    A team like the Steelers who are one of the top 10 teams in the league don't think that way that's for sure. On the other hand a team like the Saints there probably isn't one coach or player on their team that think they are going to a Superbowl. If they were told that they will be 7-10 this season they would sign in blood for that.

    Here I won't go back far to prove my point.
    Didn't the Titans go to the AFC Championship in 2020, where is the SB appearance??
    Didn't the Bills go to the AFC Championship in 2021, where is the SB appearance??
    Didn't the Ravens go to the AFC Championship in 2024, where is the SB appearance??
    Didn't the Vikings go to the NFC championship in 2018, where is the SB appearance?
    Didn't the Saints go to the NFC championship in 2019, where is the SB appearance
    Didn't the Packers go to the NFC championship in 2020, and in 2021, where is the SB appearance.
    Need I continue??? LoL
    I can do this all day. There is no stepping stone.

    agree, but unlikely - possible, of course, but unlikely.

    See, that's the great thing about the Pittsburgh Pirates they don't have these problems. Their mission statement is simple, You are here until you cost money.

    What record do you think it would take for division? What record for home field advantage for all Playoff games?

    Damn Ravens predicted to win 12-13 games. A lot can happen along the way but I'd say we'd need at least 11 to have a chance at AFCN title.

    Now best record in AFC is a stretch. I do think the team with 13 wins will get it?????????????

    depends on injuries and many factors. jackson could go down the first game. burrow could get hurt. anything could happen and it will change outcomes. the division is always close. win it first and then worry about the conference. win your games and the pieces fall in place. :cool:

    11-6 and a playoff win is a realistic prospect but I think it’s also their ceiling

    Even if the offence is better than people expect it’s not going to be good enough to make a real playoff run

    I remember watching that game with about 20 people and not one of us was upset when Pats beat us. We were actually proud and excited we now had a franchise QB. We all knew rookie QB's DO NOT go to the SB. Eagles last two NFCCG's were against rookie QB's. I told my friends and the guys who listened to me made a killing betting big on their Birds.

    Unless Aaron Rodgers finds the fountain of youth the steelers are not beating the bills chiefs or ravens. Even if he does it’s still a stretch

    When did those three teams become the early 90s Dallas Cowboys?

    They're not but along with the Eagles these are the top 4 teams favored to win the Superbowl. It's just bad luck that 3 of them are in the same conference as the Steelers.

    Last I checked Allen and Lamar have been in the AFC since what 2018 and neither have made it to the Super Bowl, I don't want to hear that they're unbeatable.

    The steelers were unable to beat the Bills and ravens in the last 2 years in the playoffs
