Sanity check. Over the past 18 regular season games, dating back to the Saints game in week 10 / 2022, the Steelers record is 13-5. Additionally they went 3-0 in the 2023 preseason. Only the Chiefs have more regular season victories over that period. Are most of the victories nail biters ? Hell yeah ! Are we all having heart attacks in the last 2 minutes most games ? Yep ! Has this been Steelers football for so many years ? Basically ! Is there room for improvement ? Big time ! But those who are beating on the regular whipping boys after each loss and even each win should sit up and check the facts and be glad we have a winning team. Here we go…
I stand by the fact that good teams/coaches rely on their teams talent more often than not to do the heavy lifting during the regular season and then pull out all the stops in the postseason. Sadly our coaching regime likes to rely on the former regardless of the day
