And your "won 6 of the last 8 games" theory cuts both ways. What makes you think the coaches prepared the team any differently in the first 8 games? Evidence?

The team was crushed with injuries in the beginning of the year. They lost their most important lineman a few plays in and had to scrap their blocking scheme. They lost their starting RB beginning of the year. They lost a starting ILB who called the D and had to put a rookie there. There star TE was a shell of himself for the first half. That and Pouncey contributed to Ben playing poorly. We can go on and on.

They played better the second half because replacements and rookies started to get more comfortable with experience.

Even with injuries (every team has them) how do you justify losing to the Raiders, Vikings, and Dolphins? Dolphin loss was at the end of the season.

The dolphins were 8-8 too lol

Just cause they are a Florida team doesn't make Pittsburgh like outer space for them. Clay has some nice plays for them that ultimately won the game.

Raiders and the Vikings were a travesty. Those are winnable games and they dropped the ball. They need to win those games just as bad as they need to not get blown out by New England but **** happens
