My final thought is:

Steelers > everyone else

You can tell some people haven’t been around sports competitively since they were kids. These dudes are insane competitors and get very intense when they get in that mode.

Steelers offense ranks 14th by DVOA. Defense ranks 7th. Overall they are the 11th best team by this metric in the NFL.

An interesting bit I liked from the read:

There are three main reasons why offensive DVOA likes the Steelers offense much more than other metrics.

1. The average Steelers drive through Week 10 started at the 26.4-yard line. That ranked 31st in the NFL. They have to go farther to score than almost any other team.

2. The Steelers avoid turnovers. They have the fewest turnovers in the league. Although the new version of DVOA this year gives turnovers a smaller penalty than older versions of DVOA, they still matter and avoiding turnovers is a good thing!

3. The biggest issue is schedule. As bad as Canada has been criticized, it seems insane to me to fire him after a game where the Steelers couldn’t score against the Cleveland Browns. Have you seen the Browns the rest of the year? They are killing every offense on the schedule (except, for some reason, Indianapolis).

In the first 10 games of the season, the average defensive DVOA of Pittsburgh’s opponents was -8.5%. If the season ended today, that would be the third-toughest offensive strength of schdeule in DVOA history, trailing only the 1982 Buccaneers (-10.2% in a nine-game strike year) and the 2004 Browns (-8.7%). Half of Pittsburgh’s games have come against top-eight defenses, which are really top-seven defenses if you don’t consider the Steelers themselves. Things get easier for the Steelers, with an average offensive strength of schedule for the remainder of the year. It’s very likely that the offense will look better no matter what and people will attribute it to the offensive coordinator change even if Kenny Pickett isn’t really playing any better and the coordinator change hasn’t really changed things.

The restaurant is open. Customers are coming in and ordering. The head chef has just been fired mid shift. All you have are the ingredients prepped and the menu set by the now fired head chef. You can probably remix a couple things and throw them out as specials, but the ingredients are gonna be whats already in house.

“The decision came from team president Art Rooney II after watching the Steelers average just 16.1 points in 10 games and seeing quarterback Kenny Pickett struggle to develop in his second season.” – Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post Gazette

The decision was never tomlins to make but go off about how you have never liked him since 2007 for…reasons

How don’t people understand this? They had a competition in camp, Press outplayed Mann in camp. The Steelers made their decision based off the info in front of them.

Plus good punters are super rare rn and teams have been trading left and right all season for a decent one

If you bench KP there’s no putting the genie back in the bottle with that one. The back and forth of starting sitting is not going to help anything. If he’s getting benched, he’s done for the season barring injury.

And the second mitch has a 2 or 3 INT game yinz will be like “wtf is this shit at least kenny didnt give it away!!”

imagine taking a lap on fans of your team bc you feel good about a player potentially being bad

id rather cheer a dude on and hope he figures it out over being a pessimistic dickwad who relishes in players performing poorly in order to be right for fake internet points

He’s getting his third year with a new OC and that’s just the way it is lol

Even a bad chef can fuck up the world’s best steak. A good chef can make it how you’d expect. And a great one can make you something you didn’t even know you wanted out of that steak.

But even the best chef can’t turn chicken shit into chicken salad.
