Steelers Chances of Winning

What are our chances? We have one of the most dominant offenses in the league, and our defense plays better and smarter when our offense is clicking. I'm hoping we figure out our running back situation, if Deagelo can't return. Steelers, you've won it from the wild card before. Play smart and play hard, and it's ours for the taking.

 

Realistically? Slim, but anything can happen.

 

Haha well you're a very supportive fan I see

 

Right now, I don't care about their chances of a SB. I just want to revel in burying the Bengals, in their own stadium.

 

I'd say the chances are just as good as NE,DEN,KC,CINCY,HOU,,,ect..
You get the point

 

Truthfully, the Steelers outplayed the Bengals in both meetings by a pretty fair margin. If not for a rusty Big Ben throwing bad INTs late in the first game, we'd have beaten them twice this year. For whatever reason our defense plays really well against them. I like our chances to win.

 

I am one of the more pessimistic fans right here. So get this:

The stars aligned for the Steelers today.

1. they get division rival, and beatable Cincinnati in the first round.
2. A win there and they get a Denver team they have also already beaten (albeit without Peyton).
3. It is possible that KC wins out and hosts the AFCCG.

Imagine: #6 at #5 for the AFC title. That is a realistic possibility.

All that said, the defense better put on their big boy pants. They won't be facing the likes of Austin Davis the rest of the way.

 

Like always, we go how Ben goes...

Will be a lot tougher if D`angelo is out, but still...

We got a shot.

When we don`t beat ourselves, with turnovers, poor penalties, and missed tackles, we can beat ANYONE!!!!

I like our chances, and I`m glad we still have them!!!

 

How is d Angelo by the way

 

I like our chances. Think of it this way, they are in the same place even if they didn't lay an egg in Baltimore.

 

I like our chances next week. One game at a time.

 

Bingo. It all depends on Ben. Talk all you want about the defense and DWill being hurt, but the Steelers can not afford dumb Ben to show up. His a franchise HOF 100 million dollar QB and better than every QB in the AFC (right now) other than Brady. It's all up to him.

 

Will we get the 100million dollar Ben or the 2 tds with 8 interceptions on the road Ben?

 

It depends on how many bonehead ints Ben throws.

 

We get the bonehead Ben, the Steelers are 1 and done and Cincy breaks their streak.

 

I'm not extremely confident with our defense and NO running game, but we have a better chance than we would have sitting at home. I hope D-Will is a fast healer!

 

New England has lost 2 in a row to end the season....has any team ever lost their final 2 regular season games and went on to the Super Bowl before ????

 

I want to say yes. and I want to say it was the Colts, but I'd have to look this one up. Sounds like a project!

 

Yep. 2009 Colts.

 

This is exactly what I thought when I saw this thread. LOL!

 

But has a team done it and won?

 

I'd say Steelers should be 3 point favorites over the Bengirls.

 

Yes. the 1967 Green Bay Packers.
