The Mike Tomlin Week 12 Criticism Party was coming to an end until the former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback threw his name into the hat of those who questioned Tomlin's strange coaching decisions against him .
In Roethlisberger's podcast: Footbahlin with Ben RoethlisbergerThe former QB specifically highlighted Tomlin's fourth-down decisions: “Has he ever thought about punting on some of those four-downs or just trying to turn the field over?” You know, let's play the field position game, for example, because there were times when it was about scoring a long field goal on fourth down, you gave them field position.”
Roethlisberger's criticism rings true because if Pittsburgh had fumbled on some fourth downs, the Steelers might have improved to 9-2 on the season after last week's Thursday Night Football game.
While Tomlin's risks and questionable decisions may never truly satisfy Steelers fans, one can only wonder if the threat they pose might be enough to turn Tomlin's decision-making on its head.
