Yeah, we know Bill Parcells said “You are what your record says you are.”

But which to teams do you feel are not what their record says they are?

Better than record: Cardinals only because Kyler Murray is back

Worse than record: Steelers whose luck will run out any week now. Right guys? Any week now.

      Offensively, good for the first two drives, shit for the rest of the game until another brief moment of competency in the last 3 minutes.

      Defense is good though, and we usually ask too much of them.

      Even as a bengals fan, I always hope the steelers make the playoffs. I hate you, but damn it feels like real playoffs when you are involved

      Kenny Pickett.

      Great last name for a bad QB. Amazing on how you guys keep winning when he only threw 2 tubs or more once in his entire career.

        A QB room of Kenny, Mitch, and Mason sounds like a Geelsquad at a Best Buy near Pensacola that like to race their trucks after work

      The way I see it, your team this year is more dangerous than a few years back when you started 11-0. That team was never going to make any noise when it mattered. If this team makes the playoffs, look out. Do I think you’ll win the Super Bowl? No. But could I see an upset or two? Absolutely. As stacked as the AFC is this year, no team is untouchable.

        This is where people keep saying “worst 6-3”, “worst 11-0”, “worst 9-8” really just means the coaching is substantially impacting outcomes.

        Mike T drags that “high end talent” to wins in the ugliest way and he’ll beat your team to do it. The amount of times losing to the Steelers has sent other teams fan bases into a tailspin is poetic.

        That’s just ridiculous. Yes, our offense is abysmally bad. But it’s not like our defense just doesn’t count for anything. We’ve pulled off enough “flukes” by way of turnovers and defensive stops that they stop being flukes at this point. And, to their credit, our offense is protecting the ball as well or better than any other team in the league not named the Chargers and preventing us from straight-up losing the game each week.

        No, we are not as good as the other 6+ win teams. But we are clearly putting a complete team with an actual game plan on the field every week, which is more than the Packers, Bears, other 3 win teams can say right now.

        Name a team, ever, with 3 wins and a +10 turnover differential through 9 games.

      I’m more concerned about that now with al the injuries. I was okay with what we were before because I felt the defense was more important and that the offense would get better through the year like last year.

      But now, the injuries to the MLB spot…yikes… the run defense was already in peril. If we don’t find a way to plug up the holes missing on defense, I don’t know how we will win games.

      The offense is starting to do more but the d is fading fast. The pass rush isn’t getting home anymore and the back end isn’t holding up well.
