Early in the season is when we dominated TOP if I remember correctly. From mid-year on it seemed like we struggled to even get a first down.
Yup, but don't deal with the truth. Not to mention, they did tons of 1st and 2nd down rush plays, plus a lot of bubble screens. Those keep the clock running.
lloydroid said "Maybe he was trying to say they are a decent D but not a great D....but that's not what he said."
Yeah! Usually when they say it's a bend but don't break D they are really saying the D is not so good but somehow??? it manages to get away with it. It is sort of what they call a left handed or negative compliment.
I must agree with you on this one lloyd TS D is more break than bend. Two or three times in the past half dozen years they were #1 in Pass D. I am not so sure that getting a few minutes more rest than some of the other D's in the league is really the primary reason for this.
Even though some struggle to grasp this obvious point, being the #1 D in yards allowed is the exact opposite of being a bend but don't break D. It's is powerfully obvious and yet some of the less-swift posters can't even comprehend it.

the stats are skewed. If anything Stephen A is correct. Our offense was a turnover machine. how many times did we fumble or throw a pick on our side of the 50? With all the turnovers we had, we should have been last in scoring, but we weren't
SAS said Pgh was a "bend but not break D." Pgh had the #1 D in yardage allowed, which is the exact opposite of "bend but don't break." Giving up less yards than ANY OTHER D IN THE NFL means they do LESS BENDING THAN ANY OTHER D. How much more simple can it get?
I thought it was great entertainment. I dont think Sherman sounded unintelligent.. he just trash talked a trash talker. If you google it everyone is saying Skip got roasted or a taste of his own medicine.
Sherman came off as an a$$. No wonder this kid is known as nothing but a trash talker. This kid can barely string a sentence together. He thinks he is going to be the best CB in the history of the game. Whatever, idiot.
