Interesting stat on Ben, Bell, and AB

Since 2013 out of a possible 96 games, they have only played together in 56 games. Their record in those 56 games is 39-17. It looks like the window has closed on the big 3, neither Bell or AB are likely to be on the team in 2019 .

 

I am not upset about any of them being gone. what have we won with them? let them go and see if the locker room changes

 

Given their overall record in those years, this means they're 23-16-1 in games where one or more was missing.

3 Killer Bs: 39-17 .694 win% - equivalent to 11.1 wins in 16 games
One or more out: 23-16-1 .587 win% - equivalent to 9.4 wins per 16 games.

2018: Record 9-6-1 Total games played by the Bs: 31
2017: 13-3 44
2016: 11-5 41
2015: 10-6 34
2014: 11-5. 48
2013: 8-8 45

Other than Bells rookie yr, the yrs they played the most, they won the most, the yrs they played the least, they won the least.

Bell and Brown have to go, no doubt, but It will be interesting to see how big a hole they leave in 2019.

 

Number of rings = Zip. Who cares about all the other stats if the most important stat reflects not achieving the goal? Last year 13-3 and then one and done in the playoffs. We played one more game last year than this year. In the end the result were identical.

 

How about all 6 of those years = 2 playoff wins (with 1 being gift-wrapped). Pitiful.

 

I think it will be better because Ben won't fell he has to force the ball to Brown into triple coverage so coolers don't start flying on sidelines.

If the Steelers play their cards right in trading Brown, free agency, and the draft I believe this team can still win with Ben at the helm. There are a lot of the pieces put together just need to fill a few holes.


And the locker room change is a must, which starts with the departure of Bell and Brown.

 

In funny thing is, the person that "disliked" my last post probably also feels Tomlin isn't in control of the locker room.
