Playoff position

Drops to 7th.

Not that it's super relevant at this point, but for discussion.

Tied with Indy, tied in conference record too.

Colts remaining SOS (outside the Steelers) .442
Steelers remaining SOS (outside the Colts) .467

So do the Steelers really have a path to the playoffs?

May come down to winning at Indy.

And that doesn't consider the Bills, who have a brutal schedule but would it shock anyone to see them get to 10 or 11 wins?

 

Yea this loss today it didn’t kill their playoff chances by any stretch but it didn’t help them either. The Texans having the head to head tiebreaker over the Steelers is something that is gonna hurt them. I won’t sit here and say they have to win this Bengals game next week even though they should facing a guy like Jake Browning but you have to win the back to back home games after that with the Cardinals and Patriots and then that game at Indy on December 17th. And with as bad as Pickett has looked and this offense can be no game is a “gimmie” or an automatic win. So while I don’t think they will lose to the Cardinals or Patriots at home it’s not impossible to suggest they could. The Cards are a much better team with Kyler Murray back now and I’m telling you that game coming up here in two weeks with Arizona will by no stretch be an easy win for the Steelers. The bottom line is you better make the playoffs with this remaining schedule if you are the Steelers. If they don’t by some chance heads should roll starting with Tomlin. It will be completely inexcusable for the Steelers to miss the playoffs with their remaining schedule it just can’t happen.

 

Its a moot point. If we want to go to the playoffs we HAVE to win 10. I don't care who they beat to get there. We can lose any of the remaining games, or win any of them. 7 left. Gotta win 4 to have a chance. 5 probably guarantees us a spot.

 

Steelers have a slim chance of making playoffs I’m not convinced they can beat any one every game they will have the worst QB on the field and the worst offense. Praying for 5 turnovers a gsme is no way to play

 

It is hard to be confident about the Steelers ever winning another game after yesterday, but nevertheless here is the road-

The Steelers control their destiny against the Colts and the Bengals. Split with Cincy, beat the Colts, and win the 2 home games against Arizona and New England. That leaves them with a 10-7 record assuming they lose the last 2. The team to watch is the Bills because the Steelers don't play them. The Bills looked great yesterday but have a murderous schedule the rest of the way, and all 5 of their losses are in the AFC. I do think the Steelers need to make a Qb change in order to pull this off.

 

It will take a miracle to get to 10. Yesterday was a kick in the teeth.

 

Steelers will lose to either Pats or Arizona never ever goes as planned and they will not win a game on the road

 

I’ll play devils advocate if the Browns had Watson no one thought the Steelers would win so they are actually where we thought
