THE STANDARD.
I never really cared about this stat but it's impressive nonetheless.

Still cracks me up at how mad people get at this stat.
It's quite embarrassing that there are people that cannot see that as being successful.
What it really is, and this will probably be hard for some to hear, that they are not angry because Tomlin isn't winning, they are mad because he is not winning enough for them to salve their own egos. They are not putting the teams interest ahead of their own.
And I am thankful that the Steelers do not flinch at the smallest signs of adversity and that they do not run this organization the way some fans feel it ought to be run.
This isn't a team that chases Super Bowls and it never will be.
That is why they are more successful than any other franchise over the last 50 years.
They are the tortoise, not the hare.
Congrats coach Mike, but you could’ve been 11-5 or 12-4 right now if you’d thought twice about putting Mitch in.
A playoff win would be nice for a change
Previous years Tomlin critics would say it was all Ben. If it weren't for Ben, Tomlin would be having losing season. Just wait until Ben retires, then we'll see the real Mike Tomlin.
When I think about all the injuries this team had, calling guys off of practice squads and off of their couches to come start and without a franchise QB, I think it's been an accomplishment for him not to have had a losing season this year.
Now let's get a playoff win...
Here’s the problem for 2024:
This looks like a real offense. I’d be willing to bet that Tomlin keeps the offense status quo and lets the duo make their adjustments going into 2024…

Total Copium.
Name one organization that would be envious of the Steelers and their "excellence".
They just finished behind the Browns for the first time in 34 years and are in verge of missing the playoffs again if things don't line up their way in the final week. Yet again.
I think a lot of teams would take the Steelers success over where they have stood the last 20 years.
It's quite embarrassing that there are people that cannot see that as being mediocre.
The Browns have a legit good team. It's not realistic that we were going to finish ahead of them in the standings forever.
Wait a minute, doesn't every team (at least in theory) chase Super Bowls? Isn't that what a team is supposed to do?
I guess for you a 9-8 season really is the standard.
About half the league

Those teams are called losers.
That’s not much consolation,
And some teams would take our HOF talent and…..Nevermind, what’s the point
Just hope we make the playoffs
How do you survive with that line of thinking? You can't see beyond your own bitterness and shallowness.
How about every franchise that hasn't won 6 Super Bowls?
That would be 30 of them.
I get your point , it’s an accomplishment. But are you good going 9-8 missing playoffs?How do you survive with that line of thinking? You can't see beyond your own bitterness and shallowness.

I am good knowing that this team is moving away from its prior franchise quarterback and into a new era that will eventually unfold itself. I have no issues with the losing that has happened because from my point of view it was inevitable.
There are going to be growing pains, sure.
I like what I have seen over the last few weeks and it certainly looks promising and something to build upon.

In a sense, I would even say that Tomlin has finally gotten rid of some dead weight.
This is now 100% his team.
what dead weight are you talking about? Ben? lol
Keep up that energy when the Steelers are in a similar position in January 2025, and we'll see what you say then.How do you survive with that line of thinking? You can't see beyond your own bitterness and shallowness.

It's one thing to not want to make drastic changes and stay the course, but it's another to stand pat. You mentioned the tortoise and the hare before. Well, Tortoises still move forward. Where do you see in this organization that is moving forward anywhere?
Firing Canada was a small step forward. Now if they keep Sullivan as the play caller…then you’ve not really taken the necessary step.
It's not about "Haters" at all, It's about the Steelers not making the playoffs. And to me a 9-8 season and help needed from other teams to even make the playoffs, is nothing to brag or be proud of at all.the haters in 3...2..1.

Sounds like you answered your own question.
The 6 Super Bowl thing only relates to 50 year success,not 17,which I think is what this thread is based on. I don’t care who does it. Tomlin or whoever. Just somebody make a serious contender out of the Steelers again soon . It would be nice. I miss it.How do you survive with that line of thinking?

I think alot of people miss it.. unfortunately as long as coach T is in charge we will go no where. His record speaks volumns.
Agree with this. Needs to be a concerted effort to improve the OC in the new year and likely look at Interior O line, LB and D line in the draft.
Still impressive string of non losing seasons.
Was 2019 the year Ben’s elbow disintegrated?
That was a SB team with a healthy Ben.
