Can somebody tell me WHAT THE HELL Bill Cowher was thinking Monday night when he opened up the start of the 3rd quarter with an onsides kick, ESPECIALLY when his team was only down 16-7 versus the best offense in football?
In my opinion, this was TRULY one of the worst calls I have seen all year and probably in the last few years. Cowher basically was saying that he had ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE at all that his team could win this game. I may be overreacting but I call it a PATHETIC, DESPERATE, MORONIC, GUTLESS decision and I hope he took his team out of the playoffs with that call. He should have been given a skirt instead of a team ball afterwards!
YOU CANNOT MAKE A DECISION LIKE THIS DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF THE COLTS RETRIEVE THE KICK LIKE THEY DID AND SCORE A TD LIKE THEY DID, THE GAME ENDS RIGHT THERE…..Game Over right after that kick was made… WHAT A DISGRACE!
Now you may be thinking that I'm just upset because maybe I played the Steelers last night, but that’s not the case,…well not entirely, I cant lie, I did have the Steelers but AT LEAST GIVE YOUR TEAM A CHANCE, AN OPPORTUNITY to compete throughout the second half, that’s a lot of football left.
In addition, The Steelers being down 16-7 at halftime wasn’t truly indicative of how the game was moving. The colts came right out and scored a TD, then went up 10-0 with a field goal. The Steelers scored a TD making it 10-7, BUT lets not forget:
1) The Steelers missed a chippie FG which may have made the game even closer2) THE WORST PART, is that Indy didn’t even score another TD the entire half until Ben Roethlisberger's last minute INT that Indy turned into a TD with seconds left.
Like I said…the game was CLOSE! It was a 6 point game until the Roethlisberger INT at the end of the half. HOW does that make a guy like COWHER think to himself that he has to do something dramatic like an onsides kick or he has no chance to win?
I am not just saying this but if I owned the Steelers, I would not only fire him but I would make sure he was demoted to Head Coach of the Taxi Squad each week! Either that or Head Coach of womens field hockey! OH WAIT!!! I almost forgot…After the kick is caught by Indy and they score right away…BILL COWHER with his game face that he always has on, was worse than ever…His normal spitting routine got out of control. I could have sworn that he had enough spit on his face to fill a cup of water…I couldn’t even watch, it was almost like he got the Gatorade jug poured over his head but with water instead. Ok back to my point.
I Know I keep repeating myself but to make matters worse later in the game Pitt is down 23-10 with almost 12 minutes left and Cowher decides to go for it on 4th and 5? Ok I can understand this decision MAYBE but I personally think he screwed up again!!! We are not talking 4th and inches or 4th and 1 or 2...BUT ITS 4th and 5!!….If he kicks the field goal, the score would have been 23-13 and yes, still a long way from winning, but by going for it, they now needed 2 TD's versus a TD and FG for the tie. I can sit here all day and play the "if he did this, if I did that " game but all Im saying is I was in shock and I can’t believe that others arent making a big deal about this as I am.
Ohhhh, and lets not forget that the 3 teams battling it out with Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Cincy and San Diego all WON!! GOOD MOVE BILL….Losing to the Colts is nothing to be ashamed about but you made a statement to the other teams in the league that you think your team cant win versus the big boys.
