Don't count on getting Houston in the WC round

If the Steelers lose to Cincy, they're probably not going to play Houston it will be Baltimore (not that it matters the way the Steelers are playing).

If the Steelers lose next week, they're 10-7 and the Chargers are likely going to finish 11-6 with their remaining schedule.

Steelers are fortunate they won @ Cincy, or next week could very well have been for a playoff spot.

 

Going to Baltimore and getting walloped would be a very unfortunate end to the season

 

Wouldn't surprise me if it turned out in that way either.


What better way for Lamar to exorcise his "Steelers Demons" than in the playoffs?!

 

Next game against Cincy is must win then. Granted, the game against Houston isn't guaranteed either. Indy was supposed to be a win but look how that turned out.


Never mind that though. Given how the defense has performed these past three weeks, what evidence is there to support that Pittsburgh can defeat Houston?! Because Baltimore can?! Congratulations?!


Baltimore's overall talent far exceeds Pittsburgh's currently; doubly so on Offense. Unlike Pittsburgh, Baltimore can put up points, at will, against any team they ever so desire. Pittsburgh cannot.

 

I think the big difference is the QB. Lamar is exceptional and has matured massively over the past two seasons

The dumb mistakes are gone and he is a genuinely good passer

 

QB was a massive question mark heading into the season; Russell or Justin starting being irrelevant. Lamar isn't a two time NFL MVP for nothing. Who knows?! He might win three!!
