I don't believe I ever stand up for the PIrates, just pay some attention to them like you slow down to look at a car wreck.
Didn’t say they don’t matter but without the other parts they don’t automatically make a team a Super Bowl contender. As I said they increase the margin for error (ie they have a significant affect) but the Steelers with Mahomes would still be an after thought for the Super Bowl as they now stand
I said in one of the threads whatever happened to blitzburg.? The Steelers have become as conservative on defense as they have on offense. That’s on MM who is supposed to be a defensive master mind
His “keep the lid on” no risk/live in their fears defensive football philosophy is aligned with his “protect the football” live in their fears offensive philosophy. I’ve been on this overpaid big nasty defense for years. It’s embarrassing. They live off the LeBeau years. When Dick left and Tomlin took over the defense, what happened? They became a defense that when they play renegade in the stadium, the other teams offense drives 90 yards for a 4th quarter TD more often than the team getting a big defensive stand.
Add Denver Peyton Manning to that list, Plunket wasn't elite, how about Jim McMahon, Jeff Hostetler anyone, Nick Foles was already mentioned. Is Flacco elite? And Russell Wilson didn't do all that much without the Legion of Boom. So it happens more than we think.
Here's the thing, as long as the owner is more aligned with the coach than trying to win a championship, nothing changes. Dan when he hired Tomlin, forced him to keep guys like Lebeau and Arians around. Art II has given Tomlin full control of the franchise without seemingly accountability. At this point, Art II doesn't want to be the first Steelers owner to fire a coach in over 55 years. But he could demand of Tomlin to clean house and have final approval of who he hires and increase the size of his staff. But he is alot like Bob Nutting, seemingly satisfied to make money and being slight north of average. So we can all bitch about Tomlin, but if the boss doesn't think he is doing a bad job, the only way you can voice your displeasure is make a Steelers/Bengals game look like a Pitt/Youngstown State game. Sea of yellow.
I agree - but also an example of why bringing a qb along slowly is a better idea !
LOL, Embarassed??? On an anonymous message board, having discourse with an idiot??
Outside of the 1994 AFC Championship game, I don't Cowher's teams underachieved much at all. Even if they beat the Chargers that year, they would've been the underdog in the SB. I agree Spygate changed the outcome of some of those games. Anyone disagrees has never heard of the phrase "Scout Team All American." My view really changed on the matter when DJ Williams described playing for Josh McDaniels.
All of that, and "the standard" will be headed to the Hall of Fame in the end.
You seem like the weak minded minion that could get catfished to hurt yourself. You’re not the sharpest knife in the kitchen drawer just by virtue you couldn’t keep up with a simple thread. And then the obligatory name calling because your feelings got hurt. I hope you have some Midol.
If you think art and the owners answer to the HC
Always best to listen to the expert of menstrual cramps !
And you being a "pharmacist" would fit that expert label in that area more than anyone on this board. But maybe your just not a good "pharmacist" and by virtue of both of you Darwin nominees posts, not being good at something is par for the course.
It’s both and Tomlin controls the D and play calling. Offense is predictable and nothing changes. Tomlin lives in his fears of turnovers in the passing game. The standard is the standard = mediocrity. Philosophy has to change with the times.
