Feeling Different About Extending Streak? | Steelers Afternoon Drive

[@benjermin44]

Hey Smitty, the comment was from me, Benjamin (Ben) from Arizona. I'm the one who likes the fact that we're always competitive. I do acknowledge that maybe one downside of the Steelers being such a proud, well-run franchise is NOT doing rebuilds. But like Alan said, if Tomlin can win another Super Bowl without ever having a losing season, that would be so awesome. To answer the question, the non-losing season hits way less hard this season. We went from hoping to find our QB and maybe win a playoff game, to actually having a chance to make some noise this year. Great show, my guys!

The streak is a record that may never be broken since it's becoming harder to achieve that consistency in the modern era. Keys to the streak are; great coaching and player management, great QB or in our case after Ben good enough to win games, and drafting at a top level despite picking in the lower half every season. If we can get to 25 winning seasons or more it will be an unbreakable record. Much credit goes to the Rooney family for the model they've created when you consider how few head coaches and GM's we've needed in the last 50 years.

As always great show fellas look forward to it every afternoon. For me the non losing seasons record feels better this year, because this team feels different from the past few years. Being from South Florida the Marlins connection hits home, because the way they operate single handily ruined the sport of baseball for me lol. I am very thankful the Steelers give me meaningful football to watch year in and year out.

Love show guys

Alan with a good take on the Pickens celebration penalty.

[@darrylcline2083]

My son is 20 and watches the Steelers every game. He's very fortunate to not go through a rebuild and consistently be competitive.

[@AFL67pitt]

Is 21 seasons with.500 or better a big deal YES since it ties Tom Landry and Cowboys for an NFL all time record

[@dannyjohnson8122]

I go back to them days of Cowboys and Steelers so I absolutely agree!

[@jjv124]

I think the most impressive thing on the streak tomlin and longer wise is non losing seasons keep you from drafting top 10ish and higher talent. They keep winning despite having lesser talent than other teams and that's really a testament to the fo and Tomlin

[@AFL67pitt]

Alan so you play hockey 👍 my son started playing at 43 I thought he was crazy but he loves it in an over 35 league

[@hbishop34]

Are we 11-1 if Russ starts every game this season?

[@NoahBarrow]

Do you think having Joey porter play a little more off coverage instead of press would help his holding calls. Just getting his hands off wrs in general earlier ?

[@christophersexton5778]

Listening from east tennessee. If our D can play solid and O all same game we could be scary yea we had some turnovers and D score all that which is great but all those points we allowed bengals get.... im glad we won but we should of made a full team statement all around.

[@DAway-ox8cj]

We still dialing things in. I feel like we are going to put it together at the perfect time. Go Steelers!

[@mrhead6856]

In the same city the Steelers have 21 straight non losing seasons....the pirates have had 4 non losing seasons in 32 years.... difference in ownership shows

[@AFL67pitt]

George should just calmly sit the ball on the ground and turn his back to CB and walk back to huddle. His signature “I DONT CARE ABOUT YOU AT ALL “

[@NoahBarrow]

I also think when afc north opponents play each other they should yo the rule from 2 to 3 unsportsmanlike penalties just because lol

[@garrett3373]

If the Steelers beat the browns this week it’s gonna be a interesting week of hard knocks when Kevin gets fired based of history of the browns firing coaches

[@La-Donna]

Wasn’t Mahomes just fined for that same gesture?

[@randyftobias]

The rule with the gesture is dumb, plain and simple. As long as guns are legal in the US, making a gesture that represents them should be fine. The obvious exception being that I don't think you should be able to make that gesture towards a specific player. That is more of a threat than a taunt/celebration. Don't get me wrong; it's stupid of GP to knowingly break the rules and then claim ignorance. Just like it's stupid for JPJ to know refs are going to call DPI over very little contact and to proudly state that he will continue to be be grabby instead of adjusting to how the refs are calling the game. Not that the refs were consistent at all; just look at all of Brown's uncalled false starts.

[@christophersexton5778]

I just want to win #7 i always wanted #7BIG BEN to win BIG #7 superbowl and can be first team to win 7 just like ben win us 6th and we was first team with 6 wins. But... that didnt happen unfortunately so now im ready to win im kinda glad we struggle couple season without ben at qb to make ppl more appreciative of ben who i feel took him for granted and didnt appreciate him as alot dont tomlin as well but now its time we need to get 7 now go all in next season to pay whoevr draft however FA signs whomever needed and go all out regardless of this season success or fall out. Tj cam tomlin now russ danny smith these guys dont have to many more healthy successful seasons left lets do it!!!!

[@Cmdr_Krella]

Great win BUT, we were only 6 points better then they were.

[@g_stax4343]

Also a -3 point underdog @ Cincinnati 🤔

[@steelerStr8Talk]

I do believe that still counts as a win, right?😂😂 some people’s kids can’t be happy with anything.😂😂

[@AFL67pitt]

What??? 6 points better is a win considerably better than most NFL wins for all games

[@ChrisG_Steelers]

I said on X.. I’ve only seen 1 meaningless Steelers game in my adult life.
