The 73 yard Run

[Wingman]

The secondary should have been able to make the tackle it did not. I do not believe the guy would have gone anywhere if Timmons was not held, that is a tackle that he normally makes. Just another instance of the zebras screwing the steelers. Just like the old days. Lot of you guys are likely not old enough to remember listening to the games on the radio with Myron Cope and Jack Flemming. Jack would announce the score something like this steelers 17 what ever team 7 and the zebras 14 which reflected on the steelers getting cheated on some calls that either denied the points for the steelers or gave some to the other team or both. It was a something to hear and those two guys were not at all shy about jumping on the zebras or the other team or its owners. Ah the good ole days when the game was won by brute force.

Timmons is being bear hugged. Sucks the defense gave up a big run. This is not acceptable.

We have to consider they played without McLendon, Shazier and Polamalu as well.

Who was playing DT on that play?

They were on nickle i believe two lineman Tuitt and Heyward.

This is about the defense so I will place it here

anyone want to tell me how Timmons got wrapped up by the dancing bear with h is arms at his sides while standing in the hole?

Im not a Timmons hater. So put the gun away. He still got beat / held / however you want to put it.. and it shouldn't have happened like that. He has to make that play.. just like Heyward cant get get blown out .

I suggest you look again at "how Timmons was being held". No way he makes the play because his right arm is pinned to the defender, who, also has his left shoulder immobilized as well...

No excuses there - just the facts of what the photo shows.
