    In another thread, Blast just told us that listing a player as RBI tells us how they feel about that back. That is what the Steelers did with Harris every single game in 2024. End of argument. So glad we can finally be done with this. Thanks for playing.

    There you go again
    Everything Big Ben’s fault
    Yet
    The defensive genius
    Mikey T
    Couldn’t stop a nosebleed in playoffs
    Agreed turnovers hurt
    Yet
    Defense couldn’t get off the field
    Without stopping anyone
    I’m sure the shortcomings on defense were Big Ben’s fault too
    Browns looked like an offensive juggernaut in that game
    As did Jaguars
    Yet they fired offensive coordinator after giving up 45 points to Jags
    Makes sense

    Didn't Ben throw INT's in the '05, '08 and '10 playoffs? :shrug:

    Defense was able to get 3 and outs... but those were Cowher's players and Lebeau's coaching.

    How did that Cowher and LeBeau pairing work in 2004 giving up 41 points to the Patriots in the playoffs :shrug:.

    You do realize those two interceptions including a pick six in the 2010 Super Bowl contributed to the loss :rolleyes:.

    Fair enough, but at least we watched him play like an All-Pro in the playoffs in 2016 he had 357 yards rushing. Watt and Heyward have never played like All-Pros in the playoffs.

    But
    Key games in playoffs
    Bell injury prone
    Denver
    New England
    Yes
    Bell had a few good games in playoffs
    Once again
    Deflecting the piss poor defense in some of these playoff games

    Maybe Tomlin had too much influence on that defensive gameplan?!

    My argument is about the 2024 season, as it has always been, and you just handed me the win. Thanks for that.

    Im sure you believe that :lolol:

    Only problem is I never argued Najee wasnt the #1 RB. I argued Warren was better and would be RB 1.

    For the people who live in reality, we know which outcome played out.

    Toussaint fumble was bad,cost the steelers at least 3 points on offense but can't gave the defense a pass to gave up a 65 yards drive for a TD and the 2 points to the broncos after that.
