    Great to see but frustrating at the same time.....where the **** was that last year against Jax could of won us that game. Tomlin where you at? You should of been demanding that last year ,it's is truly asinine that he didn't and it wasn't part of our playbook. I just don't get this coaching staff. They do some dumb **** on Tomlins watch....

    More amazing is the fact Brady (Mr cry if you finger breeze grazes him) does it on a regular and successful basis and yet the coaching staff in Pittsburgh cites concern for health of the QB for why they Don't use it.

    I'm kinda surprised this revolution of a QB sneak isn't getting more attention. That **** cost us and most likely would of won us the Jax playoff game . We couldn't run it in playoff game but we can in a regular season game. I don't wanna hear new OC. If Haley was that stupid to not run it ,Tomlin should of over ruled him and demanded it. It's things like this that really cast a serious shadow of doubt over Tomlin and his ability to coach between the lines. It's really inexcusable and I don't want to hear they are scared of Ben getting hurt complete BS. I will never forget the game Tomlin left Ben in to die against SF and now all of a sudden they were concerned with injury. So,they were concerned last year in a playoff game but now Ben being a year older he can run them in the regular season....it's horse****. Just brain dead decision making...

    You will never believe Tomlin can coach if you have doubts after all these years. It's difficult to take someone who has that opinion seriously after all these years.

    Sorry but the Steelers were not a QB sneak away from even being close to winning the Jags playoff game. Turnovers killed the team's chances to win.

    Whats in the past is in the past. Nothing can be done about it. Let it go.

    Ben has also ran more this year. It's not a lot, but he's gotten it done in big situations! I think he being leaner helps but a new offensive coordinator hasn't hurt.

    The new OC seems to be working out of Haley's playbook a lot, but I'm glad this is one of the changes that's been made. It doesn't even have to be a sneak, just don't let it be a pitch 5 yards behind the line or a weird screen type pass to a receiver who doesn't look for the ball, like in the AFCCG the year before (although that game was probably in the books before the goal-to-go debacle).

    Thank you.! It's ridiculous the lengths some people will go ,not to criticize. I've been in enough of these debates lately where my fan status has been questioned and now my opinion can't be taken seriously by someone else because I point out the ridiculousness and the ramifications of not having a simple QB sneak in the playbook. Football games are often won and lost by a few plays here and there and you can't tell me a couple of conversions on those short yardage situations couldn't have played a major factor. Even if they didn't the point still is that it's asinine not to have the option. I've already stated why the injury excuse is BS. I don't know....the QB sneak has been reinstalled in our playbook and heck we're even running it in the regular season. So I guess they are learning from the past and they are doing something about it. Sure glad they learned from last year and didn't sweep their mistakes under the rug. I guess there is something being done about what happened in the past and they're not just letting it go....just wish they would of figured it out sooner....
