As a devout and life long Steeler fan, it pains me to say this. It is time to show Bill Cowher the door. It is starting to look like he has lost control of this team. It is starting to look like the NFL is passing him by. His old school style no longer works in a new school NFL. He can not make changes to his gameplan during a game, and that is the name of the play calling game in the NFL. It is hard to sit and watch Cowher stand and smirk with his arms crossed as the Steelers continually get out played, and most of all out coached coming off a Super Bowl win.
The Steelers are no longer the hard hitting, great morals, blue collar team they were before their fifth Super Bowl win. It is a joke that the city of Pittsburgh still supports this man as a head coach. Now don't get me wrong, WAS a great coach, but that is now the past. He is showing he can't handle a team coming off of a Super Bowl, or adjust to how teams play them. This is a new NFL and Cowher is an old coach. They even made a bad first round pick with Santonio Holmes, which is rare. Holmes lacks NFL playmaker talent, and has some off the field issues as well. They should have picked Chad Jackson, or Laurence Maroney who would have given them the big back they need. And they also missed T.J. Duckett when they could have traded him for a fifth round pick. The Steelers got caught up in their own hype. But overall its all good, they can draft a quarterback with next years top ten pick. Ben was never really that good, and got hot for three lucky games last year. He had a rating of 22 in the Super Bowl. This Bum is being exposed by and average team, for the average quarterback he is. Did someone say Charlie Batch?
