And the playoff game? I will get killed for this and called an apologist, but I think we have been over and over how many players were not available for that game.
I'm not against any strategy different from the status quo to get them more prepared for primetime games, but I will reserve any further criticism on this matter until I see it this year.
There were plenty of players missing on offense against the Colts, so why did the defense suck? Yet another coincidental primetime game that the team didn't show up for I guess.
Your last sentence reminds me of many others on here. I've been hearing "don't sleep on Marvin!" by the same people for 5+ years. I've been hearing "well, I know X happened in the past, but I'll reserve criticism until I see it happen some more", even though it has been the same pattern and same conclusion for over a decade. I mean, how much more do you really need to see? Why do you need yet another year of primetime futility before you can acknowledge the magnitude of the issue?
With a fanbase like this, I'm not surprised a guy like Marvin Lewis has stuck around for over a decade.
Also, your bias is REALLY showing when you constantly complain about how the Steelers play football. A.J. fumbled before taking the second shot, and he was falling and didn't seem like the defender intentionally targeted his head. If you're going to complain about any play of that game, how about when Reggie took out Le'Veon Bell's knee??? That was the dirtiest hit in the game, but of course you just cry about the Steelers because that's par for the course with you.
