Aside from all of this, I really thought Brees did good stuff off the field re: hurricane Katrina. And thinking that he isn't as good as Ben...
As always QBs are much more important than HCs. Even for very good HCs. Especially for mediocre HCs like Whiz.
We agree on the bold part. But you seem to be arguing that this made Brees more "dominant". Really it made him more "consistent"...which he...
FWIW, contrary to popular belief I think it's OK to admit when you're wrong on the internet. I just did it twice on the site because Steelers43...
Thanks! I thought we were down by 4. If I thought it through, I would have seen that didn't make sense becuase the Cardinals needed a TD to win...
So you don't think they would have been able to play 3rd down if Holmes doesn't make that catch? Even in the CFL, you get 3rd down. :drinks:
Me too. I think we should have started rolling the dice on rebuild(s) a while ago. But it seems pretty clear that Rooney isn't in the same camp...
This is what we did with Cowher and Tomlin (I assume not Noll, but I wasn't watching football at that time). I assumed that it was what we'd do...
Needed Tomlin as a HC, obviously [IMG]
The bold part is not true. Not sure if you remember this, but that throw to Holmes was on 2nd down. So what happens if Santonio doesn't make...
Don't think there's necessarily a huge difference. And you'd obviously be happy with either. But to me Ben's clearly the better QB. If you were...
I think my thinking here has changed. In the Blitzburgh days, I was more about getting high-floor guys. But I think in today's NFL, it's mostly...
I don't disagree with you on any of this. And even Harmon is young. Although I won't be upset if we can get Benton on a team-friendly extension....
I think there are two (maybe three?) main things that kept us away from another SB win. Especially post-GB loss where we didn't have much playoff...
Thanks for the correction on Faneca! In my head, I think I always connect him and Dawson for some reason. I think when I made the list, I wrote...
Joel, go back and read the post your quoting. It wasn't talking about the 2005 Steelers. Do you not count Cowher's first trip to a SB since most...
I think the other two best teams in the AFC at this time were the Pats and the Colts. All three of these teams won a SB after Ben was drafted...
How many "dominant" teams do people think can be in the league at the same time?
Here's a some guys drafted before Cowher was the HC. There are probably more. Woodson Dawson [Faneca] Faneca was drafted after Cowher was hired....
This. We were a good to very good team in a conference with other good to very good teams. I don't think we were the best of the teams in the...
