Yup. Good to keep that in mind.

If the Steelers lose against Cincy their regular season record will be 10-7, same as last year. If that record gets them a slightly higher seed it won't be because the Steelers were any better this year, it will be because at least one the other wild card teams that made the playoffs this year was worse. And if they then lose their first playoff game then this season would be EXACTLY the same as last year.

Don’t forget they also played a much harder schedule than they did in 2023 and still achieved the same record.

Always a half empty glass. Steelers offense better in scoring by 5 points a game , yards, time of possession and point differential. 20 TD passes by QBs compared to 13 in one less game. So yes offensively Steelers better . At least until you throw out stats you don’t like.

Now you agree with my previous post?

I do remember before the season someone posting that the Steelers could be a better team this year but have a worse record because of how difficult the schedule is.

Not "much harder", only slightly harder. Playing the 49ers at the start of last season was equivalent to playing the Eagles at the end of this season. The only thing that made this season's schedule harder was having to play the Chiefs, but that was only one game.

If we lose to Cincy the regular season win-loss will be the same, and if we lose the first playoff game the playoff record will be the same. Only in some warped fantasy world of yours would that make this season better.

yeah, we definitely improved against bad teams when it comes to points. The issue is against good teams we look the same as last year. We struggle to score points or stop teams

I don't even know what that sentence means after reading three times. MIKE TOMLIN will still be coach when you're in the grave.

Don't worry. Tomlin will fix it. Haha

common denominator ?

Bottom 5 QB?

It's pretty clear that the Canada hire and Pickett selection have set the franchise back for a few seasons.

I'm more concerned with what the plan is for 2025, 26, etc...

It would be a shame to see guys like Watt and Minkah play their best years without a single playoff run.

The same plan they have been doing. Nothing changes from year to year

Whatever the plan is, it has to start with a franchise QB. One that can compete with Lamar, Joe Cool, Mahomes and Josh Allen.

That's gonna be a tough box to check.

Its not as simple as just getting a franchise Qb and were set. We had prime Ben from 2010-2018, and ended up with 3-6 playoff record. Its going to take a bit more this time.

Agreed. It needs to START there.

True. But don't forget the difference between a franchise QB on his rookie contract and one on his second or third contract. It can be done obviously. However, it is much more difficult.

With Greg Popovich stepping down as the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, Mike Tomlin is now the longest tenured head coach in American Pro Sports (MLB NFL NBA MLS).

Does he also also have the distinction of being the current head coach with the longest current record of not eliminating any opponent in the playoffs?

Ryan Clark urges Mike Tomlin to leave Steelers: ‘His voice has run stale’

These arguments might hold some validity if the team wasn’t fielding garbage at QB. The past several years; this team is an underdog every Sunday.
