Early playoff odds

Just like the days of good Ben vs bad Ben

 

Well, I was wrong. It's at 10 points now. Sad that we're more of an underdog than Broncos vs Bills

 

Well, the Broncos aren't on a 4 game losing streak like the Steelers are.

 

And a good o-line.

 

That is sadly where we are. We have a shorter QB that is washed and can't see over the O-Line while the other can't pass downfield and will never be anything but a Scout Team QB.

The Steelers don't have the coaching to overcome the deficiency at QB. Maybe if we had a Shanahan or a Reid, you could get more out of Wilson or Fields. They aren't good enough.

Until we find the next franchise QB in the draft, we are are at best an early exit playoff team.

The Steelers honestly exceeded my expectations this season. It was pretty entertaining at times. I hope they can pull off a miracle against the Ravens.

 

i am not sure ANYONE in their RIGHT MINDS would have preferred the Ravens.....

 

yes - QUITE pathetic.

we are always just 'good enough', but always far from great.....

 

Let me just put this out there:

Current odds would make this game the third highest spread in the WC round in the Superbowl era, just behind:

2020 - WAS (+10) vs TB; result = TB 31-23
2010 - SEA (+10) vs NOR; result = SEA 41 - 36
(highlighted team favored)

Next highest, some of yinz favorite playoff:

2011 - DEN (+7.5) vs PIT; result = DEN 29-23

Finally, since 2000 the underdog team has won 4 out of 15 games (straight up) in the WC round. Unfortunately, all of the dogs that won were at home.

Oh, btw, this is the first playoff game between PIT and BAL where PIT is the road team.

 

Damn you guy I had to look up the 2010 NFC Playoffs to find out who the hell NOR was.

 

Perhaps I should be the Steelers defensive coordinator - pretty easy to KNOW exactly what the Ravens were going to do and they absolutely did it.
