So they clearly are a younger team that's getting better and better.

Would you really say that the Steelers were getting better and better as the year wrapped up?

They finished four and one, but they lost to the Browns.

I know that.

I get that.

And the Raiders beat the Patriots in September too.

And no one would say the Raiders last year were close to winning a championship.

The only reason why they might be is because they're getting a brand new head coach and the number one pick in the draft, which you get to cut the line when those things work out.

I don't think they're that close for the record.

But the results against these two teams do say otherwise.

And if you're a Steelers fan who thinks actually...

We can be a competitive team that makes a run to the playoffs and then finally wins a game with a new head coach who's not Mike Tomlin.

I hear what you're saying, but to me, it's not a very strong argument when both teams are on the field and the Steelers don't look like they're any worse than the Seahawks and Patriots.

They really didn't.

Here's another great unknown.

The league's been defined by Mahomes primarily for a while now.

Are the Chiefs going to be down and be this version of themselves next year?

Are the Bills going to, with a new head coach, by the way, are the Bills going to demonstrably be worse?

That's why I said I don't think that this year is producing a great team, which makes the Steelers getting blown out by Houston and having the same result to their season as the last few years even worse.

Because this was a year, I think, where they could have possibly...
