    Shouldn’t have to come down to last minute heroics practically ever game. But that is how we like to roll under our great head coach.

    The decider was the dumb fake 4th down call to Nix, there was no need for it. Plus the annoying thing is we are capable of beating anyone, only now we depend on Cleveland.
    Frustrating as ...........

    Yeah....everyone goes for it on 4th down there, makes stupid challenge calls all season, plays down to the competition week after week, doesn’t hold his players accountable, on and on and on. The guy is not head coach material. He’s wasted a huge window for Pittsburgh to win mutilple Super Bowls. It’s pathetic what he has done with this team due to his coaching considering the talent they have.

    I hate having multiple scenarios in order for us to get in. The refs and dumb mistakes and play calls hurt us. We honestly don’t deserve to get in based on the last 6 weeks.

    Not blaming Tomlin!Two 4Th down pass interference calls with one debatable and the Hayden one in the end zone that was the worst call ever!!

    I thought Ravens were done and hairball on his way out. Congrats to them, they also could have beaten NO and KC, they're good, more disciplined

    We are an average FB team. If we didn’t lose to crappy teams like DEN and OAK, we wouldn’t be in this predicament.

    FMTI - if no balls to do so, then let the entire DEF coaching staff have their walking papers.

    The one good thing about BALT winning the division, they are typically capable of beating NE in January.

    Who’s on the list of DEF free agents coming available? Time to use Bells money wisely.

    Based on how we played the last 2 weeks i seriously gave us a shot to go to the superbowl. Winning vs kc woulda been tough but I think we could have pulled it off.

    If that fake punt and missing the playoffs with this talented team and going 0-10 in his last 10 challenges don't get him fired, I'm going to be extremely pissed off.

    Watching that play unfold, I said oh no, I knew the ball was coming out. The way he got tackled, low and high and twisted around. I knew it.

    But he did throw the challenge flag. He also didnt get conservative and start running the ball against the #1 run defense. He also continued passing the ball after it was obvious the saints couldnt stop it.

    They have changed everything but the coach and it is the same situation year after year. Any other team in the NFL would have run him out of town by now. But the Rooneys cant bc of the Rooney rule. Cold hard facts.

    I agree with all of that but TODAY...The Refs, and Ridley lost the game...1st 2 TD's and the next to last play was P.I.

    People who are complaining at the officiating are not looking at the bigger picture here; Pittsburgh got themselves into this mess... or more specifically Keith Butler. That three game losing skid did not assist at all. Furthermore, missed oppurtunities magnified this issue.



    He does not deserve to be back on this coaching staff next season; Joey Porter and Jerry Olsavsky the same. For that matter, there is now one further lingering issue I am sure Art Rooney II will have to make:



    "Is it time to move on?"

    I'm not going to hang this one on Tomlin. The fake punt may have been left to Danny Smith or Berry to call. If it works and the Steelers score on that drive, we are having a party. It didn't so it's all Tomlin's fault. I can't understand why Ridley was in on that play to fumble anyway. Was it Tomlin or Fichtner's call? Again, we don't know. What I do know is that this thing isn't over. I would not be so quick to think that Baltimore is going to run the Browns out of the stadium next week. The Browns are trending upward, and want to beat the Ratbirds as bad, if not worse than us.
