Steelers gets a lot of shite for sunshine pumping and rightfully so but the negative stuff said about this team over the last 5 months has been much dumber.

People freak out over 7 day rough patches. This is an organization that hadn’t lost 5 games in a row in six seasons.

We have the best roster in the sport and very little to play for. Acting as though this stretch somehow has more predictive value in the playoffs than the previous 150 games is mind numbing imo.

I don't know if you're purposefully being obtuse, but again, the bullpen has been bad for more than a 7 game stretch.

No one is saying anything about the offense, so that's a strawman that you keep bringing up to make it sound like people are being negative about the offense so you can act like you're the one being rationale while everyone else is being negative. No one is doing that, so stop.

It's still going to be really annoying when this all timer type team that looked like it might pretty easily challenge the '98 win total sleepwalks its way to 101 wins and loses home field.

But otherwise I agree, I've thought at several points we were about to really fall off and we've usually rebounded in pretty strong fashion. Obviously the close of the season is different, but would be nice to see another of those cycles kick off in the last couple of series and go into the playoffs playing some decent ball.
