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

    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’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

    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??

    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.
