Does Tomlin know...

If the kicker was any good it wouldn't of went to OT, so going for it on the last two drives was correct. Passing on 3rd and 2 and a designed qb run to the outside of 4th and 2 was terrible. Run with Bell on 3rd down and if he gains anything at all, run it up the middle with him again on 4th down.

And then they went away from what little strengths Vick still has.  And that last pass he doesn't make when he's 25.  Not blaming Vick for doing what they told him to do.

Bad calls on 3rd and 4th?  Definitely.

I will go to the grave though saying you have to try the FG in OT.  If they got that first down and then lost 10 yards on the next three plays what does Tomlin do?  Go for it again?  Send in the kicker you just told to the nation you don't trust at all?

He didn't miss every kick by a huge margin.  Make him try it.  And if he misses and you lose you take the blame for that call...not the call that had about as much chance as the kick anyway.

He screwed himself by going with his "belly" and not thinking ahead.  Again.
