    You're making some big assumptions about the games against the Dolphins and Browns. The Dolphins are on fire, and they have an excellent running game. The Browns are better with Sanders than they were with Gabriel.

    Maybe Howard gets reps in the second half of that last game but Mason needs reps just in case AR goes down in the playoffs. Mason has been doo doo.

    It's a talent problem with the OL. This OL is not nearly as talented as the OL we had during the Killer B's era.... Pouncey was better than Frazier, DeCastro was better than any Guard we've had since then, Villanueva was better than Moore and Jones.

    If they got that touchdown which they really should have we would have lost that game

    There were like two minutes left in the game after that play the Steelers had time to kick a FG at the end.

    Winning the North is like being the tallest midget. Nobody cares this team is clearly not a serious contender.

    We are incredibly inconsistent and even the good version of us isnt very good however anything can happen once you get in and there are no Chief caliber teams this year.

    Believe it or not, I think the Pats have the best shot. I think the only thing that may derail them is they dont have a good WR room. Old man Diggs leading the way.

    I think Maye is on his way to being the best QB in the league.

    I understand the sentiment of just make the dance and see what happens but based on our recent history and what I see on the field that’s just not going to happen. If we got a team like Jax or SD maybe stars align for us one game.

    Jags are my dark horse. Lawrence finally playing good ball, defense very good, good RB, and BTJ might finally be hitting his stride.

    If the steelers win the afc north,they will have more chance to win a playoff game this year compared to the last 3 since they will be at home and likely not being a 9-10 points underdog.Or maybe not!

    If this is the jaguars or chargers,why not...But for the other side,if the steelers start a playoff game awful again,it will be firetomlin all over the stadium all game long!

    Yea they seem to be coming on but still think them or Chargers would probably be our best possible option.

    Chargers are about to free fall. They have @Chiefs, @Cowboy, Texans, @Broncos. If the Broncos still have something to play for on wk18, the Chargers finish 1-3 at best

    That’s a tough schedule. I’m thinking it will be the Bills as the 5 seed unfortunately. Still a lot of moving parts each week it will become clearer. Obviously we need to take care of Miami first and foremost.

    I don’t want the Texans. I’m not sure we could gain 100 yards of offense on them.

    Both teams would beat down the Steelers.... with a minimum of 200 yards rushing. Steelers offense wouldn't gain 100 yards total against Texans defense. Texans would win 30-0. Jags would win somewhere around 37-10.

    When did Najee Harris ever have a 6 game stretch where he averaged over 5 YPC? His stretch of quality ball lasted 3 games a season, though He averaged 3.2 plenty (more than Warren).... Warren's been much more consistently good than Harris has been (and he's a good receiver out of the backfield to boot). Our RB room is one of the few offensive bright spots we have... acting like we should miss Harris at all is a joke.

    We don't know that for sure, but it definitely changed the outcome. Its the right call, but a dumb rule IMO. Feels like the Jesse James/Dez Bryant/Calvin Johnson catches. All should've been catches, but the way the rules are written makes them non-catches.

    Whether you think we deserved the win or not, we won. That win set us up to have a REALLY good chance at making the playoffs. Gotta run with that momentum Monday night. Hopefully a Bengals win earlier in the day puts us on the prime path moving forward.
