Stoney's He-Man Steeler Haters NFL Playoff Thread ... No Yinzers allowed

A coverage scheme that has an LB trying to keep up with Hilton = terrible idea.

 

Fumble/FG big for the Bengals. Don't want to let this one get so far from them that Dalton needs to pass.

 

Marvin Lewis, good coach. 12 years with 1 team only 3 losing seasons.
Marvin Lewis, bad coach. 12 years with 1 team, no division titles and no playoff wins.

Mike Brown, best boss?
Mike Brown, dumb bastard?

Schottenheimer was run out of 3 jobs being more successful than Lewis.

 

I don't think Lewis is as good as Schottenheimer, but he probably has the same issue - He can get a team to .500 or slightly better, but no better than that. If you're the Bengals, and basically were just shoveling shit between the Super Bowl team and his hiring, I can see why he's lasted a dozen years there.

 

Lewis is like a decent starting QB. Not a lot of hope in getting better, but they can do a hell of a lot worse.

 

First team to make the playoffs four years in a row and lose their opener every time.

 

Won the division in 2013.

 

How many people are going to blame Romo for the running-into-the-kicker penalty that led to a 99.5-yard touchdown drive?

 

Dallas defense being exposed for what it is -- just a bunch of guys. It's been successful this season because the offense has controlled the ball and kept the D off the field. When the defense has to play for extended periods, its many flaws (most notably, its poor pass coverage) become very apparent.

 

Yes. My error. Lost at home to SD.

 

Romo is getting his ass kicked badly. Pretty sure I know who's winning that hyped matchup between the Dallas OL and the Detroit DL.

 

Detroit hasn't won a playoff game since 1991? I didn't realize Tony Romo has been around that long
