…But that was one of those dammed if you do type moves — if they score, no one make a big deal.

Mendy was gassed. The offensive line was gassed. And while some of the JAX players were gassed, their goal line specialists were fresh. By the time Ben got to the LOS, the snap count had to be rushed. There was no opportunity for an audible. It was a mess.

It shoulda been Redman in there, simply to let ’shard get some oxygen.

BTW, the NFL should change the rules for the play clock after long gains. It takes too long for BOTH teams to get downfield, and even if the O hurries, the D often doesn’t, and you can’t call a play in the huddle with the defense sauntering by within earshot. They should allow 15 seconds to run off the play clock, then stop it, and reset it to 25 seconds when the last defender crosses the new line of scrimmage.

It is simply wrong for a team that has just run a long gainer to be put at a disadvantage because players from both teams have to pick themselves off the ground and jog anywhere from 40 to 90 yards before the next play can begin.

Tomlin is like a high school coach in there at times. Every week we loose 2-3 timeouts A GAME because we arent prepared, dont have a play, etc. There is no reason for this. Also, every week there has been calls where he should of thrown the flag and he refuses to do it. Texans game; The play before the foster ran for a TD to beat us he should of thrown the flag. It might of been a play or two, but if you remember it was like a third and 10 or so and the tight end for the texans caught the pass over the middle and the ball hit the ground. Tomlin never threw the flag. You could clearly see the ball hit the ground. That gets turned around and we get the ball back and Foster never had that run. And honestly there was no call for that Mendenhall play in Jacksonville, this should be automatic that Redman or Dwyer should of been running to the next play after the long run from Tippy toes.

The offensive breakdown began in the first half, when Ben/Bruce went back to the 7 Step Drops.

in order to spread the D out? It just seems to me that that’s the best option
I’ve seen them this year and last year go for runs on short yard situations, i can’t remember too many success stories in that department

if you only knew something about football
