    One of the reasons I dislike MT. There are more oh clock mgmt, that no one is talking about today.
    I think Ben runs this team.

    I like how after the winning streak, it had gone surprisingly quiet on the anti-Tomlin posts.

    Then this happens and it's like everyone had them charged up ready to go.

    Not that it's unreasonable - it would be just our luck to lose Ben right now, and irritating as ****. But as I said earlier - we need to wait for the injury report.

    Again I will point out 4 games this week.....4 blowouts......4 coaches making the same decision!!!! I will not blame MT for Ben staying in there but like was said many times in this thread I blame the play calling. Put Dwill in the game and RUN THE DAMN BALL, get thru this game and focus on KC.

    I read it completely different, but I can't think of any celebrations he was referring to. Except maybe AB84 pointing to the defender as he raced into the EZ.

    Either way, I agree the STs has taken a small step backwards from last year but I would point the finger at players and Danny Smith before I would at MT.

    Yeah, that could have easily drawn a penalty for taunting.

    Absolutely! And we love him for it! But that does not change the fact that he should have been on the sidelines, under a coat, sipping a gatorade and watching Jones throw that last pick.

    I support Coach Tomlin. But I think he got this one wrong. It was cold, we had the win, get Ben out of there. Also, he does struggle with clock management. Those things dont make him a bad coach, just an imperfect one.

    Bradshaw called his own plays and had pretty good success with it. I agree that he should have been pulled but, do you really want to risk Laundry muffing a hand off?

    Well
    Tomlin takes responsibility of Ben's injury
    Said he was a little over- aggressive

    On to Kansas City!!!!!

    Also said he had an MRI Sunday night and feels it a little bit today, but he's walking around fine. I did wonder if it was a Freudian slip when he said ankle first this morning before correcting himself and saying foot. :hmm:

    I didn't catch that. I just read he aggravated an old foot injury.

    Interesting and a little worrisome.

    Where is the public outcry in Green Bay...as Rodgers took every snap even though they Packers were way ahead in the 4th Q?

    IIRC, it was a (really, really bad) high ankle sprain.

    i'm sure you're right
    sometime at the beginning of the game there will be a diagram of all his injuries the announcers will gush over.
    Who are the announcers?

    That was last year against the Raiders. Mid foot sprain or fracture.
