Who thought we'd lose because of Ben & Tomlin?

Awful interception. Awful clock management. Wow

And why are we not kicking a 51 yard FG when we had the chance?


Amazing game from our defense.

Fire Tomlin and give the job to Keith Butler or Mike Munchak.

 

How can you disagree? Ben's INT was horrible ... I was shocked he forced that. Even if we punt and we win .

Then the clock management and punting an 18 yard punt instead of attempting a 51 yard FG. Then on the last drive throwing passes in the middle of the field instead of using the side lines is stupid if you are running out of time.

 

Munchak coached the Titans. Did you miss that? Notice how that first sentence is in past tense.

 

Yea and who did he have with the Titans? We're just a TAD more talented then what he had with the Titans . I can't believe I need to explain that.

 

Did you see the pass protection today? Who was in charge of that exactly? To say that Munch should be coaching the Steelers is pretty out there dude.

 

Out O-line did a nice job today. We're missing 2 or 3 of our best players on the line. Munchak is one is the best online coaches in the league. Since he was hired our offense has been great. Get a clue.

 

Now we have to hope "if such-and-such team wins, or such-and-such team loses" to make the playoffs. Not really in our control anymore.....smh

Looking more and more like Brady will get his 5th SB.

 

Gilbert and Foster played horrible today. AV is clearly not the answer in pass protection. I agree that Munchak has done a good job somewhat with the line but to say that he should be the coach is stretching it greatly. Why not Haley? We've been the number one offense with him, right? Have we been the number one o line?

 

With Tomlin coaching, it never shocks me when we lose, because every year he gives away a couple games due to poor decision making. Ben also gives away a game or two every game with horrible play.

 

No - Ben played poorly. Our coach did a piss poor job managing the game and we lost. I'd also say Brown wasn't good. There's more to being a good head coach. Munchak had been thought of as a good potential HC. That's why I threw his name out there cause players that have played for him say he's a great leader.

 

So the sacks were all Ben? Getting flushed out of the pocket was all Ben? Yes. Ben played horrible today but I don't see how you can act like the line was lights out.

 

Ben was garbage today 3 ints and only 10 pts, the O-line was terrible too many penalties.

 

The entire offense played like ass, with the exception of Heath. Brown and Bryant both dropped balls that shoulda been caught. Yes Tomlin made mistakes but the poor play on offense was more about execution. As the game went on, Ben was not planting well at all. This is why those balls were sailing. The damn penalties sure did not help... and you for sure can not hang that on Tomlin. Don't get me wrong... Tomlin does aggravate me.. Hard loss and it stings bad... we no longer control our own destiny.

 

Ben tends to sail the ball high when he's off and that's what he did today. The D did its part and only asked for 17 friggin points from the offense. Even with Bell's injury, we had enough weapons to do that today. Bad play calling and after the first drive, Bad Ben.

 

And Belichick coached the Browns, Carroll coached the Pats, Gruden coached the Raiders, so what's your point?

 

BFT I've got to ask did you watch the same game I did? There were times today the line gave Ben ALL DAY TO THROW THE BALL. On one of the INTs he had time to eat a sandwich and drink a cup of coffee. I think you're being a little hard on the OL, they played well enough to win. This loss was all Ben.

 

Too true, AB had a big drop and Bryant had two, TWO passes clank off his facemask, one in the endzone. Just not our day, or our season really.

 

Did you guys watch Bens press conference? He was asked about that play to Bryant when 15 secs left. He responded in a very weird way. Wonder what that is all about.

 

Uh, elaborate please.

 

Ben didn't even give his WRs a chance on that last play, throwing the ball out of bounds .

 

I totally agree that there were plays where they held their blocks well. I'm just saying that I don't think Ben felt comfortable with AV in there because pressure was being given up. There was also a HUGE play where Foster held when Ben rushed in to the red zone. Also a big play to AB was called back because of Gilbert. Their play was very costly as well. I agree that the picks were on Ben though. The one at the end to AB was just him sailing the ball. He was protected fine. Williams didn't have a great day though and Bell was doing better. I honestly think Bell compensates for a lot of inadequacy along the line with just his pure freakish skill.

 

Well, we complain when he doesn't throw the ball away so...

 

This. The defense played an awesome game. INTs, 3 and outs, offensive penalties, only scored 3 points in more than 3 quarters. This loss was all on Ben and the offense, including Haley for play calling and Tomlin for not kicking a 51 yarder with a 8/8 kicker and poor clos management again.

 

He was asked the thought process on the play and he sternly said " I'm not going to talk about that" He seemed really pissed at that moment.
