Theirs a decent chance Steelers get into playoffs before even playing Washington Monday.

GO STEELERS !!!

 

Steelers are going to be pissed off after Ravens game performance. I hope the whole team is watching sports media today, ripping them to shreds. Herd, Undisputed, NFL Live, etc... all bashed Steelers on their win.

 

I don’t think the Washington game will be a walk in the park but I do expect the Steelers to play much better then they did yesterday especially on offense and ultimately win the game as well to get to 12-0. They should have a chance to clinch the AFC North on Monday as I expect the Titans to beat the Browns in Tennessee on Sunday. A side note as well the Steelers will clinch at very worst the number 2 seed in the AFC if they win the next 2 games against Washington and Buffalo.

 

As you say, this negative attention really helps us. One would think a swift kick in the a** by the media world is going to motivate the Steelers all the more going into Washington.

11-0 and still no respect. As if it’s so easy to win in the NFL. How about some respect for always finding a way to win in a league of world class athletes.

 

Steelers are always the bad guy when it comes to national media. Nobody liked an "America's team" losing. Art Sr. would be proud of his team.

 

Gotta go into the kitchen and cook up a win

Do not seek comfort in winning the division, this team has greater goals

Don’t particularly like that the 2nd seed doesn’t have a bye. We do not care, get the first seed and earn the bye and things of that nature

 

I wouldn't think Steeler fans will buy many shirts saying 2020 AFC North Champs now if the Browns would win the division I don't think Cleveland sport stores could keep up with the demand.

 

What is it you see with the Browns? They MIGHT see 10 wins this year due to the gravy schedule.

 

My point is that Steeler fans won't get too excited about winning the AFC North title where fans of the Browns or Bengals would find that a great accomplishment.

 

I'm excited that we reclaimed the division title, it's a big deal for me. The playoffs are a crapshoot imo, just takes one bad outing & your done. The best team doesn't always win the SB but they almost always win their division.

 

Browns are exremely good at running the ball, best one two punch in the NFL for sure. But, at some point Baker Mayfield is going to have to win them a game and with that I have little faith,. Plus their secondary is crap, their defense to me is below average at best. Sure Myles is great, but they give up a lot of points.

 

steel machine is right, the Browns fans have been through purgatory with that expansion franchise. I'd be on top of the world as a Brown fan this year whether they make the playoffs or not. They are hanging in there still, something that looks new for them to me.

 

I would hate to think we require negative media attention to get up (more) for a game. Nearly lost to the Girls and way to close to a JV Rat team. One question that I keep thinking what the answer is is what's one thing have we have improved on that has been a pebble in our shoe for weeks now? Running game, OL blocking, deep passing attack, giving up big 3rd down yardage transition plays. I think we still have most of these and I was hoping improvement would been more obvious that it has.
Its a great ride right now being undefeated but I can understand (don't necessarily agree) why there is not the respect you'd think we would be getting. People say that style points is only for NCAAFB but i believe it carries over to the NFL in the meaningless power polls and the media idiots who are pissed off their projections were shown to be so wrong before the season started. Besides, who cares what they think, do, or say anyway. We win by brute force or ugly and since we're not a media darling, we get little recognition. IF we were the Girls and undefeated right now, do you think there would be difference in the media? They still take up most of the time of the sports talk shows and they are horrible. Winning will cure all ills so that is what matters right now. Bring on the Redskins for #12.

 

Well said

 

I'd buy one. I have a shirt from every Steelers division title since 1992. Can't beat championship merch!

What I would like to see if anyone is caught wearing a 2020 NFC East Champs shirt.

 

Hats and T-Shirts games don’t come very often. After a 2 year absence, acknowledge the accomplishment but understand there’s more out there to cook up, do yo speak. So, claim the prize and head back into the kitchen for more.

 

The Browns just pushed their lead to 17-0 on the first play of the second quarter against the Titans. I think way too many Steelers fans are too caught up in what Pittsburgh did to Cleveland in the first meeting to see that the Browns are actually good.

To be clear, it would take an epic collapse by the Steelers for the Browns to win the division. As long as the Steelers beat the Bengals, they would hold the tiebreaker even if the Browns won the final game of the season. That said, the Browns would be 9-3 with a win today and the still have the Giants and Jets on their remaining schedule.

 

They do look better. I still expect a sweep, have to stop that run game w/o giving them their formula for winning. Scoring off turnovers.

 

I think the Browns are going to end up 11-4 heading into that final game of the season against the Steelers. The tougher question to me is wat record the Steelers will bring to that game, especially with the injuries starting to pile up.

 

Lol...i think the Steelers can eek out another win. We should have them in divisional record. Their next Ravens game will be huge for them & even bigger for the sliding powerhouse.

 

So far, Titans seem to be a fraud

 

The Browns are wiping out the Titans. Browns offense looks like Chiefs offense.

 

Maybe we get help elsewhere today. Raiders losing late and Colts in a tight one. Never saw Browns beating up on the Titans like they did today. Any given Sunday I guess.
