7. With all the time it took to review that, the Steelers had time to put a proper plan in place.

What if it's a TD (that's easy), what if it's incomplete, what if they spot it on the 1 yard line (those seem like the only possible outcomes). When I saw only 1 WR, I think Tomlin got caught with his pants down. He was expecting that it would be upheld and had no plan in place if it wasn't. The play had to be a pass play (whether from the 1 or the from the previous line of scrimage) or they would have run out of time trying to kick a FG for the tie if it failed, so they should have had a better one than that. If the ball wasn't picked off, they would have kicked the FG for the tie.
