Guess they wouldn't shutup about the '07 game.
He asked if there was any questions about this week.
Then hung up.
Atta boy!

His was a very heartbreaking loss in 2007 against the Jaguars.
The Steelers had a lot of injuries in this game, but they had a lot of heart... It was 28-10 jaguars, but the Steelers have had an almost unbelievable comeback....The Steelers led 29-28 and had a play to win the game, but unfortunately Garrard has incredible play on a 4th and 2 and the Jaguars have won this game.
The Steelers have had 4 losses in a row against the Jaguars between 2005 to 2007, but now the Jaguars are not a good team right now!

@EdBouchette reports Tomlin conference call with Jags beaters lasted about 4 minutes. lol #steelers
From the twitter thread....

Wow, Tomlin hung up on us because he didn't like getting a question about the 2007 playoff game. Wasn't Vito. #Jaguars#Steelers
"I understand that might have been a big game in Jacksonville, but that’s old news" Tomlin said. #Jaguars#Steelers
"Anybody got questions relative to this week?" Tomlin said, short pause and as the next question started, said thanks & hung up.
it is not normal. RT @rock_star_chef: @taniaganguli is that first time something like that has happened or is it a norm

http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/pos...ille-reportersDon't bring up the 2008 playoff loss to Jacksonville to Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Jacksonville reporters learned that the hard way when Tomlin abruptly ended Wednesday's conference call by hanging up, according to Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union.
On the eighth question of the conference call, Tomlin was asked about his memories from that playoff game. This is the Steelers' first meeting with the Jaguars since losing to them, 31-29, in January 2008. "I remember David Garrard of course on the draw on fourth down," Tomlin said. "That’s one of those plays that you’ll never forget. It was a big play.”
Someone asked if he sent a tape of that play to the league office because there was questionable holding that wasn't called. “Guys, come on man," Tomlin said. "I’m not going to cry over four-year-old spilt milk. Anybody got any legitimate questions?"
A reporter said it was a big game from Jacksonville's standpoint. "Anybody got questions relative to this week?" Tomlin said. According to the Florida Times-Union account of the conference call, Tomlin then took a short pause, and as the next question was starting to get asked, he said thanks and hung up.
My suggestion is no one should bring up that Super Bowl loss to the Packers anytime soon, too.
seems to me he answered a question about it and they kept hammering him when he said to move on.....
And why was it such a big game from Jacksonville's standpoint?? Didn't they lose the next one?
Someone asked if he sent a tape of that play to the league office because there was questionable holding that wasn't called.
Stupid question
I think I might have to side with the Jacksonville reporters on this one. From their perspective, talking about that playoff game is their only angle to make a story this week. So they ask him about it. Big deal. If it had been Belichick hanging up on the Pittsburgh media for whatever reason he would been taking a lot of grief from this board, and rightly so. It's not like Tomlin would give them anything of substance anyway, "they came into a hostile environment and even though we attempted to defend every blade of grass..."
On the other hand, he did them a favor by hanging up on them. Now they actually have a story that's semi-interesting.
"This is the Steelers' first meeting with the Jaguars since losing to them, 31-29, in January 2008."
No its not, we played them in the 08 regular season and won 26-21...
COME ON ESPN...

There was a hell of a lot of holding on that 4th and 2 play.
Yep, the quote stillers4me put up and the quote on ESPN were different for some reason.

Hopefully it lit a fire under Tomlin, who will light an atomic bomb under the players.
All Defense!

Tomlin never needs a fire lit under him.
Good, Fck the Jaguars!
SuperBowl Wins - How many does YOUR team have? Steelers 6, 49ers 5, Cowboys 5, Packers 4, Giants 4, Pats 4, Redskins 3, Raiders 3, Broncos 2, Dolphins 2, Colts 2, Ravens 2, Bears 1, Jets 1, Bucs 1, Rams 1, Chiefs 1, Saints 1, Hawks 1
Good on ya, Mike. Fuck 'em. I'd have hung up on them too.

