    Great win over an always dangerous Ravens team. Overcame the refs trying to make it a nailbiter.

    Currently 5-2-1
    Panthers L - Panthers are red hot. We struggle vs mobile QBs like Newton and elusive RBs like McCaffrey.
    @ Jags W - Hot mess right now
    @ Broncos W
    Chargers L - Also too much offense for us to handle
    @ Raiders W - Even hotter mess than the Jags
    Pats L - nuff said
    @ Saints L - Will probably be playing the Pats in the Super Bowl
    Bengals W - for the sweep

    Finish: 9-6-1, good for a WC. Bengals win the AFCN despite our sweep.

    The Bengals play the Saints this week and the Steelers play the Patriots because they were both division champs last year

    I was about to post this. But I think the Steelers play the pats because the NFL enjoys watching the pats go in to Heinz every year and win for some sick reason

    The honor of having won our division last year. The NFL is looking for parity.

    I see the Bengals losing to the Saints this week, at San Diego and at Pittsburgh, I don't think the win the division

    I disagree completely with a lot of your projections. I don’t know how you see Cincy winning more games then the Steelers I just don’t see it and it won’t happen. The Steelers aren’t gonna lose all 3 home games to the Panthers this week, the Chargers in early December or to the Pats. I think they will go worst case 2-1 in that stretch or maybe even 3-0. Carolina is good but they have lost games on the road to the Falcons and Redskins. So they can be beat the Steelers will beat them at home on Thursday night. Ben has an excellent record at home against NFC teams and I think it keeps up this week.

    The Bengals play the Saints in Cincinnati this Sunday which should drop them to 5-4.

    Just enjoy the win dude. Why is it that after the biggest win of the season, your first thought is to come on here and talk about all the games the Steelers are going to lose? Steelers are getting better each week. It's unlikely that we win out. It's even more unlikely that we lose 4 games.

    If I had to guess, I will say we finish 11-4-1. We will win 1 of the games against the Saints or Pats. We will also drop a game that nobody was thinking we would.

    What makes you think we will be able to beat the Pats this year?

    Well, I haven't yet but I think they have a chance. Steelers were a "survive the ground" rule away from beating them last year. It's also at Heinz not NE.

    I'd like to see the Steelers continue their recent good play and continued improvement for a few more games and if they do, I think they beat NE.

    :sleepy: Why don't you prognosticator's just post how many you've gotten wrong since you started this boring trend. It might help in evaluating the relevancy of these amazing "insider knowledge" threads. Hell, even our current Pickem leader is only sitting at 60% correct and statisticians maintain that a monkey can regularly score 50% on right/wrong quizzes. I'd rather enjoy the season and let it unfold as it happens. :steelflag:

    He didnt say he thinks they are going to beat the Pats. He said he hasn't decided yet.

    Steelers outplayed the Pats for most of the game last year. We got robbed on the JJ play or we would have won. Its not out of the question that the Steelers win this time around.

    I like or chances better against NE than the chargers or carolina. I get it with our history vs ne but both the chargers and Panthers rn are playing better and are just better overall than ne.

    Patriots are a better team this year than they were last year. So far, the Steelers are slightly better than last year's team, but there's not nearly enough improvement to beat the Patriots, IMO.

    We did get robbed on that play but I blame the defense. They literally on that last drive ran the same play over and over to gronk and he killed us. Still dont get who on the staff thought it was a great idea for Davis to play press man on gronk in the most important drive the season. If we swap coaching staffs we win that game easily last yr.

    I would love to bet with you then. We do much better vs the Chargers and Panthers than the Pats. I won't even bother to look up the stats but in the last dozen or so games vs the Pats we've only won 2 or 3. I think our record vs the Chargers and Panthers is much closer to .500, perhaps even above .500.

    EDIT: I looked up the stats.

    We're 5-1 all time vs the Panthers and 23-9 all time vs the Chargers. Still want to say you think we have a better shot vs the Pats???
