Steelers - CovidClowns game thread : playoff edition

Well you have LBs covering their best WR so that is scheme

Exactly. And it was something that showed early in the game and never fixed. What works in the 1st half should not work in the 2nd. In HS maybe, not at this level.
 
This defense has the capacity to play a _lot_ better than it played tonight. One might argue that the schemes may have something to do with the bad performance. How many mismatches did we see on pass coverage? Was that the players’ fault or the scheme?

I agree that they have the capacity to play better than they did. I've seen much better from everyone, from top to bottom than what I saw tonight. Everyone except Fitchner.
In any event, I wouldn't mind seeing Tomlin take the Cowher "hiatus". Might be time for a fresh message/messenger. Wouldn't mind seeing Ben retire. It'll hurt for a few seasons, but, this "death by a thousand paper cuts" thing ain't working and if we're being honest, Ben's mistakes have put the team in some crappy positions over the last half of the season.
Start fresh. Top to bottom
 
If that was it for Ben, nice to see it was a TD to Claypool and a final completion to Conner.

ALL 4 QBs ledt in the AFC playoffs are 25 years old or younger. Yeah lets trot out a fat 39 year old QB next ear, that will work.
 
And Franco Harris with guys like Mike Webster blocking for him.

And Chuck Noll as head coach, not Mike Tomlin. If Mike or a 70s doppelgänger ran that team, I don’t think he would have put together that set of players and they wouldn’t have been as effective.

Coaching matters a lot in this game.
 
that shot of ben just sitting there as everyone leaves the field. you know he's thinking it.

..."this is it. i can't do anymore, i've given everything i can for this team, this game....this was it"
