No, that's what you do.

That what idiot Yinzers do.

Rooney's meddling is a theory. You can't prove it. Facts regarding the subject do not exist. Using quotes, and personnel hirings, and play calling is just a mismash of conjecture

Do you not know the difference, it seems weird that you would stubbornly make an argument that could be disproved easily with a dictionary

Rooney fired Arians.

8-8.

It is Rooney's fault there was no flag on the last play.

do you think that fact supports your theory?

Cam Cameron took the Ravens to the playoffs 5 straight years
Took them to 2 AFC championship games
And should've gone to 1 super bowl

They fired him mid season while the were leading the division...

so what?
coaches get fired.

How many times did Arians put a top 10 scoring offense on the field in his tenure? All the other teams with "franchise QBs" were regulars in the top 10, and Arians was always sitting outside with his guy.

It's Rooney's fault Rahim Moore played that pass so horribly

We don't try to score points, we get a 2nd half lead and we try and run the ball.

With new kickoff rules? If you don't force turnovers? When you have to go 75-80 yards for most of your points? This is what happens.

We are too worried about time of possession and "resting" our defense.

oh look, another silly meme you believe, unsupported by facts

you know you can look up passing as a percent of plays called by quarter.

it's not surprising that a "believer" wouldn't bother to do research.

That corner wrapped Crabtree...and had a piece f his jersey...one of the worst non - calls I have ever seen in the Super Bowl!...

Actually, they were playing the Chargers. That was the most confusing end of a game I have ever attended.
