Battle Of The North

The Colts can score points they beat the Ravens in Baltimore, and put up points against that Cleveland defense.

 

According to fellow teammate Damontae Kazee, the team is preparing to have Minkah Fitzpatrick on the field in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals, marking his return from a hamstring injury.

I’m not sure where Kazee received his MD

 

is it TOO MUCH to ask for one blowout this season??!?!

and I don't mean in the bathroom......

 

The last time the Steelers were up by 2 scores or more in the entire fourth quarter was in 2020!

The Steelers won only 3 games by 2 scores or more in the Canada era

 

I think right now the Ravens are playing the best all around ball in the AFC, better than KC, better than Dolphins, better than Jags.

Sure they got some tough contest and our schedule on paper is easier.

I think we will probably be Wildcard bound unless we run the table and they lose a few games.

Lamar Jackson's health is always a Wildcard, this has always been a turning point in the year, where his playing style often leads to an injury for him.

If they lose Jackson they are in trouble.

 

If Pittsburgh's passing offense steadily progresses like we hope it will, they should go 4-2. Hopefully they have a win over Indy with their losses to Seattle and Baltimore. It would not surprise me at all if they beat Baltimore. Jackson has had a hell of a time in big games against Pittsburgh.

We can speculate. The team shouldn't. Focus on Arizona Sunday one play at a time. If they find a way to lose it, then things get desperate quickly.

 

They also give up points, 24.4 per game, which is 27th in the league. They beat the Ravens because they got a horrible non-call in their favor in the final minutes. They lost to the Rams and Saints. I'm not suggesting that we should assume the Steelers will win that game, but they have at least a 50/50 shot.

 

Strength of schedule as well

 

We had a two score lead (9 points) on Sunday. We were up on the Raiders by 16 points with 6 minutes to go in the 4th q this year also.

 

But it was not the entire fourth quarter

 

And what difference does it make if they won the game?

 

I heard San Diego State has a strong clairvoyance program.

 

I see us dropping one game and the ravens dropping two or three. I think the last game of the season is going to be a decider of who takes the division. WC is the consolation prize

not worried about the browns or bengals

 

i agree. i'm guessing balt wraps up the division before our last game with them. And they play backups against us in the final game.

 

We are less nervous!

 

Would have hated to see their record with a healthy Chubb and Watson. Their D is top notch and minus those major injuries I feel this would have been a strong Brown team.

 

I agree due to serious season ending injuries the Bengals and Browns are dead. I don't believe the Ravens falter. I think Ravens have AFCN clinched by week 18 and unless they are fighting for a better seeding Lamar will be in street clothes that day.

Funny, when schedule came out I hoped that the last game would be big. Then the Steelers looked so bad to start season I figured it would be a useless game for us. Now things are looking a bit different.

 

A Holiday Inn Express?

 

I see the Steelers being 10-5 going into that game . Lets hope for a New Years Eve win there to clinch a playoff spot before we have to play against the Ravens in Baltimore .
But I agree about Seattle , just never know what could happen .
Honestly I will be upset if we don't win a playoff game this season, let alone just make the playoffs given what has occured within the division and what is remaining on the schedule.

If the steelers win the easy games, they lose no more than 2 games by end of the season. if they can only lose 1 game unitl Ravens, then Ravens game is AFC north championship game. We beat them earlier and would have a sweep if we beat them again. SF will beat them up and JAX and Miami will be no picnic either, They are over-rated and its because of easy schedule.

 

I don't see Baltimore losing 3 in a row to close the season, unless superstar, greatest QB ever is hurt again like always at the end of the season

 

that’s interesting, so you don’t think the ravens will lose more than one from the dolphins, niners and Jax games. That’s a tough schedule

 

I think that many Steelers fans underestimate how good the Ravens are because we seem to have their number. They dominate most other teams. In fact, they only way they seem to lose games is by giving up big leads late in games. If I'm not mistaken, they have had the lead in every game this season at the start of the fourth quarter.

They are a really good team.

 

The 49ers are really good, too. The Jags and Dolphins can be erratic, but at their best, they are dangerous.

 

They were behind in the scoreboard for only 35 minutes this year!

The Ravens are a true super bowl contender.Top 5 team in the NFL
