Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread - Week 1 Steelers @ Pats

[sieglo]

Tomlin as usual the dumbest coach in the league.

He’s afraid of taking a shutout. Loser.

 

[PP2]

LOL... Steelers going for the FG when they're on the goal line.. guess who's living in their heads, rent-free.

 

[mgcolby]

not going for it ? really ?

Probably heard Zo in his headset telling him to take the points...

 

[Viper652]

You probably won't win anyway. Any coach worth his salt goes for it there

 

[Ross12]

When even Al Michaels basically says "uh, what? that was stupid"

 

[Froob]

Gutless move to kick it.

 

[NashuaPats]

Damn, of course it had to bounce away from all our guys.

And they gained 2 yards too. Lucky bastards

 

[Pats2000]

Denied us a goose egg, very small of them. I blame the signing of AB on that chicanery.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

Let's keep the shut out

I swear... They said:

The Blue Cat wants a shutout so kick the Field Goal!!!

 

[TomPatriot]

Michaels is right. Steelers should have gone for it. Diff between a 3 and 2 score game.

They’re not getting McCourty to stop on the route again.

 

[fightingirish595]

I guess the Steelers are just looking for moral victories at this point

 

[Betterthanmost]

Jason is forgiven due to that play in the superbowl, but that was a cuttable offense

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Lololololololololol

Tomlin takes the 19-yard field goal.

 

[farn]

My top 5 players of the first half.

#1 DMac
#2 Edelman
#3 Wynn
#4 White
#5 Gilmore

HMs - Shelton, Chung, Brady, Collins, Gunner and Cannon.

Players who have had issues this half.

Karras, Thuney (very little push, against a very good interior granted) Bennet (has been silent) and Simon (again has been silent). Some of those are nitpicks.

Simon is a DEF nitpick. What IS Simon ? He is in the rotation of an amazing D that is holding the opponent to nothing & almost getting a pick. He’s been good.

 

[Patstastic]

That's an absolute dumb call by Tomlin. Getting 3 does zero good. Wow. That's just ludicrous.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Where the F is JC?

 

[fnordcircle]

LOL... Steelers going for the FG when they're on the goal line.. guess who's living in their heads, rent-free.

It was such a huge vote of no-confidence. There's very few instances where I think kicking the FG from the 1 is the right call and that wasn't one of them.

 

[patfanken]

A lot of good defense on that series, but also a LOT of good opportunities missed and that's why they got the 3 2 3rd and longs, a dropped pick. Ticky tack penalty

Defense was on the field for 10 minutes. Need at leas two first downs on this series

 

[Rob0729]

Imagine how much a thorn the Steelers could have been in the Patriots' side over the years if they didn't have Tomlin for a head coach.

 

[farn]

Tomlin as usual the dumbest coach in the league.

You underestimate the many crappy options.
