    Yeah I remember. I remember how the killer B never where together very often during the playoffs. I don't seem to recall Ben ever being a MVP Qb though, but nice try. LoL

    I looked that game up and Fred Taylor rushed for 3 TDs and 234 yards on November 19th, 2000. Crazy thing is Steelers only lost 31-21.

    Steelers were wiped out by Jags twice in 2017 and Vikings in 2021. Steelers scored 40 on Jags... but a lot of that was garbage time, mop up crap that didn't matter. Jags had the game won.

    You do know you don't have to have a better record to have a home playoff game right??? I thought you knew football

    Ben and AB were still with the steelers and they were 6th in PPG(4th in yards)but could not make the playoffs and the team were a circus all year long....He would been gone in Philly for sure

    Super Bowls only matter for Tomlin. They don't apply for Belichick. :shrug:

    Good chance Ben will be in the HOF...As example I take Ben and Drew Brees over Cam Newton or Matt Ryan despite that Ryan and Cam had more MVP

    Nice cope bro they still lost by double digits :rolleyes:. In two losses to the Jaguars in 2017 the franchise QB had 7 turnovers combined winning football right there :facepalm:.

    Steelers had a winning season that year at 9-7... when Fred Taylor/Jags racked up all those yards. Shouldn't that count for Cowher like it does for Tomlin? :shrug:

    Ravens were pretty good that year. I think they won the Super Bowl. :shrug:

    The first game,no argument but in the playoffs game,he had also 5 TD and 2 turnovers....Cowher would win this game by 3 score in this situation!

    Just be consistent you want to bash Tomlin for allowing a RB to rush for over 200 yards, but won't bash Cowher for the same thing :rolleyes:.

    Great if that's what I said.
    I Love how You can't answer questions because You know You are wrong, so You change them.
    Did I say HOF, or did I say young MVP??
    LoL. Again I can't remember Ben ever getting a MVP

    Cowher won playoff games. With lesser QBs. So he is forgiven. :smiley1:

    The steelers never face the jaguars in the playoffs under Cowher...In fact the steelers were in the super bowl when the Jaguars were a expansion team

    Different era playing that Marty ball, he also had a losing record in the playoffs until Ben bailed him out with that Super Bowl run in 2005.
