    Thanks armpit. You are correct sir.

    Injuries, shminjuries. People gotta be ready to step up. If not, you suck (see Steelers, Pittsburgh last year without Aaron Smith...and we still had a chance to move on save for missed holding calls).
    I understand that BUT the number of injuries Shannahan has dealt with this year outnumbers the one Aaron Smith injury last year, which although impactful, it was one guy on a defense that never should have given up 30+ to the crapy Jags offense.

      He lost 33-19 to the Chiefs, who have only won one other game all season.

      He lost 31-10 to the Raiders, who have only won two others games all season.

      He also lost 24-17 to the 4-8 Jaguars, 41-7 to the 7-5 Patriots, and 26-17 to the 7-5 Dolphins. Three of their losses came at home.

      They are 7-5 in possibly the worst division in football (with only the NFC West in the discussion). Whoop-de-doo.

      Even though they will make the playoff for winning that awful division, they will be the weakest team in the AFC field. They actually have a losing record in the conference right now (4-5) and are only .500 in their sorry division (2-2). The Titans, Steelers, Jets, Colts, Ravens, Patriots, and Dolphins are all better teams that they are, in my opinion, and only 5 of those 7 will be able to make the playoffs because the sucky Broncos get a spot automatically for winning the pathetic AFC West.

      Not to mention that one of their games was handed to them on a silver platter by Ed Hochuli early in the season. That was an obvious fumble by Cutler and an recovery by the Chargers which would have clinched the game for San Diego. Even the league has admitted that game changing horrendously blown call. If not for that, Denver would be a .500 team right now with a conference record of 3-6 and a division record of 1-3 with losses to all 3 teams in their lousy division. No thanks.
      AFC North isn't much better than the AFC West. Yes, the Broncos may be just 4-5 in teh conference but look at the Steelers record outside getting 4 free wins from the Browns and Bengals as well as 1 from Joe Flacco fumbling it away...4-3. Not too impressive either. With all the injuries Shannahan has had to deal with this year, to get that team to the playoffs is impressive enough to get my vote for Coach of the Year.
      The "4 free wins" from the Browns and Bengals? We have done what we needed to do there.

      On the other hand, how did the Broncos do with their "4 free wins" from the Chiefs and Raiders?

      1-2 so far? Case closed. Shanahan is not even in the coach of the year conversation.

      I would vote for one of the rookie H.C.'s like Mike Smith, Tony Sparano, or John Harbaugh over Shanahan in a second.
      Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

      Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

      We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

      We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

        Chiefs and Raiderss are better than the Browns and Bengals. Especially when you have to go to KC...doesn't matter how bad the Chiefs are...they will give ANYONE a game iN Arrowhead more times than not.

          Chiefs are better than the Browns?? Are you kidding me? They may not even be better than the Bengals, and they are just horrible. Browns are also better than the Raiders too, not even a question.
