    Another team that's on our schedule that we can count as a win. We didnt consider the injury bug for other teams

    Joe Flacco injury doesn't mean a thing if we don't win next week in Seattle

    Joe Flocco's injury doesn't mean a damn thing if the Chiefs win today and we lose next week

    Even with a loss next week...we will still end up 11-5 and make the playoffs

    I'm concerned for next week only. However the donkeys with Osweiler doesn't seem a gimme much now. I think we hammer Peyton at this stage, but might need to plan for a QB that is capable

    I don't think a loss in Seattle next week would be devastating. The Steelers would still be 6-5 and plus losing to Seattle is not an AFC loss so it won't make our conference record any worse. KC is a bit of a concern but I don't see them running the table and winning out either. A lot of these 5-5 teams now such as the Jets,Texans,and even Buffalo and KC don't have good enough QB's I feel to win out or win enough to hold off the Steelers for the rest of the season. Plus a lot of these teams still play each other too and will beat each other up in the standings for playoff positioning and tiebrakers. I really think if the Steelers go 10-6 they are in.

    Flacco's injury doesn't mean a thing because the Ravens were "done" anyway.

    The Steelers should be able to handle the Ravens a lot better now without them having both Flacco and Forsett which is basically their entire offense. Ben will be playing against them as well this time and the Ravens defense stinks so he should have a good game and be able to score a lot of points in that game.

    That's too bad. Knee injuries are never good. This almost certainly means the Ravens will be right in the running for the top pick in the draft next year.

    My guess would be that they are in the market for Bosa maybe to replace Thuggs or any and all of the secondary players at the top of the draft. OT's too.

    Biggest problem with the Ravens imploding like this (possibly for years) is there will be no one to knock off the Pats for us come playoff time - certainly won't be the Bungles and the Colts, Jets and Denver won't do the dirty. At least the Panthers might stop them in a SB - but that doesn't help the Steelers much. :shrug:

    My only concern about that game is Ben making it out of there against the dirty rats.

    If there's one thing us Steelers fans should know, is that we can never count on this team to win against inferior teams. We should easily beat the Rats, but those have been the kind of games we've lost in the past.

    Yeah it would have been much harder for them to stomach if they had been in the midst of a run. But at least they have to go out every week from here on out knowing that they're basically just going through the motions.

    Dude I am dying for Ben to up there and absolutely destroy them mercilessly. We would have completely totaled them if he had played in the first game. I am thirsty for blood in that away game. I hope he hangs another 6 or more on them.

    something tells me that
    the week before Ben might tweak something or another and might not play in the game at Baltimore or at least be the starter

    The Ravens had a 14pt lead twice on the Patriots last year in the playoffs and still lost.

    I seriously hope you're wrong but it's pretty ridiculous how many times Ben has had to miss games against them in the past few years.
