Played their worst game of the year offensively. D played well.
Pittsburgh always brings out a good Jacksonville matchup.
Good win.

wow...I was following on Gamecast, but gave up midway thru the 4th Quarter to do battle with the leaves and the yard
I think the Jax win probability was 90% at the time
Tomlin with terrible clock management at the 2 minute warning. He allows almost 10 seconds to run off the clock to get to the 2 minute warning rather than call TO. He had 3 TO’s and the 2 minute warning. I don’t understand how these “expert coaches” can make such simple mistakes.
That was the right thing to do. If he takes a TO there, he has none when they get the ball back.
Yeah. Ok. Always Tomlin fault. Every smart coach would have done the same.
I’m perplexed how people who consider themselves fans of he game are not comprehending the mismanaged clock situation at the 2 minute warning.
I was looking for a time out prior to the two minute warning as well.
Let’s hear your strategy I that situation? Help me make up my mind what would be the best move.
Also, how about running the ball at the 2 yard line with a time out in your pocket!

Why would he waste a timeout to save 5 second when it was 2nd down? Save the timeout. I never understood why people think you need to stop the clock 3 times prior to the 2 minute warning. Romo mad mention to with the 2 minute warning nd 3 timeouts they could have even afforded a Jacksonville first down.
The guy is 7-2-1 this season, he has the second best winning % during his time in the NFL, I am sure he knows football situations better then some stooges on a message board.
I think it was a bigger mistake going for 2 after the first TD. If they kicked an extra point a field goal would have won the game at the end. I didn't mind they didn't call a time out. 2 minutes is plenty of time to score and at least tie it up. JAX couldn't do a thing on offense in the second half. It would have been a different story if they had an offense that could score at will.
The decision by Tomlin go for 2 late in the third quarter trailing 16 - 6 was a bit of a head scratcher. I guess the thinking was 2 TD and 2 two point conversions would tie. I would have thought to get the extra point and you are one TD / PAT and one FG away from a lead. It seemed more likely than converting 2 two point tries the way the Steeler offense had struggled.
Thankfully, it did not matter.

Agree. 2 two point conversions against that defense is wishful thinking the way they played in the first half.
Please explain to me how using a TO prior to the 2 minute warning is “wasting one” given the situation that we saw with the Steelers today. Rewatch if you must. You’ll eventually get it. He didn’t save a TO. He simply let nearly 10 seconds run off the clock before it was stopped by the 2MW.
The only thing that might sense is if you use the TO’s before the 2 minute warning, then on 3rd down, you could pass and not worry about running the ball so they use all their TO’s. So if there is 2:02 and it’s 3rd and 5, then you should throw it. As opposed to 1:55 left and then you run it so they have to use a TO.
Does that even make sense? Because I agree with you PSU95. I would have used all 3 before the 2:00 warning.

It all worked out so as much as you wanna see Tomlin fall, he doesn't again.. Like I said, lets see your coaching resume vs his.
Who said I want to see Tomlin fail? Not sure why you are so defensive Nate. Do you have some sort of a man crush on MT?
I have no coaching resume. However, you obviously feel Tomlin is above any criticism.
It isn't. You call 2 timeouts before the 2 minute warning and the third timeout is the 2 minute warning and you still have a timeout. It's simple math but coaches don't seem to grasp the concept that anyone who played Madden a day in their life would. Maybe the Browns should hire Rice and just let her make those kind of decisions.
All this said, since a rough start, Tomlin has done a very good job managing this team through difficult times especially with the Bell saga but his time management has always been and likely will always be horrible.
Yet another one who doesn’t get it. I can’t for the life of me see why this is such a hard concept for some people to grasp. Especially nfl coaches.
Well said 2020. You nailed it. And yes, Tomlin has done a great job. However, some people think you can’t be critical while still thinking a person is a good head coach.
If he takes the TO before the warning he saves 10 seconds. After the warning he saves 30 seconds.
I believe they also wasted 20 seconds when they got down to the 10 or 15 yd line. They took their time lining up and getting organized only to spike it. Should have either spiked it 10 sec earlier or ran a play.
But they scored and won so it’s hard to be too picky....

Yeah It’s just basic math comprehension. Tomlin has been asked about keeping timeouts in the past. He likes to keep one on the board. That remaining timeout left a lot of options on offense. Without those options do they win? We will never know.
The goal was to take the lead with as little or no time left. I’d say they did a dam good job.
And it seems as if people cannot comprehend basic math, yourself included (no disrespect intended).
None taken. However, I have game film and results to back my argument. Unfortunately for you, there is none.
Please explain to me how with all 3 TO's and the 2MW at his disposal, Tomlin was saving a TO by letting 10 seconds tick off the clock to reach the 2MW. Watch the game film you have as many times as necessary. Then run the scenario over and over again in your head as many times as it takes. I'll wait for your reply. If you have an ounce of intelligence and honesty, you'll not only realize that I'm right, but you'll admit it too.
Take your time.

Ooops, sorry. Robroy has spoken, thus we shall all cease speaking of it and respect the great...... oh screw it.
Why do you say "enough on this"? To hell with "enough", I'm starting a new thread on it.
Probably because its not going anywhere. Neither party is budging in their beliefs. And is it really that big a deal?¯\_(ツ)_/¯
