Roethlisberger throws Haley under the bus: "I was yelling 'clock it'"

Surprise surprise. Ben Roethlisberger is back to his normal tricks, this time throwing Todd Haley under the bus for the decision to not spike the ball on the final play that led to the INT.

"It wasn't a fake spike," he said. "I was yelling 'clock it' because I felt like that was the thing to do, was clock it and get yourself one play. And it came from the sideline, 'Don't clock it. Don't clock it.' Well, at that time, everyone thinks it's clocked so you don't have any time to get everyone lined up. ... Eli (Rogers) kinda ran a quick slant in there and at that time you just got to try to make a big play. And I didn't make a good enough throw."

Make sure and click the link to watch the video. There are more specifics where he says Haley is the one who made the call. Jason LaCanfora reports however that Ben had two plays to choose from, and he chose the fake-spike.

Either way, this is interesting and not good for Pittsburgh.

Well, he did finish up with, "And I didn't make a good enough throw." So there's that, I guess. In the end, Rapesburg and Todd Haley can go intercourse each other. :D

I don't like either one of them, but anybody, anywhere can throw Haley under the bus and it's OK with me. Heck, even back it up and run over that sorry SOB again. I'll never forgive him for the stunts he pulled here. I don't care if he did hate the GM that shall never be named. He's a punk.

Pats own them. You'd be shitting all over the board after a loss like that.

And I'd be wrong if we were 11-3.

Torn calf for Brown. They are ****ing toast. Title 6 for the Pats.

It's partially torn. He'll be back for the playoffs. He has a month to recover.

Doubtful. Serious injury for a WR. Maaaaaybe a gimpy one and done. Toast without him. They barely beat GB and Balt at home with him. Took fluke, phoney Brown PIs to win those games. Frauds.

They are a few inches away from 7-7

There’s no way he’ll have his twitch back that quickly. Offense will go thru ju ju and Bryant.

FWIW, I think Haley was right. It was 3rd down. Just spiking it (clocking it?) gets you a fg to tie. Take a shot at the end zone first. They had plenty of time. Just don't throw the pass into that heavy of coverage. Throw it away. Then you still have the fg for the tie.

Good decision by Haley. Just a crappy play by Ben.
