    It would been cherry pick if I would remove the 10-3 start of 2024 and count every other games since that time but this is not the case.I count every game from the last 96 games and I remove nothing in between

    You're full of crap doesn't want to count the 11 wins from 2020, but want to focus on the 1-5 finish that's the definition of cherry picking.

    The thing is,the steelers are just 3 games above .500 since that time and this is 96 games...Not a small sample size anymore

    Since the start of the 2020 season in the regular season they're 60-45-1.

    I can remove the 10-3 start in 2024 if you want a cherry pick by me!

    Pretty great roster building if you ask me. Giving up all those picks and never hurts them.

    The McVay approach: F—k them picks :lolol:

    Yep.

    Tomlin was too stubborn about this IMO

    Another poster pointed out his clock management wasn't that great in games though.

    You might be giving McVay too much credit here it's GM Snead who said F them picks.

    When you have a franchise QB and he can't score points or sustain drives early in the game he gets the blame. The defense is going to get worn out from being on the field too much.

    Time of possession in each playoffs game

    28:30 vs 31:30 against the Pats in 2016....The pats had only 1 drive without scoring

    The steelers had the edge in T.O.P against the jaguars in 2017...The offense had 42 points and 2 turnovers.You will win a lot of game with those numbers,especially at home

    In 2020,the steelers had the edge by 5 minutes...The offense deserve the blame for this game but the defense still gave up 390 yards

    In 2021,I gave you that...They had a great start on defense but the offense was brutal.Matt Canada was the OC,not a surprise.The chiefs had still 6 TD in 6 drives at one point

    In 2023,they were not bad but they were not good too against the Bills

    In 2024,the defense were on the field for 40 minutes because they could not stop the run.The offense were bad but you can't win on the road in the playoffs when you gave up almost 300 rushing yards,unless if you are lucky

    In 2025,Again true offense were brutal and they were the reason why the steelers did not win but the texans had still over 400 yards despite the awful game by their QB

    So yes the offense were bad in several games but the defense did not gave the steelers a good game to win outside of the last game vs Houston

    There is no way McVay isnt heavily involved with the draft but regardless, its the whole front office that I think is head and shoulders above the rest of the league.

    I hate to admit it but the Eagles front office is probably on the same level as the Rams.

    Only people that ignore facts like men have d!cks, and women don't, that 2 SBs, and one win, and 2SBs, and one win are the same , and not better, but hey feelings over actual facts.
