How you know... furthermore, how do you know that they weren't going to grab that first running the ball like they had been doing all game?

Exactly these dudes love playing Monday morning quarterback. Yes I woulda kicked it deep. HOWEVER I understand why Tomlin did it. Horrible execution by the kicker

The Steelers D had 3 and outs during the game, you have better odds at getting a 3 and out than you do converting an onside kick

True indeed..... but if we're to by what transpired during the game... the likelihood of them getting that 3 and out was marginal........ how many turnovers did the Jags have?

they could have had a chance at BOTH. normal onside kicks, even when they fail, don't go 3 yards. they could have kept them out of field goal range with a proper kick. if that kick goes the full 10 yards, and the steelers don't recover ans still get the 3 and out, theres a good chance the Jags don't attempt a 50+ yard field goal.

onside kick call wasn't a problem, it was the terrible execution that ended the game. onside kick gave them 2 chances to get the ball back.(if they either recover it or it goes the normal distance and they get the stop).

anyway, steelers gotta fix their defense asap. secondary is trash, and defensive coordinator is too.


Losing our best defensive player to a spinal injury certainly made our defense worse. Shazier may have overplayed the run on occasion, but he was a huge disruptor and game changer defensively. His speed allowed him to recover on lots of plays that would have otherwise been explosive. He would have been the one who tracked down Yeldon on those big 3rd down plays.

I think Haley has to be gone though
