OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Doritos Bowl Match Up - Taylor Swift vs San Andreas Fault

[mynameisnick4]

Honestly. These playoffs will have only emboldened Tomlin’s philosophy.

KC is going to the SB after scoring 17 points in the conference championship game and has leaned on thier running game and defense all season.

And the four teams that are in the conference championship games were ranked 3,4,5 & 8th in YPC.

Don’t get me wrong. They still have Mahomes. But this season and playoffs is especially because of thier defense.

A philosophy based solely on the other team melting down and playing terrible? You know now that I think about it, that pretty much was the Steelers path to wins this season. You may be right.

Everyone ready for all the "IS TAYLOR SWIFT GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE SUPER BOWL IN TIME??!??!?!??!" talk the next two weeks. It's going to be so much fun.

Lamar is very overrated

I don't think that he is overrated. However, he will not age well. When the wheels go he becomes average at best.

 

[Andy99]

Come on Detroit

The Lions, 49ers, and Chiefs were #2, #4, and #6 respectively in passing yards, though. Ravens were #21, but are obviously a little bit unique with Jackson.

The take away should be that you need balance because a) you need to be unpredictable and b) you never know what you're going to have to lean on to win any specific game.

Yes he is !!! KC contained him & made him beat them with his arm & showed again he can't do it

Hopefully the Steelers were planning on interviewing someone off this Lions offensive staff once the playoffs end because they're putting on a clinic right now.

If things hold up, the Super Bowl could end up a rematch of the first game of the season, hopefully with the same result.

 

[Peat]

The thing about Smith isn't that he's a bad OC, it's that his work has been done in an offensive style that I consider to be low ceiling in this NFL. I don't want to be the next team to try and see whether having the league's best rushing offence and an average passing offence makes for a SB winner. I don't like the odds of that. It's probably going to win a bunch of regular season games, but to me that's a very mixed blessing. I'd rather support an up and down team than a team that is just stuck in the middle with false hope and no real chance of making it a real game against a real team.

I.e. Now.

We need a balanced offense that can run and pass... as someone said above. Look at Detroit passing attack and look what they switched to when 49ers tried taking away the pass.

If that were us... we'd do the same thing over and over like run into a stacked line while our players ask the coaches, "Uh, you know they are stacking the line and this will never work..."

 

[Andy99]

Detroit is blowing this…I’m bummed

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Being on the West Coast... i've seen enough of Kyle S's Offense to know it's going to make a push some time during the game.

Maybe we can trade for him if they blow it : )

 

[mynameisnick4]

In the end, same old Lions.

 

[Andy99]

In the end, same old Lions.

Their receivers couldn’t catch a cold…awful…although Goffns throwing behind them a lot…still

 

[Shaftception]

Uh...so I just came back to the game, what the hell happened? Forget what I said earlier I guess, getting shut out the second half, what a choke this is looking like.

And the 49ers just put it in the endzone again, yikes. Back to hoping we pull from the shanahan tree again I guess.

 

[mynameisnick4]

Chiefs vs 49ers has to be up there on the list of terrible super bowls for neutral fans. The 49ers haven't won in like 20 years but still....

 

[TNT87]

Absolutely awful coaching decisions by Campbell. What a choke job.

 

[OnMyOwn]

So I guess I’ll root for KC. I’ve never cared for the 49ers.

I might not watch.

The Taylor Swift obsession alone will make it insufferable.

 

[xlm34]

I’d be sick if I rooted for the Lions. What an absolute disaster class in the second half.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

Campbell should have called Bill Cowher at halftime and talked about how to close out a game.

 

[pistolpete11]

Felt like that game turned on the first 4th down the Lions went for it. They were still up 14. Just take the points. Sometimes it's the right decision to live in your fears.

Well if Cower has answers to that issue, Mike Sullivan needs to call Cower immediately.

Cowher was 108-1-1 when leading by more than 10 points in a game.

I love how both of current Penguins and Steelers coaches need to just call other coaches who knew what they were doing...

They could learn about walking away gracefully like Cowher did...

Bingo.

 

[TNT87]

I was looking at some Lion fan sites and I guess Cameron Sutton stunk for them this season.
