Tbf there are a lot of Steelers “fans” saying that too. So many people rooting against the team just because they don’t want to be 1 and done in the playoffs again.
Making the playoffs this season would be a pretty good accomplishment IMO regardless of how far they got.
If the refs make the TD call (or if the game was home and they showed the replay in stadium so we challenge) that’s a score. No fumble from Warren and that’s at least another FG if not a TD.
It’s certainly a much better problem to have when you are moving the ball but can’t always convert than when you only have one or two chances at all in a game to score like we have all season.
Last game before Canada was a 500+ yard offense. First game after is a 400+ yard offense. No 400 yarders for 2.5 years with him.
How people can blame anyone but him for this team is baffling.
The narrative preseason was how hard it would be to make the playoffs in the AFC because of all the good QBs. As in there were a lot of good QBs not that the AFC necessarily had the best singular QB or team.
Rodgers got hurt
Tua is playing well
Allen hasn’t lived up to expectations this year
Mahomes is still Mahomes
Wilson has been much better lately
Herbert IMO is overhyped but the Chargers are perennial offseason favorites
Lamar is still good
Burrow was hurt and got hurt again
Stroud is looking good
Without really making any stretches, that’s 9 QBs who were either rightfully hyped in the offseason (whether it turned out true or not) or have overperformed.
In the NFC you have
Hurts
Dak
Stafford
Maybe Goff
Cousins
