They had the lead and I think that they thought that as long as they were winning that they could keep him on the sideline and if they fell behind, they could put him back in and he'd get them the win. It's arrogant for sure, but Tomlin is such a doofus that I wouldn't put it past him. Even so it probably would have worked if Omar Epps knew how to manage the clock and his timeouts. Oakland goes first and goal at the 7 with 1:54 left and Epps lets them bleed the clock down even though he has 2 timeout. Maybe Coach Clueless thought that he could save them for next week? It was surreal to watch. It came down to 4 plays and he bet the Steelers sketchy defense vs the Raiders offense with no back up plan, and he rolled the dice and he lost.

I think coaches think calling timeouts there shows a lack of faith in the defense as if those aren’t professional athletes out there and there feelings are going to be hurt because you acknowledged the other team might score.
