Wk 10 Steelers vs Washington Dumb Names Gameday Thread

[slashsteel]

Pierre didn't have a defender within one mile of him. How about just make an easy catch?

He is a corner not a WR…

 

[BLITZ]

guess they are believing all the hype about how great the special teams are

 

[str8liner]

My god....That had to be the most ridiculous play calls in Steelers history.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Ordinarily I'd hate that fake, but it was so wide open, this must have been something they saw on film that Wash leave the winger open. The play did work. He just dropped it. I do think you could have saved that for a punt closer to midfield though.

 

[Steelersfan84]

But he never had a losing season.......

 

[Steelmann]

By the way. Even if that call works,I would call it absolutely ******* stupid.

 

[Chicoman]

Only because it didn't work.

No that's just st00pid. On the road up 7-0 in the first quarter backed up in your own endzone on 4th & 18. I know the Defense might not have been expecting that but cmon man.....you just gave the Redskins a TD! Tie game now the crowd is back into the game and your in their house....Just Horrible!

I bet that wasn’t a recalled play but an automatic call based on the receiver being uncovered.

Tomlin dumbassery

 

[Troglodyte]

Why was the fake punt a bad call? By all means, it should have worked. Pierre dropped a pass a pedestrian could catch.

 

[Super Dave]

James Pierre owes us 7

Wouldn’t you save it for when you need a momentum change,a spark etc. He just let the momentum change….crowd back in the game etc.

I can't wait to hear Tomlin's explanation of a Fake Punt in the shadow of your own Goal Line when you are up 7-0. Nothing like giving them 7 points!

HORRIBLE!

"I was just trying to give their offense a spark if you will. I felt at that point in the game the ebb and flow dictated we could possibly step on the gas and pull away. I wanted to give our fans the entertainment they deserve by keeping it close. Also cardiologists back in Pittsburgh a steady income stream. When all you have is red paint, cut off your eyelids....obviously."

Up 7-0 with 5 mins left in first quarter. Basically guaranteeing Washington points if it fails.

Unbelievable.

 

[MT~Forged]

Wrong call on punt fake. Yes it would have been successful had it been caught, BUT that was a call for when you put the dagger in for the kill, not a this early in the game with a lead.


Salute the nation

Have to disagree, the situation dictated that play. It was spot on in every aspect except the failure on StPieere

He is a corner not a WR…

90% of the people in the stands could've caught that ball.

 

[steelersfootball4life]

Only because it didn't work.

The play worked, but the player did not. However, shouldn't have called that play in that situation.
That was just the coaching staff trying to out think the opponent. Rarely works out for them.

 

[KentuckySteeler]

I actually applaud the call as it was wide open. Pierre sucked.

Did u miss what happened after he dropped it?
Total game change
That is the risk of the call.

 

[Drink IRON City]

Fake punt, would never expect that two in a row…….

He doesn’t live in his fears.

 

[Gildong Sack]

Not crazy about the decision ,but hard to criticize the fake punt too much because it was there for the taking.

NEVER on your side of the 40 when you are winning....Football 101. That was epically stupid even if it worked.

 

[madinsomniac]

Jefferson doesn't track the ball as well as you would want a speed guy to.. but he is the best blocking wr... id swap him on most 3rd down
