Steelers coaches take blame after losses, but are not often applauded for wins. Mike Munchak deserve recognition for the difference in the offensive line.
I think team chemistry makes a difference between a winning season and a losing season. It is one of the intangibles that you have a hard time putting your finger on. How many times have you looked at a team and thought they had all the pieces but something was missing because the team just seemed to under-perform? The Steelers have been in that boat recently.
When coaches and players come and go, it can take time for the team to “gel.” I’ve seem this in non-sports situations and I think it is even more of an issue in a sports team.
For several years, anyone could point to the Steelers offensive line as one area that needed help. Injuries constantly took a toll and there were weeks when you may not recognize a few of the linemen in front of Roethlisberger.
