I feel like the Rams could easily be 3 games better in the win column.

We are worse than 2-8. We should really be 0-10. No idea how we beat the Bills, and the Jets game was pretty much the only one where Mac was anything approaching an average NFL QB.
I think the 6-4 Vikings are better than their record honestly. The insanely bad/unlucky turnovers earlier in the year practically had them start 0-3 but they were still 1 score games. Take away just 2 of those fumbles and they’re prolly sitting at 8-2. Dobbs is playing bonkers and Flores has this defense borderline top 10. Just absolutely madness
better than: Bengals
worse: Steelers
Cardinals even without Murray being back are way better than their record shows, other than the Cleveland game, they’ve kept all the games competitive
As a Seahawks fan I think we are worse.
If you flip all our 1 score games we are 6-3,
So I would say we are right where we are supposed to be.
Our 1 score games: W @ Chiefs and Chargers, L against bitch pigeons in OT
Pats are worse than their record. Beating the bills was a miracle. We should have only one win this year
Better than record: Vikings. 6-4 record, but they have won 5 straight without Justin Jefferson.
Worse than record: Browns. No idea how they got to 6-3 with their terrible QB play, which will likely get worse now that Watson is out.
We Don't Apologize For Winning #HereWeGoSteelers!
Better: Bengals Worse: Steelers
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.
Both?
