1 year agoI dislike ManU but i absolutely despise red card decisions like these.
Everyone and their mother knows this was utterly unintentional.
Is this really what a red card should be about? Technicalities?
For me it should be the exact opposite: A red is when people deliberatly try to injure, or provoke injuries.
None of that happened here.
And this is comming from a guy liking Kopenhagen, Liverpool and City.
While i agree that 6 - 3 is seemingly too high for the Steelers, i don’t think they are miles off either.
First of all, the teams they played against currently sit at a combined 44 - 39, so actually above average. And this is including the Steelers games. Excluding these games, the teams are even at 41 - 33.
And if we look closer at their results, it’s even clearer they should be at least positive:
They are 3 - 0 against teams with an negative record (Titans, Rams, Packers, all 3-6)
They are 1 - 1 against teams with 5-5 and 5-4 (Raiders, Texans)
But most importantly:
They are 2 - 2 against teams with an record of 6-3 or higher.
Their only losses are against the 49ers and Jaguars (both 6-3) and one against the Texans, who started the season 1-2 but are now 5-1 in the last 6 games, including the Steelers game. These were hardly mediocre teams.
All in all i think 5-4 is pretty much exactly where the Steelers should be, certainly not lower then that though.
