Playoffs ...

I have to agree with you on some of your points. We have had actually better talent and lost. We’ve had a better defense and LeVeon and still lost. I know Conner is good, but he isn’t better than Bell imo. I guess we’ll never know, because we didn’t make it in.

 

Bell was a huge loss, I’m admitting that now. Still 3 b’s and never made the bowl because coaching is not that good

 

Been hearing for three years now that Stillers are waaaay more talented than the Pats, but there's always an excuse.

In 2016, it was stupid zone coverage that allowed Brady to slice and dice the Steelers in AFCCG. The offense went missing too. A better strategy on D and the Pats are toast.

In 2017, it was the Jesse James catch, that some how forced this team to look past Jax in the playoffs.

In 2018, it was the refs, Boswell, Xavier Grimble deniying this uber talented team a chance to make noise in the playoffs

Yet, in all 3 years, with a weak D, revolving door WRs and RBs, injured Gronk, injured Edelman, the Pats get to the AFCCG every time. Could it be that the Steelers aren't as talented or as good as they, and their fans, think they are??

 

Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must admit I got so pissed off when it was 14-0 I turned off TV and went to bed to read. I knew when I didn't hear the neighbors yelling or the fireworks some idiot shoots off after every playoff win they have I might be a very happy boy. When I find out it was almost like a Steeler victory. DIE EAGLES DIE!!!!!!!

 

We don't have to hear that annoying fight song no more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So you're making a list and I assume checking it twice and now you will tell us who is naughty or nice. I know a fat guy with a beard who does the same thing.

One thing I've learned over the years is that most fans are bandwagon fans. Most Eagle fans I know will not watch rest of playoffs. Probably 1% of population really know and follow all the teams of any sport. When my annoying in-laws (eagle fans) start getting on my case I ask them questions like, name the AFC teams or NFC teams and they have not a clue.

 

we all need to admit we are not good. Good teams don't lose to inferior teams costing them bye weeks.... almost every damn year lol.

Talented and fun to watch though(not this year)

 

The stupid chargers DC stayed in zone the whole game, didnt he learn brady feasts on zone defense, KC will be in man most of the time this sunday see how that works out for the prima donna goat....

 

It's not going well for Brady or the Pats. Chiefs win and go to the SB.

 

The Saints are a testament to patience. They have made the playoffs three times in the past 7 seasons and had three 7 -9 seasons in a row. They have had a franchise QB just like the Steelers and they made some of the same personnel and cap mistakes that the Steelers have. I am guessing that a lot of their fans wanted the coach canned but they stayed the course and are now being rewarded.

 

Apples and Oranges. Saints and Steelers. Saints don't have selfish prima-donna divas poisoning the locker room. Payton has control over his team. Tomlin does not.

 

I'd trade AB, Tomlin & a 1st round pic for Sean. That guy can coach and has balls of steel, he should've been our coach.

 

QFT! The Sheagles fans are on par with Ratbirds fans for the most obnoxious lot in fandom. Watching them lose was borderline orgasmic.

 

Their coach built the roster they won the sb with and Brees before they got him was good but not at the level he's at now. Payton wasnt hand given an already made team.

 

Bingo. When AP was there( now granted it was easy to get rid of him with kamara and ingram) the moment he challenged peyton about not getting the ball he was out of there quicker than he could buy a house in new Orleans.

 

It was the coaches and scheme. They should have first off knew to switch everything up after the colts had already won. You knew at that point ne watched the bmore and la game very closely. They then used 6 dbs again vs a ne team that primarily had success this yr when they RAN THE BALL. and they aren't doing read option with Brady. They are running it between the tackles and you expected 6 Dbs to run through 300 pound offensive lineman? Horrible and then they stayed in zone the entire game never giving Brady any disguises or looks. He also never got sacked or even touched. He had enough to call Giselle, mr Kraft, check on the kids, etc.. before the rush got there. That was a TEAM failure of epic proportions.

 

Silver lining.. We get to watch a Pittsburgh star dominate and be arguably the best player in the league. Aaron Donald. Revis was the best corner for years and didn't run his mouth like these new fruit baskets. Fitz has arguably been the best/most consistent WR for 15 years and humble. Conner only beat freaking cancer and went on to be a Pro Bowl RB. AD is a monster. Pittsburgh breeds different dudes. Not like these me first pansies we draft from Florida and Louisiana.

 

.... and Michigan. Particularly Michigan St and Central Michigan.

 

Certainly no where near as well coached either and that's the biggest problem right now. IMO the pats are doing more with less and we are the opposite.

 

Sounds painfully familiar too.

 

But yet the Rooney's continue to piss away the years because of some useless and arbitrary philosophy.

 

i honestly didnt know AD, Revis, Fitz were from Pittsburgh lol

 

This is all that needs to be said!

 

Not to be funny, but they just went to school at Pitt.
