Hi everyone, I was searching the web for Steelers articles and found one very interesting stat, let analyze it a little bit.
The Steelers have faced six of the top eight defenses:
TEAM RANK DEFENSE POINTS SCORE
Baltimore 2 23 , 13
Philadelphia 3 6
Washington 4 23
NY Giants 5 14
Tennessee 7 14
Dallas 8 20
In those games we are 4-3. The point differential is -2, very close games if you took apart the loss to ten and the win to Was. So that says that with the great help of the D, Ben and the offense can score the points need to win.
The rest of the games were:
TEAM RANK DEFENSE POINTS SCORE
Houston 22 38
Cleveland 26 10, 31
Jacksonville 17 26
Cincinnati 12 38, 27
Indianapolis 11 20
San Diego 25 11
New England 10 33
In those games we are 8-1. The point differential is +126 (WOW). So this says that with the great help of the D, Ben and the offense can destroy a lot of teams.
I know this is the weak spot of the team, but really is not that weak. If you check the offense injuries, Parker miss a few games, Ben injured almost all the season, Miller missing games, the o-line in a continuous change of players due to performance or injuries. Santonio miss a few games and the weed game also. One head of a 2 headed running monsters done for the year.
We have a healthy O now, and I know we can change that trend of not scoring against great D's.
Lets cheer the O the same as the D, let give us our support on Sunday and the will crush SD.
P.S. Once again everybody is talking about SD and forgetting the Steelers, that such a good thing all of us know we are far better playing under the radar.
Saludos a todos.
VAMOS STEELERS!!!
