Make your prediction NOW! Playoffs or no?

Lets hear em.
I say yes. 9-7 will make the playoffs again this year and this team has a very soft schedule. I'll say they will finish 10-6 and win one, lose next in the playoffs. I'm skeptical about the playoff win though as any playoff caliber QB will probably carve the Steelers secondary like a well roasted Thanksgiving day turkey.

 

No playoffs. 8-8 or worse.

 

Not at all. Put me down for a "yes" vote.

 

We lost to the Bucs, struggled with the Jags, and I have a bad feeling about the Browns game. If we lose 2 out of those 3, I don't see how we make it unless we catch every break imaginable.

 

HELL YEAH
(as long as ben stays healthy)

 

Week 6: at Browns – 1:00PM – October 12 loss
Week 7: vs. Texans – 8:30PM – October 20 loss
Week 8: vs. Colts – 4:25PM – October 26 loss
Week 9: vs. Ravens – 8:30PM – November 2 win
Week 10: at Jets – 1:00PM – November 9 win
Week 11: at Titans – 8:30PM – November 17 win
Week 12: BYE
Week 13: vs. Saints – 1:00PM – November 30 loss
Week 14: at Bengals – 1:00PM – December 7 loss
Week 15: at Falcons – 1:00PM – December 14 win
Week 16: vs. Chiefs – 1:00PM – December 21 win
Week 17: vs. Bengals – 1:00PM – December 28 win
9-7 but lose tie breakers miss playoffs Tampa loss comes back to haunt us

 

I say we beat browns and Texans and finish 11-5 win division. not sure about tie breakers with cincy if we split but I think we win it.

 

Looking at the remaining games, I'm thinking we're going to go 7-9 and miss the playoffs. I haven't seen anything to convince me otherwise.

 

Can I wait until after Sundays game to vote?

 

I'm gona go with yes, but I think we are gona make the playoffs every year ..

 

The playoffs are often about who's hot at the end of the football season, provided that team didn't already lose too many games early on for it to be too late.

Last year, the Steelers started out horribly. By the last several games, things were much more in sync, but it was just too late at that point for it to matter. I'm hopeful that this year they'll get to the point of being one of the hot teams toward the end of the season, and have a decent enough early/mid season run to make it relevant.

 

DUH
YEAH

if Ben tightens his belt up and focuses
it's a non issue


10 yr vet touches the balls every offensive snap

gotta
DO THE RIGHT THING

 

SAY IT PLEASURE!
SAY IT WITH PRIDE

YOU GOT TO COORDINATE

 

Didn't your parents ever teach you what NOW means?

 

No way we make the playoffs. This team is terrible. Tampa Bay , Jaguars and the loss against the Browns ( this coming Sunday)

We don't deserve playoffs and if by some chance/miracle we sniff the playoffs we will lose out in first round

 

Well if I wait until 5 Sunday evening and come back to this thread it will still be NOW and then I will vote.

Not NOW now...LATER now. Thats what I want to do.

 

Alright, if you're making me vote NOW, I'll have to say no. I see another year wasting away again in Mediocreville. While I'm happy about the win, I saw two below average teams playing football yesterday and somebody had to come out on top. We're a .500 team and so far we're true to form, W-L-W-L-W... I expect we'll follow this pattern most of the season and finish around .500 again. We may be 7-9 and, if things break the Steelers' way, we could be 9-7 and sneak in. I just don't see much to get excited about this season. In the end, I think we're on the outside looking in for the third consecutive season.

 

I was thinking 8-8 until yesterday's game. Now I'm thinking 7-9. We aren't very good.

 

Nope. Post #21 pretty much sums it up.

 

No. This still looks like an 8-8 team. More experience for the young guys and a couple of CB's in the draft and the team will improve.
