2014 Stats "Up in Smoke"

Wanted to see what real difference Bryant made in 2014 once he suited up - we all know about his 8 TDs in 10 games but what else went on during that run. Here's a breakdown:

Steelers went 3-3 w/o Bryant and 8-2 w/Bryant
Steelers scored 11.5 more pts per game w/Bryant
Defense gave up same pts per game after Bryant - about 23 (duh!)
Ben passed for 70 yds more per game w/Bryant
Bryant had about 55 yds per game receiving
Bell had about 10 yds more offense per game w/Bryant
Wheaton had about 10 yds less per game w/Bryant
Brown had same yds per game w/Bryant about 106
Miller had about 6 yds more per game w/Bryant

Bell and Bryant produced about 190 yds of offense per game when both played. We saw what happened last year before Bryant got on the field and we saw what happened when Bell was missing in the playoff game - but both missing to start this season, I think is fatal.

Unless someone else steps up big time - looks like 2-2 at best for 1st 4 games with Bell and Bryant out for at least first 2. I'd love for the stats to be misleading.

 

Imo Coates is a better WR then Justin Brown so that's going to play into it.
