Agreed on your assessment of Tomlin. He needs to hire better coaches under him.

Prediction? Steelers have won 24 straight home games on Monday Night. Houston has also never won a playoff road game (0-6 all-time as a franchise).

That history should loom large. Both defenses should have a field day. I predict a low scoring affair. First team to 20 wins.

Take the 3 1/2, should be in the 20’s by game time. Houston played 12 games in a dome this year.

Odds have dropped to 3.

Btw, I found my old Steelers Jersey (12)
If Steelers end up playing the Bills, I'll wear that to hack off ECG's posse.

Exactly. It’s that way in every professional league. The major ones anyways. Mediocre or bad teams can make the playoffs. That’s why Tomlin gets trucked in the first round.

[jayzee43]

In the NHL and NBA it's even worse. More than half the teams in the league make the playoffs. And they fucking drag on for nearly 3 months.

NFL still has the best playoff format.

I was wearing my Pittsburg Jersey.
YouTube has a decent highlights clip.

The Steelers last five playoff losses have all come by double-digits.

They are the first team in NFL history to lose five straight playoff games by double-digits.

They are who we thought they were.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Time for Tomlin to go to Rooney and say I’m out. It would be good for the franchise.

... Let me surely mention that I am NOT a candidate for
the vacant Steelers Coaching position.

... I wouldn't want the job anyway - as they won't give the Coach
enough control on getting or retaining players. ... They got
Omar Kahan for that... And he (and Tomlin) has a rather sad
tendency to OVER-value their playing talent. ...

... 'Course I might re-considour me decision on this - IF -
I was allowed to find and surely bring-back Bill Cowher's
players for another go. ...

... If Coach Tomlim could WIN with Cowher's players, then maybe
Coach Salty could do the same! ... ...
