    Your right, we can point to turnovers and injuries but at the end of the day a playoff team is supposed to do better than a miserable 0-3, with none of those three games even close.

    they may beat the bengals but were clearly not a contender and i wonder if were any better than last year.

    yes, the coaching in general is really bad on this team.

    The only way we get a home game is if we beat the Bengals and the Browns beat the Ravens but the Browns aren't winning that game with DRT at QB. If we beat the Bengals then we clinch the #5 seed and play Houston in the playoffs. If we lose to the Bengals then we fall to the #6 seed and play at Baltimore. If the Broncos win their last 2 games against the Bengals and Chiefs and we lose to the Bengals then we fall to the #7 seed and play at Buffalo. So we better go all in against the Bengals to avoid the Ravens or Bills in the first round.

    Good info! I sure the hell hope it's Houston. If we want to have a chance at a Playoff win we best beat Bengals. I hope there is a chance the game is meaningless for them.

    Way I see it, we beat Bengals we have a chance at Playoff win, we lose, no way we go up to Buffalo and win.

    Listening to the post game comments from MT WE'LL STAY DOWN! and players Keep our HEADS DOWN! and get to work and get better that's all we can do at this point! What!! Stay down, Head down!! how about act like pros and stand up,keep heads up and get better! This mentality is insane! Players claiming other players don't want to work for it! Get real! MT Send a message any under achievers get benched and put 2nd or 3rd string players in who want to work and win! This is ridiculous talk! How about a pay for play pay process! That heads turning for sure!

    Worst coached defense in the NFL too, Tomlin's running a stale base defense from 2 oyears ago. I don't blame Teryl Austin for this shambles, he's just a puppet it's Tomlin's defense.

    These are the games we need to see, and more importantly, Tomlin and Khan need to see.... if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best.... the losses won't bother me as much if we learn and grow from them, but if we keep doing the same things over and over while expecting a different result, then changes must be made starting with the coaches

    What has to happen will never happen because of the steeler fans. The only way Rooney makes a change is if people stop buying tickets and it hurts their wallet. Have the stadium 3/4 empty seats that’s the only way they change the coach and we all know that will never happen.

    Does this season remind anybody of last years Eagle team?

    So a Bengals win this weekend keeps the Steelers out of Buffalo?

    I guess I can watch football this weekend.

    Yes if the Broncos lose the worst the Steelers can be is the #6 seed.

    TBH, the Browns should put the Turnover Machine back in. He can at least move the team up and down the field. DTR is just lousy.

    Yeah. This franchise is stagnant. This team is not a Superbowl Contender, never was, but there is no shame in losing to the Eagles and Chiefs, who have obscene amounts of defensive talent. They are just better all-around, especially the Chiefs, who are on a 70's Steelers or Patriots Dynasty run.

    We have a coaching limitation, Moderate QB play, Moderate O-Line play, and one good receiver. Our defense is starting to get old, wearing down, and is expensive.

    The fact we are a Wild Card Contender is a miracle and there have been enjoyable highlights this season. I thought this was going to be a 9-8 team at best. They exceeded my expectations.

    Until the long-term QB position and perhaps a better Head Coach is found, this is about as good as it will get.
