Darius Slay Blasts Steelers Defensive Scheme: ‘Backwards Over There’

I recall them being competitive games under Cowher, but maybe my memory fails me.

I only recall being humiliated under Tomlin, but that might be recency bias and knowing we have been a playoff laughingstock for 8+ years now.

I DO recall, however, us losing AFC CG a couple of times under Cowher when we were favored and the scent of Marty Schottenheimer wafted through the message boards. It's not all rainbows and unicorns from Cowher days. Not at all. That said, I don't recall ever thinking, before a playoff game, that we have NO CHANCE to win, as I have with the past 5+ playoff games. Even the Cleveland game, which I never thought would be a blowout, even with us handicapped with Mike Tomlin, I didn't think we'd win that game.

The biggest difference was, the Steelers would destroy teams occasionally under Cowher, even in the playoffs.

 

Hope you are wrong, but time will tell.

I get why they went McCarthy, but like many of you, was hoping we'd uncover the youthful, diamond-in-the-rough head coach. I wanted a HC that would press for blowout wins and would press for the offense to score early and often and TD's over FG's.

 

If there was a coach out there like that then Gooddell would squash their dreams unless it was for a specific team or two.

 

Or any other subject

 

Moats said Tomlin would make like 5 calls a game he didn't totally take over the play calling like Butler said, stop being so gullible .

 

Only two more months of this repetition and we can start counting who gets more snaps Allar or Howard

 

That’s going to be a fun adventure. Camp Howard Vs Camp Allar. Funny thing is one of them will probably be pushed to the practice squad cause a WR ran the wrong route.

 

If you weren’t on the execution squad you would have gotten a clown picture for that for sure

 

And @steelersrule6 finds always a way to blame Roethlisberger like for the 2018 collapse because of his interception in Denver when the loss against the Chargers and the Raiders after that was just a brutal coaching job by Tomlin for different reasons

 

Here I am wrapping up my Top Five Positional Rankings for the 2027 NFL Draft. Thought that the OTs would be the easiest but this upcoming class is proving to be quite the challenge. The other positions are set for the time being though.

 

This coming from a guy who tried to make excuses for Cowher losing two AFCCG to the Patriots on spygate, giving up two special teams TDs you can't blame on spy gate . Do you even understand football that Ben interception was their last play on offense, the Chargers were 12-4 in 2018 and better than the Steelers .
