Well I mean, I much prefer having 2 NFL starting caliber QB's this season as opposed to the alternative.... Which is of course the last two seasons having 0 NFL starting caliber QB's

At this point are looking very good. They currently are the 5th seed in the AFC now at 5-2 and 4-1 in the conference. The next teams in line are Denver at 4-3, Indy at 4-3 the Chargers at 3-3 and the Bengals at 3-4 and that’s really it. Teams like the Patriots, Browns, Titans,Jags, Raiders, and Jets are all either 1-6 or 2-5 and are pretty much done as far as I’m concerned as far as having a legit chance to still catch the Steelers. The Dolphins are 2-4 and have no Quarterback and are also pretty much done as well. So that currently leaves 5 teams for 3 spots assuming the Ravens win the North. The Steelers, Broncos, Colts, Chargers and Bengals and that’s it. The Steelers own the head to head tiebreakers over the Broncos and Chargers.

So if the Steelers beat the Giants Monday night and get to 6-2 they would pretty much need to just go 4-5 the last 9 games to get to 10 wins which I feel will be good enough to get in in the AFC the way things look now. The Broncos would have to go 7-3 and the Chargers would have to go 8-3 if the Steelers win 10 games to overtake them since they both lose the head to head tiebreaker to the Steelers. The Colts own the head to head over the Steelers but looking at their schedule I don’t see them winning 10 games maybe 8 or 9 at the most looking at their schedule. And while the Bengals still could catch the Steelers being only 2 games behind them at 3-4 with two games remaining against the Steelers that’s pretty much it.

So the bottom line is if the Steelers beat the Giants and get to 6-2 it would take almost a complete collapse in these last 9 games for them not to make the playoffs. They are in very very good shape at this point for them to get in the playoffs as we reach the end of October here in the next week or so.

If we can't beat the Ravens during regular season, we don't get very far in the playoffs.

We are entering the second half at 6-2. That 3 game stretch with Eagles, Ravens and Chiefs is tough as hell. I don't understand why we have to play the Eagles in Philly since we just played them there a few years ago.

Who really understands the NFL scheduling? The last two seasons the Steelers had to play the Colts and Raiders on the road.

Based on our 2024 schedule, I'm not sure even the NFL understands its scheduling. I am sure its all done via algorithm, but they need to update the code a bit lol

Why did those bastards screw the Steelers in the second half of the season, with all of those division games being backloaded?

Someone suggested it was because of HBO and Hard Knocks doing the entire AFC North

I hope the Eagles beat the Bengals this week and drop them to 3-5. I don't want the Bengals to reach 4-4 and get hot for the rest of the season.

Second half of the schedule doesn't look as bad as it did in September. Bengals and Eagles are beatable.... and Browns suck. That's 5 games the Steelers can win if they show up and play.

The Commanders are scary as hell. Commanders offense is built to lay an epic beat down on the Steelers. I don't like their offense vs our defense... it's not a good matchup. I'd rather the Steelers play the Chiefs, Lions or Vikings right now... than the Commanders.

depends on the health of their QB and his ribs.
