You don't think leaving the offense on the field would have been the right call in that situation?
You're proving my point.
Win/loss records aside, Cowher took a mediocre team and made them great (more than once), Tomlin took a great team and made them mediocre.
I figured him out awhile ago. It's simple: 1. His persistent negativity regarding the Steelers is due to his hatred of dad. 2. He's feminine...
I'd settle for Barrel Man. [IMG]
It's an engineering term. ;+) [IMG]
Again, that's why a reasonable coach doesn't put the entire season in #44's hands.
The Steelers have had plenty of opportunities to draft successful db's. It's another facet that's not working under Tomlin.
So when they win, it's due to coaching but when they lose it's due to the players?
I guess we have different perspectives on things like this.
All that winning and here we sit hoping the Browns can help back us into the playoffs. And Tomlin's winning percentage in those playoffs is right...
This is part of the problem. The standard (which is the standard) has dipped so low that a botched challenge is considered fine, because it wasn't...
Yup-yup, and the same to you and your family.
In the OP's defense, he really didn't need to find an excuse, there's plenty of prime examples.
That tie did me a favor for the whole season, it kept my expectations very low.
Back into the playoffs just to watch Tomlin p!ss away another winnable game, hmmmmm.
'Above average' is good enough for you?
If you 'understand the NFL', you should understand why challenges used incorrectly are a big deal.
Ah yes, smoke and mirrors.:rolleyes:
The tie vs Cleveland would stay?;+)
