    Or when the Steelers got robbed in the game prior to that from the Saints with horrible calls from the refs. It's always amazes me how LUCK sort of finds itself to even out in the long run.

    Mathematical probabilities against actual reality.
    What should've happened as opposed to what did
    This is the most self important article I think I've ever read

    I agree wholeheartedly that the pregame shows now are complete garbage. It's all like bad morning radio where they all scream at each other and fake laugh at "jokes" that aren't funny unless you've had a full frontal labotomy. And with Skip Bayless, Screamin' A Smith, and Colin Cowherd out there I have worn out the mute button on my remote. Halftime on Monday Night Football with Berman also has me scrambling to find the remote to mute him. His act was old about 10 years ago.

    Luck = preparation, meeting opportunity. No matter how we slice and dice it, 8-0 is 8-0. Loving it. Remember how lucky the Pats were during their nearly perfect season? Kept happening week after week. But then, of course.....

    Better to be lucky than to be good. Motto of the 2020 Steelers.

    That article has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever tried to read.

    I have concluded that 538 is the luckiest web-site to be in production.

    538 doesn't watch football, must be based in Dallas or Seattle.

    The Steelers' offense is on pace to have half as many giveaways as last year.
    If the offense isn't doing well in some aspects, I suspect that is due to deliberate measures to improve their ball security.
    (Fewer high risk/high reward plays, because they haven't been necessary.)

    (One of the differences in the Patriots this year? Last year, then ended up with a league-leading +21 turnover differential. Currently, they are at 0, with as many giveaways as they had for the whole 2019 season.)

    There is a lot of room for improvement on offense.

    We are lucky to be 10-0.

    But we are 10-0.
