A LEGIT contender doesn't even come close to losing this game

Houston is a weak team at this point, with a 3rd-string QB. If the Steelers are a legit contender, they blow them out. It is not a div. rival, so that factor goes out the window. A true, professional, legit contender team takes care of business this game. If not, it is an indictment for Tomlin's weakness.

There is no way they should be in any jeopardy of losing the 2nd seed, facing Houston and the Browns. If they do, a change must be made.

 

A legit poster doesn’t even come close to making this thread.

 

Get the win, injury free and I’ll be happy!

 

Watch the Browns get their only win of the season against us lol

 

An injury free team comes out and dominates. This team is far from that. I'll be happy with a W with minor bumps and bruises only. The team should be very focused though on getting the Bye week.

 

Can we stop with this legitimate contender foolishness? The Steelers proved they are a legitimate contender by winning 11 games. They proved it b coming a shaky overturned touchdown call away from beating the Patriots. They did that mostly without Antonio Brown and entirely without their best cornerback, a starting offensive tackle and a starting tight end.

We know what the Steelers are. They can jump up and beat anybody, but they are capable of stinkers against bad teams, especially on the road. That becomes even more likely with their best player, Brown, missing the game. They are absolutely capable of losing today, then going on to win the Super Bowl.

 

Congrats sir. You have emerged from the thread victorious....

Haha too funny

 

The thread should be about Jax v SF

 

When is anyone going to like this team? They have now won 21 of 25 games. They played a much tougher schedule than most people realize. They overcame a lot of adversity, some but not all of which was self created. Should they win next week to go 13-3, only 2 Steelers teams ever will have won more games in the regular season.

 

I love this team. You'll never hear me say we're going to lose a game.

 

perhaps overlooked as well- this team went 7-1 on the road this year, which I believe only 2 Steelers teams (1978 and 2004) have matched.

 

Don’t be confusing us with facts.

 

It’s just the Patriot factor that ruins it we always know they are there and we have never been able to beat them. Other than that this team has been great and I want one more shot with AB healthy

 

And Star MLB...

 

We will probably monitor the patriot - jet game. If the Jets are blown out by halftime we will probably kick it out of gear and remove the statrters.

 

That's what I'm thinking, too. Sorry people in your fantasy championships!

 

I'm not sure we wait until halftime. This ain't the same Jets team that almost (should have except for....) beat the Pats earlier in the year. And the fact the game takes place in Foxboro (for a variety of reasons) makes that game over before it begins.....

 

Thanks to losing the #1 seed to NE, high probability we see them again. Think Steelers better worry about fixing their game plan to avoid getting embarrassed again then how they played against the 49ers.

 

Is this thread for one and done Eagles too?

 

Na we’ll take care of the Browns. We have WAY too much talent to lose at home to the Browns. It would be great if somehow someway the Pats lose to the Jets and we beat the Browns to get the #1 seed that’s ours to begin with. I’m still salty about that overturn against the Pats. Although it should of never come down to that play. The Jags are a team to watch out for. I live in Florida and see everyone of their games their no joke except this past weekend. I love watching Jimmy Garoppolo go off cause you know Belicheat wanted to keep him and let Brady go but he got overruled by Kraft.

 

Who are you to say?

 

Agreed, had they done the typical Tomlin crap the bed routine, I'd be concerned. But they crushed them, as they should, when facing a FOURTH string QB who was on his couch a few weeks ago.

 

Does that make you smart or just a zealot?

 

It makes me a good fan and a supporter of the team.
