Fans Fed Up With Tomlin

Ben and Bell and others can sometimes cover up a bad call or wrong call with their ability.  That doesn't change the call being made in the first place.

One BIG reason I hate the fake field goal...let your stars make the play unless you absolutely have the element of surprise working on you side.

The problem with arians play calling was that his entire approach to running the offense was wrong, so the plays we could run sucked - i.e. no full back for short yardage and lack of run commitment eliminated play action. Any fan can complain about a bad play call from their OC basically every game. I'm more thankful that haley's approach to the offense gives the offense and identity and plays to the strengths while still considering favorable match-ups. As long as that's on track one particular call is forgivable.

The fake FG was on Tomlin. Haley would have chose to have the offense out there and no way the ST coach calls that on his own. The Bell game winning Wildcat was probably also on Tomlin. He had the mindset that he had the time to call a t.o. and run another play. That had an impact on the play selection and was why it was a risky play, even if it was Haley's choice.
