Take their win today:
Roethlisberger was out.
Conner was out.
Tuitt is out for the year.
At parts of the year, they were playing without Mason Rudolph. They traded their 3rd string QB...so they were down to 4th String QB.
We hear about the Bengals Tackle situation...but the Steelers played with a 4th string QB for several weeks...and WON some!
Yet here...we get a couple injuries and it's a license to go 0-8.
Your wind just changed direction.
Directly to your point, the Steelers have an elite Oline and a good defense that's holding teams to 21 pts a game. Their oline is opening holes for whoever runs the ball and they can protect the QB well enough to have him be Captain checkdown and still win close games. That's how they're winning with those guys.
The Bengals are plenty bad enough in plenty of different ways. You don't need to invent scenarios where they would also be bad, if they weren't hypothetical.
