Perhaps harbaugh has taken a page from Tomlin's book of preparedness. Since the rats are facing a bottom dwelling circus trainwreck team he feels he doesn't have to practice his better veteran players?

Marcus Gilbert, David DeCastro and Morgan Burnett, all of whom missed the Bucs game with injuries, participated fully in Wednesday's practice. Mike Hilton (elbow) did not. He was in a sling. JuJu Smith-Schuster (abdomen) did not practice. Foster and Roethlisberger vet day off https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1045044504699588613

I'm sorry B2B. I didn't mean to offend. I just don't agree with tomlin's approach. We can agree to disagree.
A little friendly jab for ya B2B....

I think I have a better shot having leprosy and being more accepted than as a Tomlin Loyalist. lol
The argument still becomes....who is out there that everyone wants of Tomlin was to "retire"
There is Bellicheat. Pats fans are about done with him...
Eagles HC is too soft
Harbaugh? Reid? Saban?
Hopefully the defence could hold Flacco in check maybe and begin to have cohesiveness back there in the 2ndary!

I feel like, since 2007 they have figured out how to play their best football late in the year.
How each of Tomlin's team's finished the season since 2008:
9-1
3-2
8-2
6-2
2-3
3-1
4-1
5-2
9-1
10-2

Do you guys seriously think that Tomlin is the only coach that gives vets off days? I’d say it’s likely a common practice around the league.
How many were bitching about the Great Caahr giving Bettis and Ward a couple days off every week. Hell, IIRC there was one season where Bus rarely practice.

Not practicing for the Ravens on Wednesday were cornerback Anthony Averett (hamstring), wide receiver John Brown (not injury related), cornerback Brandon Carr (knee), defensive tackle Willie Henry (abdomen), quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness), tackle Ronnie Stanley (foot), linebacker Terrell Suggs (knee) and safety Eric Weddle (not injury related).
Of those 8 players who did not practice on Wednesday, only Averett and Henry were inactive for Baltimore in Week 3 and the latter has yet to dress for a game this season.
Limited for the Ravens on Wednesday were tight end Hayden Hurst (foot), backer Anthony Levine (hamstring), linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) and defensive tackle Michael Pierce (foot). It’s worth noting that Mosley, Hurst and Pierce were all inactive with injuries in Week 3

The more important record...Tomlin’s teams in the postseason since 2011
0-1
Did not participate
Did not participate

Only one of those seasons since 2011 did a Tomlin-coached team earn a playoff bye...showing you those strong finishes were necessary just to scrape into the playoffs.

Playing well late in the season only to fail in the postseason [one and done] kinda makes the late season success not so awesome. Unless you like regular season win stats?

Patriots went 10 season in between Super Bowl wins in '05 to '15 with the greatest quarterback and greatest coach ever despite playing in the least competitive division in football, so should they have fired Belichek at some point during that stretch? Maybe, just maybe, it is pretty damn hard and takes lots of luck to win a super bowl. Tomlin is arguably the second best coach in the NFL over the past 10 years, yet most have wanted to get rid of him for years, which has always been confusing to me because we could end up with much much worse.

I haven't felt that way until the last few seasons. To be honest I've always given Tomlin the benefit of the doubt. I'm not a hater so much as I'm a 'room for improvement' type of guy. You have to admit this team has evolved into a trainwreck and it's gotten progressively worse each year the last several seasons. JMO
Tomlin is a great coach. You can tell by his press conferences. Dude is smart.

I would agree w this assessment. His vocabulary and use of witty phrases always remind me that this guy is Mensa Society caliber.
Have to give credit where credit is due......highly cerebral HC, insanely good strategist, one of the best at making necessary adjustments......a defensive mastermind. Rarely gets outcoahed.

Do you think anyone is going to believe what you poast when there were 2 SB appearances in that time span? Seriously?

Well, the argument could definitely be made that by playing in the worst division in football for the last 15 years makes it easier for them to secure home field advantage, while the PS have played in the toughest division in football over Tomlin's time here. Just look at the number of playoff appearances made by us, Baltimore and Cincy in the last 10 years. Not to mention, every time we play Baltimore and Cincy its a battle physically which takes its toll for sure. Maybe this is the year we make a run, maybe not, time will tell, but I will enjoy the ride just like I do every season, except for the 80's, cause that really sucked.

Too bad it hasn't worked in the postseason. Or against the Patriots.

