Tomlin

played starters the whole game including Rothlisberger who could barely move
in bad weather.

could be costly....Mendenhall and Allen looked serious.....Foster injured late .

Re: Tomlin

Why not?

Had a chance to move from 5 seed to 2 seed and get a bye. Pretty huge difference and worth playing your guys. Not as if Batlimore had an easy game either.

They get Denver next week so can't imagine they lose. Baltimore or NE after that will be tough

Re: Tomlin

Agree with Tripp. You got to play the starters here. 2 Seed is HUGE.

Well game didn't end till very late in the Steelers game. Can't imagine there was any more than 4 or 5 minutes left

Re: Tomlin

you know how many snaps there are in 5 game minutes ? what would be said if Polamalu or some key guy went down after balt had already won

Re: Tomlin

The original plan of 20-25 snaps would have sufficed for Ben....he got hit late on that
ankle and was hopping around after the play. Do they lose to Cleveland with that
defense even with Batch halfway in?.....I doubt it.

Re: Tomlin

Ben belongs on the shelf, he hurts the team, has for the last month and will next week.

could have been 2 mins im not sure just know it would have been really late in the game. if there were 5 mins or so yeah should have pulled the important players or at least just told them to be safe out there and dont risk injury to make a play

they could rest big ben next week and still beat denver though
