PEDERSON VS. HALEY/TOMLIN

It was a beautiful thing watching Pederson do his thing (play-calling). There is no way that Haley could ever have called such a game. Pederson knows what it takes to win a big game (being aggresive). Haley knows how to lose a "little" game (against an inferior opponent)! And, Tomlin let it all happen. Took no responsibility. In the end, I was always very "on-edge" watching the Haley-led Steelers. I hope the new OC does not follow in Hayley's footsteps.

 

Haley was not the problem. Our HOF QB didn't warm up until the Lions game and then the defense crapped the bed from that game until the end.

Steelers made changes to the offensive side of the ball, when changes needed to be made on the defensive side. We'll see more of the same in '18.

 

I thought the second forth down go was pure guts and confidence !
With 5 minutes to go he said no way in hell am I punting it and hoping my D can make a stop ,that was the game right there IMO ! I bet the only other team that does that same thing in that situation is ,well,the Patriots .

 

When decisions work out coaches look good. When decisions don't work out coaches look bad. Peterson's a good coach. Tomlin's a good coach. Haley's a good coach. Why do people need to prop one up in an attempt to bring the other down?

Let's see if Peterson will have the consistency staying power that Tomlin has developed with the Steelers.

 

I hear what you're saying but to me its the coach that shows he has the balls to just do it !Tomlin punts it to Brady and company in that second 4th down situation no doubt about it

 

That play call with the TD pass to Foles was pure BALLS. However, it was also preparation and execution. I imagine Tomlin had a very confused look on his face after that play.

 

Our Defense sucks.

 

No way in hell tomlin can gameplan for a qb replacing an mvp like pederson did. Pederson is a far better coach he makes a scheme that CATERS to his players strengths and not a scheme that he just thinks will work.

 

did we waste the past 6 years with Haley? if Tomlin knew of Ben/Haley relationship, whey didn't he do something about it and not until 6 years later. what a waste.

 

The thing is Foles showed that he could play at a high level before Pederson became the coach.

Now there's more than one way to game plan and to make adjustments to win football games. Tomlin helped this team win with Ben, win without Ben, and win when Ben didn't play his best game.

Time will tell if Pederson is a far better coach. Let's see if Pederson has the consistency.

 

I don't know about that. Tomlin went for it on his share of 4th downs over the years.

 

He's probably still staring at the TV wondering what he just saw.

 

Yeah, but the Steelers defense is extra sh!tty.

 

You and I must be watching different games. Jacksonville's defense was pretty damn good this year. It took 2 Hall of Fame QBs to either put 42 points up on them (Roethlisberger) and beat them in the conference championship game (Brady). If the Steelers had the caliber of defense of the Jaguars... they win the Super Bowl. Period.

Let it go Blast. I doubt you will have any better degrees of success than I did.

 

Come on man, Landry played lights out against the Browns in week 17. You think Landry did that all on his own?

 

Totally agree and was B@#^& when he went for the two point conversion saying "That's exactly what Tomlin would do, compound the issue by making a 1 pt mistake into 2" Could have really bitten them...

 

He already did...it's on the tape.

 

Night and day ... SMH

 

Yes, this is what the NFL wants and I was pissed at everyone saying what a great game it was. It was a frkn track meet.

I thought the Eagle D made the Steelers look good. No sacks and wide open receivers. But all it took was one play to win the game...
