I have been a Tomlin supporter with reservation and now I am convinced this team has won in spite of him. I dont want to hear about our injuries or suspensions or how good SF was. His clock mgmt is brutal and his game preparation continues to confound. Yup. We have 10 games but I believe thats more on the players than Tomlin. Horrible performance tonight.

I would say yes...Some things I like about Mikey T......other things drive me crazy.....You touched on what drives me crazy......Originally Posted by SteelDad
I thought Ben moved the ball well in the no BA, I mean no huddle. I thought the clock management at hlf sucked, not sure if it was ben or Mike!

We have to credit the 49ers defense, they aren't #1 in the league or top 5 in every major category for nothing.
Having said that, the clock management of Tomlin has always been questionable at best. Anytime you get close to halftime the offense seems to go into stupid mode with dumb penalties, poor clock management, and missed opportunities.
Some of that goes on Ben as well, he needs to make quicker decisions in the pocket and snap the ball quicker.
That game was laughable. Does tomlin not have any balls? Can't even tell his own QB and his playoff hope to sit down on the bench. Early or late in the game, take your pick.
Clock management tonight before the half was on Ben
I've never been a fan, as a matter of fact, as most know me on here, I've been an adamant opponent. I have mentioned this before, and I mean no offense by the statement as I myself am not Anglo nor in any way a bigot or racist, but I do feel with the strongest of conviction that Tomlin was hired because he was black. The Rooneys felt they had to stand behind the rule named after them and so they actively sought to hire a black head coach. He was never the most qualified at the time he was hired, and there still remains other coaches out there that would excel with Roethlisberger and this defense.
What is most troubling is that I feel for the same reason that Tomlin was hired, it will take a long time before he gets fired.

It may not be for nothing, but it certainly isn't because they are that good. One look at their schedule reveals a lot of the mystery behind how they are 11-2.
Clock management is always on the head coach. The head coach should always know what time it is, and he can always call timeout.
"TROY POLOMALU WAS A GENETIC EXPERIMENT TO CREATE THE ULTIMATE SAFETY, THE EXPERIMENT WENT HORRIBLY WRONG, FOR 31 NFL TEAMS"
This year has made me start to question Tomlin a lot more than I have recently. Every week he does something new that makes you go
This week I could pick out quite a few things, but obviously the clock management at the end of the 1st half stands out far and away. I just don't get how you let an opportunity to put points on the board slip away like that..
BRC imo i think that was the problem,is that he had to get rid of the ball to quick.it was obvious he had no mobility and thats not his style.I don't think you can play if your too preoccupied with your injury.
His clock mgmt. has never been great,but Ben had to play a game he is not used to at all. He is used to extending the play not make the quick decision game.
Also give 9er D some credit,they had the benefit of playing with a long field behind them for most of the night.They made the STEELERS drive the field and not make mistakes, which is something the STEELER D likes to do.
