Can the Steelers limp into Post Season

Beating the Browns won't be easy. The Steelers did already lose to them once, though they are a better team now.

That said, the run defense has been much better of late. If they can beat the Ravens, they can beat the Browns. That guarantees nothing, but it is certainly possible.

 

"trust the experts"

 

how about WIN ONE FOR THE GIPPER - the old days.....
go win this for Damar!

 

you are defying Vegas, with 'a good chance'. I just think it is unlikely, the Jets STINK, but yes, the Fins are Tua-less.....and losing left and right....

we can HOPE!!!!

 

as long as the Jets dont play the MILF hunter, I think they'll win.

 

I don't think they can go 6-2 against Cooper and Njoku, but I do think they need Robinson out there.

 

we will be challenged, stressed on D. We have NO answer EVER for Njoku.

one way to HELP is to quit kicking FG's - score some early TD's and get the Brownies out of their game plan.

 

The Steelers really didn't stop anything when they played the Browns in September, but the poor pass defense set the tone. They couldn't cover Cooper or Njoku. Chubb and Hunt ran all over them, too. I think they need to employ some of the strategies that worked against the Raiders, but the problem is they won't have the weather helping them out as much this time.

 

2nd half.. Mitch Trubisky's inability to sustain drives. Pickett is much better but still a rookie.
Browns Chubb ran for 113 yards. We need all hands-on Defense.
This isn't a gimme.

 

Limping in would be the Dolphins, who started the season 8-3 and are now 8-8. Limping in would be New England, who began the season 7-4 and are 1-4 since then. Limping in would be the Titans, who've lost their last 6 games.
Three teams that could make the playoffs who won't be "limping in" are the Steelers (7-2), Green Bay (5-0), and Detroit (8-2) to end the season.
(note- Pitt, GB, Detroit records are if they win their last game and make the playoffs).

 

We control our own destiny in winning a Mike Tomlin Super Bowl and that’s all that matters.

 

IF, and it is a big IF
The Dolphins loose, and rumors are true that McDaniels is fired, I would not hesitate to go after him as OC.
The Dolphins are stupid to go that route and will never win because of that sort of rot.

 

Jacoby Brissett was on fire that day too for the Browns. Watson has been awful at throwing the ball since he came back.

 

i would like that, and maybe that dude from AZ also, head coach / OC

 

I hadn't seen that one. They are going to fire him after one season? Ouch. Thar organization really is a mess.

 

I know Kingsbury has gone with more run-heavy game plans at times in the pros, but his history is spreading the defense out in a pass-heavy attack. I don't think the Steelers want to go that route.

 

I think Steelers will win, not sure about the other 2 games.

 

I have no doubt about us beating Cleveland this week.... I also believe the jets will beat Miami.......
Under normal circumstances, the bills would easily beat the Patriots, however, in the wake of DeMar Hamlin's situation, I doubt the Bills minds are gonna be on football yet

 

Love how we all see things diff, but after the most recent news on Hamlin I see the Bills obliterating the cheats and keeping belicheck out of the playoffs.

 

New England never promoted anyone to their OC position. So right now they have no Offensive Coordinator under contract. I am pretty sure McDaniels would go right back to New England as OC.

 

I didnt realize the Bills were actually still in line for #1 seed which they would get if they win their last two. If they beat the Patriots Sunday the NFL will be forced to play out the Bills and Bengals game. I'm not at all concerned about the Bills focus Sunday. They have every incentive to win it. I'm more concerned about the Jets.

 

This
I was just going to write something like this, and then came across Yours...

 

There has been reports today that the NFL is strongly considering making the Monday night football game a no contest. They will use record percentage to determine seeding. It's going to hurt some team, one way or the other, without rescheduling the MNF game


If that happens, Kansas City can clinch number one by winning Saturday night. Buffalo will still have something to play for. If Buffalo wins, they will clinch the number 2 and guarantee a second home game if they make it out of wildcard weekend.


Also increasing the steeler's odds, is that Miami will be down to their 3rd string quarterback

 

What are you talking about? He came from Denver and before the Redskins (Shanahan)
Mike, Mike McDaniels.

 

Gotta beat Browns first.


Gotta keep Cooper under 150 receiving yards though.
He could have a monster day.
