PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Pittsburgh Steelers Higher

The Pittsburgh Steelers bring the broader offense. The unit has more answers than Philadelphia when the opening approach stalls. Philadelphia's strongest counterargument is Roster Strength. The Philadelphia Eagles are stronger across the supporting lineup. Pittsburgh needs more of its best players to cover the thinner parts of the roster.

Pittsburgh also brings the stronger defense. Pittsburgh adds the stronger coaching operation. The Pittsburgh Steelers still deserves the higher PFM rating.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT

Philadelphia Eagles’ Best Argument

The Philadelphia Eagles have fewer places for an opponent to attack across the roster. That gives the team more ways to survive when one strength is taken away. The roster strength advantage is a real point in Philadelphia's favor, but it does not outweigh the rest of the higher-rated team’s advantages. The problem for Philadelphia is that Pittsburgh counters with the more dependable offense and the stronger defense.
