    Damn the Titans. They choked big time.

    Literally within seconds of each other, the Raiders scored a last second TD and the Texans fumbled at the 3 yard line. The Steelers are just going to have to take care of business themselves

    Wow, Steelers got no help from the rest of the league today. Tennessee gets boat raced by Cleveland, and NYJ and Houston choke away victories in the final seconds of their games.

    Just gotta TCB tomorrow.

    Steelers are knocking on 12-0(possibly) and we’re looking for help from other teams ‍♂️

    Did Tennessee try to pressure Mayfield? Or has he turned the turnover corner?

    My point was more about my certainty that the Browns at least get to 11 wins.

    Mayfield has had games like this before. He just hasn't been able to sustain it.

    I've yet to see him be effective when teams come after him. I don't have the whole sample size either. I didn't see today's game but don't put any stock in the Titans defense this year.

    They don't have a pass rush.

    Steelers are a very banged up team right now. I don’t see us losing to Cincy but the other 4???? We better win tomorrow if we want to go 13-3

    Buffalo and Cleveland are losses and Indy is probably a coin flip.

    I don't think so. Though we have stumbled to close out the season for 2 years now i see us rectifying that situation this year.

    I would have agreed with you if not for the injuries. Our D is severely hamstrung now without Bush and Bud. Add in a banged up 38 year old Ben no center and no kicker for an offense that struggles in the red zone? I’ll stand by my statement 14-2 best case scenario unfortunately. I’d bet we end up 13-3

    split the Skins and Colts
    Beat Cincy
    Lose to Buff and Cleveland

    The biggest thing I’m concerned about is if we lose tomorrow I could see that Cleveland game to end the season be for the division. Imagine starting 11-0 and being a wild card team.

    I'm going with 15-1
    14-2 at the least
    We'll sweep the division this year, Ben is just warming up.

    14-2 seems like a disappointment at this point.

    14-2 with the way we are playing and injuries we are sustaining would be quite the achievement actually. 13-3 would be disappointing because it would mean we ended the year 2-3. Unfortunately that’s what I think it will be. Tomorrow goes along way to make sure we don’t go 1-4 God Forbid.

    Think back to the start of the season, 14-2 is awesome sauce.

    11-5 would be disappointing.

    That won't happen. The Browns will lose to the Ravens, who will be back at full strength then. The Giants suddenly now loom as a much tougher out for both the Ravens and Browns.

    The Browns were outscored 28-3 in the second half today, remember that.

    Maybe the football gods at least give us Denver over KC tonight. Denver leading late 2nd qtr by 7. It’s asking a lot, I know.

    Got a lot of hilarious on this thread. Let me re phase this. 12-4 this team is cooked. Would expect nothing less of TOMLIN

    12-4 gets Ben one of his limited shots at carrying Tomlin to Cowher playoff heights. Are you throwing winning 11 straight games out the window?

    Yes, there are people who really seem to think that the 11 game winning streak happened by luck.
