I have no problem Holmes winning the Super Bowl MVP in 2008, since he was also huge in the last drive, but it's true that if it would've been Manning, Brady, Rodgers or others, they probably would won the super bowl MVP.....
But I don't want to take anything away from Holmes, since he has step up big time in big moment since we must not forget that Hines Ward was playing injured in this game
Its the principals.
That's why I used other players in the had they done the same we ALLLLLLL know they'd be MVP.
Hell last year alone Rodgers was MVP of the season after his first and only perfect passing game, but thank fuck there was still 9 weeks to go in the year.
Interesting article!
The Steelers Are a Super Bowl Contender—If Ben Roethlisberger Is Healthy
https://www.theringer.com/2020/8/13/...nse-bounceback
a few days later....
I think they'll make the playoffs this year if Baker Mayfield isn't awful ... I also believe the Steelers and Ravens are going to be in the playoffs with now 7 teams in each conference making the playoffs.
Last year, I predicted that the Browns could be a disaster because of the crazy offseason hype and they were not ready for that...It was obvious.... This year they have much less hype and also a better head coach (not hard to be better than Freddy Kitchens!) ... The problem of the Browns were not the talent .... It was the lack of maturity, leadership, no head coach and awful QB play .... I believe the Browns learned from last year, but we'll see .... If Baker is still awful, that won't matter too.
Aside from fewer people willing to buy into the hype this time, there isn't much difference this year. Same terrible ownership, same game of hot potato at head coach and GM, and there are still plenty of hot-headed personalities in the locker room. Also there were reports that the FO wants a say in play-calling which is idiotic. The only major difference is a new head coach who may be limited by the idiotic FO, the addition of a 3rd rate TE, and adding some O-line help which is good on it's own but that alone won't solve problems (as evidenced by how little the Browns won with Joe Thomas and Alex Mack)
The Browns are going through the same diva BS the Steelers went through with Bell and AB. I think they may have more than just the 2 making issues though. IF those WRs can just shut up and play football the Browns' offense CAN be very good. The defense is already pretty strong.
I think the division comes down to between the Steelers and Ravens just like pretty much every season. I like our chances better now that we have film on the MVP and the personnel to get after him. Should be fun.
I agree that the two divas WR and some others divas for the Browns could be a major problem, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Browns win 10 games if they play as a team,the focus is at the right place and they let their HC be their HC!.... They have talent so they have no excuse ... Another losing season and it's gonna be another fire sale for them.
Fun fact: Under the new playoff formula, where the 7th seed gets in, Tomlin would have made the playoffs every year except 2009.
So, even at 8-8 we probably get in this year.
His predictions are not bad.
If Ben is very good,they have a shot!
It's another sport but we can see in this video the talents of Cowherd on his analysis and his predictions...
I used to really like listening to Cowherd. He has turned to shit in the last couple years. Wouldn't be surprised if he started calling someone Chris Everett at this point.
Seems like a people who spend great deal of time getting paid to offer opinions on any subject "jump the shark" at some point on their career. It happened to Howard Cosell. He was famous for his opinions but probably felt the need to offer more and more controversial opinions to stay relevant.
Happens in all genres. This wont be a popular opinion here, but when Bill Maher was first on ABC, I thought his show was very good. He had guests that offered a variety of opinions. Maher, himself, started off as more Libertarian than a Liberal, which I suspect maybe he still is. However, now I can't even watch it. Just liberal propaganda for the Micheal Moores' of the world.
Back to Cowherd, he has no relevance. He just offers offers up whatever will cause the biggest stir.
If the Steelers Defense is lights out again in 2020, they have a shot to win 10+ games.
If the Defense regresses to just average, the Steelers are 8-8 and struggling for a postseason spot again.
