    True

    In the 2008 America's Game, Ben said he was told to dial it back and just not lose the game after midseason home losses to the Giants (4 INTs) and Colts (3 INTs).

    That might work again, assuming the Steelers can get next day delivery of 2008 model replicants of Troy and Deebo.

    Ben was still a pup in 2008. I'm not sure it would work telling him that now.

    Probably so - my guess is the conversation was not just held with coaches but vets such as Farrior also "shared their views" - no player with that clout these days

    Tomlin can "retire," immediately get hired by the Colts, then give interviews that the Steelers betrayed him - worked for Arians
