There is never a shortage of theories as to why a team is losing when they are in a rut, as the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in. whether legitimate or invented, you can find just about any justification you might look for in explaining why they are not winning.
It’s the play calling. It’s the talent level. It’s the execution. It’s the physicality. It’s the tackling. It’s the communication. It’s the bulletin board material. It’s the coaching. It’s the lack of adjustments.
It’s the lack of motivation, the absence of the desire to win. This is the most odious and objectionable and the least substantiated criticism you’ll find, and you will indeed find it—you won’t even have to look hard.