I keep hearing that bullshit excuse about playing in a weak division, but tell me, what is the Patriots' record in that time against non-division teams? Never mind, I'll tell you:
The Patriots are 71-19 since 2003 in the AFC East. That’s a .789 winning percentage. Outside the division, they are 119-34 which is a .778 winning percentage. Pretty much the same. Too often, particularly on this site, you get inch-deep analysis branding the AFC East as a parade of weak sisters the Patriots knock down like ducks in a shooting gallery when the truth is, the whole damn league’s been ducks in a shooting gallery for them since 2003. The reality is the entire league is loaded with bum quarterbacks and less than mediocre head coaches. It’s not an AFC East thing.
Oh, and your 80's really weren't as bad as you think. Yes, there were some really bad years, but the Steelers made the playoffs four years during the decade with one visit to the AFC Championship with Mark Malone behind center. Imagine how far Noll would have gone with a QB like Ben.

I’m actually onboard with the idea that 1) an NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint, and that 2) a team catching its stride going into December and playing its best ball then is a recipe for a Super Bowl Run.
But let’s not pretend Tomlin is achieving both of those things. Since we won in 09’, Tomlin hasn’t excelled in January, and the embarrassment in Foxboro two years ago should really be the example of how well this guy game plans and coaches in the most important games that time of year.

I guess I don't have a problem with Tomlin's theory either, the NFL season is a freaking grind like no other
But then you can look to the Pats. They start off the season pedal to the metal and don't fuck around. Has been the most successful franchise for 15 yrs now. And we've had more talented rosters over that time period.

When we're talking coaching its obvious. Different strokes for different coaches. I prefer to pedal to the medal and I believe I'll never witness that here at least with the present coaching staff. If there was anything I do like about the cheats it is their tenacity and drive. They start off fast scoring. Continue to score and keep scoring even in a blowout. That's what peaks my interest in a good football team. The 'take no prisoners' mentality. Jump out in front scoring and not look back. No such term in NE football as turtling.

Ravens Thursday Injury Report Week 4: LB Terrell Suggs Remains Sidelined
By Dave Bryan
The Baltimore Ravens have now released their second injury report of Week 4 and their Thursday afternoon offering ahead of their Sunday night road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers looks a lot different than the one they released on Wednesday.
Not practicing for a second consecutive day for the Ravens on Thursday were cornerback Anthony Averett (hamstring), defensive tackle Willie Henry (abdomen) and linebacker Terrell Suggs (knee). It’s worth noting, however, that Averett and Henry were both inactive for Baltimore in Week 3 and the two backups appear destined to be scratched again on Sunday night. Suggs, however, is the name to watch on Friday.
Limited for the Ravens again on Thursday was tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) and thus the rookie first-round draft pick still might not be ready to make his NFL debut Sunday night against the Steelers.
Eight players on the Ravens injury report practiced fully on Thursday and that list includes wide receiver John Brown (not injury related), cornerback Brandon Carr (knee), quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness), tackle Ronnie Stanley (foot), safety Eric Weddle (not injury related), backer Anthony Levine (hamstring), linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee) and defensive tackle Michael Pierce (foot).
Of those eight players listed as practicing fully on Thursday, Levine, Mosley and Pierce were previously listed as being limited on the Ravens Wednesday injury report. The other five players that practiced fully on Thursday, Brown, Carr, Jackson, Stanley and Weddle, all had sat out the Ravens Wednesday practice.

Ravens Friday Injury Report Week 4:
By Dave Bryan
The Baltimore Ravens have now released their final injury report of Week 4 and their Friday offering shows that two players have officially been ruled out for the team’s Sunday night road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers while another seven players enter the weekend with a questionable listing.
After failing to practice again on Friday the Ravens officially ruled out cornerback Anthony Averett (hamstring) and defensive tackle Willie Henry (abdomen) for the Sunday night game against the Steelers.
After practicing on a limited basis on Friday, linebacker Terrell Suggs (knee) and tight end Hayden Hurst (foot) both end the week listed as questionable. Hurst, by the way, has yet to make his NFL debut and him not practicing fully any this past week might be a sign that he won’t play Sunday night against the Steelers.
Also ending the week listed as questionable for the Ravens were backer Anthony Levine (hamstring), linebacker C.J. Mosley (knee), defensive tackle Michael Pierce (foot), tackle Ronnie Stanley (foot), and cornerback Brandon Carr (knee). It’s worth noting, however, that all five of those players are listed on the Ravens Friday injury report as having practiced fully earlier in the day.
Not receiving game status designations on Friday from the Ravens were wide receiver John Brown (not injury related), quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) and safety Eric Weddle (not injury related).
