We are nearing the eighth consecutive year where Mike Tomlin's Steelers have failed to win a playoff game. 

The average point differential in the five games the team played? -12.25

But at least they finished above .500 again, right?

The staggering change of Pittsburgh's goals in the past few years spits in the face of the fanbase that has expected championship contenders every year.  

They were that for half a century. 

Now? They are just a mediocre has-been like the Yankees or Canadiens. Filled with locker room spats, coordinator changes, and a coach who is absolved of it all.
