Boy, this thread looks kind of ridiculous now, doesn't it?
when it was posted it seemed right on the money. He could not win a big game in five tries and it looked as though his style was getting stale in Pitt. That was my feeling. Lets face it he got VERY LUCKY this year. The officials were as responsible for the outcome of the SB as anyone this year, it was truly embarrassing for the NFL IMO. He also got lucky to have beaten Indy and not having to face the Pats in the playoffs.
Let's review:Beat #3 seeded team in AFC by 14 points on the road.
Beat #1 seeded team in AFC by 3 points on the road (would have been more if not for fluke fumble with 1:00 left)
Beat #2 seeded team in AFC by 17 points on the road where home team had not lost a game all season and had just beaten last year's SB champs by 14 points
Beat #1 seeded team in the NFC by 11 points.
Yep, sure sounds lucky to me.
