Anyone know what the cause is? Bad luck? The league has it out for us?

No, once again, it's another manifestation of total **** discipline. And who is the main champion for discipline on a football team?

The head coach.

Do you think it's simply a coincidence when teams play with discipline and avoid penalties?

No, it's called coaching.

I am so sick of this regime being unbelievably lacking in discipline, accountability and focus.

And, maybe it's time we stop getting angry at Tomlin and start directing that angst to the one who just allows this slop fest to continue: Rooney.
 
The world champion Eagles are third in penalties.
 
I do remember one of the first things Tomlin said was he would fix the special teams and be a disciplined team. Over 10 years later, its still a **** show
 
Some of this is the league tweeking the rules and pushing the officials to protect the quarterbacks. Most of it is Mikey sunglasses and his failure to teach any discipline and situational awareness. For example the stupid **** Heywood-Bey did.
 
That is today's NFL. Games outcome are impacted greatly by the refs and their judgement calls. All you can hope for is that they call a game evenly for each side. So far for the Steelers games I think they have.

Pitt....37 penalties
Opponents....32 penalties
 
I do think they need to cut these penalties down. team has a lot to work on...........
 
When Heyward Bey can not only get a penalty for being stupid on a punt, then get fifteen extra for running his mouth and not be taken off the field immediately? Poor discipline is 100% coaching. Anyone making excuses for how this team repeatedly commits dumb penalties is in need of some intervention. I get the BS roughing stuff, it's happening to everyone. I'm talking about all the rest. I could give a damn where anyone else ranks, other than being an apologist I don't see why anyone else would either. It has to stop.

Who gives a damn? You kill me with finding reasons to justify ****** play all the time. It's alright to be a fan and see legitimate problems with the Steelers. Leading the league in penalties is a problem.
 
At least we're leading the league in something.

As i said in the other thread, when we end up getting penalties under control, not a peep will be heard about coaching fixing the problem.

With Villanueva leading the team in penalties, it is, clearly, a discipline problem.

Pete Carrol is said to be way better than Tomlin. Seahawks lead the league in penalties last year.

Justification im saying is too early to label anything.. we played three games. There are 4 teams below us in defense they are a combined 10-2. Everything will eventually balance out..

Of course not
 
The world champion eagles were 3rd in penalties last year with 130..

The super disciplined Patriots had 101 penalties last year the undisciplined steelers had 105.
 
Ouch, that kinda hurts the narrative.
 
In 2016 the least penalized team was the drum roll please.... the Cincinnati Bengals