"No more soup for you!" Next! Mike Tomlin the interview Nazi. For those who don't watch Sienfeld, ask someone that does.
My only question is how much Der Kommissar is gonna fine Tomlin for this. You know it's coming.
Bwa ha ha ha ha!!!!
Way to kick 'em in the cahoonans Coach T.
CANCER - YOU PICKED THE WRONG BITCH!!!
that was a great learning experience for Tomlin. Remember the failed two point conversion? Regardless, that was one epic game.
Another take....
http://www.bigcatcountry.com/2011/10...sonville-mediaNow, coaches have hung up before when they've gotten annoyed with a line of questioning, but to do so after a single question? That's kind of a jerk move by Tomlin. If it was old news to the Steelers, why did the question irritate him to the point of hanging up on the media?
You mad bro?
Sure, he's mad, bro. To the tune of two Super Bowl appearances and one win since that game. What exactly have the Jaguars done since getting dickstomped the following week in Foxboro? Seems to me about jack shit. But keep on clinging to the "glory" of winning that wildcard game.
Array title="Count Steeler has a reputation beyond repute">
Must really suck to measure your team's success by counting your victories over the Steelers. Keep that up fellas, while we continue to add to our SB total.
Array title="stillers4me has a reputation beyond repute">
Appartently, it was not one "single question".....Here is the actual transcript:
http://blog.triblive.com/steel-mill/...NzZj_c.twitterTalk about how your team has had to change things up a little bit in trying different things to win this year
“First of all, this is still a very early portion of the season and we’re trying to find ourselves like everyone else, and you’d better win games along the way. That’s simply our process. We don’t go into any season holding on to any personality traits. We build it from ground zero every year with the understanding that we’re trying to be a good football team. We want to play to our strengths and try to minimize our weaknesses. So we’re a work in progress, no doubt, and we’ll just continue to walk the journey. And like I said earlier, we’d better to find ways to win along the way.”
On Ben Roethlisberger’s play so far this season
“Ben is very consistent. He’s a competitor. He realized, of course, the gravity of last week’s game. It’s always important that you bounce back from the type of performance that we had in Houston. He’s always kind of delivered those kinds of timely performances for us.”
On your run defense against Maurice Jones-Drew
“Jones-Drew, of course, is a spectacular player. We’re going to have our hands full there trying to slow him down. We respect him for what he’s capable of and we’ve got a lot of work to do.”
What’s been the problem with the run defense?
“We’ve given up some big runs.” (this makes me
Why?
“A myriad of reasons. There are usually reasons why people give up runs. People are not where they’re supposed to be or they’re getting physically whipped and/or both, and I think such has been the case with us. We don’t run away from that. We’re working hard on a daily basis trying to right those things.”
Is the age of your defense a concern for you?
“No.”
Why not?
“It just isn’t. We’re very comfortable where we are from a personnel standpoint not only with our starters but with our backups. We believe we’ve got good quality depth. I think they’ll be given plenty of opportunities to prove that.”
This is Jacksonville’s first game up in Pittsburgh since the 2008 playoff game. Any memories of that playoff game?
“Not really. I remember David Garrard of course on the draw on fourth down. That’s one of those plays that you’ll never forget. It was a big play.”
Did you send tape of that play to league office?
“No.”
Why not?
“Why would I?”
Wasn’t there a questionable non-call holding on that play?
“Guys, come on man. I’m not going to cry over four-year-old spilt milk. Anybody got any legitimate questions?”
It was a big game from Jacksonville’s standpoint
“Guys, that was four years ago. I understand that might have been a big game in Jacksonville four years ago but that’s old news. Many of those guys are no longer here and definitely many of the guys that were in Jacksonville are no longer there. Anybody got any questions relative to this week?”
That interview was perfectly fine right up until the obvious bait 'n hook question. Again, good on ya, Mike, for not taking the bait.
One playoffs win since 2000 for the JagsAnother take....

Ladies and gentlemen, the difference between a classy coach and John Harbaugh!Did you send tape of that play to league office?
“No.”

Not to mention that lard bucket Holmgren.
The Faguar media seemed to be trolling Tomlin over his first big failure. They wanted to ask Tomlin about that playoff game, but what about the 2008 game where Pittsburgh went down to Jacksonville and beat them?
Since that playoff game...
Steelers: 36-17 Record. Two Division Titles. Two Super Bowl Appearances. One Super Bowl Victory.
Jaguars: 21-32 Record. Failed to make the playoffs once. No Division Titles. Two losing seasons.
Yeah, Jacksonville. We so mad.
Array title="GodfatherofSoul is a jewel in the rough">
Thanks for posting that part of the transcripts. Total bait trap! Jags fans sound like the loser in the song Glory Days. "Remember, when I was awesome that one time years ago? Remember?!?!? Let's talk about it some more!"
Array title="stillers4me has a reputation beyond repute">
And as I recall, we were a troupe of walking wounded for that game.
Next week, the Steelers face the Cardinals and he probably the cards fan they will say that the TD of Santonio Holmes was not good!
The cards are 6-15 since Warner left.
