Steelers get away with all sorts of dirty Illegal plays and get called a tough team. They wouldn't be nearly as good if held to the same rules as some of the other teams follow in the league imo.
To an extent I agree, but we've shot ourselves in the foot plenty as well. The Ravens are competitive with the Steelers. They've also been able to win a couple championships. I've wondered before if the 2 are related. The Ravens have been able to hang with the class of the division while we've always struggled.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
