Don't look now but your Pittsburgh Steelers are back in first place

For a few more days at least.

 

Nope

 

A temporary situation at best.

 

Joe Burrow is back so the Bengals can play spoiler now. Glad the Steelers are done with them.

Burrow against Austin’s pass defense? Wouldn't be pretty

 

Ravens seem to be in as much disarray as the Steelers. It would be wild if we ended up in a 3 way tie for first with a 8-9 at the end of the season.

 

Our remaining schedule is easier than the Rats got.

Rats are not what they used to be.

We have a good chance to win the division.

 

winning the division may be the only way to get into the playoffs

 

Any word on rodgers playing Sunday? And if not, can Howard play? Because i really cannot bare to watch a 86 rating QB throw interceptions, get the ball knocked down, and miss anything that's further than 8 yards to throw to.

 

We still need to beat the Bills Sunday. This is simply a 3 day reprieve at the moment. Burrow playing spoiler certainly helps though.

 

This is massive since maybe the steelers could have the tiebreaker vs ravens if they split the season series....It all depends of the division record and common opponents record if they have the same record....Of course I still refuse to have false hope for the steelers

 

Based on the product we’ve seen so far (and even our best yet) i cannot believe anyone here wants to watch this team go to another playoff game to get out coached, schemed, prepared, and played. AGAIN.

Yes, I know I’m supposed to be a fan. But I’m not a fan of continued habitual losses. It’s embarrasing.

I’ll take the draft order.

 

Some of you get real excited about losing in the first round of the playoffs again.

 

Thinking only 1 AFCN team will be in Playoffs?

 

The Steelers are not a good football team but I am starting to eat Crow about the Ravens and Chiefs. The Ravens could still win the division and get in just based on how poor the North is but KC is in real trouble to even make it in. Even if the Ravens make it in they don’t look like a team that is making a run. If the Bills loss to us Sunday could all 3 be in trouble???

 

100% that’s almost a guarantee at this point if we lose Sunday because the Ravens and Steelers play 2X

 

At moment AFC is wide open. No clear cut leader. Whoever catches fire at end of season will be in SB. Way it looks now I'd bet 5 of 7 that make Playoffs will have a decent shot at SB.

 

Don't count the Bengals out just yet. I think 8-9 could win this division. They play a beat up Bills team next week. Then 3 out of last 4 games are in Cinncy against Baltimore, Arizona, Cleveland, and @Miami.

If they beat the Ravens again, and Browns, they would have a division record of 5-1, giving them the tie breaker over Pittsburgh and Baltimore. They could actually lose to the Bills, Dolphins or Cardinals and still finish 8-9.

We could EASILY lose both to Baltimore and lose to the Lions and Bills. 8-9

Even if the Ravens sweep us, their other games are @Bengals, @Green Bay, Patriots. Could easily lose all three. 8-9.

 

We'll crush them, they suck!

 

You mean you don't want to see us limp into the playoffs, lose the first game, get the 21st pick, and preserve Tomlin's awesome no losing season streak so we get him back next year?

 

Sound familiar? That was a Raven fan after losing to the Bungles.

 

Whichever roster is healthiest will win the division. Right now it's clear LJ isn't 100%. Rodgers isn't 100%. Burrow? He's a tackle away from going back to IR. Sanders? LOL. Cleveland is all puffed up about beating LVR with a QB that barely completed 50% of his passes.

 

Steelers in first place and about to drop the next 6 games.

We might beat Miami or Cleveland... but even that may be too tall a task.

On another note... I love how the media darling Ravens are circling the drain like the Steelers. Sports media has to talk about Burrow and his valiant return over the great Lamar.

Sad thing is... Bengals may be the only team out of the North who could actually do damage in the playoffs.... but they have already lost too many games.
