    Coaching and discipline, well, the lack of it in both cases, same with Dallas. The Cowboys are near the top in total offense and defense and they've only won one game.

    Coaching and discipline...both teams are lacking in each category.

          Look at turnover ratio as well as turnovers resulting in points for the opposition or points lost due to TO's in the redzone.

          I know for a fact that at Seattle they gave up two ST TD's as well as two TO's in the red zone.

          Against Oakland I believe Rivers had a bad Fumble that resulted in a TD as well

          2 of the 4 losses right there.

            I think turnovers are the top indicator of wins/losses.
            Clearly statistical offense doesn't amount to championships. We all know that.

            But, I've watched a bit of the Chargers off and on. How the heck are the top in either stat? They stink.

              They played the Chiefs, Jaguars, Seahawks, Cardinals, Raiders, and Rams...and still managed to lose 4 of those games.

              That's late-November, early-December 2009 Steelers bad right there.
              Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

              Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

              We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

              We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                  I love the fact that they're only 2-4... Philip Rivers is a tool and is in my top 5 of MOST LOATHED NFL PLAYERS.

                  The reason this team is only 2-4 is that week in and week out no matter how high their stellar numbers are on both sides of the ball, the team has been Norved.

                    It shouldn't surprise anyone. They caught the Steelers' 2009 diseases....specialteams-itis and turnover-losis. And Dallas has one more disease, penalty-biosis.
