Well, if your theory holds, Pittsburgh must have the greatest collection of talent in the history of pro football. If Cowher and his staff are such morons, how do you explain the Steelers' record this year? How does a team almost go undefeated with a coaching staff that wouldn't stand up at your local high school? As in every other sport, the coach gets too much credit for wins or losses. Well, maybe Martz is the exception. I really don't know how he still has a job.
As for "no answers defensively", wasn't Pitt ranked either 1st or 2nd this season defensively in the entire NFL? What happened between the end of the season and now - did the players forget what to do? Did Cowher just show up with a lame game plan?
It is pretty easy to criticize anybody that is down big in the first half. I don't think Pitt or Cowher are that bad. But since you are apparently somewhat of the "answer man" in this area, what would you have done if you were the Falcons' Mora today? Did he also do a putrid coaching job? Or was Philly just a better team?
