I am one of those guys who think coaches often get too much credit for wins and too much blame for losses. Almost every coach has a down season when he does not have talent.
But last years Monday Night game against Pittsburgh was a classic example of coaches winning a game. The Steelers came into that game winless (0-3) with no running game (64 yds/gm) and QB Mason Rudolph making just his second career NFL start. But Pittsburgh coaches used Jaylen Samuels in a wildcat formation and our defensive coaches were helpless to stop them. Many of us saw that as a "winnable game" but they curb stomped us 27-3.
I agree that this year the Steelers are not really as good as their 8-0 record would suggest, but they are still a damn good team. In the NFL any team can beat another "on any given Sunday", but I don't see us having much of a chance this week.
