during the regular season, sure. But come playoff time, as you pointed out earlier, our D gets exposed. This year, mediocre QBs (we haven't played a great one yet apart from Jackson) have beaten us, and middling RBs have run all over us.
how much of this is because we play in the AFC East which was pretty barren over that time span. Also, our D collapses in the playoffs. Our "bend and don't break" structure does not work against top QBs, and this year does not work against mediocre QBs.
Yeah, coaches way to stubborn for much of this, but I like most of the suggestions. However, Larry O being a great savior is way overstated. Steelers couldn't wait to see him gone. I'm not sure he is much more than a JAG at best. I'd also add, we need to trade for a safety at least. Poyer or Rapp and Bishop strike fear into no one. Literally we could trade with some colleges and likely improve.
