2020 11-0 collapse

Didn't Stafford have a shoulder that season? There was some risk there but hindsight says he was worth a 2.

 

I don't believe for the Stafford situation....Maybe it was in 2023 after a bad season for the rams and Stafford(because of many injuries including Stafford) but no way it was in 2022,few month after the rams won the super bowl...And the steelers had high hope on Pickett at that time too....I just don't believe that

 

But yeah,Ben was too limited at the end...His arm was not the same and he could not move....Bad combinaison.He was good for the first 2 months in the 2020 season but it was harder and harder after that

 

We went 10-0 winning impressively, and then we had that game against the Ravens that we only barely won. Even though we won I remember people feeling like the season was over, the Steelers struggled so much that game. Then we lost to WTF (I know it's WFT, but WTF is more fun), and I remember their players saying "I knew it!" like the Ravens had discovered the Steelers weakness which the WTF and teams after that exploited, and that was pretty much that on the season. I never knew what that thing was, but discovering Ben's limitations could certainly have been it.

I also remember some key injuries on defense and after that the D wasn't as good. I also remember the Steelers getting jerked around in terms of game times because OTHER TEAMS didn't follow the covid rules. We played the Ravens on a freakin' Wednesday, then the WFT on Monday five days later.

 

Freaking surprise that we won that many games with everyone knowing what we were doing on D forever. They must have been superhuman. LoL

 

The defense lost Dupree and Bush to knee injuries, that Washington story gets overblown everybody knew the Steelers were winning with smoke and mirrors.
