The fourth down and goal call....

Like talking to a wall when people show you a list of people he has developed, and a list of people that have played better for him than they did elsewhere, and people keep saying he can't develop talent. It's exactly like talking to a wall, or clapping with one hand. You somehow believe that in the draft this guys had a special magical tag that only the Steelers were allowed to draft them, and they didn't have to develop them.
3 simple examples : TJ Watt taken 30th in the draft, 7 pass rushers taken before him, if He was so sure a great pick, why did 29 team pass him by, why was 7 other pass rushers taken before him??
L. Bell : He was so for sure that he was passed up 47 times.
AB : He was such a sure thing that he lasted untill the 6th round, and 22 wrs were taken before him.
I can keep doing this, and I'm not even mentioning the guys that's best part of their careers came only while playing under Tomlin.

 

Of course, because hate has made you blind, that's OK it does it to many.
Tomlin called for the 3, the special team walk out there, and Rodgers ran to Tomlin, and had a discussion, and then Tomlin called the ST off. Watch the game.

 

So magic.
I didn't know so many people believed in magic until I got on this board.

 

I am completely neutral on Tomlin. I usually don't comment one way or the other on his coaching abilities. I watch football all day on Sunday and watch at least the highlights of every NFL game played during the week and I see coaches make much more boneheaded decisions than Tomlin every week. I certainly question a few of Tomlin's decisions on occasion but I don't think that he is anywhere near the NFL's worst coach.

 

You might be onto something there
I was at work, so I didn’t actually see the play
Also, not hate, time for a change. You do you and I will definitely do me.
I did hear on sports radio questioning the great Tomlin. Guess they are blinded with hate also…LOL

 

And won nothing with AB or Bell
Im sure it was all the players fault
Give up, Tomlin’s best years behind him. Don’t get me wrong, would love to see him prove me wrong by winning a Superbowl, but me n you have a better chance of winning the powerball than him winning another Superbowl
Love my Steelers
BTW aren’t you the same person that said the GM drafted the players and not Magic Mike? Or you just fitting your narrative that Magic Mike gets credit for developing these players?

 

TJ would’ve been great if we coached him
Keep believing Mikey is a magician.
He is avg at best
You go on and on about who cares if we win a playoff game it’s about winning the Superbowl or bust.
That’s true , but how in da blue hell do we ever get close to a Superbowl when you can’t win , count em, one 1 a single playoff game? Going on 9 years. Explain how that makes Mikey great?
Longest playoff drought in my lifetime and I am 6 decades old. Unlike the majority of today’s society, I am not satisfied with mediocrity.
I respect yours and others opinions. This is my opinion. Something has to change. We changed other coaches, GM, players but there is a common denominator that has been here for 18yrs.

 

So Arod is now over the HC?
Tell me exactly what Magic Mike does on the sidelines
Oh, he gets all the credit for when they win. My bad

 

TJ , one of the Steelers greats. May play his whole career here with Magic Mike and not win a single playoff game! You don’t see nothing wrong here?
Sometimes I think you are pulling my leg

 

Thanks for the new nickname.
MAGIC MIKE
sounds so much better than shades

 

Chance of interception and return

 

Seriously!!!!!

We went to Washington once on a 2 pt conversion and it was like taking candy from a baby.. then we proceed to forget that we have him when we're close to the goal line..
We could go Washington 100 times and it would work nearly every time....
That close to the goal line, it's as automatic as the tush push

 

And if the Steelers failed on 4th down the Vikings would get the ball near midfield, it was the right decision to punt.

 

If the punt was blocked,the vikings are likely up....

 

But it wasn't blocked so it was the right decision

 

It's the same people saying kick the FG from the 3, when one has already been blocked from close range, and the offense was asking to go for it.
But take the risk of going for it at mid field with the team up only 3pts?

 

You always need to look at the possible reward in each decision

 

Remember this decision...It was just awful.No excuse for that.And it was not the only time.Just remember in week 2 vs Seattle.Tomlin is way too conservative too often in those fourth down call

 

This may have turned out to be the wrong decision. Still has no bearing on the Vikings game a season later. This has zero to do with the conversation at hand.

 

You actually watch these random people who make these videos

 

So if you don't actually see something , why say something like you did. I have watched the game 3 times now, and that's what happened. Hell half of the $hit people say isn't what they actually seen, it what they heard.

 

Move the goal post. You said he doesn't develop talent, and now since you know that's bull$hit its the playoffs. That's all you can really truly say that is real, we haven't won a playoff game in a while, the rest is bull$hit. What I don't understand about people is why they can't dislike something without making crap up. I've had this discussion many times on here. I hate a thief, but I don't have to make up stuff about them, and try convincing people that that thief is a murder, or a Pyro, or a rapist. Him being a thief is enough.
But many many people dislike Tomlin because we haven't won a playoff game in a long time somehow think they have to make crap up like, he can't develop players, they never game plan, they can't draft, he calls all the plays, he forceshis Qb to only throw certain places. Why can't you just dislike him because he hasn't won a playoff game, why the need to make up crap with it???LoL I will never understand that type of thought process.
