Steelers Burning Question: Does it matter how success is achieved?

Last season I did the Friday Night Steelers Six Pack and wondered if it was worth doing further. After all, interaction was not great, and sometimes you just have to adjust. So I decided to call an audible, and not just abandon the Friday night meeting of the black-and-gold minds.

Instead of six questions, I wanted to focus solely on one question.

We’ll still do the preamble of what you’re eating/drinking/listening to, but we’ll focus our attention on the one Steelers question of the week. Don’t worry, most weeks I’ll do a bonus/extra credit question for fun. With all that out of the way, let’s get to the question!

Throughout the Mike Tomlin era, or should I say the Post-Ben Roethlisberger era, a lot has been said not about winning games, but the style in which they’re won. Week 1 was a perfect example. The Steelers win 18-10, a good road win to start the season, but 6 Chris Boswell field goals doesn’t really leave a warm and fuzzy feeling in most people’s stomachs.

So, does how the Steelers win matter to you, or is all that matters is the bottom line? Wins.

If I’m being honest, how the team plays absolutely matters, but it doesn’t take away from the end result. The Boswell field goals were not the way I’d like to win a game, but I also can look at the circumstances and see 7 drives which got into scoring range. It could have been worse, and you can imagine it will likely get better if they find some equilibrium at the quarterback position and along the offensive line.

Nonetheless, I’ve taught myself over the years to never fret over a win. Sure, you’d love it to “look” a certain way, but never complain when the Steelers get another notch in the win column. You know what they say…beggars can’t be choosers.

As for what I’m eating, I have no idea. I’m traveling home today, so I don’t have a clue what is on the docket for my return. As for drink, it’s likely store bought kombucha, and the tunes will be whatever is being played around the house. It will be good to be home.

Happy Friday everyone!!
