

Not sure if you're implying that I personally have blind HATE for Tomlin, but I assure you that isn't the case. I'm as objective as they come, chief. And after further review, it appears he was challenging the play because all he could hear the ref say was "down by contact, prior to the ball coming out."
So, like I surmised, he was hoping and praying the fumble call would be overturned, not executing some type of brilliant plan to get the clock stopped and intercept the ball six plays later.

Does Tomlin know the rule about forward progress? Maybe he does now, but ironically, the very same contention came up last year in the Colts game WHERE HE DID INDEED CHALLENGE FORWARD PROGRESS...but when he was asked about it after the game, he claimed he did it because he "just wanted discussion."
From Steelers Depot:
STEELERS NEWS Tomlin Explains Why He Challenged Unchallengeable Forward Progress Play
ByDave BryanPosted on November 13, 2017 at 2:50 pm 45 Comments
The Pittsburgh Steelers seemingly forced a turnover in the third quarter of their Sunday road win over the Indianapolis Colts thanks to linebacker Vince Williams ripping the football away from running back Frank Gore after he had caught a short pass over the middle on a 2nd and 9 play. However, after Williams pounced on the loose football, the referees claimed that the fumble did not count as Gore’s forward progress had been deemed stopped. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin then proceeded to throw his red challenge flag even though forward progress rulings can’t be reviewed.
During his Monday press conference, Tomlin was asked why he thew his challenge flag even though he probably knew that particular call on the field was not up for review.
“I know, I just wanted the discussion,” Tomlin said while laughing. “It’s a frustrating element. Sometimes judgement is not up for review. I understand that, but sometimes that judgement is cloudy. I wanted to know what was the indication that forward progress was stopped. Was it the whistle, and if it was, then the ball was out before the whistle and how is that reviewable? Is there audio on the review? It was an interesting discussion but it was a discussion I thought was worth having. I was frustrated because I thought we got the ball. But some rulings are judgement and are not subject to review and I understand that element of play as well.”
Huh? I guess you lapped up that bullshit, right? LOL.
You are correct in this instance, however; once Tomlin heard "down by contact, prior to the ball coming out," he decided to challenge, and shockingly, it wasn't some ingenious move.

Right there, and Mr Objective, that doesn't have Blind hate for Tomlin can not view this statement objectively??
He wanted a discussion (while laughing). He knew what he was doing man, and only blind hatred can stop and objective person from seeing the truth...
Review it again. The only guy somewhat unsure of the set was Edmunds, but he was still in position to cover Edelman.
And please, just give up on your ridiculous theory already.

Of course Tomlin couldn't just be covering his *** with smoke and mirrors, right? He says: "Was it the whistle, and if it was, then the ball was out before the whistle and how is that reviewable? Is there audio on the review?" THERE IS NO REVIEW TO START WITH ON A FORWARD PROGRESS PLAY...so this response is complete bullshit.
But I realize it's customary Nuthugger 101 to lap up everything that comes out of Tomlin's mouth as the gospel. Goes right along with inventing stories about how his intelligent use of a challenge flag created an interception six plays after he threw it.

I don't need to review ****. I have the snapshot in my article. You fail to see 7 people bunched, not lined up on players and still looking to VW for the play call, while the entire Pats team is lined up at the line of scrimmage. That's on your ability to process, not my failure to break down film. Look really closely at that red thing in the lower left. It's called a challenge flag...

It sounds stupid because it is stupid. Cowher didn't win a SB until ALL of Noll's players were gone. But even before that Cowher replaced almost the entire defense and offense in 3 years. Noll couldn't even win with Noll's players as well. So yes it is stupid.
Post #244 & #246 were my expressions lol
Hi Dianna, and welcome. Give your 4th string cousin my warmest regards.
And try to stay away from those bath salts.
