The Steelers have a three game lead in the AFC North

Baltimore lost to the Patriots tonight, that gives the Ravens 3 losses in conference, here we go Steelers

 

4 if you include the tie breaker.

 

Another thread already going.

 

Would take an epic collapse. Normally would be worried but this team doesn’t know how to lose lol

 

Division race is all but wrapped up it’s time to start focusing on the 1 seed and getting that only bye week this season, and getting homefield throughout and holding off the Chiefs.

 

I think it's 3.5, not 4 including the tiebreaker.

 

With this Ravens loss in New England tonight if the Steelers win their next 3 games at Jacksonville next week, at home against the Ravens on Thanksgiving and then the following week at home against Washington they will clinch the AFC North on December 6th at 12-0.

 

What can the Death Star do for you? LOL. Nice. I was wondering if Belicheat could cook up a plan to beat the Ratbirds.

 

Nothing like a losing streak to mess it all up, so it ain`t over yet. Yep, get to 12-0 first, then we will have the division.

 

On to Jacksonville.

 

Jacksonville are poor but they gave Green Bay a game yesterday, nothing whatsoever can be taken for granted going there.

Ravens are struggling a bit and might not make up the three games even if the Steelers have a few slip ups.

 

With the tiebreaker, it is technically a four-game lead.

 

Let Ben stay at home with the kids every week

 

I did not expect the Ravens to lose against New England. The Steelers could play like crap down the stretch but as long as they beat the Ravens in Pittsburgh, it should be game over for the division.

 

The Jags did give the Packers a good game but the bottom line is they still lost and the Jags have lost 8 games in a row since winning on opening day. You don’t lose 8 games in a row by accident you lose 8 games in a row because you stink period. They have lost to a lot of bad to mediocre teams during that losing streak such as the Dolphins with Fitzpatrick, twice to the Texans who have their only two wins this season against the Jags, the Bengals, Lions, and the Chargers as well. The Jaguars stink overall and the Steelers absolutely have no business losing to them and won’t lose to them.

 

Ravens are missing some players. I know Calais may be out vs us in thanksgiving. That bodes well

 

He said he’s reading challenged

 

The Ravens desperately needed to stay within 2 games of the Steelers going into that Thanksgiving game in 10 days after they lost to the Steelers at home a few weeks ago and even if they did that they still would have had a hard time catching the Steelers. Now that the deficit is 3 games with 7 left to play it’s almost impossible now for the Ravens to make that up. It’s why I stated on here after the Ravens lost that game at home to the Steelers and lost the tiebreaker that I knew the division race was all but over and the Ravens had no chance of making that up.

Meanwhile, on the Bengals MB, one can find:

- Joe Burrow sucks
- Zac Taylor should be fire
- Bring back Marvin Lewis

Perhaps my expectations of a Cincinnati revival were a touch optimistic.

 

Yeah, normally I'd say we will screw this up but there is a different feel to this Steeler team.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing lol

 

Can Steelers clinch a playoff berth with a win over Jax on Sunday? That would be epic... clinch a playoff spot in mid November. I have to remain objective though... Steelers can choke royally to the Jags. Too much history to assume this will be a definite win.

 

I'm not sure but I do think that if they win the next three, they win the division...

 

10 wins should seal the deal. Unless my math is off. That should be enough for at least a Wilcard, since we're gonna have either 7-8 teams from each conference in the playoffs.
