Tomlin butchered clock management

Throwing in the middle of the field didn't help either

 

I think Tomlin and Ben have the most impressive clock mismanagement resumes in the NFL today.

 

can we just hire a 15 year old kid who plays madden all week to call in the correct TO calls into Tomlin's headset?

 

That's funny cause my teenager was yelling "why are we not calling TO!" The world will never know.

 

Tomlin lets his coordinators call the game. Tomlin does two things... Clock management and challenges. He can't seem to handle either

 

Eagles already did.

 

Has the media ever asked him about it? That's an honest question. Not rhetorical. I mean if we can all see it then you KNOW he has to. RIght?!

 

Only thing that separated L. Jones and Ben today was their names

 

Hanging onto the timeouts opens up the entire field as a opposed to just the sidelines

 

17 points, Ben! That's all the defense asked you for. They played their tails off today and you couldn't give them 17 points? Especially after that first drive.

 

SURPRISE!! lol

 

That's because the Bengals were taking away the deep balls, using double coverage on AB and Bryant. The middle of the field was open that's why Heath caught all of those passes.

 

So you agree with my reasoning in the IQ thread?

 

Is this what Tomlin has said are his reasons? I'm honestly curious. I can see your point but I'm curious if this is his reasoning or yours. Also though sometimes we just don't use our TO's wisely regardless of the situation.

 

Tomlin is a moron. Always has been. But, he will be there until he retires unfortunately. People will see if they haven't already how terrible of a coach he really is.

 

Ben was doing stupid things long before Haley got here. He has never thrown the ball away when in trouble.

That wasn't Williams on the sideline INT on 2nd and 6. It was the FB Johnson. You really expect a 250 lb FB to stretch out like a WR? That ball should not gave been thrown late to a FB who had finished his route and who was being covered by a cb.

3 and 6 or a game changing INT that made it a 6 point game hmm tough call.

Some of Haley's calls are questionable as are those of any OC. He still directed the second best offense in the NFL last year.

Prior to Haley the offense consistently finished 10th-15th.

 

Tomlin has always been a horrible game manager. It's nothing new. We've been seeing it every year when he flubs a game or two.

Why in the world don't you kick a Field goal of 51 yards when your new field goal kicker is hitting on a 100% of his FG tries and Extra points and they're all right down Broadway? Trade that for a net yard punt of 18.

He never uses his TO's wisely. Should have had at least 2 extra plays at teh end if he just calls time with 2:38 on the clock.

 

Haley didn't imitate BA. Haley doesn't tell Ben which receiver to throw to. Haley draws up plays, which may very well have a guy running a deep route. That doesn't mean Ben needs to throw to that guy, especially if he's being doubled. If that's the case, which it was, that means there's some guys likely running shorter routes who are either uncovered or facing 1 on 1. So instead of throwing to Bryant who is being doubled, look for Brown who is 1 on 1, or heath who is uncovered, or Wheaton, or the RB, etc.

Don't blame Haley for drawing up a play that has a man running deep. Many plays have that, it's up to the QB to make the right decision.

 

Wouldn't be a big deal but this is like the 3rd game this year that this has happened. I am ready for something to change.

 

I'm talking on the final drive ...'they were in a prevent we could have used the sidelines and got the same 10-15 yards they were giving us. Thus stopping the clock and leaving us more time to score.
