Sick of hearing about it? Tomlin and the Steelers have to stop being their bitch. Beat their asses for once. Beat them and get to the Super Bowl. Jordan had to get past the Pistons. The 49ers had to beat the Cowboys.
The Killer B's have to beat New England. 3 and outs, Dropped Passes, Defensive breakdowns, and Ben not being his best are not going to cut it.
That said, Mike has done a good job pulling the team together after 2012 and 2013 to make them contenders again. His 2013 coaching job was great, and the team has managed to get further and further each year in the postseason.
But he'll get no more than a B, for being a good coach, but not a great one.
