Post Season "Piling On" - Neil O'Donnell is Called Out

[Who Dee Knee]

Fuck NOD. That was the first year my father got me into Steelers football. Devastating. At least we had some glory days before Art 2 took over.

Well, you’re lucky you don’t remember the 1994 season. The Steelers lost the AFC Championship Game at home to the Chargers 20-16, in a game they largely controlled. I always thought that if the Steelers had played the Chargers ten times, that the Steelers would have won eight or nine of those games. Neil choked in that game also, panicking on fourth and goal on the Chargers 3 with about a minute left. John L. Williams was open for a TD on the play.

The 94 AFCCG, is still in my estimation, the worst loss in steeler history. Dennis fuckin Gibson. Ugh

For me, that was the worst loss I can think of. Effing #24 Tim McKyer biting on that damn play when Woodson Blitzed. They got his Punk Ass to do a job he FAILED on!! I believe that Steelers team could've beat the Niners.

I've told this story here before. I knew Charles Johnson personally. I saw him a few days after the game and asked him what happened. He told me NOD just panicked when he heard footsteps and just chucked it up. Charles told me if he would have just stood in there for another 2 secs, Corey Holliday's route was an out & up (we called it running the chair play) and he was streaking all alone down the sideline (for a TD) as Larry Brown bit on that play

He also told me Lloyd & Greene were so PO'd, they didn't take off their unis after game. Just grabbed their crap out of their lockers and bounced out. They wanted to beat NOD's ass.

I always thought that game was fishy. The look on his face when he missed that throw to win the playoff game against San Diego pissed me off too. It was like oh shucks, better like next time. He wasn't bothered by any of those throws.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

I'm sure O'Donnell is deeply wounded by these accusations from people who routine shank it off the first tee at Meadowink.

[Jobu]

Define bad teammate. I’m sure it’s different for everyone. I bet we could find several former Steelers that believes ole Peezy was a poor teammate. But they aren’t going on podcasts or TV or radio shows throwing him under the bus to stay relevant. And it’s certainly not out of fear. Porter has always come across to me as one of those fake tough guys. The guy that runs his mouth and acts all tough as long as there is someone or something standing between him and an ass kicking.

The one time we know of that he got into a physical altercation with a NFL player, it was Levi Jones and he and his posse jumped him. I think there was video, but it was along time ago.

But I think this was the wrong thread.

I was too young at that time for it to have an impact/be remembered. Before my fandom to be blunt.

But I just can't see the Steelers beating the 49er's, anyway. Would have been a more interesting match-up, but that was the one year where they surrounded Steve Young with so much talent that he couldn't fuck things up even if he tried. They bought that Super Bowl in the off-season when it was still possible to do that. I get that some like Gojira disagree, but I just can't see it what I know about those two teams.

Of the AFCCG's Cowher lost, I'd say that one is the least significant. Big upside, but they had maybe the worst chance of any of those teams of actually cashing in.

Yes buuuuuut,,,,, had they made it to the SB in 94 (even if they lost) I’m pretty certain they would have been much better in the 1st half vs the Cowboys in 95.

That experience would have mattered.

Oops! Yep, you’re right. I got the wrong “stabbed in the back by an ex teammate” thread.

I told myself that, too...that it was unlikely Steelers would have beaten the 9ers....but as far as losing a VERY winnable and significant playoff game, this one was the worst. Cowher had some amazing record when staked to an 11 point lead, line 150-1-1...something like that. Well, in the 94 AFCCG, Steelers were staked to a 10-point 3Q lead, squandered it, then came up 3 yards short on a potential game winning drive. Sitting at home with my then 2-year old son, I couldn't stop screaming "FUCKKKK.....FuCKKKK......FUCKKKK." My two year old is looking at me all bug-eyed.

Worse loss than any of the other championship games under Cowher, though 97 was bad as well. The 93 WC game against KC was a bad loss, too, as was the 02'playoff loss at Tennessee

Several idiots from that team did a SB shuffle video or some shit before that game making the loss even worse.

The reason I believe we could have won was because or O-Line with Foster & Eric G could've bullied them up front and dominated T.O.P. which would have kept the Niners O off the field.

And then there was the postgame double tragedy. The ex-wife of one of the chargers assistants, living in Pittsburgh, killed herself via running her car in her closed garage...something about being distraught that her ex was going to the Super Bowl and she wasn't.

THEN, while distributing her ashes into the pacific, one of her adult kids slips and drowns in the ocean.

A conspiracy theory has to make sense from the motive of the conspirator.

One does not enhance free agent status with high profile fuckups.

There are two things.

The Jets constantly overpay for Steelers free agents.

O'Donnell panicked and if he hand't he'd have been overpaid even more.

You don't need an exotic explanation when an obvious one will do.
