    Yep.

    But I can think of one or two crybabies who will still probably shit all over this thread because they're not winning 60-0 every week.

    If our defense would be good as they are in the first and second down, they will be in good shape, but they need to much better...The eagles were 9-11 in 3rd down at one point

    With so many games getting postponed at this point, I'm hoping they can actually get to the end of the season.

    Hard to believe they haven't been 4-0 to start a season since '79, though. Not even in Ben's rookie season when they went 15-1 or the 2008 season? Wow.

    Cowher had only one 3-0 start in his career and it was in his rookie year in 1992!

    Cowher and Tomlin usually start 2-2. Hell, Tomlin hit 3-1 and came very close to 4-0 WITHOUT Ben in 2010

    It's nice to see for once the offense come out firing early in the season. Even with Ben, I was used to watching the offense struggle until game 5 or so

    It’s nice and all but not convinced they can hang with the bigger boys yet.

    Reminds me of 2017, barely beating inferior teams every single week. Their record at least buys them time to improve things

    Yeah, I remember that - they started 3-0 and lost their 4th game on a last-minute TD pass by Moonball Joe, IIRC.

    They also won a game(vs titans) with only 21 passing yards on offense!

    And they looked unstoppable a week or 2 ago.

    And you wanna see a real shitshow of a pass defense? Check out the Rainy City Bitch Pigeons. They're just lucky Wilson is on fire and throwing 4-5 TDs a week, because they've needed every one of them. At least the Steelers have a rush that can get to the QB once in a while.

    The chiefs have not been impressive in 3 of their games this year(today,vs the 1-3 chargers and the pats minus Cam Newton)

    AMEN! Reading some of these threads, I’d swear we lost.

    This was actually one of the more frustrating games to watch that I can remember in a long long time...

    But every team is inferior to the Steelers.

    Steelers opponents are a combined 3-15-1 so far this year. Might want to hold off on planning the parade route for a few more weeks, just to be safe.

    in the past years, that'd usually mean we start off 1-3 or 2-2 I'm happy with it

    Funny, but I haven't seen "Super Bowl" mentioned in this thread yet. Actually, quite the contrary. And 41 years is kind of a long time.

    Besides, it's kinda refreshing to get through an entire quarter of the season without one knee-jerk "Fire (fill in the blank)!" thread yet, no?

    True, maybe this 2020 mood has everybody backwards, or maybe the lack of a preseason gave many a void where they could cheer for their favorite "preseason heroes". You know the story, Kevin Fogg will be the next Mel Blount, or "that Dante Brown kid at RB is gonna be a stud" kind of crazy optimism that it seems Steeler fans have currently.

    4-0 is fantastic, because nobody asks how or who you beat, but I have a feeling that the first game the Steelers lose, this board is gonna be full of knee jerk reactions. Just to keep it in perspective, Cleveland has more wins than all 4 teams the Steelers have played so far this season and I dont think a lot of fans really have bothered to keep that in mind.
