ugh in the past 2 years i can name you two titles that were far more fishy.......
Tampa Bay beating Calgary in 2005 (Game 6 namely).....the most lopsidely called game ive ever seen
Miami beating Dallas for the title in June. Every time Wade was breathed on a foul was called.
To me it is obvious that Cowher is gone after this season. He just doesn't have the passion this year I have seen in his previous years. I don't know if it's the sense of fulfillment after winning a ring, if he realizes how much time he has missed with his wife and daughters, or what it is. But he is definitely not the same fiery, spit-slinging Cowher I have seen in previous years.
Batch definitely should have started. Big Ben shouldn't be put on IR like some say IMO, but the week after a concussion, let Batch play against the sorry Raiders. If it is the Ravens, Broncos, or Bengals, then you let him play. But not against a team where all you need is a QB that doesnt make mistakes, which is what Chaz Batch is now.
I wish Cowher the best after he leaves to coach NC State next year. I do not think he is a college coach, and really think he could pull a Woody Hayes Gator Bowl stunt at some point, but the best to him. He has been great in Pittsburgh and although he only won one title, he took subpar offenses to AFC Championship games 3 different times. BOL in your future endeavors Bill, whatever they may be.

Hard to imagine the Jaw coaching college kids, but hey if Bobby Knight can do it so can he.
Maybe if he loses his governor's race they can get Lynn Swann to coach, haha. The Steelers have been laying the foundations not to be the same team they have been in the past using a lot more passing offense. Maybe they should, 89 yards rushing against the Raiders following up 55 yards against the Falcons? That alone probably makes Coach want to get out.
Still hard to keep a coach who always defaults to the run with what they have to work with there.
Steelers dont have a 'go to' back...Parker is NOT the answer , this was very obvious ...and I can see Hines' point, Cowher does seem to be much looser this season...the tone to this whole season was set back when Ben had his crash...combine that with coming off a SB season and this is not that unusual.
