Let’s say the Steelers continue to have a bad offense that only scores enough points to win and they look like an offense from the 80’s doing it. Let’s also say the defense continues to give up a crap ton of yards, but the splash plays continue to keep points off the board and low enough that the team still wins.
Should this team make the playoffs, it would prove they were good enough to get there. If they should win a game, it would prove that it can be done against a playoff team. If they win the whole thing, would you people saying “it isn’t sustainable” and “it can’t beat a top tier team” at least agree to stop your nagging? You can continue to believe what you want, but a lot of you are the type of “fan” who will never be happy with the result. Like those that complained about how Ben was terrible in Super Bowl XL and we shouldn’t have won, etc. Just shut up and take the W’s!
People keep “nagging” about the team because there’s a higher expectation for this team than just squeaking into playoffs and getting blown out in the wildcard round. Or just barely beating a corps of a team in the Packers. We never dominate teams. Last time they were a legit playoff contender who could make a playoff run was 2017 and even that ended in absolute embarrassment by the Jags. 3 playoff wins in however many years gets old quick. I’m getting tired of “the standard” being that we get our asses handed to us in round one of playoffs. And I doubt any real Steeler fans complained about Ben in SB40 and said we shouldn’t have won, that just sounds made up.
