    I don't need to read it in article, If you watched the game you would have seen the team wasn't ready to play

    Yep, carbon copy of the Jax game three years earlier, the game which should have started the rebuild. Instead, they wasted three years getting back to the exact same spot and Rooney rewards Tomlin with a shiny new contract.

    If you run into an ******* in the morning, you ran into an *******. If you run into assholes all day, you're the *******.

    this statement proves that while you may have watched it you didn’t understand it(for lack of a better term). Otherwise you would be pointing the finger squarely at the man that threw 7 interceptions.

    Cam is full of excuses, one of the highest paid players on the team, he also had week 17 off to rest and he gets 1 tackle in the playoff game :facepalm:.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that aren't they taught in that situation where you are not sure you can regain control of the ball and reestablish your self in the field of play that the best option is to knock it out the back of the endzone. Giving up 2 and possession is favorable over 7.

    I agree with your logic. But isn’t that a bit much to think about when you have half a second to react?

    Why weren't the Steelers on the details? Why weren't they prepared to handle the Browns rush? Why did they not prepare for the Browns quick passing game?

    Why did every single member of the Steelers look uninspired, flat, lost?

    You're citing the results of them not being prepared.

    I watched that play 20 times. It looked 2 me they both thought the other was going 2 jump on it. So neither did. LoL. Bad time for M. Pouncey 2 do that, but he has been having snapping problems on the regular for 2 straight year.
    Also not all in Shotgun.

    I agree, but they didn't.
    Also not the 1st time I've seen pro athletes do stuff that left me wondering how the hell did that happen.

    Defense could have made a couple of stops, too. 17-0 at the half could have been overcome.

    True but players have done it before too. So I expect Ben with all his experience to at least yell at Conner to knock it out.

    Conner blew it. He had plenty of time to fall on that ball and somehow managed to miss it.

    Lots of great gazing the situation from all you guys and a bunch have very valid points. All I will add is this is what we taught .. If you Carry the Football on the regular you scoop it if you have time if not you jump on it.. If you pass the Football then you scoop it and throw it away or you kick it out of the back of the endzone.. All OL know they are just suppose to fall on it..

    RB'S and QB'S actually practice these things in JV Football and on...It's very hard for me to not think it's been a long time since either of the 2 have practiced the situation ...This is not good from a getting prepared for the game standpoint.. After all the name of the game is Football so anything having to do with keeping it or anything having to do with taking it away should always be practiced.. This is how we always approched Individual time my entire time I have been around the game..

    The next time the Steelers are on the details under Tomlin will be the first.

    Sure looked like #7 wasn't ready to play. It is a shame.
