omg. i cant believe after 2 pages of posts im the first to say it was a dumb call. why? they had a time-out! if they had no time-outs, awesome call. w/ a time-out left, its pointless. it looked awesome for all of five seconds, then tomlin called a time-out. duh.

I think the point of the call was to make PITT use one of their time outs, and it worked to perfection. Now i don't know if they were really going to run the play had pitt not called their time out but it sure was exciting to switch it up like that. Who knows, it was Halloween, with all the voodoo that was in the dome, i wouldn't have been surprised to see hartley catching a 5 yard fade 1 handed in the endzone! might have had a better chance at that then making some "chip shots"!!

That was the point, to force them to call a timeout so they can't make any moves when they get the ball.
