Tomlin is not smart.

 

[InstaFace]

Somebody post that Southwest commercial with the coach who buys advance tickets to the championship game...

 

[Zedia]

Dumb

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Antonio Brown, nice situational awareness!

 

[McBride11]

The correct answer was kick the FG after the penalty

See ya next week Jax!

 

[grsharky7]

now its over.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

That last 30 seconds was incredibly dumb

 

[aksoxfan]

It's like they have no plan.

 

[Al Zarilla]

That’ll do it

 

[Boston Brawler]

Dilly dilly

 

[Sportsbstn]

The Steelers have one player dumber than the next

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Kicking is dumb, you need a TD.

You need to score twice. Getting 7 as time runs out does not help

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

There is much stupid happening.

 

[The Needler]

Should've kicked the field goal. No time for one now.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Pitt's situational awareness is unbelievably bad. They should fire Tomlin---and yes, I know they won't.

40 seconds left you kick the FG, try the onsides, and give yourself a chance (however small) to stay alive. A meaningless TD at end does NOTHING for you

 

[Oppo]

Such a horribly coached team with so much talent.

 

[pokey_reese]

Ok, I think they got this...

 

[mauidano]

 

[SumnerH]

They should kick right now.

From the 30 yd line, yes, but you get this close the odds are probably better on getting the quick TD now and the FG after the onside.

 

[Ale Xander]

YES THEY SCORED!!!!!

Good job tomlinators

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

Go for the 4 point play

 

[mostman]

So what was the point of that?

 

[Helmet Head]

Pitts talent is matched only by their stupidity

 

[GoDa]

Pittsburgh needs some kind of popup kickoff they can run under and keep going into the endzone.

 

[staz]

YAY TOUCHDOWN STEELERS!!!

 

[Ed Hillel]

You need to score twice. Getting 7 as time runs out does not help

So it’s easier to score a TD from midfield than the 5? Really?

 

[edmunddantes]

You can’t advance an onside kick right? Games over.

 

[Van Everyman]

Ummm and you laughed when I said not over

We haven’t stopped laughing

 

[koufax32]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!


Lololololololololllll

 

[Brand Name]

Pyrrhic victory for Ben!

They've nicely illustrated this point for you.

 

[ngruz25]

Kick the FG, onsides, you have 30 seconds to score a TD from the 50.

 

[McBride11]

Like the Tomlin close up with the spit in his beard

 

[Zedia]

That's awesome that they scored. Just - mmmwah!

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Jesus Christ Jags, you couldn't make him take 4 seconds to score a td. You had to give it up in 3 seconds.

 

[DJnVa]

Why no FG? Wow.

 

[Ale Xander]

From the 30 yd line, yes, but you get this close the odds are probably better on getting the quick TD now and the FG after the onside.

Not really, you can miss fro 47, or you can get a penalty with a runoff. Plus the game cant end in a penalty so you want to make it a 1 score game once you know onsides is a must.

 

[Silverdude2167]

Seems like Pitt is not good at end of game situations...glad Pitt did not focus on that after the Pats game and instead on the correct catch ruling.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Brown cost them the chance to recover the onside kick and have time left

 

[Dollar]

They needed to spike it after the grounding, then kick the FG, then onside and Hail Mary.

 

[Ale Xander]

Wait what? The clock hit zero!

 

[CreedBratton]

Jags it is. Trip to super bowl again

 

[pokey_reese]

What was the O/U for this game?

 

[mauidano]

 

[The Needler]

From the 30 yd line, yes, but you get this close the odds are probably better on getting the quick TD now and the FG after the onside.

It's about time. You can score a TD on a hal Mary on the first play after the onside. Not a FG.

 

[Sportsbstn]

What was the O/U for this game?

41 I believe

At 40 seconds at that part of the field, I go for 7. Much higher chance of getting a long FG try than scoring a TD after you recover an onside.

 

[mostman]

You can’t score with it.

 

[Jordu]

Clock doesn’t run on an extra point?

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Having 30 seconds and needing 7 > Having 1 second and needing 3
