Things I've Heard on Here.

1. We can't coach
2. We can't develop talent
3. We can't make game time adjustments
4. The whole NFL knows our Defense
5. Our Defense has never changed
6. The whole NFL knows what we are running on offense.
7. We don't use our players correctly.
8. 8-8 is the Standard.

Yet we win 10.5 games average a season. Many times with Old Ben, Old Wilson, Mason, Trubisky, and Fields.
So are the other teams just letting us win? Are they just being nice to us?
Are the Steelers doing it by magic??
I mean really, add all that together, and make that all make some type of sense.
If people just used a bit of common sense they would know all that can't be true, or we would suck, year after year after year.

 

9. We have won 3 playoff games in 14 years.

Forgotten 1 will love that.

 

Steelers last playoff win January 2016.

 

I do think that we have some coaching issues. Definitely not in every position, but we have historically had some areas where we consistently underperform and don't seem to be able to develop people. Quarterback would be one of these spots.

I've always thought that the Steelers have made some good adjustments at halftime. Many times we've gone to halftime with our nuts on the anvil, we come back from halftime and everything suddenly starts going our way.

I do think a lot of the teams have been able to read our offense and defense pretty well. I don't think that's any secret. I think that this year that's changing. Seems like a lot of people are pretty down on Arthur Smith, but I see a lot more misdirection and chaos in a good way from our offense. I am not seeing big differences on the defense schemes yet. But trickery is a little different between offense and defense.

 

The answer is Tomlin does a good job of getting a good enough record every year to sneak into the playoffs. Then as the #6 or #7 seed they are playing a powerhouse team that they just can't compete with.

 

thread seems to be over

WIN WHEN IT COUNTS

 

Maybe because their opponent has MVP type of franchise QBs and are playing at home, we had a washed Ben, Mason, Trubisky Pickett .
