Patsies won the 2001 playoff game off special teams. The defense gave up 10 points.
In 2004, during the regular season, the Steelers mauled the Patsies, and picked Brady twice. The 2004 playoff, game, the Patsies took advantage of a rookie QB who struggled the first playoff game and threw 2 very, very, very bad interceptions in the championship game. Still, that team rallied like hell in the 2nd half and got to within 38-27 by outscoring the Patsies 24-14. Do you think a Tomlin team would face a 24-3 deficit, and wind up battling back and making a game of it?? Get real.
2005, the Patsies threw their last regular season game to avoid playing Cowher's Steelers. Don't believe me? Belichick had Flutie drop kick a ******* extra point, and he had his 3rd string QB play the 4th quarter.
So that sums up Cowher and the Patsies. 0-2 in the playoffs, where his defense dominated in 2001, and his QB threw two disastrous picks but his team still rallied back, and where his team simply punched the Patsies in the face during the regular season and where Belichick all but forfeited a game to avoid the Steelers in the playoffs.
