They missed the playoffs when they played poorly.  Same reason the Bengals keep losing playoff games.

The real I've offered up is that the Steelers haven't been drafting as well, which eliminates their ability to reload instead of rebuild, which has always been their MO.

The real is that their defense, which is a staple of the organization and key to victory, has been regressing and getting worse over the past three years.

The real is that a team only gets so many draft picks, and even fewer early ones, which is where teams generally find their stars, so with the Steelers needing pieces and not finding the late-round gems that they used to, where do the new pieces come from that will allow them to return to dominance?

My real is that Ben will be 34 next season, which is right around the age, if not a bit later, that quarterbacks typically tend to start to decline in play, and most quarterbacks don't take the beating that Ben does.


So there's a few "real"s for you.  I'm sure I could probably find more if need-be.

Again, what's your "real"?  That it will happen just because it always used to happen?
