Dick LeBeau fired by Steelers. Was this expected?

All I see is that he is resigning his position and not retiring.

I think it may be time for a change but Dick LeBeau's football resume is ridiculous. HOF playing career and a HOF coach IMO. 56 consecutive NFL seasons...

I wish him the best....he's an icon

Resigning is essentially the organization giving you the respect to not fire you. Hard to imagine you don't retire at age 77!!

Say what you want about Flacco, but the dude fucking performs when it matters most. And thats all that really matters.

You have to perform in the regular season to get to the games that matter most. Which is why Baltimore wasn't there last year. I'd say that kind of matters, too.

Costly looking taunting penalty against the Ravens giving them a 1st down outside the 15 instead of a 1st down inside the 1, proved to be practically no impediment at all, as they scored the next play on a swing pass.

Yeah. He has only missed the playoffs once in 7 years. Completely unacceptable.

It's a law the Ravens always show up in the playoffs.

That's a huge penalty. Huge. Pats basically win if they score there, the way the game is going.

True. 17 to 1 is still pretty good.

Great throw by Brady. Modern receivers have to catch with one hand while the other one is being grabbed by the defender or being used to ward off the defender.

Not a good risk to return from that deep in the EZ. High probability that you will not make it to the 20, fumble, or get a penalty.

Depends. Sometimes, you can get more space than you would on one taken at the 3 or so. Too bad it came back, because it was a decent return.

Not today Flacco. Deep ball seemed to be a little off all game from what I've seen

Bad throw by Flacco, but what the hell was Smith doing? He should've just knocked the ball away instead of hitting the DB.

Flacco snookered by the safety. The strong armed Flacco should have zipped it on a line instead of lofting it out there like the safety wasn't in the play.

Thought the same myself...He didnt even attempt to make a play on the ball.

Gonna at least get a hail mary. We've seen crazier things happen.
