I agree, and I don't agree. Maybe Kitchens shouldn't have had his starters out there, but when it is obvious the other team is going to continue to score on you even though it's a lost cause I can understand Kitchens not wanting to let that happen. If the Steelers just took the knee then there'd have been no reason for Kitchens to try and break up the play anymore. I'd say 85% Tomlin and 15% Kitchens for blame.
Blaming either HC is misguided imo even though in hindsight the best move for Tomlin would have been to concede the game, but you never see that in the NFL. So suggesting they should have done it last night imo is a hindsight is 20/20 type point of view.
Two possessions down, losing team with the ball concedes with 20 seconds on the clock...it makes sense to be honest, maybe we'll see it in the future.
