    Surprising stats on Steelers’ Roethlsiberger, Dupree, pass-rush, O-line
    https://triblive.com/sports/surprising-stats-on-steelers-roethlsiberger-dupree-pass-rush-o-line/

    "Some of the Steelers data was surprising to me. Burke’s numbers indicate the Steelers’ pass protection wasn’t as steady as we may think. Bud Dupree is more effective than we may presume. And the Steelers’ overall pass-rush is more consistent than their boom-or-bust sack totals on a week-to-week basis."

    Interestingly enough you have your flip-side.

    PFF: Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line ranked 1st in 2018

    https://stillcurtain.com/2019/05/15/pff-steelers-oline-ranked-1st-2018/
    "Though the Steelers starting offensive line unit is getting up there in age, they were able to stand together as one of the best and most consistent lines in all of football last year."

    Statistics don't lie. Interpreters of statistics do error. Which is correct? Not which do you want to be correct?

    Wins and losses are the only stats that mean anything to me.

    Stats lie all the time and most times barely tell half the story....

    get used to it buddy, not trying to be a Tomlin basher but we will not win another SB with him. Tomlin sucks, he's a fraud and a cheerleader. He is a waste of space imo and maybe waste of life. Not trying to be mean though.

    lol jk. 31 teams equal failure every year then, with patriots having only a 50% failure rate in your terms.

    I have statistics that disprove that theory. I also have statistics that prove that you’re right. Since they each only tell half the story, it’s 50/50 whether you’re right or not. Statistically speaking, of course.

    I always loved this quote: "Numbers lie with a straight face that words would never assume"

    I'm an engineer, so numbers and statistics and the debate thereof is my life. Liars that lie, can lie with words and they can lie with numbers. That doesn't make the words, numbers or stats invalid, they are merely tools that get used or abused.

    Here's a stat, 9-7 that should have easily been 13-3.

    And the 13-3 the previous year could have easily been 9=7 or 8-8. When you constantly put yourself in need of last second heroics, you are not as good or bad as your record, just average.

    Did you guys know that statistics show that a certain percentage of posters believe one thing, and a certain percent believe another. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I can assure you that I'm in the percentage that believes I know what I'm talking about.

    I could do an obscure joke about Pope John Paul II saving a aircarft that was having flight control difficulties by changing the seating of his fellow countrymen. Because every control engineer knows you can stabilize a controller by moving the poles to the left hand side of the plane. But that joke has a very, very, limited audience. Knowledge of LaPlace Transforms is required.

    About 30 years ago, I was actually a part of a group that was navigating a plane by walking around in it. LT wasn't required.

    But point taken.
