Actually, Brady won his first Super Bowl, and possibly one of the other two, BECAUSE of his defense. In fact, the Patriots don't even SNIFF their...
Ed Bouchette is on record as saying he had never seen a team this decimated by injuries. Indeed, that played a huge role in the team's 8-8 season....
They were known as the "Grits Blitz." And the DB coach was Jerry Glanville.
I just always hear my high school coach in my head: "bad technique will get you or a teammate injured." Now, what did he know? Probably not much,...
Long post, here, so bear with me. I need to vent. Most everyone else has hit it on the head. I agree with a lot of what's in this thread. I'll...
The problems were all over the place. Only a half dozen players showed up for the season.

OOOOOPS. My bad. Somehow I was looking at team offense and not defense on those last two points. Scratch that.
Maybe I have looked at the wrong stats, but they are not close to being #1 or #2 in each of those categories.
Steelers have 1 INT returned for a TD. 19 teams have at least 2. 11 teams have 3. Steelers do not have a fumble returned for a TD. 18 teams have...

Top ranked defense at what? It's difficult to argue a defense's effectiveness based on stats, but over the past few years, the D hasn't been able...
1. Force LeBeau into retirement 2. Install 4-3 Tampa defense 3. Only do #1 and #2 if Tomlin is prepared to become a leader and put his...
The Steelers need to blow this thing up and start over. The NFL is now all about youth.
The Steelers under Tomlin lack an identity. There isn't an underlying football philosophy and I remember seeing "red flags" when Tomlin was hired...
It's very difficult to compare Cowher and Tomlin (or, as Peter King did: Tomlin and Shula). THE GAME HAS CHANGED. Shula coached in a period where...
Does the Sh*t Heads sign refer to Tomlin, Haley, Roethlisberger, Mendenhall, etc.?
I'm in L.A. and was busy with family, so I haven't seen much except the final score. Can someone give me a rundown? I know Ben started it and...
A 9-7 record in... 1980: Bad! 1990: Bad! 1993: Bad! 2009: Bad! But a 9-7 record in... 1984: GOOD! 1989: GOOD! 2000: GOOD! What would a 9-7...
Injuries Turnovers Mental mistakes Penalties Players complaining to the media Players complaining to each other Losses to bad teams I sure hope...
