You know, the next time Whisenhunt or anyone else from the 2004 Steelers questions how the Patriots were able to throttle them in the playoffs that year, I wish someone would ask why the Steelers struggled so much with the Jets the week before.
It's not like they crushed the Jets and then were inexplicably shut down by NE. Pittsburgh only scored 20 points and was extremely lucky to defeat NY in the divisional round. It stands to reason that if the Jets gave Pittsburgh trouble in the playoffs, a better team (the Patriots) might cause even bigger problems for the Steelers.
Of course, acknowledging all the circumstances leading into that game would hurt the "we wuz cheated" defense, so it will probably never come up in an interview.
Preach on, Brother Koma! You'd get a +1 if they hadn't taken that thing away.
