I was really disappointed in the way the Steelers played the season after their SB 40 victory. An 8 and 8 season after a Super Bowl victory is shameful.

Shameful????? They lost their head coach and the Bus!!!! What did you expect?

MZ, I am watching the post game on KDKA...Bob Smizak was just commenting on how well Tomlin has held the team together and overcome injury adverity. Tomlin, in his post game, quoted Robert Frost (along way to go before we sleep)...Smizak said, ‘does Cowher even know who Frost is?’. LOL...can’t see BC sitting in a lit class and remembering anything.

They didn’t lose their head coach, well at least Cowher was still getting pay checks. That’s really the problem. Cowher demonstrably was “satisfied” after the SB win and didn’t coach up to his previous levels. And remember, by the end the Bus was mostly there for emotions and 3rd down, he hadn’t been the focus of the run game for a while. I expected Cowher to keep coaching like a coach, I still respect him and I think he did a good job in his tenure, but he phoned in that year. The only reason I don’t think we’d have been better off if he’d retired with The Bus is I don’t know if we’d have gotten Tomlin.
