    Wouldn’t surprise me if Steelers went 16-0 and got blown out the first playoff game haha

    5 of our 11 wins are by at least two scores. Only one of our wins was as close as 3 points. We have won by the following: 10, 5, 7, 9, 31, 3, 4, 5, 26, 24, 5. And it isn't like we have been padding those numbers at the end. In several of them it was the opposite. I am not sure what people expect. This is the NFL and all the other teams are full of professional football players. We are lucky to be 11-0 but even without luck we would be one of the better teams in the NFL.

    Nobody is talking about Ben. I thought he played a good game overall. He didn't get much help from his WRs, other than JuJu and Wash.

    It's taken me weeks to figure out WFT. But the lightbulb just went on.

    I was thinking What F*** T?:shrug:

    Canada was allowed to coach. It was not the coaching this time. It was the execution.

    Ben's INT in the end zone was horrible but it was 4th down so it didn't matter much anyways. There were 2 ways he could have scored there. If he threw that ball harder towards the back of the endzone it would have been a TD or if he found Derek Watt in the middle it was a TD. Other than that Ben played pretty good but certainly didn't get much help, especially from Dionte and Ebron at times.

    The Steelers have done this for years but the difference is the 2020 team knows how to close when it matters. Pretty fantastic to watch - heart attack and all.

    Maybe. I think the WFT are better than their 4-7 record and they've so much better with consistent QB play but they still aren't a splash team and take way too many FGs. If the offense can hold onto passes, I think the Steelers win by 10+. It helps we're home.

    Ben was fantastic. Add even five of those 10 drops and his line is 41/51 for 300+ yards and folks are raving. Hell, if DJ gets the TD, he has two TDs and only one pick... though that was one of the dumbest throws I've ever seen.

    We could have done without a pick in the end zone. Not one of Ben's better games but good enough. IMO

    Half of the throws were 2 ards or less, which are like runnig plays.

    Yep.



    I am more worried about that stout Football Team front seven. By far and away the most difficult Front Seven we have faced all season. It will be all hands on Deck in the next outing.



    Chase Young gives me pause for concern above all else. I knew he would be good since stepping onto Ohio State Campus. I did not realize he would be this dominant.

    Opps! Forgot about the name thing. I also forgot we are home. I now wonder if home field has any advantage at all.

    They have a good front four, but their secondary can be taken advantage of.

    It does just from not having to travel and sleeping in your own bed. Over the years of traveling a lot, I found it’s nice to be in your own bed.

    Let`s check your hypothesis.

    Heinz: "We are doomed.".

    Tomlin: "We sucked."

    Yes, you are correct. More detail by three letters. LOL.

    We can take advantage of the secondary if we throw it that far.

    Maybe. I got a bad feeling about this game. Had been confident going into games up till now. Maybe our defense will win the day.

    It seems to be the perfect week to put in the least effort to win. Losing to them does not hurt AFC tie breaker. Seems to fit.

    If we play poorly and lose, expect media storm of "AHA!, Their luck ran out" and the like.

    Yeah, what was making me crazy where the number of short throws he made that were not beyond the down marker on short yardage downs...

    They did win the next two by 26 and then 24 before the Ravens, which was a weird situation and those games are almost always rough.

    Point differential?

    JUST SO YOU KNOW... Pittsburgh leads the league with a 11.7 margin. FIRST

    Second is KC at 10.0 and the rest down the line are in the single digits. soooooo....hard to base an argument on "scraping by" when we lead in point differential.
