Only the Jets, Patriots, Giants & Panthers have fewer points scored.
You know, just because y’all share the same uniforms and philosophy, doesn’t mean you need to copy every single thing Iowa does
They copied us! Tired of this narrative
To be honest, the Steelers being held back from a higher playoff ceiling because of their quarterback has bedeviled innumerable teams from the 1970s until now.
They’ve also allowed the fifth-fewest points in the league.
Have they tried scoring more points?
Depends on who you ask
Yes. It hasn’t worked out.
They’re going full on Last Season Vikings. All seven of their wins have been by seven points or fewer, three of their four losses have been by 10+ points.
Although unlike the Vikes, they’ve not relied on last-minute FGs to win. In fact, the only last minute go-ahead FG came against them in their 13-10 loss to the Browns
I feel like we’ve won almost exclusively one score games for the last 5 years or so. This is not new territory for us.
I believe only 13 wins since 2018 by more than 8 points
Fans say they want balance between offense and defense.
Fans say they want it to be possible for a team to be successful not just with an elite QB.
But do they really??
They do not.
We suck so bad we’re good. Get on our level guys.
Why score many points when few points do trick?
Since TJ is being paid the most they also make him play the most time and snaps
This team is never going to be bad enough to get the talent they need to win a Super Bowl from the draft mwahahaha
Tomlin is the Kirk Ferentz of the NFL.
Well they have the 5th fewest points against which is important to note. Only the niners, chiefs, cowboys, and ravens have given up less points. Steelers also haven’t allowed more than 20 points in a game since week 4.
You guys are NFL Iowa - even have the same color scheme.
The Steelers just managed to dump their shitty OC mid season instead of after the season (probably because Canada isn’t Tomlin’s son lol)
We’re also like +10 in turnover differential which people always exclude. Anyone who watched last night’s game can tell you how much not throwing picks left and right goes to winning games
Kenny Pickett and the offense are doing their damndest to convince everyone there’s no hope, but TJ Watt and the defense are always there to say HOLD OUR BEER.
Kenny Pickett played well on Sunday. He also got robbed of a TD pass by either Diontae Johnson or the referees, depending on who you ask.
I was fuming about that call until the game was over. If there’s any doubt at all the refs should call it a TD, then it gets automatically reviewed.
Which is funny, because the exact next play when we fumbled, they officiated it that way (correctly). I was mad we fumbled, but at least they officiated it correctly, which is all anyone wants.
The broadcast officials and analysts have consistently talked about letting it play out and then reviewing, but the back judge (who had no view of the ball at all) decided “nah fuck that” and called it incomplete.
I know we scrape the bottom of the barrel in opposition the next two weeks, and I believe this offense can consistently get yardage like Sunday - but we need more than 20 points to show if we’re facing the Cards and Patriots. If we can’t showcase some capable results, despite any ref fuckery, we’re fucked.

I’ve seen way too many references to Iowa football today for my sanity as an Iowa football fan.
Yeah, university of Iowa fans are not impressed
Very cool, thanks?
