Right. Right.
The last few years we've looked at it and I've been like, it was Pittsburgh. I've openly said, I don't want to see them in the playoffs because they're one and done. A few weeks ago, I was like, wow, Pittsburgh might actually be able to win a few games in the playoffs. And then of course they lose four to end the regular season. You're kind of like, ah, it looks like it's one and done.

And here's like what I'll say to you. And I think you're agreeing with me a little bit. Like, You're game planning for Pittsburgh's offense. I talk to coaches around football all the time. Nobody's scared of anybody on Pittsburgh. George Pickens is a good player, but it's not to the point where teams are like, oh man, if we don't double team him, we can't ever win the football game.

Then what are you worried about after that? I mean, maybe Friermuth down the middle over 10 yards? What, Najee Harris lowering his pads for a four-yard run? And then on the defensive side of the ball, I would echo those same sentiments. After you get after TJ Watt and Cam Hayward, you're not like, oh, no, they pose so many problems with us everywhere around the defense. No.

They're almost at a point where they're kind of meddling in, we just get in the playoffs. They might need to do something drastic with the roster, take a step back so they can get two or three steps forward instead of this constant, like, we just get in the playoffs and we're relevant, but we don't really have a chance to win the Super Bowl.

Right? Shocking?
Right? Shocking?
Right? Shocking?
Yeah. OK. All right. I mean, I think adaptable like I always just some offensive ones right away. I always I'm like, hey, Sean McVay, he's going to go in at halftime and he's going to crack the code and go, this is what they're doing. We got it figured out. We're going to start going to this place here. And all of a sudden you go, man, they didn't do anything in the first or second quarter.
