BTW I commented about our recent playoff teams in another thread a while back. I pointed out that of the 7 losses I really did not expect to win may of them.
'05. Expected to win until Carson went down. Qick switch to "hope"
'09. Expected to win because that season had been full of magic. But looking back with some perspective our offense sucked the entire second half of the season.
'11. Excited to be there. Did not expect to beat the Texans who had the #2 rush offense and the #2 overall defense.
'12. Texans were 12-4. Both their offense and defense ranked #7 in total yards. Thye were a 4 point favorite playing at home. But that was the year we played so well over the second half of the season while the Texans had slumped at the end. So I expected us to win that game.
'13. Worst playoff loss of Marvin era. No way we should have lost that game at home. We had the #6 scoring offense and #5 scoring defense. we had beaten San Diego on their own field just a few weeks earlier.
'14. That team was crippled with injuries. AJ Green and Marvin Jones were out at WR. Both Gresham and Eifert were out at TE (Some guy named Kevin Brock started at TE). Andre Smith was out at RT. I can not say that I honestly expected us to win that game with Rex Burkehead starting at WR.
'15. With Dalton out I don't know if I really "expected" us to beta the Steelers.
