I watch "The War at Home" so you don't have to -- Cowher moment

To those of you checking in to see exactly what you missed on The War at Home last night, I'm going to channel my inner head football coach.

If you watched the Pittsburgh Steelers' 28-17 victory over Miami on Thursday, chances are you noted how awful the Steelers' punt coverage and return teams were. You don't need a Ph.D. in football to be able to say, "Yeah, the Steelers sure did suck on special teams."

But in the post-game press conference, when asked about said special teams, Pittsburgh head coach Bill Cowher blew off the question saying this, essentially:

Until I look at the film, I can't speak confidently on what went wrong with special teams tonight. (He then added in typical sports-cliche understatement) We gave them a return to our own 15-yard line, and you just can't do that...

Right.

Well. Like Cowher, I watched a train wreck happen right in front of me on Sunday at 9:30 p.m. And like Cowher, I'm going to hold off on making comments until I review my tape of the season opener of The War at Home again tonight.
