TRAIN WRECK! Who's more to blame?

Tomlin? Haley? Mendenhall? Special Teams? Wallace?

 

I say Tomlin. He is the head coach and gets paid to make the tough decisions and has final say on all matters on the field.

 

Certainly lots of blame to go around

 

You left out 'all of the above'.

 

Special teams. Anyone expecting our offense to do much of anything in this game with Lefty in there may be a little too optimistic, so to give up a TD return on ST when our defense is shutting them down was our downfall.

 

WOw, Tomlin just said he thought Lefty was great.

 

Couldnt have said it better myself!

 

Tomlin:

1) Fade pass to a speed WR on 3rd and 2
2) Leaves Leftwich in the game like he's got manning talent
3) Calls TO with 2:04 left, saves 4 seconds- risks losing 40
4) 2 TO calls in the red zone because team is unprepared, settles for a FG

 

team loss all around

 

I'd say Wallace because with a little more effort, he could of had an easy first down and put the offense in a good position

 

Steelers 10
Ravens 6
Ravens Special Teams 7


HACK

 

Yea right! Minus no turnovers, the D played lights out

 

Much as I hate losing to Baltimore I think the Collinsworth had it right. IT was an old fashion Steelers type game complete with a abandoning a run game early that was working, relying too much on a vertical passing attack, a QB trying to play Superman while injured and still a tight game. Oh well another week to prepare for the Browns.

 

That's what I thought I heard. Gritty he said.

 

100% tomlin the second he named lefty the starter over charlie he was the cause of the loss. you cant tell me charlie wouldnt have gotten 14 points the way we were running the ball

 

Tomlin should be smacked upside the head for saying that.

 

All of the above. The OL just looked heinous on pass pro - T's got completely owned by blitz on pass pro. Not terrible on run blocking but just not sure why the coaches went away from the effective RB Dwyer and kept putting in rahtard for his dancing additions. I'm on the fence. Just really frustrated and PO'd at Tomlin.

 

sure did he cant admit he F ed up when he picked him to start over charlie. thats why we will lose again next week becaise tomlin thoght lefty deserves to start again.. hes a air sucking out of shape piece of crap

HINES

 

Mike Wallace. He DIRECTLY cost us 7 points. 3 on the fumble and 4 when he failed to get both feet in bounds for the TD.

 

4 points eh? Is that a new type of score or something in football? Haha

 

Under the circumstances, your #3 was a good call by Tomlin. The play coming out of the TO was a 3rd down. If the Steelers dont go offsides, the Ravens would have punted the 1st play after the 2min warning. The Steelers would have gotten the ball with almost the entire 2mins remaining on the clock. Because the Ravens got to replay 3rd down after the 2min warning, the Steelers didnt get the ball until 1:12 was left in the game. The offsides call made that plan backfire.. but you dont have the luxury of a crystal ball in that moment.

 

Agreed
