I hope we kick Tomlins @55

[Silver Blue&Red]

... even with a back up QB, I hope we embarrass his arrogant @55. His condescending attitude towards BB is getting old. His suggesting the Pats sabotage his head sets, etc. Yea "We have transparency" . We trip guys right out in the open. I really have come to despise this prick. I hope we hang a 50 burger this douche Mike Tomlin on why Steelers ruled Ben Roethlisberger out so early: ‘We’re a transparent group. We don’t hide’

 

[Jlaff]

Whew, glad to know Roethlisburger isn't playing, cause I thought he might, even though he just had surgery on his knee. Thanks for not keeping us guessing Tomlin.

I agree. Tomlin wishes he had Bill's knowledge on the jon.

After the headset gate whine, when issues were reported in multiple stadiums all season. I'll be fine if a bus hits him.

That's just dumb move by Tomlin. Why wouldn't he wait until as long as possible before ruling Ben The Raper out? Making the Patriots prepare for 2 quarterbacks would've been the smart move. Take any advantage that you can to get a step up on your opponent.

Does Tomlin think he's macho by making this move?

I'm glad he's not coaching my team

Coaches who try and bait the Pats into a battle of snark do so out of weakness - they think their teams need it. You never see BB do this.

Because he's a big, bade dude. ....

...And, he'll just cry to the league, if things don't go his way. That's how it's done now. (Ravens, Colts, Jest.....)

 

[Gwedd]

And it looks like the Steelers are back to being their regular selves again.......

 

[Froob]

If I were Bill I'd say "The Steelers are a real challenge, and we can't get tripped up here, they are a great team but, we can't let them get in a way of our goal this season and impede our path to getting to the Super Bowl."

Yup hes such a brave guy. Totally against doing anything cheap.......

Won because Brady was lost for the year. Pats would have easily repeated as AFC champs in 2008 with Brady.

I firmly believe that Tomlin ruled him out "so early" (what was it, 24 hrs ahead of Wednesday's injury report?) because his idiot backup QB Landry Jones was stirring the pot with the idea that Roethlisberger would play. To take it one step further, some of our own posters here have given their own personal timelines of what they experienced with the procedure, and none of them included the possibility of playing a professional football game only days later.

Hell, I was physically sick (puking, gray, sweating, etc) just from the anesthesia alone during my past surgery, and that lasted for about 24-36 full hours after the procedure. There was no way that Roethlisberger was doing anything this week, and possibly even next during the bye. If there was actual hope that Tomlin could reasonably try and "outfox" Bill Belichick, you bet your sweet ass that he'd have taken advantage of it like any other coach.

I don't think that anyone with half a brain would've fallen for the old "he's questionable" line after having a surgery that requires at least several weeks of healing, but that's just my take on it. In the end, Tomlin would have ended up looking even sillier than he already normally does.

I also think that he was attempting to prepare the team (and most of all, Landry Jones) for the idea that they were going to have to get to stepping on their weekly preparation, which obviously included the idea that they'd have to do it without their starting QB.

Imagine if Bill said he had inside sources that Jones was starting?
