Of those, I'd only even think remotely about Del Rio.
I appreciate LeBeau, but not in the later years. His scheme had more than worn out its welcome by the time he was in his final 5-6 seasons. If not...
? Not in the game I saw today. They were pushing right up until the end - we just didn't have an answer for them defensively.
I don't buy it. A Steelers/Pats rematch in the AFCCG is a much bigger draw than Jags/Pats - no contest. We just didn't get it done. We were flat...
Also, wasn't Cowher in the ear of the GM during the draft each year?
Agree. It was a bad throw - those types get INT'd more often than caught by the receiver.
I said this a couple of weeks ago, and I supposed we'll never know for sure - I still think it played at least some part in today's performance....
I voted Haley. With the footnote that goes down as an oxymoron - (some) people will scratch their heads and say "But he managed to put up 42 on...
Yeah, that's the "underachieving" part I mentioned. They got to the NFL on talent - so why all of a sudden do they look like a bunch of JV kids...
Was it that, or was it that people started to figure out his schemes? And that our players (paraphrased from posters here) were too "dumb" to get...
I'm always glad we make the playoffs, regardless of where it winds up (even if too early). There were some serious head-scratching moments out...
I like Cowher - but he couldn't survive in today's NFL. It's a different beast. I'm not a huge MT fan, but I seriously doubt he overlooked the...
Agree, but what if mgmt doesn't give him the players to replace them with? What if the backups are just as bad (or worse) than the starters?...
Not ruling out mistakes, but if you're gonna play that game - Ben also threw 5 TD's and kept us in the game. Did he give up the other 31?
2. Not Butler's fault we have underachieving/slow/aging/past-prime players in our secondary.
This, plus our O was not clicking until we were already down 21 - that didn't help.
I'm not saying it's a Steelers-only thing. All teams have drama like this - and I seriously doubt it all "just comes out" naturally.
You do realize that TV ratings for the NFL were down sharply this year, right? Just NFL fueling the media frenzy, and them returning the favor by...
But the fans adored him here... and that counts for quite a bit in owners' eyes.
At some point you have to ask yourself - with all of the offensive talent this team has had for the past few seasons (arguably the best Top 3...
