The Xmas prediction would be great, but if Pickens doesn't play for Pittsburgh I don't see them scoring enough.
Also, Tomlin is the perfect coach to play right into the KC game conservative approach that every team does and loses by 3 at the buzzer.
Yep. We always have great regular season records. But the recurring issues from past playoff failures is recurring too often to not realize it's still a problem and will hold us back again. If Allen doesn't go super nova we are in trouble.
Yes, the bar is very high. When you have arguably the best QB in the league and can't get out of the divisional round due to defense and coaching the leash for tolerance is short.
I am sure they are thrilled with their 3 SB wins in the last 5 years and their upcoming 3peat. Our defense and coaching staff's seeming inability to get the team ready on a consistent basis is a legitimate concern and not just hating.
All of this points to the mental make up of the team and coaching/prep. They clearly can beat the best teams. But we have seen them with sluggish sleep walking games too many times.
