Steelers vs Stains - Game Thread

[SteelBuckeye]

I don't even think Mike Tomlin can **** this one up

Such positive thinking from you will not be tolerated

 

[TAS]

Why aren't we running out the clock

 

[scraps]

Another PI - we'll take it.

Damn saints got mutilated by the skins

 

[Troglodyte]

WTF? Have we not had enough injuries? Run out the clock!

 

[Yinzerlyn]

Holy hell GB is losing to DET...

 

[Troglodyte]

Why aren't we running out the clock

Because Tomlin thinks whatever happens, happens, his decisions don't matter.

 

[SteelersHarley0120]

Awesome game woohoo brownies must have broken record for penalty yards

 

[TAS]

6-4 I'll take it

 

[bermudasteel]

Steelers win!

Or ... maybe they did decide to run out the clock ... just not on the schedule you would have wanted. THREE straight kneel downs to end the game ... seems suspiciously like running out the clock

Needed that win today! Great game!

 

[SteelersHarley0120]

Good way to go into bye week and jags beat the rat **** yea

 

[Yinzerlyn]

Yay!! It's a shame our backup QB did such a ****** job today.

Nice win. Glad Ben came out of the game unscathed. Had a huge game too. Hope Jones is Ok to return to his back up role in two weeks. Lots to build on for our push for the playoffs.

Sometimes I wonder if you guys even stop to think before you post. Tomlin does not call ANY of the offensive plays. That's the OC coordinator Todd Haley's job/role. Its like you guys read from a script every week.

Damn fish beat the eagles

Ben threw for the end zone had he completed it would have put our defense back on the field

L. Jones gets his first win!!!!!!!!


Great job Jones.

 

[SteelersHarley0120]

Great win, bye week next week a lot to work on when we play the Seahawks should be an interesting tough game.

 

[scraps]

Baltimore took another loss to Jax too. 22-20

 

[awboatguy]

Ravens lose again. They must have their eye on a high draft pick.

 

[TDX27]

AB with 27 catches in 2 weeks. WOW!

 

[Steel G]

Good game, terrific job by Ben coming in. Perfect time for a bye. Hope some bodies get heeled up cause this is the make or break stretch run now.

Ben threw for the end zone had he completed it would have put our defense back on the field

Had he completed it .. it would have been a TD .. and yes, our defense would have been back on the field AFTER A TD WAS SCORED ... That's football. Once they got the PI call and the first down ... they began to kneel to run out the clock. Had they not picked up a first down, they would not have been able to kneel and end the game.

Edit: Let me add that any strategy that ends with the Steelers kneeling in victory formation to end the game is GREAT clock management.
