The late college and NFL head coach John McKay was once asked about his team’s execution and he said, “I’m in favor of it.” The 2015 Pittsburgh Steelers are not exactly the mid-70’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers but after yesterday’s loss in Baltimore the similarities are painfully clear.
The never-ending debate about this team is whether or not the team’s success or lack thereof is due to the coaching or the players’ execution. Unless you know the inner workings of the team intimately then it can be very hard to tell.
What I saw in the Steelers’ loss to the Ravens Sunday was a combination of both and it really never had to be this way.
