OT: Steelers Bengals

Yea. One thing I think we can all agree on is that Tomlin is a butcher when it comes to the clock. It’s unbelievable.
It’s amazing to me that so many coaches are awful with clock management. Eberflus at Chicago has set the bar extremely high for incompetence.
Charles Davis thinks that the Bengals should be happy that after giving up the ball with less than two minutes on the clock that they allowed the Stillers to go right down the field and kick a field goal?
Really?
Really?
From the 15 with no timeouts the odds of getting a touchdown are likely less than one percent. Higher odds of getting tackled in bounds and the clock running out
How often do you see a team score a touchdown in that same scenario, vs how many times do you see the quarterback chucking the ball ten yards out of the end zone because nobody is open?
Wilson at the half: 21-27 for 257, 2 TDs and 1 int when Pickens fell/was pulled down.
Yeah they are taught to throw it out of the end zone if nobody open. Which occurs the overwhelming majority of the time
Yes, definitely. Teams throw a TD pass there less than 1% of the time. And get sacked and don't get the field goal off all the time.
🤪
Just out of curiosity, have you ever watched football before?
On the 15. No timeouts. 10 seconds left in the half.Yes, definitely. Teams throw a TD pass there less than 1% of the time. And get sacked and don't get the field goal off all the time.

DEFINITELY one percent
Exactly. Which is why it is a play with almost all upside and almost no downside. The upside is you get the touchdown. The downside is that you kick a field goal with three seconds on the clock. Which is what happened anyway.
Almost all upside, almost no downside.
That stands alone in a lot of aspects. And if that wasn’t bad enough the post game comments - my god. If I hadn’t heard the clip I wouldn’t have believed it.
No upside just a dumb play that has little chance of success. I actually never understood why they do it, teams will be even more conservative because they don’t want to risk an interception in the end zone
You are welcome to provide scenarios where it actually worked but I know you can’t
Yeah, you're right, no team in the NFL has ever thrown a touchdown pass from the 16 yard line before.
I mean since people mentioned Matt Eberflus, it was just a couple of week ago that the Commanders completed a 52 yard pass on the last play of the game.
Or does that not count because 52 isn't 16?
Shhhhhh. There are people on this board who get triggered at any discussion on George’s immaturity.
