    Bengals are 3-1
    Browns and Ravens will likely be 3-1 at the end of this weekend too

    If we lose to the Packers we'll fall to 1-3, making winning the AFCN basically impossible already. A wildcard also looks unlikely starting 1-3.

    Honestly, with how good the AFCN is (other than us) we may want to tank once we hit 5 losses (start 1-5).

    I don’t think it’s a Must Win yet. I think they can lose this game and drop to 1-3 and still not be completely dead in the water even if both the Browns and Ravens both win on the road in Minnesota and Denver. I think the Broncos game next Sunday is the Must Win game. I don’t think you can afford to lose 3 home games in a row, and plus dropping to 1-4 with another AFC loss is gonna make digging out of this hole that much more difficult. Keep in mind that the Ravens,Browns, and Bengals are gonna beat each other up and play each other and somebody will lose a game each time they do. So while you definitely don’t wanna drop to 1-3 with a loss in GB on Sunday I don’t feel it’s an absolute must win or the season is completely over if they don’t win this game.

    That will be a tall order...we would be 2 games down, but the bigger problem is you can't win your division without being able to beat the other 3 teams in your division.

    At it stands I see the Steelers going 0-6 vs the Browns, Ravens and Bengals. They all have superior QBs and better overall teams.

    This is like after ten meters, the white guy from Belarus thinking that he can't afford to fall behind Usain Bolt any further...

    The race was over before it started.

    Did you feel this way after we beat the Bills in week 1?

    Have you watched this team over the past nine games? They aren't going anywhere but the bottom of the division. Forget the playoffs.

    We lose Sunday then we will more than likely need to finish the season 10-3 . If you honestly think we can do that with our schedule you are delusional.

    Starting 1-2 already makes the climb tougher . But hey there’s always a chance.

    With that in mind we can start 1-6 and still have a shot. With the extra game a 10-7 team could easily get in. Its not likely but it will happen.

    Right, but I think I have a better shot of hooking up with Brittany Spears than the Steelers going on a 10-1 run to end the regular season.

    the ravens got a gift against detroit. that's the only way they are 2-1 now. the bengirls pulled one out of their arses last night. i don't think it's as tough as you make it out to be. we still play each of them except the bengirls two times. win those and it makes a huge difference. :cool:

    Can’t drink all day if you don’t start early in the morning.


    It’s gotta start some time.

    A win's a win. If it's so easy to pull a W out of one's ass why are we 1-2?

    Burrow is legit. Bengals should win a Super Bowl with him if they don't Bungle it up.

    I doubt this team could make any noise in the playoffs anyways. If the goal is to win a SB then there is about a 2% chance of them doing just that, To finish above .500 again I'd say there's about a 30% chance of doing that.

    I'd be very disappointed but would also welcome this team finishing 3-14 or 4-13 so that they can can get a top 3 draft pick. We need a QB desperately going into 2022 and the only way to get a real good one is to draft very very high. For all I care they could lose out and try to secure the #1 overall pick. They haven't had that in 52 years.

    We need a game changer, not a plug and play guy.

    As much as I want to win we need draft capital. Don’t need to watch the playoffs with Ben throwing 10 picks while the defense allows 40+ and Tomlins bumping his chest not realizing the other team scored a td.

    Yeah… I want us to play hard but still lose lol. This retooling thing is not going anywhere. Plus tired of the “no losing seasons” crap lol. Everything comes to an end eventually

    No, I was fooled by the unrepeatable, unsustainable way in which they won.

    But, the white guy from Belarus might be able to learn to play guard.
