Steelers are 6-3 while the pats sit at 2-8, they are built almost identical, stout defense, with an offense that is terrible, so what’s the difference?
2 things:
-
We are playing a much harder schedule, going into the season it was ranked the #1 most difficult schedule. It was going to be a tall task to make it into the playoffs, but I don’t think any of us expected this result.
-
And it hurts to say, Ive supported Mac for the last 3 years, but if he played more like Kenney picket, ya KENNY PICKET, we would have likely won a couple more games. Picket has less than half as many ints as Jones does and that is the biggest problem. Jones is not only removing point potential from us, but is giving the other team more opportunities to score.
The Steelers also didn’t lose TJ Watt, Patrick Peterson, and Diontae Johnson, which is basically what we lost in Judon, Gonzalez and Bourne (not from a skill level, but Edge1, CB1, WR1). And yes, their schedule has been much easier.
Pickett also has Johnson and Pickens who are better than our WR options by a significant amount.
Pickett is not winning them games, but he’s not really losing them games either. Ride the defense, get your 17ish points and boom 6-3.
dude pickett has 7 game winners in his career. And patrick peterson has been awful all year. Shows how many steeler games you watch lmfao
