I understand that - I certainly wouldn't put him in the Gibbs/Tuna/Belicheck/Walsh tier of coaches because he hasn't won the big one. I was trying to make the more general point that Holmgren doesn't belong in that category either, and is much closer to a Cowher (can't bring it home) than to one of those top tier coaches I mentioned.

I think Seattle puts up 28 in this game and I don't see Pittsburg scoring as much on Seattle's suddenly lock down defense.

Good points, but I think Pittsburgh's D is capable of simply shutting down top flight offenses. Pitt's offense has shown they can put up points. I think it's going to go the other way, IMHO!
