Well "playoff Smith" didn't show up. Defensive TD's didn't show up. PIT kicked our ass on kickoffs. Our brilliant bend but don't break strategy not only cost us offensive snaps due to time of possession, but it also didn't give Hill a chance to return many punts. Pit didn't play that well, but they did force Smith to have to make plays.

Let's think about "Playoff Smith" for a second...
He's had two huge games in the playoffs.
Against defenses that I believe were ranked bottom 5 that season. (Saints, Colts)
