Fun fact of the day

Or should I say unfun fact of the day.
We all know Tomlin has never had a losing season but…
In 4 of the last 6 seasons, the steelers had a negative total point differential. If you concede more points than you score over the span of an entire season, you are obviously not a very good team. I do not care if you make it to 10-7 or 9-8. It means you win barely most of the times but lose badly on the other hand, with lots of blowout losses. It just shows that the defense cannot overcome the inept offense and that the defense is not as good as claimed a lot of times. And just remember how many receivers, quarterbacks and different coordinators we burned through.

 

Which part of that is the fact of the day?

 

10-7 ?

 

make it the fact of any day?! What are you even saying

 

I'm asking you to clarify which part of that is the fact of the day you are trying to impart on us all.

 

Dude, it is obviously not fact of the DAY in that it happened today but that you read about it today. What is there not to understand

 

So you don't really know what it is either?

 

it must be satire at this point

 

To many facts.

 

Fact of the day:

In 4 of the last 6 seasons, the steelers had a negative total point differential.

 

WINE IS FINE BUT LIQUOR'S QUICKER!!

 

You seem very confused

But I looked

 

Actually this is the spot on point that you will get 100% agreement on in this MB (and what a rare fun fact of the day it is) - the Steelers have not been a very good team the past 6 years including the bizarre 11-0 start in 2020. Good at times perhaps, but not in the long run, obviously.

But regarding the point differential - here are a few comparisons for 2024 results - I'm sure this probably mirrors the last 6 seasons and way before. But, per Dizzy's point, the Steelers point diff for the last 3 SB appearances were in the 120+ range.


2024 Final pt diff results
Steelers = +33 (Playoff team)
Cincy = +38 (Just missed playoffs)
KC = +59 (#1 seed - go figure!)
Houston = 0 (won division, #4 seed)
Rams = -19 (won division, #4 seed)
Atlanta = -34 (Playoff team) Nope. Sorry - TB won the deciding game.

While the odds of many of these teams making it past Round 1 are slim and distorted with the NHL type playoff scheme, just remember - on any given Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday..............

 

not ATL
Tampa +117 at 10-7

 

My bad.

 

Why am I the confused one here when they failed to understand such a simple text? Or whatever they did not understand about it

 

Fun fact of the day:

Steelers scored 3 1st quater TD's in 17 games.

 

the thing is, as you also said, those are not really good teams and did not have winning seasons for at least 6 straight years (except KC). And if you have so many winning seasons in a row, people would expect that you are a fairly decent team. But this stat proves they are not. So in the grand scheme of things I am wondering how much value those winning seasons have, if that is the ground they are build on.

 

make that fun fact for tomorrow

 

we were 3rd in points against and 7th in points for in the afc.

 

Essentially it has precluded the Steelers from attaining high coveted draft picks. Albeit that factoid never seemed to aid the Browns much but that's why they're the Browns whether in the draft of via "blockbuster" trades.

 

And yet somehow that doesn't deliver a warm and fuzzy feeling in the overall scheme of things.

 

Nor will it be warm and fuzzy in Baltimore. It will take a game liked they played five games ago.
