    He will get in on his first chance. No contest.


    Too good a player and person for the Voting Commitee to pass up. Those are the "special people" they look for in Canton to warrant such a distinction.

    Redskins are overrated. At philly will be tough for them. Their division is terrible.

    Watching the Pats this year they are very beatable. Only thing is you cant make mistakes against them. Idk if we're capable of a mistake free game.

    Patriots win again and improve to 7-2 overall with their 6th straight win. It’s going to be very hard to catch the Pats in the race for a bye week.

    The Pats have 2 losses. That is the same amount as the Steelers. Plus there is the head to head matchup coming up. The Steelers take care of their own business, they will get a bye

    We cant lose but one game. I think the new orlenas game is a loss we simply have no answer for their offense and especially at home. I feel we can beat the Pats this time around I havent been impressed with them thus far.

    The Saints will be very tough. The secondary will have to play better than the falcons game and their run defense is the best in the league!

    If the D upfront gets after Brees it's very possible to win. He folds after being hit and knocked around. If we keep the pressure up on opposing QB's we have a good chance.

    The Steelers seem to play poorly after a bye. Maybe we are better off without it?

    I thought we could maybe lose 2 more games but after seeing the Patriots win again last night it’s looking like maybe only one game like you just mentioned. The Steelers will have to beat the Pats head to head and hope they lose one more game to overtake them in the standings.Aside from the Steelers game The Patriots have games left at Tenn, at Miami, at the Jets, and the Vikings at home. Those are the only potential games I could maybe see them losing because they have been known to slip up at times down in Miami and occasionally on the road against the Jets. They aren’t gonna lose to the Bills or Jets at home cause they never lose at home within the division. The Vikings I feel could give them a decent game in Foxboro but I still have a hard time seeing them losing that game to them.

    So with that being said, the Steelers can maybe afford one more loss and I think it almost has to be to the Saints two days before Christmas. The Steelers should win road games at Jacksonville, at Denver and at Oakland and they need to take care of their home games with the Panthers this week, the Chargers at home and the Bengals the last week of the season. That leaves the game with the Pats here on December 16th that the Steelers MUST win and as I mentioned hope the Patriots lose one more game besides that. So we’ll see how it all shakes out but that’s what it looks like it’s gonna take to get that number 2 seed and that week off.

    The Rams do have a better defensive front, but their secondary hasn't been good at all.

    The tie with Cleveland killed us when it comes to getting a bye. I feel pretty good if we're sitting at 6-2.

    been thinking this as well.

    We do not do too hot after a bye. We also do not fair well at gillette.

    our best bet would be 1. avoid the pats, 2. be healthy 3. be hot(bye may halter this)

    Better hope the Pats get either the Texans or Chargers in divisional round. Those are the only teams besides the Chiefs who have a snowball's chance. Chiefs will likely get a bye... 1 or 2 seed. If Steelers get the 3 seed, they may be able to avoid Patriots until AFC championship, if Steelers make it that far.

    if we get 3 seed i would feel comfortable that Texans beat the pats in a rematch.

    2005/2008/2010 all involved pats being taken out

    I didn't look at their schedule but now seeing that they play Minnesota they can lose that game. They also can possibly lose to miami at home brady has always had trouble there.

    Good point but that's any qb except maybe Rodgers. But if aaron Donald and the rams dline couldnt penetrate them I dont see how we can.

    Yupp I completely agree. I actually like the matchups both teams pose to NE even at home. The chargers are very good and bosa will be back soon. That defense can give brady problems.
