Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Awful coaching by Steelers Tomlin cost them a W A 50 YD FG to win... And you pass I don't think so. He would have missed it. If you look at the stats, kickers do really poorly at Heinz field over 50 yards. I think Tucker's FG tonight at 52 is like a record for that field. I liked going for it on 4th down-- just not with Vick. How do you not just keep running sweeps and counters for Bell? Two huge fourth downs and you put it in your backup QBs hands?

The Dean Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Tomlin sucks. He should go back to being Omar Epps' stunt double Yup. Youngest coach to ever win a Super Bowl. .600+ winning percentage. Yup, he sucks bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Ravens 0-4 would be better for the Bills. Knock a team out of the mix. Steelers loss better for Bills. 0-3 effectively takes BAL out of the mix anyway. ( 98 Bills last playoff team to start 0-3. )PIT losing some games while Ben is out seems more advantageous. He's good enough to keep them around as WC contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimore had to have that W but they are still in a very tough spot, particularly because all 3 Ls are in conference. They will need to go on one hell of a run, and I just don't see it with that team this year. I agree that from a Bills-centric perspective the Pittsburgh L was preferable. How do you take Antonio Brown out of a game? Put Mike Vick at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Couple of bills cast-offs looking very good in Aiken and Cockrell. After watching Cockrell last nite, and him playing very well. That must have been a tough cut, and he seemed to thrive in that steeler D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockrell really struggled to do what the Bills wanted him to do. Glad he fits the Steelers' system better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacarri and coke Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 My first thought was wow these two teams are hard to watch kind of like the Bills two years ago....then I realized I was watching the Bills from two years ago.Aiken,Moats,and Cockrell that just reaffirmed to me how talented our team is we went from taking teams Cast offs to being the team that cuts players like that.Decent players but I'll take Darby,Butler,Preston,and Harvin thank you very much.

Glad he fits the Steelers' system better. was telling my son that's when you know you are getting better as a team...guy not good enough to make Bills has a major role on another team. And, its not cause the Bills made a mistake, its because they have a ton of good football players now! BTW, he also got burned pretty good on the TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Tale of two kickers Justin Tucker pulled the Baltimore Ravens from the jaws of a fourth-straight defeat with a 52-yard field goal against the Steelers in overtime. His counterpart, Josh Scobee, cost his team dearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland Rocks? Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Without Ben, Tomlin looks as dumb as every other losing coach. Also, Mike Vick is bad. Really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Without Ben, Tomlin looks as dumb as every other losing coach. Also, Mike Vick is bad. Really bad. Tomlin is getting a lot of heat for not having Bell run on that 4th and 1 (rightfully so). That said, Mike Vick can't complete a 5-yard out? I could have completed that pass.

Regarding Vick, don't put the game in his hands. Whether they should have let Scobee kick the 50 yarder, I don't know considering he missed two shorter ones. But expecting Vick to win the game was not smart in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was a stupider call was the Vick QB run on the other 4th and 1. It looked like they almost snapped his neck off. They could get whatever they wanted with those counter runs using Bell all night, and yet abanonded it at crunch time. By the way, now you know why Todd Haley is so up and down. He is sometimes way too cute for his own good-- something that a QB like Big Ben can mask with his excellent play, but that Vick obviously can not.

yungmack Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Was that Ed O'Neill on the Steelers sideline? Yep. He was with the Steelers Bradshaw's rookie year I believe. Don't think he made the team though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty set shotgun into a QB sweep? Awful call, the whole D collapsed when he started running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tu-Toned Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Wow I turned this game off after Baltimore turned it over on downs before the 2 minute warning.lI almost did, but with the .05 being put back on the clock, and the way the Steelers were playing, something told me to hold on there a minute Nellie!
