Personally, I'm done talking about what a moronic call it was, but what amazes me more than anything, is just how horribly the play was set up.

As others have pointed out, the Steelers thought about it.........for awhile..........that gave the Giants pause. They had time to REALLY fucking be ready for anything.

Then we still run the fake.

Pretty unbelievable.

If you're going to fake it there, you IMMEDIATELY send your field goal unit onto the field.

Then you run it.

You don't think about it for five fucking minutes, giving the defense time to plan for any situation.

I DETESTED the call. The set up was even worse. Much worse.

Everyone's opinion here is based on hindsight.

Even your analysis in the All-22 is...but I never see you put that disclaimer at the end of every single one of your posts.

It's getting old and tired when you bring this up as a way of belittling their people's arguments, IC.

And this is what I am talking about.

Why didn't Tomlin already have options in mind BEFORE 4th down?

This happens a lot with this team...they get into this situation and they dither and take their time before deciding.

If you're thinking you're in four-down territory, you should ALREADY KNOW the options you are considering BEFORE 4th down gets there.

Sunday was not an isolated incident in this regard.

Doubt they knew they were in 4-down territory, jeems, until 3rd down anyway. BTW...at their friday practice, steelers practiced the fake they ran and also the same play with suisham throwing

I get that the truth hurts.

If you don't wanna hear it, stop passing opinion off as fact

You don't say I (Jeemie, the cubicle worker from Philly area) thinks its a bad call. You say it was unequivocally, without a doubt, non arguable, a bad call.

I get that you wouldn't have run it. But at the same time nobody is looking to hire you as a HC or ST's coach.

Never once have I said I liked the call. I just have a problem with people telling me one or another and expect me to accept just because they put it in print

I am not jumping into this.

Not true.

I posted in the game thread I understood the call...I repeated that opinion and I was taken to task. I defended my opinion and the same bullshit was said so I said fuck it.

Tomlin said it was stupid...I believe he had enough

After 24 pages I have had enough of this thread
