It’s interesting how this didn’t seem to worry you when your own team did it.

The last time that the Steelers went into the last week of the season with a playoff berth secured and nothing on the line (in terms of Division title, home game, etc.) was in 2004. They played Buffalo in the last game of the regular season, and here’s what you had to say at the time:

I guess that this strategy only disgusts you under certain circumstances.
