Red Zone offense. Improvement is needed.

[SteelerSask2]

Not saying these stats don't matter and in the era of analytics I'm sure it can be broken down further than RZ %. However, to me it is turnover ratio and TOP/ field position that wins football games. I've watched this team enough to know that when they win the turnover battle they win the games. While the defense left a lot to be desired it did create turnovers at a much higher rate. And on the flip side you can call it anecdotal but when this team turns the ball over it is almost always a TD that follows.

Red zone. Some work is needed.

We got a franchise QB in his prime, perhaps the best WR in the game, a good OL, one of the best back in the league in RB in Bell, and a very good one in Williams.


Yet the 2015 Steelers scored a touchdown in the red zone 57 percent of the time they got there. This was good enough for No. 13 in the NFL ( 16 or 17 would be average ). With all the weapons they have, the notion that they couldn’t get a touchdown six times out of 10 trips is a bit disconcerting.


Why is this so? It is play calling / coaching calls, penalties, or lack of offensive talent?
